When I worked for Bellcore, I once got a document marked "CONFIDENTIAL!"
whose only content was
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
* 0 #
The author admitted it was easier to mark everything confidential than
to actually think about it. Apparently the lawyers hadn't told him
that's counterproductive. (Basically, if you mark something as
confidential that you've already distributed widely in public, you're
implying that the other things you've marked confidential can also be
distributed widely in public.)
Some of the people in the meeting even framed the document with the
proprietary notice highlighted and hung it up in their office.

Ever notice how people in a zombie movie never already know how to
kill zombies? Ask 100 random people in America how to kill someone
who has reanimated from the dead in a secret viral weapons lab,
and how many do you think already know you need a head-shot?

Someone probably signed a non-disclosure agreement. ;-)

How OEMs can preconfigure the Windows Firewall. (Specifically, it

Nah, I'm not that bothered.
It *is* kinda interesting that this file should just be randomly
floating around though when it says it's supposed to be "confidential".
I'm not sure why configuring a firewall should be confidential, but hey,
that's what it says... ;-)

Figures. Some people round here will happily sign anything you push at
them. :-P

Think about it... If everyone knew how Dell and HP and others
preconfigured the windows firewall, there'd be 74325694256942769824698
sploits in the wild already circumventing those default rules.
