Why our network admin sucks today
-
I had a row about security yesterday, my sneering of the word security in that instance put the quote from Melchett in my mind. I know how to fix something that keeps breaking in the testing we are doing at the moment, but am not allowed access. Those with the access are not capable of fixing it. This sort of thing happens a lot.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

No offence meant by my other post: it continues the quote, and shouldn't be taken to imply you are a drooling pervert! I realized after I posted that you might get the wrong idea if you don't know Blackadder Goees Forth... :-O
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together. Digital man: "You are, in short, an idiot with the IQ of an ant and the intellectual capacity of a hose pipe."
Blackadder: For God's sake, Baldrick, take cover! Baldrick: Why, sir? Blackadder: Because there's an air raid going on! And I don't want to have to write to your mother at London Zoo and tell her that her only human child is dead!

Because he has decided that "Right Clicking" on a desktop or webpage is too much of a security loophole and so he has disabled it in the System Policy. Subsequently it has broke a lot of my apps which has "Right click" menus! He has also decided that the Windows Key is a security risk? :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
Well, I would have to conclude that that particular network admin is an absolute moron who doesn't really understand what it is he is supposed to be supporting.
People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs

Why stop there, in fact the whole keyboard is security risk. I am sure a case can be made for the mouse, USB drives, optical drivers as well. They all need to be disabled. Why stop there, the network admin is the biggest security risk, he needs to be disabled too. ;P

Edmund: You see, Baldrick, in order to prevent war in Europe, two superblocs developed: us, the French and the Russians on one side, and the Germans and Austro-Hungary on the other. The idea was to have two vast opposing armies, each acting as the other's deterrent. That way there could never be a war. Baldrick: But this is a sort of a war, isn't it, sir? Edmund: Yes, that's right. You see, there was a tiny flaw in the plan. Baldrick: What was that, sir? Edmund: It was bollocks.

You mean like the network folks removing the server used for synching my offline files, but not allowing me to disable synchronization, so I get a popup every hour telling me the server is offline?
