    More banned sites

    I tried to download a new version of Flash, for a trainign course. Access was refused because the site fell into the classification of.....
    "Information Technology".

    We wouldn't want any of that stuff around here, would we?

    Nope it means you need a grown up to install it for you. Probably find they are about to lock down the PC's even more.

      Make's sense to me, why would you let users install something like flash on their own and risk legacy applications not working rather than having a controlled release of new software after regression testing?

        WSMS.

        I have had some vicious fights in the past with folks who expected me to install the latest version of various bits of software on a corporate PC.

        They might have thought I was an idiot but they didn't win.

          You mean despite their best efforts you're still an idiot?

              Next time I'm gonna wander around with my Mac and ask if this is a BYOD site.

              Then see how long I last.

                My new work this site (contractoruk forum) is banned ... so is jobserve... reason is that is a job search site ...
                Really annoyed me, I wouldn't mind them banning jobserve and the main contractor uk site, but why the forum (suppose it has links to the jobsearch too) thing is they are not banning linked in or job search within it !!

                  I took my Mac in a couple of years ago and could happily work when the rest were down with some problem or other.

                  I could print to any printer there, and earned myself a quite few beers doing that for others

                    I used my Mac on my last gig, only one thing that didn't work and that was VMWare Client but I have a Windows VM on the machine for any dev work so used that
