Do Your Developers Have Local Admin Rights?
plover writes "I work as a developer for a Very Large American Corporation. We are not an IT company, but have a large IT organization that does a lot of internal development. In my area, we do Windows development, which includes writing and maintaining code for various services and executables. A few years ago the Info Security group removed local administrator rights from most accounts and machines, but our area was granted exceptions for developers. My question is: do other developers in other large companies have local admin rights to their development environment? If not, how do you handle tasks like debugging, testing installations, or installing updated development tools that aren't a part of the standard corporate workstation?"
That depends. If they use Windows, they are niggers. Niggers need admin rights to do much of anything. If they are fine white folk, then no, they can do everything as a normal Unix user.
Hello friends, I'm in a bit of a bind here. You see, I have a problem with my...well, with my penis! Yes, I am slightly embarrassed to admit this, but I figure that my friends at Slashdot will be able to help me. At any rate, the problem with my penis is that every so often it gets longer and feels rigid to the touch. And, when I do touch it in this state, I get a strange, yet pleasurable, sensation. I've asked coworkers and friends about this, and they have not been able to help me. They usually giggle or laugh and say I need a cock sucker. I'm not sure what that means, and whenever I ask for clarification on cock sucker, I get sarcastic responses. So, my Slashdot friends, is there something wrong with me? Why does my penis get this way? Does anybody have a similar experience?
I had a similar problem but with an occasional mucus-like discharge. I finally saw a doctor about it. Turns out I had penis cancer and they needed to remove my entire penis. I can't piss standing up anymore, but otherwise it's not that bad.
The fact that Windows systems require programmers to need admin rights is utterly broken. It's the cause for so many non multiuser capable programs still being made.
It is becasue you are gay. My suggestion is to buy a Mac as soon as possible, and try to look smug and self-righteous all of the time.
Other than making developers less productive, but hey it's not like they matter at all so its ok, right?
I won't argue my point I think its pretty clear. I'm a developer and I wouldn't work on a machine where I didn't have admin rights, unless there were a really good reason to do so.
