While I totally agree with you regarding the segregation. A lot of times, the worst offenders especially in smaller companies, is the management. People above a certain level feel like they should be able to watch/share their YouTube videos with their coworkers.
I've been in all three positions
1. The floor rep who just goes to work, has NO internet aside from work related tasks, does their job, and goes home. Everyone expected to have no internet, everyone was fine.
2. The lowest level of upper echelon management. Everyone expected to have internet, facebook, online banking, etc.
3. The tech. I've been the one telling the management staff that they can't have facebook because there's no freaking reason to have it. 90% of the time, if they can get the owner/CEO/VP or whatever on their side, they win. Casting aside all security concerns in their wake.
So again, I totally agree with you but the people who get to finally decide are really the ones that matter.

After all, that's how Eli got on the Destiny.
Exactly what I was thinking. Here's hoping Star Trek Online is really waiting for me to solve some... problem that... damn
