Let's just talk customer access. Basic stuff. For one customer, I use a Cisco AnyConnect. For another customer I use Cisco VPN Client. For another customer I use Juniper Junos Pulse. etc. All of these software packages require administrative access. Each customer maintains this, uses their own specific version of the software, etc. My company doesn't keep a catalog of every VPN client and every version of every VPN client because it's not feasible to keep that catalog or preload that catalog on everyone's machine.
Now, let's talk remote connectivity. Basic stuff again. GoToMeeting, GoToAssist, Skype, Bomgar, Lync, Livemeeting, etc. More software that requires administrative access. These can somewhat be preloaded, but not all of these are cloud managed, so you deal with versioning again, and for ones that are downloaded every time you execute, you need to be able to run them 100% of the time or every single conference call requires administrative override.
Now, let's talk about what happens when I go onsite with a customer. This customer requires reports written in JETT, this customer requires reports written in CR11.5, this one in CR9, this one uses an Access database, this one uses Sybase SQLAnywhere 9, this one uses Reality/PICK, etc etc etc. All of these require different tools to connect, write reports, etc.
I don't control what my customers do, I make my employer's software run in their environment. Some customers may use the same software, some don't. A lot of the time I'm not even scheduled to be somewhere until the Friday before the Monday they expect me to be onsite on Monday, so it's not like I can pull a customer folder and say "here IT guy, install all this for me, I hope it's up to date from the last time we were there 2 years ago, but probably not".
I'm not a network engineer. I'm an industry grunt implementation consultant who gets stuck doing everything for a customer because the customer can't figure out why our software won't print or why this one workstation doesn't communicate with the server etc etc. I AM an end user. My employer has tens of thousands of us. We're all end users. Like I said, other than desk jockeys
A good support staff of *nix personnel costs a lot more than a good support staff of Windows personnel. And holding on to that staff is even harder. It's not just about dollar cost, it's about productivity cost. *nix admins are not plug and play like Windows admins are. You lose one of those admins and you're waiting months rather than days to find a candidate you consider qualified, and God forbid something bad happens in the meantime.
I work for a massive multinational. The vast majority of our end users have admin access because it is necessary. Otherwise we'd have more IT personnel than consultants, analysts, and customer support staff. And that costs more than reformatting a computer that someone fucked up.
My customers pay to have me on site, by the hour, including my travel costs, my per diem, etc. I work for a massive multinational. Often, I need access to tools that I do not have preinstalled on my machine. Because I have admin access, I don't need you following me around as my lackey installing all of the random shit I need when I need it. If I did, I'd be wasting my customer's time, money, etc because it would take days for you to process through your queue to find and install the software I need and then I'd have to charge them extra for the extra time I'm spending on site, and then I'm going to the Director of IT and the Director of Implementation and letting them know that this cost overrun is coming out of the IT budget because I was not provided with the tools I needed on a timely basis and the customer is disputing the charges. Multiply this by a thousand people with a few thousand projects and you're broke rather quickly.
Eh, other than your basic phone answering desk jockeys, most corporate strategies give a good deal of rights to the end users, or at least give them VMs where they have complete administrative access. There are not enough IT people around to deal with all of the requests. If I need to install Wireshark to troubleshoot a server/client issue when I'm site with a customer I don't have time to wait for IT to remote into my machine and install the "approved" software for the purpose.
You're not wrong. IT does not dictate this. IT provides solutions to the requirements of the end users. Now, those requirements could be met in linux, but that's a different story.
One item you excluded is that "physical force" does *not* included deadly force. Deadly force is defined in 503.010 (1), and is distinct and separate from 503.010 (4) which defines physical force.
Except there can't be deadly force executed on something that can't be killed. I bet the courts will ultimately rule that the drone is a person by proxy in this regard. These are monumental violations of private property and privacy. I don't know if Kentucky has recording consent laws, but in many states you cannot be recorded in a place of expected privacy without explicit permission from both parties.
KRS 503.080
Protection of property
(1) The use of physical force by a defendant upon another person is justifiable when the defendant believes that such force is immediately necessary to prevent: (a) The commission of criminal trespass, robbery, burglary, or other felony involving the use of force, or under those circumstances permitted pursuant to KRS 503.055, in a dwelling, building or upon real property in his possession or in the possession of another person for whose protection he acts
KRS 503.085
Justification and criminal and civil immunity for use of permitted force –Exceptions
(1) A person who uses force as permitted in KRS 503.050, 503.055, 503.070, and 503.080 is justified in using such force and is immune from criminal prosecution and civil action for the use of such force, unless the person against whom the force was used is a peace officer, as defined in KRS 446.010, who was acting in the performance of his or her official duties and the officer identified himself or herself in accordance with any applicable law, or the person using force knew or reasonably should have known that the person was a peace officer. As used in this subsection, the term "criminal prosecution" includes arresting,
detaining in custody, and charging or prosecuting the defendant.
Asking people to comply is a dumb policy and doesn't work. It's the facility's responsibility to maintain security. At the Pentagon, for instance, you can barely get a cell signal once you're in the walls because the building materials block the signals. There are a few spots where you can get a reliable signal, but for the most part if you're not by a window(and there aren't many), you're basically not getting access. On top of that rather natural effect, they sweep for broadcast wifi signals and such and you're required to turn in electronics when you walk into certain secure areas(and they will check you in those areas).
It's a first generation multirole stealth fighter(the F-117 is not a fighter and the F-22 is not multirole). The F-4(again, a first generation multirole fighter) was a boondoggle when it first released as well, and took many many variants to get right. The lessons learned on the F-4 turned directly into the F-14, F-15, F-16, and F/A-18.
Base housing? What? Do you think this is 1990? The armed forces have largely unloaded their base housing holdings. The government would rather hand out a stipend than maintain that property

So why didn't you train them on it? You change their world and you're responsible for educating them

Spend less on licensing, spend way more on IT, training, custom programming, etc.

Yea, just don't fly into a storm in an Airbus and you'll be fine.
So, no more SD slot, no Note Edge, and no removable battery.. This seems like a downgrade
If only I had more +1 Informative's to give

Well, Hydra could certainly use a little more jpeg.
The F doesn't mean shit. It's a ground attack fighter. No air to air capabilities
You can see their expenditures tied to recycling

Well, same thing with licensed software. You choose to disobey whatever scheme they're using.
