Did you miss the "help" part? If there is a need to get it onto the network then it will get on the network.
Joe Developer needs to build in time to his project for technical setup and issues if the infrastructure isn't already available to do what needs done, but IT doesn't know what needs to be done until they are made aware of it. They need to have some time to create the correct environment for that requirement to work correctly.
Bringing in a wifi router and hooking it up to your network jack is not the answer either,
Creating solid policies that protect the network and the company from intrusion of just plain failing should always come before Joe sixpack employee hooking his iPad to the network.
It will often take some time to make sure that adverse affects will occur, or to sure up infrastructure. But very few IT people are gods on high, they want to help.
Why would his entertainment spending increase? We went from buying two or three DVDs a month to buying two or three DVDs a year after we signed up for Netflix. We also started going to less movies in the theatre. Music did not go up, cable did not go up. So, instead of ~$30 on DVDs and $60 on movie tickets we went to $20 on movie tickets and $16 on Netflix, now $20 on Netflix.
yeah, install all the same software, make all the configuration changes on a new server that needs to keep the same IP as the one it's replacing. Simple!
Why didn't I think of that?
Oh yeah, for dozens of servers....

And a backup! Oh, and liner notes and pretty pictures. Try selling a used download at the local Half Price Books & Music.
What's a local record store? Even without download services, sites like AMazon, CDNow, Music Boulevard and their ilk were eating away at the local record store business.
When developers refuse to communicate with IT what they need, what can they expect? If you have requirements that's fine, talk with the support teams to make sure they know what you need and what you are doing, instead of looking like your machine got infected with malware and you are probing unusual ports on local and remote machines.
It's not IT's fault that your deadline is 5 minutes away and you need a service setup that takes 2 to 5 days to get done properly. It also isn't IT's fault that they have other tasks that need to be done ahead of yours.
How often are these decisions made by CTOs who are buddies with the CA guys? It happened with us and we are forced to use these crappy "solutions" because they cost so much.
Then you look at a developer who instead of contacting IT and asking for support, had admin access and changed the.net version of the app pool on their IIS instance from 2.x to 4.x Didn't know or care to look that other applications were running on that app pool and were 2.x (you can't run different.net versions on the same app pool, the service hangs)
They then open a service desk ticket stating that IIS is unresponsive, no mention they changed a fundamental setting.
Or those developers think they know more than the IT folk, who actually know what's going on beyond the scope of the developers limited view of the company and infrastructure.
What happens at home when it doesn't just work? If you or your family have clicked the wrong link and have infested your machine with malware? Setting up things in a way to minimise this as much as possible is best for all involved.
It's the developers that crash enterprise systems while doing development against the prod database because "The account is read only and won't do any harm". To generalise, developers do not care about hogging resources or security unless they are forced to because the deadline is only a couple of days away.

doesn't work with crashplan, either
I know six months ago openjdk did not work with crashplan and I had to set the jdk to sun.
So, what do you think the actual chances of scoring one are? Geeze, this is gonna be a free for all

That's what security does. It allows the workers to do work without their computers or data centres being disrupted by malicious software or people.
This wasn't prod, fortunately
how many are hooked into the internet running an os that gets attacked?

You just assume you're god. You're not. It happens to the best of us.
really? How does that work for all my machines, everywhere in the world? All my mobile devices?
It doesn't
That doesn't seem to address why dropbox is so handy though. My usage of dropbox is to sync all my computers and devices with the same set of files.

It takes as long as it takes is often the best guess when you're not in front of the machine knowing what the problem is.
Or those developers think they know more than the IT folk, who actually know what's going on beyond the scope of the developers limited view of the company and infrastructure.
No, the company generates the revenue that pays for IT jobs. You're not an island that only produces money and costs zero to support.
Development machines *should* be on a separate network, a network that has no access to the corporate network or data so the devs can't screw it up.
Work equipment is for the employee only. Why is that so hard to understand? Buy your wife a laptop if she wants to use one.
