Time to flee the coming freeze in Britian?

I can't even download acrobat reader without IT supports consent. Bloody IT, pain in the ass. ::):

easy tiger....


I'm in IT...
I have had to circumvent our systems to get on the chat room..

You may even be in the same building as me,,

Did you say you were in IT or the CIA Craig? Circumventing systems! i dunno....

websense would throw a hissy fit if I were to come on here through the "proper channels" :icon_wink:

You ain't seen me.. Right!!??

well we've all got a lovely programn called kaseya installed on our computer, enabling it to look at EVERYTHING we do on our pcs and to dial into it without us having to accept connection. Its like freakin big brother.

Control panel >> Add / Remove Programs >> Kaseya - Remove

lol..yes that would sort it..

but the next website you would be visiting after that would be
http://www.jobserve.co.uk

or if you're lucky

http://www.seek.co.nz

hehe are you suggesting I have access to control panel ih eh!!!! We can change our desktop thats it? And they're trying to stop that so we can all have uniform KINGSPAN desktop. W with a device for mooring boats for sure. :icon_evil:

Oh, you must have one of those 'roaming profile' network setup jobbies. In that case I suggest you locate the server and router, and pull the main network cable from the server to the router out, or preferable stick a pin through the cable. IT will be looking at it for ages!

It wont help your spying problems, but it would be great entertainment!

:icon_surprised: I thought the coffee shop was set up to allow general chit-chat, not to plan the sabotage of every IT department in the country......

So, for all you computer know-it-alls out there, here's a joke:

A help desk employee (and this is only giving you the jist of the conversation)
answered a call from a woman who said her screen had gone blank. After all
the usual questions and having exhausted all venues he knew, he finally got
the information from the woman he needed. She said it was too dark to see
and he said put a light on, she said she couldn't, the power supply had been
cut. He told her to pack up the stuff in the boxes and take it all back, she
asked what she should tell the shop, he said tell them you are too stupid to
use a computer. Not a fable - this was a court case in the states when the
techie sued for wrongful dismissal.
