Yes, lock it down so tight that I cannot do my job.
Like that Saturday morning we shutdown a number of production systems for a firmware upgrade, I met the vendor's technician & escorted him to the system in the Data Center, he pulled out his USB drive and inserted it into the (locked-down) USB port...
Wasted Saturday morning for the half-dozen guys onsite, another couple of managers standing-by and a bunch of users waiting to vaildate the systems after they were brought back up .
Oh yeah, they had just put in this change, but it wouldn't affect us so we weren't notified.
I LOVE working with those guys!

Many of us work in environments where this kind of security is a necessary reality.
And let's face it, *all* of us working in IT have met Mordac. He's the network admin who, in response to the complaint that the procurement folks can't reach product catalogs through the corporate Internet connection, replies "well, maybe they should use paper catalogs instead". He's the university system admin who could run the academic systems *perfectly* if it weren't for those darn students.
There is a triumvirate of forces that will always maintain an uneasy truce: reliability, security, usability. The tension between them makes for some funny.

Some take this WAY TO SERIOUS.... Now I HATE this Mordac character. All it does is just tick me off with the whole IR evil crud. It works for Catbert but not this character. Why Scott Adams even thought it was a good idea is beyond me.
