alt Hacker NewsNot really new. A long time ago I had to wait 2 months to have access to a shared folder on a development server.

Almost instantly, compared to my experience working for a big health care provider... I waited 6 moths for IT department to allow me install development tools on work laptop.
And while security rules created enormous roadblocks for work, whey also left enough holes to be exploited. Before getting required permissions, I managed to create dual boot with linux and share files between 'approved' and 'illegal' systems
