I got a new computer at work today that has been uber big-brothered. I cannot install programs on it without IT doing so on my behalf. I wouldn't be surprised if they keylog. This is what happens when you work at a hospital, and HIPAA fines can demolish the institution. As a researcher, I never have any patient data, but that doesn't matter to our lawyers, or IT. When they came to take away my old XP computer, they were dissatisfied to see that I had partitioned my harddrive. That is something that I no longer can do. I can't help but see this as a hostile act, and it has forever soured my opinion of the institution, and made clear their opinion of me. Also, someone took my stapler.
