>Our code base is locked down on development machines. Our machines are locked down also. There is no usb access, no cd's/dvd's, no outgoing email with attachments, no access to im, chats, blogs or web-based mail sites. No https access to anything, etc. They are afraid of the codebase being transferred off site by someone who may have an axe to grind or someone who has been paid for the code, etc.
Basically, is there anything you are allowed to do there? :)
Do they allow you to have lunch breaks? :)
