I use to work in a company where the programmers have to manually go to a station with PC and dial up, and account for how much time they spent there if they want materials such as code, documentation and etc to complete a task. This is nonsense. I did not tolerate such BS and I didnt stick around for long. Internet access is necessary in our line of jobs, but we must have self discipline and control. Trying to babysit developers by cutting off the internet access and making them go to a station dedicated for it is ridiculous especially when there's not enough and everyone else needs to use it too. The key is discipline and professionalism in controlling your surfing habits at work. Eventually, as long as you get the job done on time, there really should not be any hindrance to internet access which could help improve your knowledge. We programmers need internet access and participations in some forums so we can gain knowledge and shared from others, and also to contribute in return.
