Whenever I try to use any, I get blocked for anywhere from 15 minutes to a day. I have to make sure I close everything on my laptop or I have to get someone else to log in for me. I find the Ubuntu Repos the worst, because in their "Acceptable Use of Technology Agreement" they say we have to keep our computers up to date.
@ktweed have you tried talking to the IT department about it?
@ktweed it sounds like you could make a good argument for it. Might even be an opportunity to network with people!
