Submission + - First few Doctor Who episodes may fall to public domain next year

wmr89502270 writes: Doctor Who is celebrating its 50th anniversery this year. The special The Day of The Doctor will be brocast simultaneously in over 75 countries and hundreds of cinemas in the UK and across the world also plan to screen the hotly anticipated special episode simultaneously in full 3D. Accroding to Copyright law of the United Kingdom, the copyright in a broadcast programme expires 50 years from the end of the year in which it is broadcast, which means the first episodes will fall to public domain next year.

Do Your Developers Have Local Admin Rights? 605

plover writes "I work as a developer for a Very Large American Corporation. We are not an IT company, but have a large IT organization that does a lot of internal development. In my area, we do Windows development, which includes writing and maintaining code for various services and executables. A few years ago the Info Security group removed local administrator rights from most accounts and machines, but our area was granted exceptions for developers. My question is: do other developers in other large companies have local admin rights to their development environment? If not, how do you handle tasks like debugging, testing installations, or installing updated development tools that aren't a part of the standard corporate workstation?"
