I don't live anywhere near a startup "area", but has anyone actually seen an internet cafe that isn't locked with over protective software?

- JohnTHaller 12y agoThere are quite a few. It basically varies with the type and size of internet cafe. Large commercial internet cafes with dozens of machines that only do internet will often be locked down and reset the PC after each user. Many will have software prohibiting just about everything. Some will not. Smaller places like copy and photo shops that have a dozen machines or coffee shops with several machines will often have machines that allow portable software use.
- kbenson 12y agoI'm less worried about the computers at an internet cafe being locked down with overprotective software than I am that the aforementioned overprotective software, if it exists, will probably do very little to keep out actual nefarious software which would just love to have access to lots of USB keys.
