You are pretty much right.

However, while earlier versions used only web browser User-Agent checks, recent CCA Server software uses TCP/IP fingerprinting techniques to be more or less impervious to simple browser-based bypasses; though any emulated OSes that can gain network access are sufficient, or the software that I pointed out (which changes Windows TCP/IP settings, uses OpenSSL, and spoofs a browser).

I've talked about much of this before on my own web page, as my university (UC Irvine) has installed the Cisco product, I (and others) have spoken out against it, and have been accused of policy violations under similar "rules". Of course three graduate students in three different computer science disciplines (different department chairs) have a better chance against a (clueless) administrator than the undergrad listed in this story. Joe Feise talks about this: http://www.feise.com/~jfeise/blogs/ As do I on my blog: http://chouyu-31.livejournal.com/243263.html and on a web page devoted to this kind of bullshit: https://nerp.net/~jcarlson/cca_.html

If the kid would have gone to a UC, he would be able to submit a public records act request for records of every email sent between those that were working on his case. He could verify his suspicions that the people who ultimately decided were overly influenced by the admin, etc. Of course, had they spoken with him before throwing the book at him, they may have been able to get their desired result (the student not using or distributing the software) without needing to suspend him and put his university funding in jeopardy.

In either case though the quickest way may be to go with an X10 setup (yes, THOSE guys).

Hmm... sounds like you do want to spy on the neighbor's teenage daughter? (Specifically, see exhibit F; sick, but funny. However, Exhibit E is also pretty incongruous, if not ropey; WTF is that girl doing in the kids' room?)

There was no woodgrain on it. Check The Bill Cosby TI-99/4A gallery and you'll see several examples.

Beautiful shades of silver though.

The 5.25 drive bays would be perfect for a CD-ROM, providedyou don't mind it sideways. Back in the way, it used the same floppy drives as IBM compatibles.

Don't you remember?
They were bought out by Home Computer Magazine!

I remember how dorky the "k-power" kids' advisory team was... but I also remember typing my application on my TRS-80 Model I (my TI-99/4a didn't have a parallel adapter) and printing it on my daisy wheel printer, too.

Enjoy.

here at the Geek Haus, we have several racks, including a nice looking IBM rack for our entertainment center:

Server racks
Entertainment Racks

There are a couple other racks, the central router rack, with cablemodem, cisco routers for internal subnets, and a vlan switch for remote management.
and another server rack next to the main NOC rack for a couple of servers, and a small clarion raid array.. (just don't ask what our power bills are like.. yikes)

Here in minnesota, our north-suburban GeekHaus is fully equiped with the latest (and also non-lastest) gear.

IBM netfinity rack (4' tall)
Yamaha 995a (awsome reciver)
Apex 600a (the new "fixed one" :(
POS 4head VCR (panasonic i think)
Pioneer vintage LaserDisk player
PPro200 for mp3/xterm serving.
NCD xterminal for surfing/irc/mail/xmms
Philco 27" ultra-crusty tube.
American flag (gota have one)
20hour TiVo (soon to be upgraded)
Difinative Biploar speakers, all around
Klipsch 12" sub

as far as audio goes.. the combination of definiative bipolars (bp8's, matching center/rear), the klipsch, and the Yamaha 995a is close to perfect for a system costing only $3000 all the speakers match up, providing good surround panning, (ill matching speakers can make for wierd pans from front/back/left/right) and the bipolars make for excelent room-filling music for when guests are over. the BP8's also have a beautiful piano key black laqur finish, which if you keep shiny with murphy's oil soap, really show their class.
here's a pic of the place, a while ago..
here we have since then replaced the futon with a loveseat matching the nice couch on the left and a new 36" TV is on it's way to replace the poor tired old philco (which works amazingly well for a 15 year old TV :)
yes.. geeks actualy live here :)
