There is NO need for a cell phone in a K-12 classroom. Especially when you consider that every classroom HAS a phone in it! NONE!
Pretty sure my school did not have a single phone in any classroom. The only phones in the K-6 building were in the offices and maybe the kitchen and teachers lounge. Same goes for the 7-12 building but there was one phone out in a hallway by the office. (And I live in Iowa.) Either way there's no need for the cell phones in the classroom. I only had one senior year of high school because of taking college courses that I had to drive to another town for, even then it stayed in my locker until I was headed out of the building..
Seeing as how they found out from the FCC that such a plan would in fact be illegal they've given up on the idea: http://www.kcci.com/news/20237550/detail.html
The priorities of the schools here are just insane.. first the Des Moines schools decide to become the Internet Police of their students both in and out of school, now this..
That's entirely possible. I just looked again before I posted to check but I don't check to see what the current version is regularly to know what the page looks like all the time.
I'm not entirely impressed with the fact that I apparently can't uninstall iTunes from my college-issue computer without losing use of my DVD drive. Whether this is the fault of Apple or M$ I have not yet sorted out.
The only reason I have iTunes installed is because I couldn't find a Quicktime download that didn't come with it.
Apparently you didnt look very hard because right on the QuickTime download page is "Quicktime with iTunes for Windows XP or Vista" with "Quicktime for Windows XP or Vista" right below it (the latter NOT including iTunes).
Facebook & MySpace are private systems. They have the right to say what is put on their system same as other sites. If you didnt like it you could go post it on your own site somewhere else. Its not like cheap web hosting is hard to find.
Flash crashes on Windows and you expect the Linux version to work? Give me a break.
As to the rest of the discussion, I don't mind Flash being used for video playback (ie YouTube), but requiring Flash to view the whole site is just plain dumb. Good way to alienate customers who don't live in places with broadband which contrary to what the FCC says is a rather large area.
It *is* Microsoft being Microsoft. Since when has any Microsoft site worked identically in a non-IE browser to how it works in IE? Take Exchange 2003. Outlook Web Access does not work the same in Firefox as it does in IE. (Can't speak for Exchange 2007 as I've only had limited experience with it, and in a non-production setting at that.)
Im not so sure about the servers moving, sounds more like mainly money (and maybe people..?). From TFA: "SUP has launched an American company, LiveJournal, Inc., to manage and operate LiveJournal globally." Note the word American in that sentence.
This was a class-action lawsuit not a state antitrust case. The only thing the State of Iowa had to do with it was that it was in the Iowa court system.

Redundant much? I fail to see how anything that does the EXACT SAME THING is any better?
-1 Troll. How am I supposed to get "turn off guide" from that?
Mod parent -1 redundant.
Mod -1 Fail.
Does not matter if I give them an IP address or not when as far as I can find there is NO option to disable the hijacking.
Everything that I've seen on the OpenDNS website is to the contrary, (and I have an account.) Care to share the secret?
OpenDNS is not a solution. They do the same thing.

Thats funny.. I still have one. And it talks!
I concur. I believe the one we used for when we did a LAN Party in college covered that, I don't remember what else it covered however.

Maybe something that wasn't supposed to be made public?
The blog entry the story links to does not exist. Not Found: Forum Not Found The forum you requested does not exist.

I didn't RTFA but didn't they do the same thing on "The District"?

I agree. This is government cluelessness at its finest.
Maybe its referring to the appeal filed by Spamhaus on the 13th. I wasn't aware of one until I saw the article about the case on Groklaw.
Anyone notice that the case is referred to as Spamhaus v e360Insight on their main page? Kinda implies that they're the victim.
