Why not just get some content filtering technology in place to filter internet radio since we don't exactly control the rest of the world. We can get the software from China.
Its to bad because the best internet radio stations that I know of are on www.shoutcast.com and ran by AOL. Who ever thought anything good would come out of AOL, and the RIAA squashes it.
I guess I'll have to use P2P networks again to listen to music off of the internet.
It looks like this person is being scapegoated. Lets concentrate on the fact that it was the school that was negligent in having the license expire on there content filtering software. Even if she was viewing porn and got spyware installed on her computer it looks like she already asked for help in getting it removed and was denied. The school was negligent in letting its content filtering expire and in preventing popups on a teachers workstation causing students to see the dirty. Why is the school not on trial? Answer: Because she is.
Why not be as harsh as possible and burn her at the stake along with all the rest of our teachers and all the books in the library?
I am surprised that nobody here has stated the obvious about how the guy could have gone about getting the drivers for his raid controller.
He could have done the following:
1) Downloaded them off of the internet. 2) He could have used his laptop to make the floppy from the CD. I assume he must have had a laptop if he was doing this stuff once a week. At the very least he could have used another computer. 3) Attempted to extract the drivers from whatever compressed file they resided in on the CD.
He would not have had to re-install windows, all he had to do was install the raid controller, and install the drivers for it, and continue booting from XP on the old drive, thats of course assuming there was room for it.
10 reboots to figure out how to get into the raid controller bios pretty much sums it up. I wonder how many reboots it took to figure out how to get into the system bios.
