You seem to be misunderstanding probability. The chances of any 1 failing are higher. But the chances of them all are failing are less. Or in the case of RAID 5, enough failing to be catastrophic.
Well Air Force One is suppose to be the ultimate warfare command center in the sky. Able to control the whole of the US armed forces and override any media coverage if needed. I think flares are just the tip of the ice berg so to speak.
People who like an empty fresh non used database install to chew 1.5GB of RAM before doing anything.
And it takes turning off about 5 services to stop it starting. And that's what happens when one installs vs2008.
So I couldn't exchange precious priceless necessary supplies that are seriously lacking, for guns and ammo?
After all, it's pretty much what the US/UK armed forces do in iraq and Afghanistan. The price of rice is higher than the price of an AK-47 in those regions.
The kind of kid we are talking about here probably knows more about things like net etiquette rules than any of his teachers. He is just being penalized by a dumb intelligence filter software and parental control rules. In the real world, rules are decided by an intelligent judge/jury not a computer program which can't even start to understand it. And going further and saying it's the cracking of the system, I'm afraid the damage is already done. Throwing fines at his/her parents or worse young offenders institutes and community service has just in effect limited the person even further in their true potential.
Kicking out the kid who wants to write his own little game is not going to help the issue. He'll probably learn about as much in the process as the school can teach him during all the years of compulsory education.
Game programmers probably get payed a more than most school IT admin staff and often touching the senior management team (vice principal) rates after a few rises.
Yeah, it was a bloody check where they basically said any executable binaries in the user area were "games". I mean, I hid lots of shit on the C drives of most these machines...
Lucky bastard, they banned me for a week for having a "game" on the system called putty. Oh, and before that I got banned for a week for loading all the toolbars in word and crashing the computer in lesson, however I had set word to do it on my net profile weeks before. Idiots.
And the budding coder that is doing most his/her classes just because they are compulsory will be annoyed after about 1 minute when they can't access the terminal. Same with that you 3D graphics artist when he/she can't install their favourite 3D model editor.
Those that are going to use it non constructively will always do so. Those that are going to use it constructively will always do so, and will just get seriously pissed off with restrictions not allowing it.
You don't seem to take into account that by your logic, computers shouldn't be available to the general public at all. Who can we assume is able to only install software that is Malware free or visit such sites. Now and then information security experts get their own computers accidentally infected.
I would agree, however it was likely not considered because they didn't know it would ever be a problem. Also the fact you can do this assignment in the official in game keybind changer... no mouse to keyboard driver mapping required, it even says "srollup" when you do it. It is impossible to take into account every possible hardware combination when making a PC game, as with a console this isn't a hassle as the hardware is locked.

I do my google searching through the address bar often too. Only if the I'm feeling lucky fails to give me something useful do I deliberately use the search box. And the great thing is, if there is no clear pagerank leader for search term, it drops to search results anyway.
All the flexibility causes problems.
My brother and I both have mice which have a flywheel scrollwheel (is very useful for reading slashdot;) ). He decided he would try to assign the scroll to shoot in CoD4, got immediate server ban when he emptied a semi-auto sniper rifle into the server admin's head in game in a matter of seconds. Would you count it as cheating or using the resources in front of you, this stuff is deliberately not possible on a console. Personally I'll stick to PC though. Means I can have IM and IRC up at the same time.
As for emulating these devices, you don't think the first code run tests by devs is always on the device do you? I mean xbox360 code can be compiled for an x86 based processor (it's mostly directx).
As Sun gets closer and closer to releasing openjdk based java7 we are getting closer and closer to full 64bit java support.
Actually, it's just a few small sections of java (javafx and 3d apis) that aren't on 64bit yet. The whole computer science department at the university I attend is already doing all development on official machines on 64bit openjdk build.
Given the primary reason of any Educational establishment is to help its students develop the skills required for industry and to help their entrance into industry (in whatever field) they are not doing their job correctly by not helping him.
Also who said he used the provided resources to actually create the game, not just what he learned in lectures, class, lab... Often work is done in my free time on my own computers here (I'm a computer science student).

So no typing notes in class? Ask uni students whether they now type notes in lectures, you'll find quite a large percentage do.

So I can't load any live linux distro, mount the drives and edit /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow to get full root access?

You can pause it for a time, but you can't turn it off completely.
Yeah, don't accidentally install windows search 4.0 from automatic updates, it doesn't allow you to turn it off.

Well, isn't youtube owned by google now??? ;)

So have you even seen multiwinia before? And savage2 is very interesting, having first person shooter, third person RPG and rts play.
