I find it interesting how the porn industry is constantly pushing the limits of technology to the point where they are the only true innovators in film and photography any more.
What's up with that?
All this talk about "having rights" is completely inane. If you're on a school computer or network (or work, or the library), you use it under their terms. Simple.
If their terms are they can block, snoop, etc and those terms are unacceptable, then don't use that network. Assume you're being watched and act accordingly.
I've really begun to appreciate our (USA) Constitution, particularly the Bill of Rights.
It occurs to me that it's basically impossible for an existing government like Australia's to adopt something like our Bill of Rights mid-stream. It takes the reset button of a revolution to get such reforms in place.
Like most Americans, whenever I think of Aussies I think of Crocodile Dundee or Steve Irwin: rugged, outdoorsy individualists. Australia has a history not unlike that of America's Old West: Guns, deserts, ranchers, rugged individuals with a no-nonsense can-do attitude.
What the hell? How did they end up under the thrall of their Auntie? Is this where the US is headed?
Just use scroogle.org or one of its clones. As long as their servers aren't based in Europistan, the whey-faced bureaucrats won't get ahold of your IP address.
Google will only see scroogle.org's server IP addresses and your IP will be purged in 48 hours.
The EFF article states that the parodies are "consistently funny". I found that after the first 2 or 3 parodies I basically couldn't watch them any more. Waste of time.
Well if that's the case, then they used VNC to view the desktop. No software install required. That capability is wired into Mac OS and very easy to enable.
The school wouldn't need back orifice since they had physical control of the computer to begin with. They could (and did) put whatever software they wanted on it and sent it on its way.
I assume you're trying to counter the so-called "poor man's background check." i.e. You apply for a job and the hiring manager or HR person googles your name looking for dirt.
Well, I've thought about this some as a theoretical exercise. How to remove or obscure negative content on the internet with your name attached?
I call it "extreme makeover: web edition"
First off, laying low on the internet is the wrong approach. The result of this is that negative content will be all anyone sees when they google your name.
You need to get proactive and start creating positive content (lots of it) with your name on it. The beauty of this is that none of this positive stuff has to be true. After all, who's to know if it's you or another person with the same name? The same logic applies to that negative information about you. Who's to say that's really you or someone else?
Message boards are a good place to start. Join all sorts of charitable boards using your real name. Even post some nice things (not necessary). The search engines routinely scan the major message boards and will pick up your user profile after a while. The list of content creation ideas goes on and on.
You'll never succeed in expunging the internet of that negative news with your name on it. BUT, you can permanently push that web turd to page 10 of the search results.
The "poor man's background check" I mentioned earlier is really pretty lame if you think about it. Anyone doing this is doing so knowing they'll potentially get lots of hits from people other than you. Yet they do it anyway. This is warfare and you need to counter this threat with your own offensive.
In other, completely unrelated, news; parents of "balloon boy" report pitching a new reality TV series where they go and investigate strange meteorite crash sites all around the world, while racing other contests and competing in silly challenges.
...and they travel to the meteorite sites in a baloon.

As long as teens have been driving cars, car accidents have been the leading cause of death among teenagers.
Hah! I said it first!
Ni! Ni!
Ni! Ni!

Assume the nuclear protection position: put your head between your knees and kiss your ass goodbye.
They're not being evil now, are they?

Yes, I'm one of those dicks who turns off his engine at red lights.
...Not with a bang
but a whimper.
And of course let's not forget the infamous Denver International Airport Baggage System fiasco.
Nothing like a good old-fashioned crossword puzzle to exercise the brain. Also, no pencil and eraser allowed. Pen only.

And it's way more interesting that Tiger Woods LOL.

I'm curious: what specific software did they choose to do this with? :)
Inquiring minds want to know.

It just is.
Ironically when Gmail and Google go down, I search Twitter to see if it's just me or if anyone else is experiencing it too.
And God I love Abby. ;-)
