"They made touch tablets back in the early 2000s that ran x86 chips that never got off the ground either."
They made x86 tablets back in 1995, I had one. it has a 486sx processor and ran windows for workgroups with pen computing extension. dauphin DTR-1 was the very first tablet.
Then why dont you have one now? I have been running windows OS tablets for well over 15 years. Or do you not know enough about the Microsoft Ecosystem that they have been available for a very long time now.
Yup. If you wire money all you need is the confirmation number to get the money at the other end. Money laundering through Western Union is brain dead easy, you can even automate it in small amounts under $500.00 so that it does not trigger any fed flags.
If you have a limited knowlege to how the internet and TCP/IP works? yes.
If you actually know what is going on? nope.
All VPN traffic is blocked here at work, yet I can VPN home easily... Why? I use an Https system. My initial connection looks like a https request, then the encrypted data flows.... Just like a real https connection.
It was trivial for me to do this to circumvent the idiots in IT, and I'm a n00b at this stuff compared to some of the guys out there. Anything you can think of already has a circumvention in place and ready to go.
the ONLY way to stop a darknet is to have whitelisted ip addresses only. Only approved servers on the internet allowed, your home connections are all firewalled for consumption only.
"Ummm, don't run an exit Tor node if you aren't prepared to be sued for distributing child porn?"
How about not running an Exit node raw onto the internet. Honestly, you can run one safely. You have the exit node behind a firewall that filters out most nefarious crap.
Problem is TOR is not used for it's intended purpose... to let persecuted people in far away lands access to our yummy yummy freedom. It's mostly for Kiddie porn and Warez.
" He knew what he was doing, and the consequences. "
I highly doubt that. He was a fucking moron for talking to a known Government informant weazle. if he "knew what he was doing" he would have kept his mouth shut, Instead of bragging.
Mostly because you want a crap toy and not a real tool. If you make money on your laptop, you buy the good stuff. It's why I have and XPS and a macbook.
There is a lot of money for you. Lower pay for administration. your principal does not need to make 6 figures. Oh and the Coach does not need to make high 5 figures. (Typically PE teachers make more than the Science teachers)
Problem is most manufacturers are idiots and change models every 15 days. a stock image you make today will not work on the next batch of laptops you get.
Second School administrators are idiots. they dont buy Business class, they buy as cheap as possible and as random as possible. So yu get craptastic Compaq laptops bought 5 at a time over the summer. now you have 30 different models and revisions. No chance in hell to make a standard image. You have to make a OEM disk that will re install everything clean using scripting, something that is WAY outside the capabilities of a typical IT staff member.
As long as they had a decent server setup for roaming profiles and everything was configured right so that files went to and were backed up to the server whenever the machines were on the network.. Take laptop, insert reinstall disk press go. then simply log in as that user and wait while everything migrates back to the laptop.
I'm betting they had none of this in place and every machine was running how it was when the box was opened from the store.
Why? most quality servers dont need a floppy for Bios upgrades. maybe some of the off brand crap does, but I havent had to use a floppy for Bios upgrades for well over 4 years now.
for bashing in the head of the CTO when he steps into the server room to show that he "knows" computer and servers and stuff? Both times we had catastrophic failures, that idiot was in the server room poking around at things.
Your best tool is to HIDE the room so that the incompetent people, like managers and executives, cant find it.

Why are you waiting? go to newegg and buy one http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100013681%2050001301&IsNodeId=1&name=Fujitsu Here is a buttload for you to choose from.
ASUS and Fujitsu both sell tablets in that price range that run windows and linux that have a 4 hour battery life.
Epic freaking fail Microsoft! These things are no different than the tablet I could buy 4 years ago.

You need to set up a fake alias and buy the server and pay for it with your fake alias. make sure it does not point at you in any real way.
Step 1 get a fake ID for an address that you have never lived at.
Step 2 get a credit card for that alias.
Step 3 Profit!
It's 100% illegal, but if you do it carefully, when the server is raided, there is no direct trace back at you.
"You also know a lot of stupid people are lobbying any gov against anything remotely related to the children or ben laden."
Holy crap... now his half brother Ben is hated across the globe? What is wrong with the Laden family?
nothing at all, that is exactly what I do to circumvent It departments.

Load balanced across the 40 unconfigured routers all named "linksys" I can see from here will work nicely.
Helping. we are Helping the middle east.

Dude it's military, they can have him shot. They dont have to play by the rules of civillian life.
I want HP to reissue the HP-16C Most of us real programmers could use a proper multi number base calculator that is designed for CS and Digital EE.
Mostly because you want a crap toy and not a real tool. If you make money on your laptop, you buy the good stuff. It's why I have and XPS and a macbook.
It's more expensive than a Macbook of the same specs.
If we talk about a macbook, we have to compare it to the $299 Crap special. but if it is anything else, well that is different.
honestly, buy a macbook and install Ubuntu. you will have a better device.
Limiting education is a good thing. Otherwise all students need to be issued handguns and chainsaws. Not doing so is limiting their education.

I think you need to buy a small porcelain penguin and put it on the telly in the server room.
SOG is even better than that. plus you can buy the one with the blasting cap crimper.
a 9mm does just fine on hard drives. pumping 5 rounds into it gangsta style is far more enjoyable than even two rounds out of a 45ACP into it.
My favorite is a 7.62 from 500 yards.
