I do casual-on-call work at a high school in south-west Sydney. The whole IT part of it is a mess. (Doesn't help that head of computer studies has taken leave and no one has replaced her)
For a start, the students are vandals, every thing they touch they break, there is a whole box full of ball-less mice and keyboards with keys missing.
The 2 PC labs and 1 Mac labs are used for other subjects besides computer studies(i think this is where most of the breakage is coming from) The 2 PC labs were just networked last year, but I don't think that is working properly. The mac lab will never be networked to the main network, at the moment it uses apple talk(it works when the students don't touch it)
The main server is in the library, where the library teacher knows nothing, he has already screwed one SCSI drive.
I think one of the problems is from mixing old with the new. Previously there was just the office network and the library network, then these were joined together, then staff rooms added, and then the computer rooms. There is PVC piping everywhere with cable going back and forth.
Also there are to many chiefs and not enough indians. Head science, Head Maths and Head Industrial Arts all go off on there own and run their own little networks in their staff rooms and they all try to control the larger network and add to it in there own little ways.
The only computers that have internet access are the libary computers, staff rooms that I mentioned above and the office computers, all sucking off a single ISDN which is painfull slow.
Of course this is a public school I'm talking about and I can imagine many other schools in a similar situation. Perhaps we should get these computers working first before we start worrying about filtering and crap.
Thats all well and good. But these measurements mean nothing to me since they are in imperial. Most of the world uses metric, most science projects use metric. Why not this?
But the Star Trek timeline and our timeline splits off in the 1960s. So in Star Trek she did go to the other side of the Galaxy. Just like Star Trek had the Eugenic Wars in the 90s and sleeper ships, we had other little wars and space shuttles.
Actually the pickup truck came from the Australian Utility.
It was an Aussie idea by a woman who sent a letter to a car company: "A car that can be used normally on weekdays and that can be used to transport pigs to market on sundays" or something like that.
Jupiter is a gas giant and as far as we know we can not land on it (Unless it really does have a solid core). So by your reasoning Jupiter is not a planet.

But there has never been a true communist goverenment, every govenment that has been called communist is just some screwed up version of it.
Communism might work one day. But it won't for a very long time.
...But I want to see the action.

It's usually the broadband users clogging up servers with half a dozen downloads at once.
Most 56k people are happy to download one single large file and let it go over night.
Someone gets to read my spam. Maybe they will have better luck making their dick 4 inches longer than I did.

I find that only 6 sites were complained against. I'm think that only 6 sites were shutdown after hundereds or thousands of complaints.
...Must come down. And it already has. I just heard on the evening news that it was brought down by remote control after it developed a leak.

But most countries are not islands. Thats why Australia is refered to as the worlds largest island.
