A question for knowledgeable Kiwi's.... does NZ to Australia traffic count as 'international' by Orcon's terms? (It may seem a stupid question, but Australia and NZ occasionally ignore the fact that we're separate countries).
Exactly, I thought the point was supposed to be teaching skills... which doesn't necessarily equate to improving grades. One of the many faults with education systems.
Strangely enough, I just got my first ever warning from the safe browsing service about 10 minutes ago. Visiting a website that I go to regularly... I'm glad they caught that one site getting compromised at least as I place very little confidence in AV software nowadays.
it depends on what the purpose of the PC is going to be, are the kids going to be playing games, is it for web browsing, is it for educational purposes, is it to teach programming or business skills? All of these possibilities may affect the choice of OS. Overall though, if the tips that you've read suggest staying with the installed OS, why not follow the tips? XP being unsupported shouldn't affect them in any real manner, and if it does become a problem then the OS can be changed at that time.
And you appear to be ignoring the intent of my statement, because of your desperate need to be right. I have not entirely discounted that governments do it, I used the word 'generally' for a reason. I just don't believe that it's the case here. There's a diference between dismantling political groups inside the US and mass rioting in the UK, can you provide me with an example of a riot that has been deliberately incited in the UK by agent provocateurs?
Oh, I'm sorry... maybe I should have clarified that I was talking about the popular media representation of a central "CCTV network". There isn't one, stop believing everything you read.
Yes, they already HAVE those weapons, but have they deployed them yet? Would they be more likely to deploy them if the general populace had equal access to firearms?

Signed, Hero Protagonist.
Nice to meet you Hero, now what did you do with Hiro Protagonist?
It didn't faze me at all.
Kiwis are known for their ingenuity and cleverness...
I thought it was the tendency for an unnatural attraction to sheep that Kiwis are famous for? (Sorry, I couldn't resist) :)
In Australia in the early days of P2P, there were apps that were specifically restricted to local networks.

It's also a lot more likely to leave physical evidence.
When teaching stops attracting simpering morons it will be a high paying job. FTFY.
You forgot "and get off my lawn".
I think you're missing a 'like' button.
Lack of money?
You forgot 'natural ability'.

You've obviously never worked in a call center.
You've copped some abuse over time, but stuck with it regardless. Congratulations on sticking on regardless of the G.I.F.T.(at times) community.

This all has a very “house of the future” feel to it.
Actually, it had a very 'KITT' feel for me.

I think you mean: this.

You missed the non-caps lock part... widespread civil unrest benefits no-one when it is within your own state.
Sssshhhhhh, don't interrupt his rant with logic.
Like I said, it fails as a deterrent.

*NEWSFLASH* Youth unemployment rates are generally higher than unemployment rates of the general population.
