zero tolerance frequently equals zero sense. i could write better rules for my system than the school district can for their students and behavior.
by the way, my rules would be open source and able to be improved upon. too bad these can't be.
i took a gander at it and it's about sniffers and keystroke moniters. these are rather extreme and most likely not going to be in general usage, especially the keystroke monitors. the personnel costs of monitoring the logs would be prohibitive. however, if someone were willing to pay me to read through them, then they are a whole lot more stupid than i am.

my first pc was a 486 AST with a restore disk tied to that specific setup, including win3.1. the disk did install provisions for making installation floppies for much of the installed software. the idea's not new, been around for a few years anyway. when i moved on to os/2 and a pentium class computer, i ran across shareware that was crippled after a certain time frame, and this model served my purposes well. i paid for what fit my purposes enough to keep. i still kept the back-up floppies from the original installation though and used them as "proof" that i had previously licensed winders when i added subsequent versions of windows to whichever computer i was using at the time. now that i'm getting more accustomed to linux, i believe it's time to blow away any vestiges of M$. the insistence on more, more, more has cost them future sales (oops, wrong word, oh well) to this hick.
