After reading through some comments, I think this is a great option for parents. Every kid is different. Some kids obey the rules to the tee. Some kids know the rules and see how far they can be bent. While other have a blatant disregard for the rules. I believe that this type of software is great for any parent with very young children that are just starting to use the computer. I have one computer that runs Windows in my house and I have a couple of games on it, as does my wife. There are also a few games installed for my kids (ages 2 and 4). Therorectically, I could have this installed for specific users so that my daughter could play Barbie and Sesame Street, but if she were to accidentally click on one of my installed games, it does nothing. I think that this is NOT a substitute for communicating with your kids about what they do on the computer. And for the other trolls, an experienced computer tech/admin could set permissions on the games so they don't run as certain users. And there are very bright kids that know how to run Offline NT passwd crack to circumvent such software, in which case, you should communicate ALOT with your child to apply there skills toward a creative and positive purpose (a Linux user group would be a good start). Anyway, the moral of my rant, communicate with your kids, you don't have to be savvy-er than your computer using teen, just in tune with what they are up to. I haven't seen the software, but i give the idea two thumbs up.

X43-A on to Mach 10

My question.... How long/how many miles would it take for something to slow down to a stop from Mach 10? I bet you'd have a hard time "watching" it go from horizon to horizon. I imagine it would be under 30 seconds, but IANA math monkey.
We really won't know yet until next year as we are only starting our second year on E-Rate. I do know that the students interest in technology as a whole has increased. We have 2 cisco labs and all the seats for next year are completely filled. Check out http://www.greatschools.net/modperl/browse_school/ al/918 to see the demographics of one of our high schools. This is 2002 data. The way schools quailfy for E-Rate is if >50% of the students get free or reduced-price lunch. ALL our schools in this district quailfy. It is a very poor county. Luckily, there is a local phone company (http://www.htcnet.net/) that saved us millions on a fiber optic network connecting all the schools. I highly doubt that E-Rate or technology will decrease the drop-out rate. It has alot to do with the mentality of the community. Alot of the kids just don't care about their future. That depends alot on the teachers. I hope that the technology would be enough to give these kids interest in their future, but my outlook on that is bleak. You are right, those numbers would measure the sucess of E-Rate.
I work for a rural public school system in Alabama. I am the network addministrator. Thanks to E-Rate we have a fiber optic network that connects the systems 7 schools and 2 tech centers. We have atleast 1 computer in every classroom for students to access. We have a computer at every teachers desk to create lesson plans and manage student information. We have T-1 internet access and a back-up DSL line. I have seen children do some amazing things thanks to the computers that without E-Rate, we would not have. The problem with E-Rate is that the administrators(superintendents and board memebers) get the idea that they will have this great network and tons of technology in the schools, but don't have the forsight in planning to hire enough technical support staff to keep it all flowing and running. I am the network administrator and computer technician for all 7 schools. Thats over 1000 computers that I am solely responsible for managing and maintaining. That's way too much for one person! This school system and others needs to make sure they hire enough staff to manage technology inventory along with maintainence and everything that goes with having a state-of-the-art network. E-Rate is not the problem. E-Rate is a savior for alot of schools. The Administration of the school system is the problem. Thats just my 2 cents. Thanks.
MS has been running this Try Windows Server 2003 FREE for 6 months. Those stats probably reflect people using the free trial. Linux has always been free. The stats will be very different in 6 months. Some will actually kepp Windows Server 2003, some will crack it and keep it, but hopefully, most will return to Linux. Just my 2 bits.
Use Linux on a Mac... far away from any silly virus. Too bad I have to work on Windows PC's all day, so I'll have to deal with ID=10T people that click "Canel" when the Auto Update windows comes up to patch their crappy OS. Just ranting.
I know the old Motorola i550 and i30sx have a speaker mode/handset mode for the PTT. You can use the PTT next to your ear like when using the cell phone. It does make one beep at the start of the converstation but is very quite afterward. I assume it allows for better privacy during PTT calls.

I consider my computer usage habits (i.e. where I click, and what I look at) PERSONAL INFORMATION! A rose is a rose, and spyware is spyware!

We get all the new technology

Sorry everyone else, I just live here, it's not my fault.
While scanning in my home town, in a residential area, I found "Mom's Network".
I read the books and thought that they were great. It should make for a decent movie.

If it's got BZFlag built-in then it ROCKS!
Check USA Today's site. It still seems to be up.
Wonder where I can get a free PDF reader for Windows on my machine at work that isn't an Adobe product?
If that doesn't top X-men at the box office for the best selling movie of the year, I'll be damn surprised!!

Wonder if anyone outside of China can get Red Flag Linux? It would be interesting to see how much likw MS Windows it actually is
