Seriously why fill a such important time in child's development with crap that will be irrelevant before he'll hit puberty. There's many more important lessons in life than this. The dad thinks his kids something special now, but in a few years when those valuable lesson and experiences can't be drawn upon....What then?
This dad is a douche-bag.

Could have all been dealt with, had they participated in the forum to correct any misunderstanding. Too late for that now.
This is more of a result of the recent hysteria by the Australian Federal Police and Australian Crime Commission over local criminals using Phantom Secure phones to coordinate contract hits allegedly.

Brandis might have good intentions, but he's about as illiterate as they get in the NLP on such technology matters. These gangs don't rollover. Even rivals will not roll on rivals. This is a naive idea and will fail miserably in practice, if it ever sees the light of day. Given the makeup of the current senate, not any time soon.

Standard practice. It's their network. It's not a public network. If your BYOD computer joins a Windows domain, typically a GPO will install a root CA to various things can be self signed. If you using WPA-Enterprise, you need a cert installed for this also, not necessarily a Root CA, but doing so make life easier down the track for the schools IT dept.
The Root CA will allow inspection of SSL via the school (transparent) proxy. If you are so paranoid about the traffic being snooped on, look at the sites cert chain. If it's spoofed to the School's Root CA, you'll know they can see your traffic. Just go buy a 3G stick or hotspot your phone and bypass the school network when you want some privacy. Then the problem shifts from the school to your parents.
Undoubtedly the reason for installing the cert would be to monitor/filter SSL traffic via a proxy. These days it's quite trivial to setup a transparent proxy that uses a MITM attack with a spoofed cert to monitor your traffic. Have a look at untangle. It does this out of the box. Just put the CA on the client and you can intercept all SSL traffic.
Obviously it's not difficult to look at the cert chain to detect this, but even if you do discover a spoofed cert, getting around it isn't trivial.
AFAIK, the meta data they harvest is most likely in the clear (SMTP/IP Headers/Phone Numbers). For that they can build a comprehensive map of who is taking to who and then delve deeper into actual content of associated/linked targets.
GA is very popular. Saying it's crap doesn't really align with the experiences with the few million businesses using it right now. I guess it must be specific requirement that couldn't be met.
That's just a bit naive. You can apply that argument to any outsourcing. Yet it seems quite acceptable for other industries/sectors.
Google Apps comes in many editions.
Standard Free (Grandfathered 7th Dec 2012) Non-Profit (Now same as EDU) Education Business Government ISP
The ISP, Government and EDU editions are significantly different to the rest. Google offers additional customization and they also have multi-year contact terms granting those institutions certainty the service will be provided for x-years. The other editions are on a year by year basis for less than 750 users.
Been using the Gapps for many years, and yet to come across a paid service (SLA) that users were forced off. Video for business was ended, after a year's warning and before it was shut off, Google released Drive with replace all the features that Video for Business offered.
The flip side is that you get many new features/upgrades, that you don't have to worry about rolling out (reinventing the wheel).
Security FUD...FYI, Google maintains an isolated instance of GA for Government, so it meets the necessary security requirements. This has been in place for several years now and widely known to those that careless for BS MS propaganda.
It can be more challenging to move to Google Apps if you want only to migrate a sub section of your business. This rule applies to many other products to.
The Office Apps side of GA is much weaker than native MS Apps, but the email and other components shits all over MS and other offerings. That said there's no reason why users of GA can't continue to use MS Office as well.
Actually it's quite easy. Paid users get a Phone number and email to call, or they can contact the re-seller who can open a case for them. Google use both email and phone to provide support.
The terms are clearly laid out to users of the free version. Community support is available via the admin help forums. Google has staff there that can escalate issues that cannot be fixed by the user. If you want full support you need to sign up to the paid version.
Clearly Google don't lock accounts without reason. They have a few automated systems that check for ToS breaches and suspicious activity outside normal/typical usage. They're might be a few isolated cases, but the vast majority that say they're account was block for no reason, it turns out it was locked due to spamming/password compromised/ inappropriate material (CP). Of course don't expect the article to mention a follow-up to say the president did actually have inappropriate material. Where wouldthat leave the story and errrr....his job.
When drive was released there were many overlapping features. Video was one and to say that it was shutdown is maybe true in the strict sense, but the reality is that drive with video offers a wealth of more features and benefits. Video for business was quite a terrible product, considering it could have been YouTube grade.
They failed to produce anything of value in the last few years, with the exception of Force Unleashed, but even the sequel was lack lustre.
One one side it can be hard to produce a radical new game/concept, when boxed into the SW franchise. That said they had exclusive access to a big market of SW fans. I really wished they'd release a new version of Tie Fighter/Xwing MMO.
I declare that I am not a member of another party and agree not to join another political party whilst a member of The Wikileaks Party.
Not too sure if this is a standard AEC requirement, as it's new to me, but if it isn't, it might be an obstacle to them getting wider member support. They will likely have a lot of overlap with the Pirate party that has already been established for some time and the Greens.
Might seem hard to believe, but the vast majority of patches, often didn't require reboots under Netware, though it was easier to do so, than unloading and reloading.
Also there's been hardly any 3.12 patches in the last 16 years that I'm aware of. Last year I decommissioned a SFTIII 4.12 system. Up time was 3 years at most due to some weird NIC (State) NLM bug, that replicated across the SFTIII link once every few years. It's a real pity Novell ditched SFTIII, it was a tech that was way ahead of it time and still yet to be matched in simplicity and function IMO.
Netware was considerably stronger than Windows security at the time. Once sitting at the console, it pretty easy, other than a MONITOR.NLM password. Resetting the bindery Supervisor password was pretty simple by loading SETSPASS.NLM or SETSPWD.NLM. Or NW4.x NDS SETPWD.NLM
Direct bindery hacks were much more complicated and still required console access to either get access to the NET$OBJ.SYS, NET$PROP.SYS, NET$VAL.SYS files in 3.x.
Yes this is true. In today terms IP=IPX and SPX=TCP. SPX was often used for things RCONSOLE (Todays MS MMC / RDP)
A personal favorite network number I used that was easy to recall was AC:EB:AB:EX. There were many others like DEADBEEF, but given most installs used 802.2 and 802.3 Ethernet framing, you needed two network numbers often for each NIC.
MS refusing to support DNS for NT users was the beginning of the end. Upon that announcement things took a dive. When MS retracted it, the damage was to far gone. The momentum of the product and stigma attached to it as a hackjob was establish and AD was able to gain enough momentum, even though it was an inferior product for many years to come.
Gmail/Google consumer accounts remain. Google Apps no longer has a free version which was very popular with individuals wanting a personalise email/web , and small businesses / non-profits outside the US of 10 users.

which probably cost less than a $100 to manufacture.
Too much margin in it for them to return to standard DIN and integration options.

Not surprising. Given the refusal to remove those bloody Java sponsors from the JRE. Piss off the end users and now the developers.
Why? What was it that went so bad?

A lot of assumptions based on a few strings. Don't worry, plenty of surprises left for IO.

Nothing that hasn't been replaced. Video was replaced with Drive which is far superior IMO.
