If only there was a place where I could borrow copies of book for free, even recent ones. With out advertisements. Possibly people would contribute money and books to it to further the knowledge contained in it. I am not sure such a place exists.
And in another first, customers dump these ISPs(ATT et al) for those that don't tattle on customers. Oh wait, In the US, this is the wrong generation. The don't help rabble-rousers. They take video of security tackling the offender and post it on You Tube.
A good starting point would be what companies and universities are doing with them. Internet filtering is the norm(assume they are going to get around it, have a policy for this). While most companies have a list of allowable programs and then do not place a restriction on install; this may not be right for you. This part would depend on what kind of stuff the help desk will be doing. Monitoring software is up to you(generally not on corporate); personally, I hate it. For me this would severely restrict how i use the laptop(notes transfered to a flash drive to my real computer). it would never see any real use until i bought the thing and reinstalled the OS(even if you already did).
This is what my university is doing now with it's laptop program(I am not a part of it). Personally the monitoring is the crippling part of it. Most profs that i talk to don't use the monitoring part. This may be different with high school, considering most profs don't care what you do with class time as long as you aren't interfering with anybody else. There is one loop hole, and that is that someone can use their own laptop with the monitoring software installed(can someone say vm) (of course i know the prof and will be taking notes in dead tree form).
The main point with a laptop program are basically filtering, software install and monitoring. You find something for those and the rest should be a cake walk.
That should give you a starting point, or at least some of what people are doing with laptop programs and my personal opinions on the policies as a student.
I have seen good and bad looking code from good coding standards. The best idea that I can come up with is: as you are writing the code realize that you are writing it for 2 things, 1. the computer and 2. the next guy that has to look at your code. if you do this then your code will be efficient and easy to understand; this is after all the goal of a coding standard
Do you have any idea how much pain and suffering that windows key has caused in game, good thing logitech put the ability to turn the damn thing off on their gaming keyboard. The windows key must go.
Something that i would like to see is a site that offers a subscription fee to download songs, rent them, and uses DRM just for that. Then if i want to buy a song i don't want any drm on it. This is the type of service that would best work for me. anybody know of one? because my tastes in music often change so i wouldn't want to buy a song, unless i really liked it.
I am not sure if this has been mentioned, one of the problems with microphones on a plane is the background, and engine noise. anyone know if this is really that big of a problem, or are you going to need some good noise reduction algorithems. i don't know if algorithms will help, as it is mostly white noise.
The main reason SCO attack on "Linux" failed was because of their business practices. If you alienate a bunch of people you are likely to loose customers, or potential customers. All the "Linux" had to do was sit back and whatch the show. The reason that the attack on the maintainer of groklaw failed was that "Linux" does not like lies, it will fight for the truth. As you can see if you come after "Linux" you better have the truth on your side, or you will lose. As for management, as pointed out before, "Linux" is too diverse, and spread out for any formal management. with the availabilty of computers today, there is no great threat to IT jobs. anybody with arround $500 can start programming for them selves.
This ruling will not change a thing for technology, because the dog detected something that was outside the car, there was no entry by the officer until a further search was warrented by the detection of trace drug molecules(sent) in the air(no entry involved). There is no way to examin trace evidence arround a packet to tell if what's in it is illegal. Therefore there doesn't seem to me that it would effect the digital world. looking at the header would constitute a tap and trace, and so would fall under a different law.
what s with all of the flames right off the bat, come on aren't we more civilised. if the guy really has a problem than let's give him a hand, so send your flames to/dev/null and give the guy a hand. wait this is/.
add a digital signature of some sort with a public key, that would prevent any unauthorized use of the system, and still keep it open for any body. the only problem is how do you distribute the public key, not everyone has internet, and broadcasting it every now and then opens up the possiblity for abuse.
are there bluetooth phones availble, if there is it seems that bluetooth would be wifi friendly as it frequency hops after a packet has transfered making it interfere only for a very small while. however I have never heard of a bluetooth wireless phone, has anyone else?
try wlaking into a gateway store, although I haven't done any compairisons with dell, they should be able to give you the laptop that you want, and you will talk with a person face to face, not to metion that you probably won't get this message
theoretically it can be detected. if you look at radar detectors that some states/countries?? have banned the older ones can be detected because every electronic device emits some form of RF energy. The newer ones though are sheilded making it virtually impossible to detect, even with extreamly sensitive equipment. the same goes for scanners, it can be detected if it doesn't have good sheilding
get ham lisences for all of the tech crew, and as long as it is non profit i think that you should be able to do it. then radios will cost less and have more power.
There are ways to throw off triangulation equipment, I am a ham radio operator who has participated in many transmitter hunts. If you are in downtown New York, your signal is probably bouncing off of every building in the place. and this is not the only problem, there is also different interference patterns. I recall one "fox"(transmitter) hunt where I was on one side of a steep hill, my signal did not go directally to the people hunting me, it bounced several times, causing them to look on the other side of the town where I live. and that was with a rubber ducky(antennae used on hts) on an ht(handheld transmitter) with 5 watts of power. other time someone has been downtown in the small town where I live, transmitting on.5watts(closer to cell phone power) and I was tracking several bouces before I found him. So trianglulation can be thrown off by your surroundings, GPS can't.
I have a computer in my room and work with computers alot. my parents trust me, as without me they would have a hard time setting up our home network and getting it to run with out me. that has built a sense of trust, and that is the same trust that extends to my other syblings.
my mother used to be a teacher where they had a proxy set up that blocked inapproprate sites, and she didn't like it; if a student did a search on breast cancer, it would block most of the sites related to breast cancer. It was a high school.
plus, knowing what I know about computers, not only would the trust level go down, but I would figure someway arround it.
one of my old high schools, I am about ready to enter college, the internet surfing rules were easy to follow. if you looked at any inappropriat sites you lost your privlages, outside of that the school didn't mind unless you were disobeying a teacher. it was like that until some idiotic kid decided to spread some nasty emails via a free internet service, and last time I checked at that school they block any url with the word mail in it.

I code in C/C++, Java, Perl. Does this make me a voodoo-Islamic-judeo-Christian fundamentalist?

Now if we could only harness dark energy, we could slow the universe expansion and power my computers at the same time.

I think the Catholic Church might whant to deploy this, when ever a priest thinks about boys ZAP
