What I, in fact, said is that making something that is ALREADY illegal "doubly" illegal is irrational, and, furthermore, is harmfull to civil liberties.
But thanks for your useless. You have reinforced my impression of those who fear the right to keep and bear arms as irrational, unthinking people.

PS: Are there any other civil liberties you'd like to dispose of? That pesky freedom of religion perhaps? It seems like that whole "freedom from unreasonable search and seizure" might be helping terrorists . . .
1. Illegally purchased (They were purchased by someone who could purchase them legally, but with the intent to illegally provide them to minors, which makes the act of purchasing them illegal.)
2. Illegally owned (In the state of Colorado handguns may only be owned by persons 21 and older.)
3. Illegally possessed (In the state of Colorado it is illegal for a person under 21 to possess a handgun without supervision.)
4. Illegally carried (Carry of a concealed handgun is only allowed by permit.)
5. Illegally possessed (It is illegal for non-LEOs to possess a firearm on public school property without a concealed carry permit. Yes, this makes it "doubly" illegal for them to have had them.)
6. Illegally carried (It is illegal to carry a concealed firearm on school property without a permit . . . ditto above.)
So, discounting all the petty things (like illegally possessing handgun ammo, etc) the young lady and boys involved broke no fewer than SIX "gun control" laws before a single shot was fired.
Any insinuation that this situation would have somehow been improved by more "gun control" laws (aka further erosion of the second civil liberty enumerated in the Bill of Rights) amounts to strong evidence of a hopelessly irrational mind.
I suggest you post a sign on your front lawn saying that you refuse to own guns
I'm not sure if you were inspired by this or if it is coincidence, but . ..
The JPFO used to make just that sign. They seem to have discontinued it. I can't understand why, it seems like a popular position.
If if is a coincidence I highly recommend you check them out. You don't have to be Jewish, you just have to support all of the Bill of Rights for all citizens.
Oh, and since I am posting anyway, the guy says the projectile takes on 1.5J of energy. For comparison, the rounds in the.44 Mag under my pillow (240 grain Hydra-shoks @ 1180 fps) have a muzzle energy of 2010J. Cool hack, but some miles to go between here and practical applicability.
Diebold voting systems are in fairly wide use, and apparently provide zero security to keep election officials from writing in whatever election totals they want.
Where did the perception that replacing a practical solution with a technical one erased all need for the practical precautions associated with that solution?
"We used to keep personnel files in a locked cabinet in a locked room, but now we just keep them on a SMB share with a null password."
"We used to keep voting half-way honest through careful ID and ballot controls, but now it's just Diebold's problem."

RAID gives you fault tolerance. It doesn't help if the server burns up, or gets rooted, or you didn't really mean to rm that file, etc.
As to hardware needs, you can't buy a computer today that won't handle a bunch of static pages and 250 mail users. Put more money into "real server" features like RAID, ECC, and redundant power (and maybe a UPS?) and less into CPU. RAM is cheap, so it doesn't hurt to get a gig.
Finally, and you aren't going to want to hear this, make sure that your machine is not connected to both the Internet and (any of) your school's network(s). Or, at a bare minimum, that someone who is professionally responsible (read: not you) puts a firewall between your box and the school's network(s), with the assumption that your box is hostile. The administration is not going to be amused if your box is used as a stepping-stone into the school's systems.
There is a huge amount of overlap in those three "codebases." Recall that we are talking about user packages here, and not the system . . . the system is OSX.
All three are maininging OSX ports of, say, wget and grep and such. All three port packages to OSX. I think this is a huge win for Free Software on this platform.
But maybe I'm wrong. I have no interest in OSX so this is my POV from the outside looking in.

Today: The freaking Internet, computers all over the place at home and school. Free UNIX clones. Perl, Java, C, C++ all for free.
When I was a kid: Just enough computers at school to cause fist-fights over them. Applesoft BASIC (somebody shoot me). DOS on a "good" day. I never had access to BBSes. (Dad had the only modem, and he sure wasn't letting me use it.)
Oh, and as a bonus, there was no dotcom-Matrix Geek Sheik. I'm sure school is still tough on geeky kids, but in the post-dotcom age of ubiquitous computing (and damn near ubiquitous Internet access) I find it hard to pity today's geeklings.
What is the point you are driving at? Are you trying to "teach the company a lesson?" If so, how does this help you (other than through catharsis)?
Are you hoping that they will ask you to reconsider when you all resign? And treat you better? If so, think twice. They'll probably just accept your resignations.
If you just want to get out of there, I'd suggest just quietly looking for a new job. If you just can't stand it and you can afford to be out of work, just quit.
It also happens that 1 Farad caps are available at "Car Toys" and other mid to high-end car audio shops.
Seems that putting a 1 Farad cap in the line between the positive terminal of your battery and your sound equipment keeps your headlights from dimming when the bass hits.
