I honestly don't understand how this is news for nerds, or even an interesting article, anyone that refers to every irc network known to man as mIRC ("since its chat functionality can easily compete with mIRC and the like") doesn't need to be writing a comparison of anything for one thing. What happened to slashdot? All that seems to be posted any more is Software releases and bad articles?! C'mon can't we get back to real news?
"by Anonymous Coward on Tuesday, May 02, @03:37PM EST (#197)" etc... "forward our complaint to the owner of the referenced comments." Wow... MS has reached a new level of stupidity.... not only do they release buggy software, but now they can't even understand the concept of anonymous posts... explains a lot...
I'd been expelled before this book came out maybe *my* story could've been included, hehe, I got expelled on tuesday (4/18/00) for a joke that I made about columbine, they honestly thought that I was some kind of mass murderer, if you'd like to see *why* i was expelled, you can see what was written on my precal test here and be forewarned, the only reason they expelled me was for the last 2 comments, and none of the other BS that was written on there.
you mean, this kid gets sent to jail, for completing his writing assignment and getting a good grade. I dont know which is worse, the fact they threw him in jail for 'threating terristic violence' or the fact that noone complained about a 7th grader explaining how to get high of of freon in a school paper?
I mean, I know he was supposed to write a horror story, but he didn't have to mention the freon or getting high. This whole thing reminds me of something that happened to me recently actually, March (or was it May?) this year.
I had decided to talk to my mom about a serious, thoughtful subject, death/life afterwards. All I said was that I didn't think dieing would be as bad or scary as most people make it out to seem, she mistook this whole conversation (which I'll spare you the details of...) as saying that I wanted to kill myself. I was like WTF?!?!?! she didn't even get the point, I just wanted to talk about how I feel about something I felt was important! But instead of talking to me on a serious level, I spent 2 weeks in an outpatient program @ a psych hospital, where I learned that "drugs are bad, dont do drugs, mmmkay", and from the patients, that its easy to get high off of tin foil and pencil shavings (dont ask).
The moral of the story is, parents/teachers/administrators, tend to completely miss the point behind things like this. I mean, this seems to me an obvious cry out for attention and justification of his "getting high", why didn't they make a big fuss over the actual problem in the story? I mean, the teacher etc... getting shot seemed more like an after-thought than a threat, I mean, I've seen episodes of pokemon that were more violent!!! (that show is so cute... hehe... dont shoot me)
I guess what I'm saying is that people need to get a grip on reality, and stop this BS over "oh no, he wrote a shitty story, now he's going to kill everyone in the skool" kind of crap. I mean, its ridiculous, they seem to have completely misinterpreted this kids story, once again, and it looks like he's going to pay the price for not keeping his mouth shut! (like I did)...
Well... like Rob (he posted this right?) said, that's what we're teaching kids today, NEVER talk about how you really feel, you'll end up in jail, or a mental hospital, oh well, not like it seems this country is going to last much longer @ the rate its going anyways, but thats a different topic....
Yes... but in my school district they have put up a fire wall (its annoying...) to imply that the students are completely safe (from what?) from anything 'bad' they might find on the net. Which also means... that is we can get to it it must not be bad... and therefore if it aint blocked its good. Now, I'm not saying this is a good policy I mean, they should just send out something to the parents to sign (like they'd ever actually see it=) stating the acceptable uses and the consequences for not following them. But with this software there would be no implied saftey, or anything that is agreed to. They would just know EVERYTHING that EVERYONE types into the computers, (and I really dont want them reading my outgoing email that I write from there occasionally).
Just a side note... the SysAdmin's dont check where I go because I use the tech DNS server... hehehe.... shhhhhh... dont tell!!!
actually there are some very simple ways to keep the process from being visible on the Task-Man. (forgive me I cant remember the API calls as of this moment)... However there are other programs available that will let you see 'invisible' tasks =)
as long as they keep these things out of the (public high) schools for 2 more years... I wont have to be worrying about it =)...
however, what exactly is so bad that the employer would think they HAD to take measures like this? I mean surely it would have to be something worse than the occasional porn break wouldn't it?
another thought... what are the possibilities of this being installed on someone's system and used to steal source code or other valuable information for a competitor? this just has all sorts of bad uses...
