  1. where are the IT contacts? on Student Given Detention For Using Firefox [UPDATED] · · Score: 1

    where are the IT contacts?

    they are the people that you should be talking to.

  2. Re: detention for disobedience on Student Given Detention For Using Firefox [UPDATED] · · Score: 1

    you can run firefox off of a usb key and it does not need to write to the HDD.

    Also some school use stuff like deep freeze to lock down the systems. Some software may need admin to work and deep freeze just lets reboot the system to make it go back to where it was when you booted it up.

  3. Re:OSS is evil. on Student Given Detention For Using Firefox [UPDATED] · · Score: 0

    I don't the teacher should have the right to say what they can and can't run on school computers as that is up to IT people for the school. What you needed some new peice of software to get your work down and that one teacher dose not know about it?

    And the IT director thing sounds like a PHB story and if you do that you have to cover your ass when things hit the fan so you don't get the blame.

  4. Where is the IT people in this? on Student Given Detention For Using Firefox [UPDATED] · · Score: 1

    This maybe just about useing software with out asking IT before hand.

    Did IT install Firefox on the systems?

    Did anyone form IT even take a look at the system?

    Did IT say to give the Student Detention or is just that IT put Firefox on the systems and the teacher is not used to it and the teacher thinks you can't do the work on it?

    Is the class work coming from a old work book that only talks about IE and may even show the old IE 6 GUI?

    It's sounds the teacher does not know that much about computer systems and is used to useing IE for the web and the teacher may even be the some one who may even think the same way about IE 7 if see is used to IE 6.

  8. Vista 64 is better then xp 64 on The Advantages of Upgrading From Vista To XP · · Score: 2, Insightful

    and even then quite a few apps still dont work with windows 64 and there many printers and other usb stuff that does not have 64 bit drivers?

    M$ do your really need all printers , scanners , and other basic input devices to be forced to be 64 bit?

    and why do you have to pick 32 bit or 64 bit?

    10.5 does not force you to make that choice.
