What!!! What's wrong with those categories?!? If they did something like that at my old high school we would have staged a protest and walk out! (It was a small magnet school) Get your school organized... ...that's pathetic.

Nobody here cares enough to fight against it... that will to fight pretty much died after the student body lost their fight to not have the camera system installed (45 cameras for a student body of 1500, plus 80 teachers...)
damn, nothing

damn, nothing
*Clicks on any warleader thread*
damn, nothing....

How are you expected to browse the web for research purposes if you can only have one window open at a time?

Although I did this when all that was on the system was Win95 and Novell 4. Damn Novell 4 is so frelling insecure. I could access *anything* I wanted and could have easily caused serious damage to the network if I wanted. The only thing I did though as send a message to the school lunchroom comps telling them 'Your Food Sucks!'. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/tongue.gif[/img] What I find even more hilarious is that they consider 'sucks' a swear! WTF?! ****ing PC assclowns.

And the last time that someone gained access to an admin password, he managed to crash the interschool network, losing the files of thousands of students in less than an hour. And the time before that, someone managed to "accidentally" release Chernobyl onto the network... So they keep them pretty tight now.

Censorship? In a country founded on freedom of speech? [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/tongue.gif[/img]
Personally I wouldn't tolerate that kind of censorship - it shows a lack of trust in the users that is not only damaging in itself, but a servere hindrance on any decent scope of research.
I'm a student of politics; as you can imagine there simply isn't an issue in politics that isn't censored under your list - mind you, half the items there are what any decent person would search for if they wanted to generally bring themselves up-to-date with the world around them! It's a barrier that needn't be there for half the cases.
And if it does, by some justification, namely that people couldn't use the system without trying to look up porn every five seconds, or looking up how to make bombs suitable for classroom use, then that shows something wrong more with the people than with the 'freedom' of the internet access at your school - and is a much wider, social problem.
I'd complain [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]
So we weren't really founded on anything but British trading...
[b]At my old school the admin knew nothing about computers at all (this was when P200MMX's were top-of-the-line, really expensive machines). We spent half our time having fun teaching him all the tricks we could play on other students, and the other half playing tricks on him (like the "virus" on the portable C64).

hahah
Get this. The CD-ROMS in the computers are capable of being controlled by a little remote (gotta love Creative [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img]). I "aquired" one of the remotes and decided to play a little prank on the principal. He had no idea why his cd-rom tray kept popping out. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/tongue.gif[/img] After a few minutes, he got so frustrated that he smacked the tray and broke it in half! [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img] Then he wondered why the damn thing won't read CDs anymore. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/wink.gif[/img] He never found out why it did that though, and was convinced that his computer was posessed by satan.

This is what happens when I take someone else's word with regards to your nationality [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img]
We have websense tied to our PIX firewall here, and it's a really good system..can do restrictions based on user account, and can be very specific about what we lock down.
The best way around a firewall/proxy/url blocker- be the admin..and this is why I am professonally certified workin in IT and working towards a degree in MIS [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/wink.gif[/img]
Over the past three years, I've become friendly enough to no longer be blocked by the firewall. Originally, it was Bess (N2H2), but now it's Websense. It's a nice change in how it works, but there still is not effective at properly blocking. It's keyword based.
[b]That's an odd page to restrict.
[/b][/quote]If it wasn't, you could 'reminisce' certain websites from the grand old days of last month without the firewall getting you, because you never leave the Wayback site.
[b]My country wasn't built on freedom of speech [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img] That's the Americans.... I am a Canuck. We waited till Britain was good and ready to make us our own country, and then we let them do it.
So we weren't really founded on anything but British trading...[/b][/quote]
and for some wackos thats still not enough.
[b]What is a Canadian?[/b]
[i]A Canadian is someone who drinks Brazilian coffee from an English teacup and munches a French pastry while sitting on their Danish furniture having just come home from an Italian movie in their German car.
He/She picks up their Japanese pen and writes to their Member of Parliament to complain about the American take-over of the Canadian publishing business. [/i]
The filter actually doesn't block very much.... I think it just blocks the archive site because some of the stuff that it archives may fall into the innapropriate catagory.
But the websense/pix combo is really easy to set up and use, and it will block the stuff we don't want ppl lookin at..and occasionally a site that we do.
