Has anyone noticed the state's distrust in today's youth with computers?

[Mikiyikiy]

I mean, honestly. I recently took the state testing, and I had to read a passage about a girl who kept jerking off, not doing her work, so it comes down to where she has to type it before school. And it at one point came to a passage where it said-

She could barley read the small green letters on the black screen.

What?

Green letters on black screen? The hell? They're acting like we've never seen a computer before. Did anyone else get that passage? Because I know I've seen a computer before. I mean,  where's the windows XP? The Mac? I've never seen green on black. I've seen white on black, as in DOS. But never green.

Also, I think about once or twice, I've seen retro computers in books and on TV.

I think it's a binary computer.

[Mikiyikiy]

I think it's a binary computer.

Yeah, but the test took place in 2009. Which honestly gives them no excuse.

My school recently started using XP. With the old 95 theme, of course, because anything that looks new is bad. Its just the same as the last one we used though because they still don't let you download things and you can only get on your  memory space through the network and putting anything on the actual computer harddrive is not allowed.

Oh hey I doubt you can do much with it, but on school computers you can make shortcuts going to your C drive and to MSdos.

My school's computers are set up so that when you restart it, everything will go back to normal. Settings changed, anything files put on it, etc.
Yet some teachers still freak out if you change something as simple as the screen resolution, which I do every day I use a computer, because even though the screen can go up to 1680x1050 or whatever it is, they have it set to 1024x1280 D:

And this year they disabled task manager.
(Yay for process explorer :D)

[Orgodemirk]

I know all about this.

I got banned from the computers at school this year for downloading Firefox. You weren't allowed to download anything, but I figured out you could "copy" it from an FTP site opened in Windows Explorer.

I used it for about 20 days using extensions that made it look like I was using Internet Explorer. Then someone else messes up their computer and they (the teachers not the student) blame it on me.

[Mateo]

School computers are so gay. Seriously. "I think I'll go to this website with the only picture that looks dec- forget IT'S BLOCKED. /wrists"

[DrMobius]

She was reading Matrix Code.  Hurrrrr

my freshman year in highschool, OUR class was the year that went through some awesome study, where they gave all of us laptops. and we had them year after year, when the classes that came after us didn't lol. they were macs
and every teacher for every class had our work setup to use them during class, with hubs all over (now that i think about it, wireless wasn't even an option lol)

like most schools, you had a student login and password to the school's system. to use a few apps on the network or get and turn in files to folders on some school server. (also weird why they didn't just use email to give assignments to teachers)
every teacher had a login to some server space for pretty much hard drive space. was the teachers first initial and full middle name.

Me and the guys figured the art teacher's login and had been using her space. she didn't use it and was prob unaware it existed.
we filled this folder with 90s mac games, and research. and shared it back and forth in any random class we happened to be in at the time.

we never got caught, but they eventually found it and the art teacher was suspended with pay for 2 days while they looked into it.
great times

god bless computers, i dont think i could have made it through high school without blowing my brains out

They always have the 1024x1280 monitors set to 800x600, are they handicapped?!

[Stratofortress]

You had to type that out on one of the questions of The Impossible Quiz.

Doesn't work for girls, they don't jerk it.

our school used to have these stuffty mini-macs, but then they updated to the newest imacs, which is pretty cool. They don't block websites, and a lot of people play flash games during frees.

Still can't download anything, but they have flash, photoshop, milkshape, so its pretty cool.

[Digmaster]

Internet security is nill. They've blocked twitter, facebook, and myspace. That's all. Everyone has their own virtual drive so fiels are transfered to each computer. Its quite nice. I've installed firefox and blockland on the computers :D
