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

My school computers are crappy dells D: Every website is blocked except there pre approved ones. The only websites that work are feedthehead.net and 4chan xD

Luckily I have an external Hd so I just bring that and play blockland.

There used to be total computer freedom, but since one kid got caught looking at research, they took everything away. 'THIS IS WHY WE CANT HAVE NICE THINGS!!!'

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

research at school? Wtf?

SOmeone stuck research as his background so they locked the background on everyone's computers, including the laptops we brought from home. I made a new account with admin privileges and everything got back to normal for me :D

I had to read a passage about a girl who kept jerking off

Lol, sounds hot to me.

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
same here :D

Yeah, we had to go through proxy servers, can't install stuff, hell I got banned from using computers because I put a couple of my files on the student drive for a friend to use and APPARENTLY we weren't meant to be able to do that and I was "hacking". Three day suspension and never allowed to use the school computers again.
Yes, we had a global student drive but the STUDENTS are not allowed to put files on them. You have to ask a teacher to.

It also frustrated me because you had a loving 20" widescreen monitor - SET TO 800x600. Yes, a widescreen monitor but they decided to use a 4:3 resolution - and a tiny one at that. I actually got a migraine from using the school computers for a double period (that's two hours) and the school's nurse said that "it's not possible". Yes, it's certainly not possible to strain your eyes reading horribly stretched, pixellated text for two hours of mandatory work.

Not to mention we couldn't use CD drives or USB or anything else. You'd have to go to a teacher to log onto their computer to copy a file from your USB drive for school work.
Now this is INCREDIBLY awkward when the only USB drive you have, is shared, and your brother decides to save a heap of research on it, and then Explorer decides to go into thumbnail mode.

I'm so glad I dropped out of school in these respects. Although I would like to go back so I can get my HSC.

Our school lets us buy $1500 cheap Dell stuffs that can't even run itself.

Then they clusterforget the school side by adding all this unnecessary stuff like some remote watch program that lets the tech team watch your screen from where they are.
The home side is obviously the home side, you aren't allowed to be on it at school and you can pretty much play games, but your parents need to have the tech team set the parent account password so you can install stuff or anything. Oh, and the background is permanently set as pink so they can see your screen from far away and know your on the home side.
I found out my moms password and she doesn't care and I made the background blue.

Yeah, I'm surprised at how little people ended school at Grade 10 from our school. I guess they were just too lazy to get a job or apprenticeship.

In my school there is 2 kind of PCs.

First ones are normal ones with XP, students can have limited accounts on them.
Then there are some small PC boxes, which has some really weird OS, you can only basically read text with them on internet. These are made by HP I think.

Good thing we have no PC lessons anymore, we had to draw pictures with MS Paint...

You too huh?

We learned some basic HTML too tho. But there are programs what do all the HTML stuff anyway, so not much needed either. But it was more fun than drawing in Paint.

Most of times it was still MS Paint. :/
