networks existed long before 10 years ago.
older computers don't work worse than new computers, people are just idiots.

I had to cut that post short as the teacher was spying on our computers from his, and I forgot to turn that program off at the beginning of class. Yes, I know how, and can, quite easily. As far as they will know, the computer simply never had the program running.

Yeah the school computers in our library have this program called Vision6 which allows them to monitor our screens. All I have to do is uninstall the program through the Control Panel and it is gone

these computers revert everything to a previous point when they are turned off, Control Panel is blocked and they don't have task manager. I keep a copy of Process Explorer on my ipod (which I keep all my work on) so that I can end the program, and all the other blocks as well.

That's a pretty amazing idea.

we just watched a video about the roots of the PC industry and it was, let's say HORRIBLY BIASED toward Apple, IBM and Microsoft. THE COMMODORE 64 IS STILL THE NUMBER ONE SELLING COMPUTER OF ALL TIME. There was a Commodore PET in the background a few times, as Microsoft made it's BASIC and I think I may have seen a KIM-1 but other than that, no mention of Commodore. There was one mention of IBM OS/2 though.

That is pretty damn start. The computers at my school do the same when you turn them off but you're allowed access to everything.

Seriously? How'd you manage to do that?

[Floyd]

Using old Windows NT 3.51 programs that still work in Windows XP (and Windows 7 for that matter)

When you download a file, you don't use FTP unless you are downloading from an FTP site. FTP ad HTTP do not function interchangeably.

WINDOWS 95 WAS NOT THE FIRST WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM! Windows NT 3.1 predates it by 2 years, 3.51 by 1 year. WINDOWS 95, 98, AND MILLENNIUM EDITION ARE ALL DOS-BASED JUST LIKE WINDOWS 1.0, 2.0, AND 3.1!

No more cheap proxy sites to get around internet blocks for me no mores. I'm posting this from a proxy based on one of my home computers. Remote Desktop Connection works now too.

[Floyd]

and now I'm posting from my home computer using Remote Desktop Connection. There is a slight lag. I can't post from my Windows 7 computer because it goes into sleep mode after 20 minutes and won't accept incoming connections.

[Floyd]

but posting from the school's computer using the proxy the internet is actually a lot faster than normal, which is weird.

Yeah... I don't understand how you can do any of this.
But it sounds pretty cool.
It kind of scares me what people can do with technology if they understand it well enough

The teacher showed us this picture today:

He honestly thought it was real, but

I mean, really, It's not that hard to tell it's been photoshoped just from looking at it.

I think I'm going to skip math class today.
