  • Having serious problems with my internet connection.

    Judging by your answers, there's nothing wrong with your connection - whatever your problem is - it's in your system.

    Anyway...
    - Disable Adobe, Bonjour, Dexura (?) services.
    - I don't recognize SBSD Security center service. Disable it and see how system behaves
    - I'd uninstall Super Anti Spyware - you don't really need it, since you're already protected by MSSEssentials, MB and Spybot. You may want to use Revo uninstaller to deinstall SAS. Windows "Add/Remove Applications" function leaves plenty of orphaned files and entries in registry.
    - If you're still not happy with the way your Internet connection works, please provide screenshots from msconfig but this time from STARTUP tab. But, please this time crop your image and post it in 100% resolution. I can't read such small letters. ;)

  • Privacy in Schools

    *Sigh*

    You're not one to say. It wasn't your phone. My post is based upon the notion that if true, and it seems that way, do NOT let it slide. If it's false, then it's false. If it's true, then teachers are assholes. Now, let's have you put a hold on the second-guessing. It does nothing.

    It's called conjecture and it's the most logical solution. The OP is unable to explain how the staff bypass the security on their phones or how he knows they went through all the information. He just knows that the phones were gone through but doesn't know how they bypass the password protection. Instead of getting caught up in the privacy argument I can look at the argument and see where the argument fails. It may have been years ago but I still remember how high school is, kids make shit up to stir up trouble.

    And I remember high school where the faculty were shit, full of themselves, and lousy at teaching besides. You're offering a dismissal to the issue on the grounds that high schoolers make stuff up just to start trouble. Here is what I say to it: LET THEM. True or false (though I would say true, myself), the educational system needs a kick in the ass. Where am I pulling this notion from? My own life experiences, discussion with my peers, and a teacher-father who - despite his other flaws - wasn't shit like his co-workers. If this is nothing but a witch-hunt, FINE. Burn the witches. The fire it lights will set an example to keep the rest of 'em in line. Myself, a fair few peers, and probably my dad would love to see the heads spin, just for laughs. Now, if you're quite done, I have some evil laughter to get through.

  • Poll: How Happy Are You Being Single?

    Crab legs.
    Well, I'm doing pretty alright. Things could be better, but I don't think that has a massive amount to do with the lack of girlfriend.
    Plus, majority of the fairer sex my age around here... not exactly my type.
