So you're telling me that it IS useful.

Hey, I guess it works for some developers who need a bunch of dummy files to play around with ASAP. Everything has some purpose, although this would likely be used for mostly malicious purposes.

Well, I find dd to work fine for doing what that does.

And if you want to bypass quotas on NTFS, streams are where it's at. (no rule-breaking use, plz )

Network management in schools is NOT fun, I've been there I've done that, and I took to blocking out a LOT of spyware at the proxy level in the end. It's more fun than reimaging.

.... that... disk utility is... odd.

I say the only way to keep a school network good is to use some insanely high security settings. No cookies, no downloading of anything but images, Spywareblaster and other things that automatically kill spyware as they try to get in, oh, yes, and an automated warning system for when someone breaches the security settings.

My college I'm attending has a very strict rules against file-sharing: You can't do it, or you're reported to the college police. Just today I got an e-mail saying that they busted 40 people for sharing music and movie files over a file sharing program *cough*KaZaA I bet*cough*.

KaZaA isn't allowed on college anymore. They say that they have a program that can track down your IP and disconnect you from the college network, even if you're already plugged in, but I believe that's just bull.

But I'm not risking it... and besides, I now live off-campus, so I'm not worried about that kind of stuff.

The public is taking the file-sharing thing more seriously. Heck, Napster went down rather quickly, and now they're charging people a few cents per song, I've heard, than providing them for free.

Actually, in my experience the best thing I've been able to do to computers in a school environment is install means so that when the computer is rebooted, it starts up fresh as a daisy without any student-installed nasties each time.

That way you little shits (I refer lovingly to those of you in schools that destroy computers) can do what you like and it's all good after a reboot . And if all fails (not happened yet in my experience) we can always reimage again.

Ahh... so nice. Now I just had to keep attending to the fact that high school students apparently get off on putting foreign objects into floppy drives. Paperclips... chewing gum... homework, shards of CD....

So glad I work on help desk and away from the floppy drives of doom

My library tried that ghost image thing, but even the librarians got sick of it.

ghosting is good, but still tiresome.

Better is the first thing I mentioned, where you don't have to.

Even better again is if they make floppy drives that bite kids if they put chewing gum in them.

We had some restore card before on our computers, it takes 10 seconds longer to start up and so. But the computer is always the same when you start it up. So that was a nice way to fend off viruses and "little shits" ruining the computers. Windowx XP is more safe in that department, but it's still possible to ruin it in "regular user mode". Unlike Linux/Mac OS X...

And hey, I need a free ghosting utility.

xcopy c:\*.* d:\

Those 'freeze' programs are useful, but generally pretty easy to get around. I usually don't bother though. Keeps the spyware out.

Heh, my school's network is completely messed right now. It thinks I'm only using half as much space as I really am (yay) and won't let me into some of my files (boo). They forgot to disable streams again though, hehe. Still not as fun as when they forgot to set a size limit entirely though. Of course idiots blew it by installing 200GB worth of games and such.
