The school actually makes some illegal stuff legal, and freaks out over Notepad? That's whack.
There was a fight at school today, and one "compeditor" ran outside into a teacher's sight range just to stop getting whaled on. Missed it all, though, since I tend to be one of the last in most things, including order. |

My school was too low-tech for filtering and blocking programs. The rules were enforced by the Librarians Walking Behind The Computer Users Method, and they caught everything. |

Wow, that High School just sucks. Although mine is a bit better rule-wise, there's still the general idiocy among the staff. There are the few teachers that get it, and they're the best teachers to have, but everyone else, is oblivious to most things that go on in class, they fail to realise when many things happen. Like my spanish teacher (I never should've stuck with spanish), there are many talkative people in my class, and she only realizes talking when three certain people start. She even joins in conversations with some of the girls sometimes, and then gets angry when the three guys start talking.
And then, the computers, they are crap, and the comp-sci room actually gets the worst computers, instead of the better ones, whose idea was that? Theres also the fact that, although not nearly as bad as the notepad-virus person, people don't have a clue what to do with computers. My comp-sci teacher, is less proficient with computers than I am. She can teach us programming alright, with the textbook, (I think I remember her saying something about never actually coding java herself), but general computer knowledge? Forget it. And she got really angry at me when I started fixing something that she didn't know how to fix, and wouldn't let me do it, insisting on calling someone down to fix it, while I could have easily done it right then. ____________________ There are things I want to put here.

Yeah, I had a programming teacher who knew almost nothing about programming. She was knowledgeable with other areas of computers that she taught (IT, networks, and web design), but I was a better programmer than she was. She knew that, and if anyone asked for help with programming, she would have me help them instead.
One of my English teachers was really, obviously biased. The whole class would act up but she'd only ever yell at like 5 people. I wasn't one of them, so I could do something really bad like write on the wall and not get in trouble, but if one of her "least favourite students" did so much as breathe on her wrong, she'd yell at them. She was like that with the grading too. Sometimes she wouldn't notice that I skipped whole questions, but if one of the students she didn't like wasn't perfect, they'd lose points. |

I could probably write up another list that size just about the computers, but I'll stick to some of my favourites for now. 
I feel sorry for my brother having to go there...  |

Deep Freeze is an annoying program, although I will admit I've been severely tempted to run a program that wipes the HDD (or even better, fills it with utter trash after writing it)...

Posted by HyperHacker Netsend...  We have that too, once, in the middle of Comp-Sci, someone used it to send a message that said "Program Error" to someone else, and he called the teacher over and asked her what was wrong with Java. It was pretty funny actually, especially since the teacher had no idea what it was either, and I had to explain it to her.____________________ There are things I want to put here.

I used it to hit on some of the girls in the class. They were amused, at first some thought the computer itself was talking to them. XD Then I got stupid and sent a network-wide message and got suspended for a few days.  That's when they turned it off for a while.
Posted by XkeeperIt annoyed me too but they didn't use BIOS passwords (or in many cases, BIOSes capable of passwords), so I'd just pop in a floppy disk containing a batch script I wrote to delete it. This got more interesting when they moved to XP, as I had to find an NTFS driver for DOS, which took up 2 more disks itself. I always did want to play with it a bit more though. I noticed it creates temporary copies of the files you edit, so I wanted to try editing those copies. Other things I never got a chance to do include editing files via raw HD access, bypassing the filesystem entirely (which it allowed me to do  but finding the file data would have taken hours), filling the drive by editing a lot of big files, and playing with hardlinks and alternate file streams.
I did do two fun things with it though: one, delete the program but not the driver, which meant it was on but there was no way to turn it off (nor any tray icon), and two, install Firefox and VNC servers on a few computers before they put DF on, so they were stuck on the drives as well.  Also, someone found the password somehow and spread it around - it was "freezer". 
Oh and that reminds me of another good one: When they learned that their craptastic laggy filtering didn't affect Firefox (even though it's server-side ), they blocked firefox.exe from running. Install it, rename to iexplore.exe, kthxbai. They also had right-clicking the desktop, and the File menu in the file browser, disabled even though you could still do everything from them the long way. |

My high school always has to make up snow days whenever it does snow in my town. They usually take away holidays like Presidents Day which I don't really mind. What I do mind is when they make summer start late because of snow days. They are suppose to do that in the end of the school year and what is worse is that the school will fail you if you don't show up. WTF indeed.
It doesn't matter if you are passing with all As in the school year, they will fail you if you don't show up which means you lose credit for graduation. I'm one of those people who wanted to skip out because I believe making up snow days rules is retarded. It's not like we're missing something very important if we did have school. |

My middle and high school used to make up every snow day beyond the second. In the 1998-1999 school year, we were in school for a large part of June because we had well over a week of snow days plus a cancellation due to a bomb threat that year. Then, for one of my last years there, they changed everything from days to hours, and the yearly allowance of hours was well over two days' worth.
I was kinda pissed off in 2003 though, as we had a very rough, cold, long winter but very few cancellations. Just one day in March (which happened to be my first Acmlmversary) from snow, and two days in April from ice storms. |

The computers at work are supposed to be P4's. I wonder about that at times.
I sometimes get pop-ups to update Flash on the PC's too. All well and good except we don't have anything that USES Flash. |

Mine did the make-up-snow-days crap some years, but not others. |

My school never made up snow days.
It was nice. |

I've only had one real snow-day in my entire life. Other times I've just stayed home because the weather seemed really bad. |

I had only 4 snow-days in my life and 2 of them were back in January of this year. It snows about once every couple of years where I live.  |

Our school at most has 4 snow-days every 2 years. But there are some exceptions. This year we had 5. |
