So, does wierd stuff or things that make you just go "huh" ever happen at school? Does for me. some of the things like that did that to me recently have ben finding out a classmate in my video production class is a 4chan mod, and having my school account disabled because "fcxfix.exe" and "pcx2snes" plus two programs I made ("mode7combiner.exe" and "mode7combiner2.exe"), and several spc archive he thought were SNES ROMs.
Anything like that ever happen to you? |

The weirdest people in my school are (other than me ;D) just those geeks you find in the computer lab playing Runescape. :\
Though we did pretend we were magic ninjas fighting evil when i was in 4th grade, that's another story. ____________________ ._. + internet |

At college we usually use our own laptops, but I remember some oddities from high school. The technology policy was strict enough to make the Third Reich sound like anarchy in comparison, except for the computers in one science lab because the science teacher was permissive with his class and completely computer illiterate. I remember one computer in there had all the icons renamed humourously, the only ones I remember are "Somebody else's computer" for My Computer and "Outernet Finder" for IE. I saw porn, roms, emulators, and even Zelda Classic on these machines. (The school was the only high-speed Internet for miles around, so a lot of people probably had trouble downloading stuff in their rat-infested trailers and remote farmhouses and had to do it at school.)
The network dries were pretty bad as well. People would just save EVERYTHING to the shared drives and NEVER delete it. Only 6 files would appear in the open/save files window because some moron named a folder with 100+ letters in the name. |

Last year at my school, someone brought World of Warcraft in on their iPod and loaded it onto the network. People were playing WoW in class until the end of the year when administrators finally found it.  ____________________ |

Wow... lemme think back. I remember our website filter thing was pretty touchy. I was doing a report about the equal rights movement in America, and a Martin Luther King Jr. speech was blocked because it contained the word "bondage" |

Ya know how Mac's have that freaky intenet called "Safari"? Yeah, I don't like it, so I installed Opera on all the school computers . My principle wasn't so happy, but after 20 minutes of me explaining how it's much better, he let us keep them. People still make fun of me because i'm the only kid in the whole school who uses Opera :X. |

I play Nes and Genesis romson the computers at my school... I would bring in Ocarina of time but the gaphics cards are crap . Plus there is no interne connection at the older building of my school (except for office and staff. They have two WPA encrypted routers for them). At the newerbuilding of my school, they havn't secured the network yet. During study hall, I would play MP hunters online with m DS. Now that the DS browser is coming out, I'm probably gonna' have good time in study hall.  ____________________ |

Posted by Omega I'm one of the only people who uses Firefox instead of IE on my university laptop. Then again, this is the place where the CEO of Microsoft went to school, so what do you expect? |

Posted by "Kernal" I'm not a big fan of FireFox. FF is more of a last resort to me. |

I was accused of planting a virus on the school network. Apparently it was traced back to my assigned computer in one of the labs, even though my home computer and all my disks were clean. This was before the school had Internet access, too. 
Eventually they either forgot about it or figured out I didn't do it, but it still took forever to regain the trust of some of the teachers.  ____________________ [citation needed] |

An insane guy who melted his brain on Ecstasy once said he was God and proceeded to demand a person to grant access to their account to somebody else he was 'helping.'
He may have been 3 feet taller than me and burly, but I shut him down real quick after snitching on him. Also, my College's computer lab has such troubles that I often wind up acting as unpaid tech support.  |

Posted by Doritokiller Like there's any other kind... Okay grossness aside, there was this one history teacher in my high school that had been working there for so long that there was no way in hell that they could ever fire him. So around the times of certain holidays, he would show up in costume. For Thanksgiving he would dress up as a pilgrim, and for christmas he would dress up like Santa (Which was funny because a member of our football team would dress up like Santa so people could "take a picture with Santa" during lunch, so it was funny to see the two Santas give eachother the evil eye in the hallway). We also had a principal one year that used to be Stonewall Action Jackson in the WWF, no shit, it was like Billy Madison, but in real life, and they gu wasn't fat... just scary. There was also a small political battle going on my senior year. The war in Iraq just started, and this one chick started a protest group. The funny thing about that is that she was like this prissy rich girl, so it was obviously just her looking for something to bitch about (because lets face it, it's the same crap that moms in suburbia do, and I'm talking about the ones that don't have a son overseas... or even know someone who does.) So anyways, they started hanging up Anti-war signs around my school, so the principal (an acting Marine) tore them down, and hung up "Support Our Troops" signs where the Anti-War ones used to be. Well, the girl who started the whole shebang got caught tearing down one of the "Support Our Troops" signs, and got called into the Principal's office. Now if she wasn't on Student Council she would have had in-school suspension right on the spot, but in her case the principal cut her a deal under the radar. If she attended a prayer vigil for the troops that was taking place outside of the school (it was at like 6 am before school or something) then she wouldn't be punished. It was freaking great. |

 Red Koopa Pathetic excuse for a hacker Level: 28 Posts: 30/132 EXP: 120073 Next: 11265 Since: 02-19-07 Last post: 6216 days Last view: 6215 days |
After the AP test in my AP Statistics class last year we had a Halo LAN party in class... complete with two XBoxes and two TVs (of course school TVs).
I recently got my account locked out because I had flash games saved in my account. Luckily they didn't find the ROMs and hacking tools on the C drive of my computer (the only folder with Run permissions is Photoshop's folder in Program Files). |

A trick that I used to pull in high school if I wanted to play roms, is that I would change the roms and emulators to .doc or .txt files or something, so even if they did find them they wouldn't really feel like putting in the effort to find out what they were. Trust me, they say that they can scan your account's actions and find out what you did "like that" but it's really kind of a pain in the ass. At least it was back in 2000-2003. |

at our schools they were pretty good at detecting people with games on their systems
...not that they were any good at actually doing anything else. I hate when people are really good at catching people breaking rules, but can't actually do anything to make the damn things work right. |

At high school, we used 100% Dell computers which had a circular "button" thingy on the front with the Dell logo on them. People would often remove the logo. The administration finally found out about this and yelled at all of us to not remove them anymore, not because it's vandalism or anything (even though it is), but because (according to them) it ruins the network card. Now I have repaired and even built computers before, and I know that the network card is located in pretty much the opposite end of the case as the logo, not to mention that the logo contains no electronic parts and therefore has no impact on the performance of the computer. I wonder if one of their computers' network card broke down randomly and that computer just happened to have a missing logo... |

Oh, the Dell buttons. Those were fun.
Ours were on a little thing that popped open to reveal some jacks for USB and headphones, and you can twist them to be either flat or 90' rotated. Of course, you can also do it right so they pop out. 
Back in our CompSci class, we played the Unreal Tournament 2003 demo all the time... I kicked ass often enough
Oh yeah, I got kicked out of that class for trying to recover my files in the DOS Novell utility program. I kid you not.  ____________________ I dealt with it. |
