Stop, Now, This Affront To Justice
Last week, one of the administrators at my school showed us a phone confiscated from a student earlier that day. With glee on her face she then proceeded to brag about how she was reading all of the student’s (in question) text messages. She then proceeded to ask a student to help read the student’s sent text messages. When I confronted her about this, she justified this by saying, “it’s against the rules to text in class”. I believe this is absolutely not only immoral, “fagadocious” and downright skanky that this is also an illegal invasion of privacy! According to this article from NPR,
administrators have the right to read text messages if there is a reasonable suspicion of a threat to public safety. To provide some context, this phone was confiscated from a 13-14 year old in middle school. This entire situation is simple ridiculous. Opinions?
Oh yeah, there is also this little thing called the Fourth Amendment . Have you ever heard of it? It’s frightening how many people who haven’t.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

HP’s Tech Support is Appalling!
It is really, really. bad!
The First Ten Applications On My Windows Install
I just recently got an HP Mini Netbook for my birthday. It is a really solid machine, with an awesome keyboard and sleek design. Plus, the price is right at $350. One annoying thing about it is the fact that it comes with Windows XP Home Edition. This in and of itself wouldn’t have been bad. However, as with many (if not all) modern PC manufacturers, the HP Mini came with tons of Crapware. No I would not like a trial of Microsoft Office, no I would not like a trial of Norton Internet Security, thank you very much. All of this crap is (nearly) impossible to get off without reinstalling the operating system. So I hooked up an IDE CD drive to my conveniently placed IDE->USB hard drive enclosure. It didn’t fit perfectly, but it worked. with this I installed a fresh copy of Windows XP Pro. I then install the First Ten Applications on every windows install I do. Here They Are:
- UXTheme.dll Multi-Patcher
Allows the installation of custom Visual Styles on windows XP - gVim for windows
An Awesome Text Editor (disclaimer: Opinion) - VirtuaWin Virtual Desktop manager
Allows up to nine virtual desktops, this computer dual-boots Ubuntu Netbook Remix
I like to have the virtual-desktop experience to be consistent throughout windows too. - Microsoft Office 2007
Yeah…I know, What about Openoffice ? Well I happen to have a copy of Microsoft Office 2007.
In my opinion, it runs better on windows than Openoffice, plus, I already have it…so there. - iTunes
I really don’t like it that much, but I have an awesome iPod Touch…so I have to use it. - VLC
It plays Everything - Ext2FS Driver
Since I dual-boot linux on this system, most of my files are in the linux partition,
this driver lets windows access it - 7-zip
Extracts any archive format, for free - Launchy
Access all of your files, folders, and programs with an easy key press - Firefox
I saved the best for last, the best browser ever, hands-down
And that’s 10!
if you’d like to add any to the list, just add a comment below
“Due to newly acquired intelligence The…
“Due to newly acquired intelligence The City has been put under Level Three “Protection” [L3P].”
The announcement took the entirety of The City by surprise, as the COMs
– as everyone in The City called the network of communication devices laid
throughout the city hundreds of years before during The City’s inception – screeched into life.
Level Three “Protection” was something that was taught in textbooks, and everyone knew the IDEA of,
however nobody believed that it would actually be put into effect. The Government called it
“protection”, although Level Three Spying would be a more apt description.
The Three in Level Three “Protection” didn’t really describe the level of “protection”, the amount
of “protection” was the same no matter what level the system was on. The Level described the
physical area that would be “protected”. Level One “Protection” allowed The Government
to use covert surveillance anywhere on the streets, roads, sidewalks, public parks, official buildings
of The Government and just about anywhere outdoors. Level Two “Protection” allowed The Government to
use covert surveillance everywhere they could use Level One Surveillance with the addition of
of inside stores, restaurants , movie theaters, and anywhere that dealt services to the public.
Level Three “Protection”, however, to this day had only existed in theory. Level Three “Protection”
allowed the government to use covert surveillance anywhere they could use Levels One and Two with
the addition that terrified the inhabitants of The City.
Level Three “Protection” allowed the use
of covert surveillance in private homes. This was unheard of, with the advent of privacy laws
and lobbyists, this level of “protection” was never put into use. This allowed inhabitants of
The City to be watched 24×7. This was an attempt of some power-hungry higher-ups in The Government
to manipulate the lives of the citizens to a greater degree. They expected the inhabitants to take this
lying down, but what they didn’t know, is one man wouldn’t have it, and would rise up against them.
This is his story.
