I have to say I really like this. The colors work really well, I'm just not a big fan of that kind of generic composition with the leaves...

I don't like having loads of addons, but it's having addons that I need available that makes me use Firefox. I have a total of 9 addons, and with the exception of a couple of them, taking away any of them would disrupt my day-to-day browser usage.

There's gonna be a huge public hanging staged in General Discussion. But first there's gonna be a huge banner contest (RuneScapers only) to commemorate the event, and the one voted as the best (The one by the user with the most friends) will be set as your signature for life.

It wouldn't even involve hacking, probably just gaining administrative access and killing a process. If that wouldn't do it, then the program(s) used is well and truly spyware. It would require hacking, schools wont just give you administrative access. Pff, you call that "hacking"? Also, this could be made a bit more difficult by the fact that the laptops in question are apparently Macbooks. Yeah, anyway, a judge ordered the school to stop this, so it all turned out OK and everything. http://yro.slashdot.org/story/10/02/23/2030207/Federal-Judge-Orders-Schools-To-Stop-Laptop-Spying

I knew that someone would finally say that, because to be entirely honest it's true. That and what others said about fragmenting the discussion further don't justify the creation of a new forum. :|

Not only does Linux happen to be the standard for servers and supercomputers, but Linux is like public school in the way that everyone contributes for the benefit of everyone, and Windows' development is privately funded. That analogy doesn't really work. I'm not really sure which you think is better, but the quality of education in different types (Public or private) varies so much from country to country that you can't really say that; Finland's education is among the best in the world, and is almost exclusively public. Cost is almost always proportional to quality, especially in schools. Less cost, less teachers, less material, less electives... Yes but if the school cost less.. but had less quality then most people wouldn't pick that school and it would go out of business. Yes, exactly. You didn't really read my quote did you? If a majority of schools were private, the cost would not go down so much so as to maintain quality. This is exactly why private schools aren't as popular, the quality must remain constant so the cost must remain constant. I have no idea what you mean by that second sentence. Who is "They"? What do you mean by "The money", how is it attached to the child? Look, moral of the story: Don't post at 5:00am, OK?

And in addition to that, Finland has high taxes, but free schooling up to University level and healthcare. Taxes would indeed be stealing if "taking your money" is where it ended.

^Multitasking is not an impossibility now, neither has it been in the recent past. Since tablets and computers in general have been able to multitask graphically for roughly 25 years, I think that it's safe to blame Apple for that.

^ Heh, I used Firefox like since it first went stable. :P (2004ish?) My dad showed me it (Makes me wonder how he knew about it then, he wasn't a web developer) and I started using it. Or maybe it was my uncle, I don't know.

I think they accused the student of using drugs in his home. I heard from a friend of a friend that they accused him of popping prescription drugs in his bedroom, but in actuality they were Mike n Ikes. Yeah, according to Slashdot that's what was going on. http://yro.slashdot.org/story/10/02/22/1814248/School-Spying-Scandal-Gets-Even-More-Bizarre

Firefox, because I need Firebug and Stylish. Absolutely essential for web design, makes web design an absolute breeze and a pleasure to do. Chrome rocks too, but it doesn't have Firebug (Its Firebug equivalent just doesn't do it) or a decent Adblocker that I've seen yet. It's fast and efficient, but it'll have to get those addons before I use it on a daily basis.

The solution is painfully simple- Nuke them from orbit. Put Linux on them. Man, I wish I went to that school. The money I could make off Ubuntu installs. :lol:

^ Minus the propaganda. :-)

Hah, imagine if that happened in Finland. It would be a huge public scandal, I doubt you have anything to worry about.

If I had a school laptop, I would do a few spyware checks first- Because spyware is exactly what that is. After making a big deal of it, I'd install Ubuntu and forget about the whole thing and make use of the laptop. :-)

Indeed, make sure that session_start() is before anything is printed. That means that this will not work: <!doctype html> <head><title>Blah</title></head> <html> <body> <?php session_start(); //Rest of your code here ?> </body> </html> Because session_start() needs to send the headers, if headers are sent before it's called, you'll get an error (Headers already sent in file.php on line X). This is how you'd do it: <?php session_start(); ?> <!doctype html> <head><title>Blah</title></head> <html> <body> <?php //Rest of your code here ?> </body> </html>

I think there's a way to not set the status if you haven't set it already (Technical stuff: By removing the entry from the HTML form with firebug/greasemonkey or similar) but I can't think of a way that could remove it without actually going into the database and making a few queries.

Smoking makes you incredibly cool, it just kills you in the process.

OGG/Theora is the best choice if you ask me; It is both open source and free from patents, unlike H.264, and although H.264 requires no license as of now (And won't until at least 2016) and has an open source implementation it is still a non-free codec that users must download separately in open source operating systems/get a license just like MP3 on Ubuntu. Not only that, but OGG/Theora produces competitive, if not better image quality.

Oh really? Also my avatar = best on TIF now. Don't try and argue it. I was going to argue that it's ugly and I don't know what it is, but you're Nadril. You can't argue with that. :/

^ You get the product for free anyway, whether you press the flattr button or not. It works using the principles of wanting to share and spontaneous combustion impulse purchases. Usually by the time you've decided to hit the paypal button and are typing in your account password, you've had plenty of time to change your mind. And then there's the fact that you're giving away money that you can almost certainly do without.

I don't know. There are still other ways of getting money, like selling physical copies of your content before releasing it on the internet. Some projects that have done/are doing that? Big Buck Bunny, Elephants Dream, Yo Frankie! and now Project Durian/Sintel. OT: That video is also proof that they can't speak Swedish properly in Sweden.
