Semi-content: For some reason, the Arch Linux netinstall ISO appears to be missing a ton of things needed to make it actually [b]work[/b] - it can't copy vanilla config files into the new system, it can't even change the root password (unable to run command "passwd" - command not found over and over and over). I mean I understand it downloading the packages off the net, but COME ON, man.

Everyone in my year level has to buy MacBooks or MacBook Pros for school. Not a problem. The problem, however, is that my year level is retarded and will try and play games during class. There's web filters which should stop them, but here's the real kicker: THERE'S A DEMO OF UT2004 PRELOADED ON THE SCHOOL IMAGE.

[editline]16th January 2011[/editline] I also put starcraft in it one time, It's on there now as well.

Reminds me of how Deepfreeze doesn't erase stuff in My Documents, people save their stuff there but since everyone can access it, the documents quickly get filled with ASCII penises.

Or you $PATH wasn't properly set.

Our default image had the Adobe CS5 master suite on it for about 4 weeks before someone realized it and removed it.

I installed Google Chrome on my Mom's laptop a few days ago, (she wanted to try something new,) just to find her using IE today. I asked why she uninstalled Chrome.... "Took up too much space."

Has anyone seen ANY of nerdygamer's tech related posts? 2 of 5 are good.

We must create a program in order to fill a hard drive with empty .txt files

Ad on TV just then, For A shithole ripoff place called dick smith that most australians should know of. I'll just leave this here. "...And keep your new computer up-to-date with the latest Logitech products." I'm speechless.

Well of course, you've gotta have the latest 800 megapixel RAM for your PC

Macs are very expensive and most students probably cannot afford it.

Lots of schools do. They are heavily discounted for school make a fleet of Macs the same cost as a fleet of Dell's
