My god. Jen was not clever and did not do anything other than follow the simple step-by-step guide about how to troll. If troll-spurring a discussion equals contributing on this forum please shoot me now.
To bring it back to the no Firefox discussion and sysadmins freaking about it, The school keeps having trouble with network as of late and it's because the sysadmin is some Cisco cert. and Windows Network all the way kind of guy and is clearly untrained to handle new technology. When I hear about what the specific problems are from my computer science teacher, most of the problems are due to the fact that he dosen't want to learn anything else, so he just uses outdated software and hardware. Last I heard, he was using some old ass version of Windows Network software,.NET? , I'm talking 5 or more years old and has yet to be updated.
For my Senior prank, I'm going to get a copy of 'Linux Servers for Dummies' book and shove it in his mailbox.

.NET is THE application development framework for Windows. it's actually pretty powerful, intuitive and absurdly fast to code with. The only real cons are that it's in no way open source, and can be pretty resource intensive unless you're modeling specifically for smartphones.
Same way with my school's sysadmins. The behind the scenes guy (who actually does most of the work, from what I've heard) isn't all that bad. But the person that calls the shots (programming teacher, other tech admin, etc) is one who refuses to learn new things. She absolutely refuses to get Vista on all the OLD computers because she's afraid of having to learn something new.

Are you sure that she doesn't want to get Vista for the old computers because the licensing is absurdly expensive and an unnecessary expenditure when taxpayers are footing the bill? And because Vista is a resource hog that has backward-compatibility issues and no real saving grace in a utilitarian setting like a school? Hmmmm?

No, it must be that she refuses Vista because she's old and therefore she is stupid. Isn't that how the meme goes? Aren't all students smarter than their teachers?
If the computers are old and you put Vista on them their are gonna be so slow... Why don't they install some Edubuntu thingy or reinstall Win 98, I'm sure the computers could handle it much more.

The only thing smart our sysadmin guy ever did was buy Intel core 2 duo's and take Vista off and put XP on it. Apparently it was cheaper to do that than to buy it with XP installed. The most shocking thing this year that he's done is fixing the Web Design computers in less than 2 days, it use to be at least a week whenever there is a problem.
In eighth grade, I was writing papers on an Apple IIGS.This was the year 2000.
Sweet zombie Jesus. Those things still work?
I have one in the closet that works.
I have two in my basement. They're tanks, in terms of reliability, weight and armor (the chassis is needlessly thick). The only problem you'll have is finding replacement disks; they'll start to decay over time unless you're careful to place them in an airtight static bag.

But it sure as hell isn't like our school is short on cash...
<_<
And I don't go to a public school. Taxes don't affect it. Tuition is like 8 grand, though, which is why I say it's not like we have a cash shortage.
