Detention for using Firefox

ur really lucky. (nope, im nt gonna admit ur good.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:I break most school policies.
Nothing happen... in fact, for breaking them, I've probably survived 2 virus storms. I'm one of the few who went unaffected when the whole network was infected twice.
As I've said... things done correctly should have no effect on you... obviously, most suck at that. Don't play taiji.

No offence on the LOL part. Just that I found the part about Firefox as a network hacking tool amusing.Originally posted by yuko-ogura:ok..thx for the info and sharing.
i quoted from sites.
no need to LOL.
anywae, if the school deems it wrong, den dun do it.
dats how i feel.
Maybe that guy should have skinned his Fx to look like a IE.
And he's in Grade 11 already. Shouldn't he deserve a little freedom to choose a browser he wants to work in? -

OMG! You're more retro than me! I've never heard of Lynx!Originally posted by LatecomerX:Lynx, anyone?
I remember Pacific Internet gave way Netscape Navigators with their dial up packages, then Singtel was giving internet explorer. Then there was Cyberway.com.sg, aka Starhub. Can't remember what they gave. I remember having a dial up account at every ISP! Ha!
Firefox has its roots with netscape. Yep. Its becoming one heck of a popular browser too. The Add ons are just so useful... eg. firebug. -
Dear ________
ur child was been caught for using IE7 instead of IE6, when he told us that he could not do anything about it, as it auto updates. We suspects that he had meddles with iexplorer.exe and winupdate.exe, it is not possible for computer to auto update and auto restarts
This is ur son's statement:
I am using IE6. then suddenly the taskbar shows: update complete, please restart. i saved my work and restart
i duno why, i open IE and the skin changed... -

I tot this 1 is prank?
Recently, a file was uploaded to the Internet purporting to be a copy of a letter from Big Spring High School to a student regarding a two hour detention. The uploaded letter was an altered version of a detention letter sent to a student. Unfortunately, privacy concerns prevent the School District from giving a full explanation of the nature and source of the letter's alteration at this time. The Big Spring School District does have confirmation that the discipline letter was altered.
The reports, blogs and other sources on the Internet indicating that a Big Spring student was assigned detention for using the Firefox internet browser instead of Internet Explorer are untrue and were based on the fake letter. Detention is assigned in our schools after appropriate warnings are given, if students continue to engage in non-academic activities or fail to follow a teacher's directive during class time discipline can and will be assigned.
Sincerely yours,
John C. Scudder
