    Did they lock down the OS too? Meaning that instead of right clicking stuff say inside a folder you have to highlight it one at a time, and go to organise in the top left??

    Also, they don't let us customise windows. We cannot set our own wallpapers and they disabled icons on the desktop and taskbar...

    We had a system that removed NSFW content out of the history and put it in a special file.It looked like this:
    8.2 2002 Horse Porn Dave N.
    Well,we bypassed that with removing the NSFW-send there script.

    does your school use ranger? it locks down the os
    Its a terrible piece of software, isnt too terrible on windows XP but it just doesnt work in windows 7 properly, the GPU drivers are messed up, all the computers are set to the wrong resolutions (like 1400x1050 on a 1440x900 screen) windows aero doesnt work, and the machines are generally just terrible to use, but they are nice computers, Core i5 2400 and some AMD GPU (the one just above the 5450).
    Its slightly different though in my school, the county i live in does some of the blocking, and then Ranger does some as well. The IT people sometimes block the internet at lunchtime, just because they can, drives me mad tbh, along with the bloody screen resolution.

    No, it works to well. What sucks is we have REALLY old machines from the pre-XP era running Win8. Not even 8.1. On a 4:5 screen. THAT'S why I feel alive at home, with a computer that doesn't shoot itself whenever I move my mouse :)

    Pre-XP? as in pentuim 4 era machines, i am glad my school upgraded them to core 2 duo's.
    5:4 screens are terrible, worse still when the IT technicians set the resolution to 720x576 or something ridiculous when it takes 1280x1024

    I guarantee that you will overpay for shit. Get shoes that will last, that is, if you even need new shoes.

    It's 190 bucks. I won't wear them every day though, I have a pair of roshe runs. Though I am thinking about the Adidas Ultraboosts which look very comfy. Very expensive for running shoes though.

    I wear some Roshe Ones pretty much every day, but the sole has become very dirty and I can't seem to clean it.

    I'm sorry, I have never paid more than $110 on shoes. I get a new pair of Merrells every 4-5 years, and they last the full 4-5 years of daily abuse.

    Thats a stupid amount for some shoes, especially ones like look like my mothers late 1980s running shoes.

    I could get like 3 pairs for that.

    You're paying for the name mostly. I like the look of Jordans so I rock them. Everyone has a different opinion on it though.
