My university doesn't use Firefox. They didn't even implement the SP2 upgrade. Normally I use portable versions of Firefox for USB drives on the university computers. This way I get browse the net easier and I can even add bookmarks. :D

For those of you who wants to know more about portable firefox, here's the link:

But I'd suggest you wait for the final 1.0 release to come out. ;)

Uhhh not a freaking chance! One legend installed it into his account, the next day the IT head guy found it and went berko they suspended his account and gave him a very very stern talking too! Our head of IT is a freaking loony!!!!! Not alowed to have more than 100mb in your account and they made me delete all my digital art projects because my account was 200mb and my art projects totalled 100mb. One guy stuck a gig into his account... lets just say the IT head was not amused. They back up the database on Tape which i guess is why they have a sad at big accounts. So no, no firefox at our school.

No, of course not. My technician busted my friend last year for downloading DivX, which he quoted to be "An illegal peer 2 peer application used for downloading pornography". the problem is, theyre too noobie to even tell the coolsearch bar shouldnt even be there so they dont care

My college uses deep-freeze but they haven't figured out that I figured out how to remove it, all you do to remove the deep freeze protechtion is format the mbr (master boot record) just bring a floppy and your set. My technical school and now my college use it. I now just remote to my pc from school so no biggy for me hehe.

Oh yeah and IE.

Simple solution:

- Install FFx at home

- Copy the program folder onto a USB Flash Drive

- Run it!

Hopefully your school isn't so tight as that it set 'run only certain programs' in the GP :s

Heh - our entire library got infected with Blaster/Sasser/whatever - luckily I just happened to be logged in as Administrator at the time (upping the res from 800x600 on a 21" monitor ;)) so I [shutdown lib-xx -a]ed the ones people were using.

Maybe the zip on a flash drive would be best :) as i dunno if registrys needed etc.

In my college were forced to use spyware invested Internet explorer, kinda annoying in a Web Design course :s

They also actively block other browsers it seems as anything else Ive tried comes up with Authorization errors in the main window.. ahwell :(

(I am said mate by the way (At least I think I am))

It's not my fault they forgot to block wordpad (they blocked notepad), All I had to do was open wordpad, type command, save it as a .bat and run it. and they nearly suspened me for it!!! Way OTT!!!
