| I love big brother So the phone people already have backdoors, did they pay for this?
I can understand why universities don't want this... it'd be a nightmare to properly install. Here, for instance, there are many disparate wiring closets, a boatload of public access computers, not to mention internet2. Getting all that nicely piped to the man will not be an easy, or a cheap task. If they want it so bad, why don't they "come and get it?"
Having students pay that much to have themselves watched is an outrage.
Imagine advsors buttering this one up, - "yeah, that's so the man can know everything you do online! it's great! and it also helps pay for bored field agents who have nothing better to do than read your email, snitch on you for sharing a song with your friend down the hall, and tell your mom that you were looking at more pron than educational sites! it's great, with this fee, the university also has to force all of the computer people to comply, that's too bad you have problems with your computer, good luck getting anyone here to fix it... maybe you should try the geeksquad, get charged an outrageous fee for a simple problem, or have that friend you know fix it... oh what's that? he's in jail for sharing that song with you? too bad." |
