NetSupportSchool Pro (School edition)- Fears aroused

Just last Thursday, Mr Lee was very happy to see his student moniitoring system working. THis means that no games or anything in the ICT room. This also means that the very adminstrators of this site are forced to watch the boring teacher give dumb lectures for the whole lesson, simply waiting for him to finish off.

Worse still, he can throw any comments and do whatever he wants with our computers. This is also very uncivilised behavior. He would soon abuse this software and play more tricks on students. Most importantly, it is ruining our privacy and basic rights of freedom of speech and action, so long as it is not illegal, as mentioned in Hong Kong Basic Law.

I really hate that screen he plants in the screens.

Any solutions, please put your comments below.

NO SOFTWARE PATENTS!!!!

Softwares are just like mathematical formulas and musical scores. Imagine if Issac Newton patented the calculus or Mozart patenting musical scores.

Such a catastrophy if it happened. If you want to develop your own operating system, you will need to check do you violate any of these.

A Patent is different from a copyright. A copyright protects its owner for the copy for its stuff, but a patent is for owning the right for creating the different stuff but with the same idea. This severely disables the ability to create new software. This suppress new inovative ideas.

You webshop is patented.

To be finished
