I like the part where he proxies his way into Omni.Hi guys!
lol :PQuote from: RaylinI like the part where he proxies his way into Omni.Hi guys!
That's a little harsh, Kevin. I wouldn't say his parents are Nazis because they blocked Omnimaga. It may have been an inadvertent move as a result of using some kind of web-filtering software that had Omnimaga blocked by default. (which I can't understand, as there isn't any kind of red-flag content here that would alert web-filters) If they purposefully blocked it, well... that's just dumb. >_<;Oh I have reasons to call them nazis, altough more in my head or private. Sorry I was rather in bad mood earlier when this happened so I'm gonna change the topic title. But yeah I still stand by what I said for the following reasons:
SirCmpwn - any idea why your parents are filtering your connection? Maybe you can shed some light on the situation.
Sir would have almost every chance to become staff if he ever applies to Omnimaga COT nowWow, I'm flattered!
-They are on a crusade to remove everything SirCmpwn enjoys. If he starts liking a site, he'll get it blocked. I wouldn't be surprised if Cemetech got blocked too, soon. Apparently, all he could browse at one point was Ticalc.org. Even pastebin.com was blocked!Sadly, Cemetech has already been blocked. I managed to convince them to unblock Omnimaga, though.
-They CRACKED his forum account once and hacked it twice! Cracking is illegal. In their case, their actions involved compromising his account on my forum by changing his personal info and passwords. Sadly, since no money loss is involved, no legal actions can be done. Still, it is something that is against the law.This still pisses me off.
-If I remember they bruteforced his passwords for e-mail and stuff a few times too.No, they just threatened to destroy my calculator if I didn't tell them.
-They monitor our IRC logs to stalk him. I believe Netham45 banned their IP a few times too.Our IP is still blocked, thank you Netham45
-Other stuff happened as well, which I do not know, but bad enough to make Sir flee his home.I won't go into details here.
-If I remember they bruteforced his passwords for e-mail and stuff a few times too.No, they just threatened to destroy my calculator if I didn't tell them.
You're parents are the biggest [censored] and [censored] ever! I can't believe those [censored] could even conceive of doing something like that! Sir, make sure your parents know by doing that they are [censored] and [censored]! I hope they stop being tyrannical [censored] soon and treat you with the respect you deserve!-If I remember they bruteforced his passwords for e-mail and stuff a few times too.No, they just threatened to destroy my calculator if I didn't tell them.
Ha, not(C.That is pure evil. I can't imagine the kind of persons they are or I am missing lots of things.-If I remember they bruteforced his passwords for e-mail and stuff a few times too.No, they just threatened to destroy my calculator if I didn't tell them.
It's amazing when a calculator becomes an effective ransoming tool. :)
Good luck, though.

So yeah, I can't wait until Summer 2011.
Altough maybe his parents could eventually notice something weird and discover about the flash drive. Also what if the computer has all USB ports disabled (like at the Internet Cafe I used in 2007 when I had no internet at home) or no USB port at all?It can happen. Also I have seen computers very restricted overall on purpose. It is rare but you can only browse the Internet practically for research, you can't execute anything except notepad, wordpad, paint, calculator, my documents folder, IE and OpenOffice.

I think SirCmpwn should use a portable anonymous web browser running from a flash drive (can be easily hidden). Firefox 3.6 can do the trick.
Sadly all the library computers he got access to have Omnimaga blocked on themThat happens at half (the kids section) the computers at my library too. It's blocked for being a "Chat Site". =/

that's so sad.-If I remember they bruteforced his passwords for e-mail and stuff a few times too.No, they just threatened to destroy my calculator if I didn't tell them.
At College library, half of the computers were so restricted that even notepad, desktop icons, wordpad and the like were disabled and we couldn't even open exe/zip filesAltough maybe his parents could eventually notice something weird and discover about the flash drive.

Just curious, if there isn't that much of an issue as of right now why are we still looking for solutions? :PJust in case there are issues again soon :P

In fact, he was supposed to have Omni, Cemetech and IRC unblocked early June, then suddently one day he stopped showing up on IRC altogether then about two days later, he told me Omni was blocked again. (which is when I got pissed and posted that topic). The day after, Cemetech got blocked and Omni unblocked. Now both are unblocked, but for how long?
Why are the blocking calc sites? It makes no sense.They are probably totally against using calculators for entertainment purposes and think it should be only used for school. I hate when older adults are so narrow-minded about technology. We were born into it. They need to quit trying to make us stop using it as much as possible if we enjoy it. I hate how they try to make us live the same way as they did when they were kid. We're in 2010, not in 1970. Just make sure your kids succeeds in school, get a job when they are older, not cause trouble when they get older and respect others.
TheWorld Browser is just an IE-wrapper. (that is, it actually requires IE, and wraps its own functionality around it) Probably not a very secure browser, on that merit. It's likely vulnerable to the same exploits, and stores your history and temporary files in the same location IE does. There is an option to clear private files, but I don't know how accurate and deep-down it is.I agree with Opera. On my new quad core computer with 8 GB of RAM, Firefox still manages to take 5 times longer to startup than Opera.
May as just use a portable build of Firefox, Opera, or any other browser of your preference. Opera is pretty fast, in terms of start-up speed.

IE 0.3-0.5 seconds
Opera 0.5-1 seconds
Firefox 2-5 seconds
Chrome 0.1-1 seconds
Despite IE faster loading time, IE loads pages much slower. Firefox loads them a bit slower than Opera too but much faster than IE. Chrome has a quite good speed too. I really only recommend IE if you are really comfortable with its interface and be careful to what sites you are visiting. Otherwise I recommend one of the others. Plus most got portable versions anyway, if you don't have them installed
Like I said, it has escalated. I'd rather not go into details publicly.
Who knows what weird stuff we'll end up inventing.Actually, both of Sir's parents are lobsters... :P </jk>
41. The NSA uses only TI-BASIC for their highest level of encryption, so make sure you clearly label those BASIC encryption programs as "UNBREAKABLE.":P
Of course, let's use that :P Just like this article (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/news/articles/13/134/134579.html) says:Quote41. The NSA uses only TI-BASIC for their highest level of encryption, so make sure you clearly label those BASIC encryption programs as "UNBREAKABLE.":P
1)...Try to save some money to make it easier and in case your parents would retaliate by firing you from your job and that you had to find another...
2)...and when you get another job, do not give your old job as reference, in case your parents talk shit in your back to your new boss...
Pardon, but I'd like to pull out some key legal issues that come about in some of DJ Omnimaga's earlier post of which SirCmpwn could take legal action against if such events occured:Aaah, seems good. Btw he lives in Colorado. I hope the laws about that applies there. Over here, I think there are laws about that but it's hard to get proof. The only way to detect if your boss will slander you to prevent you from getting any other job is to get somebody else to call them for references about you or do it yourself with modified voice (filling each side of your mouth with wadding). Some bosses are so bad that when you want to leave the job, they get frustrated because they think you are abandonning them and take revenge with slander.1)...Try to save some money to make it easier and in case your parents would retaliate by firing you from your job and that you had to find another...
2)...and when you get another job, do not give your old job as reference, in case your parents talk shit in your back to your new boss...
For the the first key issue, if they would retaliate by firing you, there may be some legal action onto which you can use to fight back with. I say 'may' because most in most states the employer can fire you at any given time for any reason unless the state specifically forbids "at will" terminations(I'm not sure if California does or not), or it breaches either employment policy or a contract you may be in(whether it be written, oral, or implied).
NOTE: Also to add onto what DJ Omnimaga was saying, if they give you a choose in the matter as to weather you are fired or you quit, it may be best to choose to be fired, since if you just quit and you file for unemployment, it will be rejected.
For the second key issue, it is actually illegal and you can bring them to trial for doing so. It would fall under the "Defamation, Libel and Slander" law and they could most certainly be taken to court for doing so. Although there are ways to get around this unfortunetly by 'hinting' onto things, and not actually 'telling' the employer. All-in-All it may just be a good idea to not add them to the references, but if you do and this issue does arise, know you do have a legal course of action.
I wish you the best of luck SirCmpwn, and may the ~year time from your graduation be a short one ;)
