Teacher's hate USB's?

[KingdomBlade]

Our teacher's are not allowing USB's for projects and stuff, and I don't get it. Virii? Why? I scanned mine and it didn't have virii.

 

[jan777]

is she/he old?

probably because almost every old teacher hates technology.lol

at UST-EHS where we get 4th year college students teaching us for their practicum, well some projects can be passed on a Usb stick, depends on what type of project (like movies or something of the sort)

 

[Sanderino]

viirii ?

Well nevermind that teacher, he's strange. :l

 

[naglaro00]

LOL give him/her a CD-R

Nah, use a diskette. See if she still have the Pentium 3 kind of computer that has a diskette drive.

Seriously, I do keep a diskette drive for future use though.

She's afraid she might see porn or warez in your USB.

The plural for "virus" in English is "viruses", not virii, which would be the logical since it comes from Latin, but since when has English been logical

Anyway, just send him/her by e-mail!

what a weird rule. I guess people will always be afraid of what they do not understand.

You used to be able to get flash memory to floppy disk adapters called a "flashpath" or something like that. If you can find one it may make your life a lot easier. basically you put a MMC or XD card into a floppy disk shaped memory card reader and put it into the floppy drive.

Back in the days of school, i used to e-mail mine, they always wanted a CD-R though, but i never had a DVD burner at the time

Heck i still got away with e-mailing it

I only allow assignment submissions to be handed into me on punched card.

Not only that, but the proper latin plural of virus (poison) is virus, the same word, just with a longer u. Double-i as a plural only works if the singular form of the word ends in -ius, like radius (ray).

Also, the 's-plural is about as annoying as the "virii" part. "Those of the teacher hate those of the USB?" is what I read.

Give her a floppy full of Goat porn that will shut her up

Probably because they don't want you taking the work home to finish early, and want you to actually do the work during school hours.

My school has a usb flashdrive as optional so my mom bought me a 8Gb one....I hope the teacher lets me use it. Or you know I could just upload some games on it (Really Really OLD games) and play em at school...Or I could use it for whatever the heck They want me too.

Edit: By the way, my school doesn't start until the 24th. Luck, lucky, LUCKY ME!

When I was in high school I noticed that some kids carried games like Unreal Tournament on their USB flash memory and played here and there.

Instead, I got a teacher's account (which has admin rights) from my friend and installed stuff onto the HDD =D

How did you do that? (please tell)

 

[Sir-Fritz]

Depends on how the computers are set up, but last year we were doing that. Cant this year since we are under a newer stricter system.

Teacher account names were easy to know (first letter of first name + entire last name).
He then used a brute-force program in dictionary mode and jackpot at "phillip"

The O/s was probably Windows XP in its early days. Not sure what the password-trying program was called, and whether it would still work on newer XP/Vista/7 (or whatever else your school uses).

Apparently the teacher nor the tech staff found out, because we used that account till we graduated. (Funny because teachers were asked to change their password every 6 months or more often)

I don't start till the 9th xD

Don't use USB, if the computers are old like the ones at my school, the USB read/write will be slower then the CD read speeds. In freshmen year, my teacher pretty much gave us an hour of free time on computers in 3rd period. So I've setup self extracting/install Counter-Strike 1.6, Half-Life: Deathmatch, Team Fortress Classic, Sven Co-op, etc. to play on the computers LAN. At first we used USB, but I got tired of bringing home 10 other people's USBs to put the newest versions (meaning I was able to remove more stuff so it installed faster) So eventually we passed around like 15 CD-Rs. Cheaper too these days.

I think some people still have those CDs, I gave them to random people last day of school xD.

I wanna be in that class again now.
