It's a whitelist for students - this is why you will get blocked for "Uncategorised" sites. Blacklist for all others. They have been talking about time of day filtering recently too for those toy laptops they're going to roll out.

Actually no, XP 64bit is more stable than XP 32bit, as well as both Vistas. XP 64bit is based on the Windows 2003 server core, whereas XP 32bit is based on the Windows 2000 Professional core. Windows 2003 server > windows 2000 professional come stability.

Your CPU is so easy to overclock, it has an unlocked multiplier and all you need to do is increase it. But not too far..

You're a little too obsessed with that topic I think. Anyway, Macquarie Uni uses LaTeX as well, no doubt many other unis. It really is a much more professional looking way to do it.

Is that QX9650 at stock 3Ghz? If yes, that's a waste of a QX CPU.

The DET had their layer of filtering on the old proxyds, and schools could optionally also block their own stuff. Some schools pointed directly to proxyds, some schools pointed to a local caching proxy with their own filtering.

proxyds.schools.nsw.edu.au is the old pre-DET portal proxy. It is blocked off at majority of schools, after the cutover to the DET Portal. The IP you say is set on the desktops, is likely to be a local caching proxy which merely forwards to the DET Portal proxy. 10.xx.xx.20 would be it.

50/50 chance it will fall into the "Uncategorised" category which is blocked.

Staff have a tool called "Web Filter Check" that can be used to check sites to see whether they are blocked or not. However, often it may say a site is allowed for students and when you try it on a student account, it's actually blocked. Happens the other way around too. They are spending more...

What type of proxy? PHP? CGI? ....?

@jm01: If accessed through a domain that isn't blocked. Accessing via IP for both staff and students = no go. That got blocked 1st October 2007 as part of the transition to the whitelisting system as it falls under uncategorised/spam email.

@ pwoh: The process goes along the lines of... answering the secret question (correctly) and then you get asked to input a new password. It's that simple. @ LtPhoenix: Staff accounts should be able to see cPanel webmail. Funnily enough even student (school, not TAFE) accounts can too. It may...

Nowhere near! The DET filtering is worse than China's internet censorship...

From memory, TAFE staff and students (roughly) > DET school staff > DET school students. I could be slightly wrong with the TAFE staff/students bit but they pretty much have the same levels of filtering. iBurst (or what I call, iBust) isn't that great in classrooms due to the construction of...

I just do - try it if you can get a hold of such an account.

Public liaison officers are typically what you call the person who greets you at the door. In other words, they won't be able to help you too far. General contacts are often the most useless for specific and yet technical issues associated with what you're trying to raise. @ everyone...

@ pwoh: The SRC are powerless against the DET ITD - don't bother. It will be a complete utter waste of time. Have you tried asking Ms. Aspin to try and push the issue up the chain for you (to the DET)? Since she is the computer co-ordinator at your school she may have better luck. Otherwise...

Our principal's portrait (photo) which she uses for various things (school newsletter etc.) is on the photographer's website.. something to that tune. However, that site is blocked as pornographic material! There is no pornography on the site at all. They blocked it based on its name. Keep...

It better be on this week !
