I use Linode as well and love it.

Dell's markup is huge, but the time and effort you'll be putting in will justify the cost along with failure rates. I would just look for a cheaper vendor. Also, you may not be able to legally go the route your looking at. Many government entities have to put out RFPs before making large purchases.

I'm a bit older and I always remember having an account mostly to track how much to charge my parents. The school district I work for passes out cards right before lunch with a barcode to scan to track payment. I suspect that this system has little to do with watching or more to do with money. Tracking food is probably the BS that the school district gave to the government to get them to shell out the cash for a new system.

Most places don't install cameras to prevent bad behavior or even to catch it in the act. The real point of most video surveillance is to tell that bimbo that said he/she fell in isle 3 he/she is full of it. I work at a place with about 200 cameras in about 15 buildings. No one actively watches them, we just get request for video of a location at certain time and burn it to a CD.

Bluetooth range can go up to 100 meters depending on the class of the transmitter. Class 1 ~100m, Class 2 ~10m, class 3 ~1m. A class 2 the recording device could be hidden in the trunk of the abandoned car at the place next door. Class 1 could be down the street.

Don't even have to do the root certificate. If the filter solution is set inline, it can intercept it just fine. really, no point in blocking or filter search results anyway, search results don't pose much of a risk, the user has to click on a link at some point that is either going to be filter or not filtered. Personally, I just plug my EVO into my computer at work (a school).

In Kansas City, MO it has a video as well.

We use something called Visions. It works, but I suggest putting the computers in a public area and actually watching them. Nothing you can do will completely restrict use. Even with our filtering, we walk into some rooms and every kid is on either facebook or youtube (both of which are blocked).

A big reason there's no free market with ISPs is because of government regulation. If I wanted to start my own ISP and had the money to do it, I would have to go through the trouble of getting franchise agreements with every town I want to customers in.

I Dated A Robot

I went to a local vocational school and did some unpaid internships. These where part of the class time and only lasted one or two days at a time. If your working for more then a few weeks or not through a school of some sort, then yea, that should be paid.
