The IT at my college suuucks. Some highlights: My first semester the email had just started working again. Thing was, it wasn't technically down. The mail servers had been hacked and were spewing out spam from their .edu domain. No one noticed until they were blacklisted by major mail services and as a result no one outside the college got their messages. The email also went down for allmost a week once. Completely down, any messages sent to your address were lost to the abyss. They eventually contracted it all out and it's worked fine since. I still just use gmail and most professors do too. They gave my friend a copy of an antivirus that they must have downloaded from some sketchy source because it had a trojan on it. When it hosed up her computer they told her this like it was a mistake anyone could make. The lab computers aren't locked down in any way. This is great if you need to install something but often they get infested with toolbars and the like. Well, the basic setting are locked, including time. This is a problem because the time is always wrong! I thought windows got the time from a service by default, I don't know what the gently caress. This can mess up security certificates of course. We don't have user accounts or anything. You log on to the wifi by connecting and going to any website, it then redirects you to the login page. For some reason, if you ever go back to the URL you first entered, it logs you out, and will again with that site for the whole day. You had to be careful not to have your first URL be a site you wanted to go to later. I'm lazy and just enter a random URL, I've gotten porn a few times in class aha.
