The computer I use at my school acts weirdly. As I type, there's a long delay before I see the characters on the screen. This got me thinking "Maybe my computer is bugged by the school with a kind of spyware."
I've read about spyware that employers can use to get copies of your emails as you send them out and and also track which websites you're visiting on school time. Do you think the schools here use this software? |

They don't need spyware on your local machine to get copies of your emails (most likely) or track which websites you visit. It's more likely some Korean spyware that was inadvertenly installed  |

And it's very easy for someone to see your screen on a realtime basis from other networked computer(s) screen. Most likely someone is watching your computer screen from other computer if you're at work. |

| Isn't it called a delusion of reference when you think everything that happens in the world is somehow connected to you? |

When you read all of his threads, you start to wonder if he had coat hangers dangling from the ceiling  |

| Who cares - they'd have to ask me what all those hard words mean when used in a context they're not used to anyways, so it's not like it matters. 90% of what I have to say about my school is positive and 99% of what I have to say about the Korean educational system is negative, and they already know I feel that way, so what difference would it make? |

I don't care if they know everything i write or browse through.
Would be a bit obvious if they started making conversations about what I'd just written on daves though. |
