InTune looks interesting, but it leaves me with the same question as anyother MDM and BYOD. How does it manage personal devices? Having a quick browse around the Intune website suggests installing a client app on the device. I take it that a properly setup Managed WiFi would not allow a device to connect that wasn't running the management app? And in that way assume that something like Mobile Iron would be able to do the same thing?

My headteacher went to a conference yesterday and has come back excited, telling tales of Office 365 taking control of students devices in school and making them safe?!? From the description it sounds like his seen a MDM that is taking control of the pupils personal device, switching off access to various things (airplane mode excl wifi?), and making it so they can only connect to Office 365? Is this doable? Can a MDM be setup to restrict the use, available apps, etc, on any device that connects to a managed WiFi network? Or is it only able to manage restrictions on school owned devices that it is specifically told to manage?

So you see a house in a council estate - how do you know they haven't bought it? or it's not private rented? I live in a flat in an estate of what where council houses; I'm buying (bloody money pit!). You look in the Window and see TV and iPads, nice. Look in mine and you'll see the same. So, where the evidence they don't work? Maybe they work nights when your asleep? or have part time jobs? Self employed? Who knows. I certainly have no idea what any of my neighbours get up to during the day. Like I said above, that desciption fits my sisters family; they both work!

Me - moving paper between desks, signing stuff, attending meetings and complaining about lack of coffee. Trying to look both busy and like I know what I'm doing... Tech1 - mostly doing work for our feeder schools and managing their needs, helps tech2 when he can. Tech2 - does most of the real work here, hasn't learnt that it's okay to hide from teachers yet. Helps tech1 out with feeder schoo stuff.

You've just (almost) described my sister! 3 bed council house. 4 Kids of school age. Each have iPhones, TV's, games consoles, etc. It's terrible! I can bearly afford to pay the mortgage on my 2bed flat 'course living like that they must be living off benefits, scrounging off society. Does it change your opinion if I told you he (her Husband) is a nurse and she is a degree educated Radographer? Outward apparences of these council dwellers with multiple offspring are not always what they seem! So they were once in a position to qualify for a council property - good for them. I wish I was too, much prefer that to private rent or mortgage. Your problem isn't them, the house they live in or the phones their kids have. Your problem is the fact that successive govenements have refused to properly invest in social housing since Thatcher brought in the right to buy 30 years ago. This has driven house prices and private rent prices to the point of stupidity they are at now.

Quick search around Amazon found these, the last one is software downloads for self publishing Amazon.com : Take Control with Independent Publishing Independent Publishing https://kdp.amazon.com/self-publishing/help?topicId=A3IWA2TQYMZ5J6 Looks like Amazon recommend producing in HTML then having their software convert to Kindle. The other option seems to be an ePub creator: EPUB - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Edit: PagePlus appears on the list of ePub editors...

I think the issue is that it's not as big a problem as the Daily Mail would have us believe. I live above one such "family" who I'd dearly love to see the back off. But the other 200-odd flats/houses up that road might, quiet rightly, have a problem with being called scoungers and chav's. I lived in a number of housing estates in some quiet deprived areas (notabley Lowestoft and Dagenham) and yet I can't ever say I've noticed that the freeloader society is as epedemic as some would have us believe.

That says a lot about the state of our society, and is worse than FB broadcasting that video on the frontpage surrounded by neon signs saying "free sweets for every 5yr old watches".

I've been thinking about this a bit more over night (as you do). At what point, by not applying sensorship, is FB complicite in forcing users to watch a video? Even if it appears on a users timeline it doesn't auto play, does it? The user still has to actively click the play button... @Sdrawkcab, I don't have children - so you're right there But let's turn that question the other way around. How many parents have let their children watch an 18 cert film? or play an 18 cert game? or smokea cigerrette? How many parents actively monitor the contents of games of movies before letting giving their child access? Should you be passing your responsibilties as a parent to government? or Facebook? If I had kids would I find it that easy to say no to them? (and reinforce it?).

My bad, badly worded, I was thinking more along the lines of ISP filtering. I think I did say above that it's facebook servers and they set the rules we use them by... As you say, it's my liberal idealology, and as I said above - I aquiesce to societies greater wisdom. EDIT: Aquiesce - I like that word, seems apt. Sometimes I wonder if we aquiesce too much power to the state because it's easier than taking personal responsibility?

I'm 100% behind you on this. Don't believe it's the states role to censor material, I aquiesce because it's accepted rules of the society I live in, but don't agree with it in principle. It's in even more aborhant that we should give powers of censorship to private organisations. I reserve the right to freedom of self determination in these matters. Personally I think the only people with the "god given right" to withhold that freedom from minors are the parents. And even that starts becoming questionable from about 14/15 years (suppose it depends on the individual). Makes me something of a hypocrite considering the schools filtering policies, but personally I think perants implecity, by sending the kid to school, charge us with withholding the pupils freedoms while educate them (if that makes sense).

There is a problem even with that. Do you... 1) Put all content behind a consent wall regardless 2) Pay a number of people to monitor all content to put behind a consent wall where appropriate 3) Rely on the content originator to be honest in putting content behind the consent wall where appropriate 4) Accept a number of people are going to see it, complain/report the media, and then put it behind a consent wall (after the horse as bolted)

No offense, but all that says is either FB should employ more people or rethink there censorship/banning policies.

I suppose we're very carefully stepping around the other can of worms in this subject. Should ISP's filter your Internet access for content that is illegal in the UK? And if not the ISP, should there be a great firewall of GB that does that job? (didn't a chineese firm win a contract with GHCQ or some-such to provide this?).

I agree with this, though not really the governements job. Who is in charge or policing the Obscene Publications Acts and why are they not pursuing a court order to have Facebook, at the very least, block this content from access in the UK?

Or over censorship in the name of common decency?

Actually, this is an important point. Whose job is it to give the film with said scene an 18 rating? The state, the film maker, the distributor, or the parents? In this country, the law as it stands, says it's the states job. I don't necerssarrily agree with that, in fact a lot parents appear not to considering the number who'd let a 13 year old watch Saw or an 11 year old play GTA:V. I tend to the view that it's the parents job to decide the appropriate level of censorship for thier child, after all they are the ones who should now them best. After a certain age, (is 18 too old or too young?), I believe we should have the freedom of self determination in such matters. The question then becomes, how many parents really understand/know what content there is in games like GTA:V, films like SAW, on YouTube or Facebook? How many actively screen content before allowing their child to be exposed to it?

The problem with a case like this is that there are a number of issues wrapped around one another that it's seems tought to pick apart, to me. Let's start with Internet and censorship. Should the Internet be censored? If so who by? Should Facebook have the power of censorship? What about freedom of speech? How do you stop Facebook going the other way of over using censorship rather than under using it? I actually take the stance that Facebook own the servers in question there for it is up to them to set the rules and police them, or not, as they choose. If you don't like the rules they set down or their level of policing the rules then don't use their servers. As for 8 year olds with Facebook accounts. Facebook's policy is 13 and older. So the question here, isn't the content shouldn't be here because an 8-year old may see it, rather the question is how can Facebook better police their own policies to ensure under 13's are not seeing unsuitable material? Then there is the material itself. It should be considered seperate from Facebook. As discribed I'm surprised the relavent legal authorities haven't got the powers to issue a take down notice. But then goes back to censorship, however graphic should we be protected from knowing such horrendous things actually do happen in this world? From Facebooks PoV I think they are right with a 5sec Warning, but the do need to better police their own membership rules.

I had them for gas something like 10 years ago. I stopped using gas but they kept the account running. Accumalated 10years worth or standing charges before they contacted me to demand payment for a service I wasn't using. Finally managed to get them to agree to accept half the outstanding balance and to close the account. I'm now getting letters addressed "To the occupier" welcoming me as a nPower customer and advicing me that they are trying to calculate my first bill and would I mind giving them a meter reading? I don't think they've worked out that the meter reading is exactly the same as it was 10 years ago, and I'm not going to pay any more standing charges, grrr....

Damn, I have trouble neatly formating a paragraph in Word!

Does't the VL version default to using a KMS key? So by default it's looking for a KMS server? Same as Windows 7 Pro VL.

Let's see, currently... 1x iPhone 1x iPad 1x MacBook Pro 1x Pansonic Plasma TV 1x XBox (original) 1x PS3 PS4 get's added to the list in Novemeber I leave you to work out how many people and the person:device ratio

Can't help, other than to say - sounds like an interesting game, wouldn't mind playing it myself. Parts of the description sounds very Hitman, while other parts sound more Infamous (which wouldn't be on XBox anyway).

Lol, we're a bit more sophistcated here. We have our own "launch page". Basically a Google search bar with 9 quicklink icons underneath for various things (e-mail, mymaths, etc)

I've just gone through the same process. The cost per copy lease offered by Konica Minolta worked out cheaper than buying laser printers and toner from our regular suppliers, so we're just signing off the paper work with them now.
