Post by: MiTo on Tue, 04 November 2014, 09:14:34: I'm drowning on deals. It's funny because they are kinda of random, sometimes I get dildos, than binoculars, than toys, than shirts and than often, keyboards. Not to mention that I already earned 20 million brittish pounds since I've been sitting here (twice) and a Chevy Camaro because I'm he 1,000,000th visitor.

They're not random. They're taking information from browsing history. Obviously you have children, perverts, peeping toms, and douchebags all going to your college. Either that, or this is your browsing history, and you're all these things.

I think that it gathers the history and what's currently being displayed on the screen.

Since that PC is one of the many at an actual classroom, you can have a glimpse of what usually seems to happen over there.

I would not type any personal information into that thing at all. I would not stick anything into those USB ports.
I would. Shut it down. insert read-only (many older usb drives had a read-only lock switch like SD cards) USB device like flashdrive or SD card, load up linux (to ram if you want to be all paranoid), do whatever.

Yeah i'm glad I got into Unix at an early age, it always comes in handy. Just yesterday I loaded up an Ubuntu live cd so I could dd clone my OSX drive to the SSD I just got.
