| schestowitz | I have A 15-meter Ethenet cable my sister bought for me 3 years ago. It gives high bandwidth. I could buy a fourth monitor to act as a dual-head extension, I guess. It's not ideal, I'll test some configurations and see if it works for me. | Aug 28 01:32 |

| schestowitz | Check out Edmodo, it's really nasty, while pretending to be kid friendly and casual. Here's part of a letter that I sent to a teacher about it last year, | Aug 28 14:58 |
| schestowitz | Edmodo's terms of service are too long and vague for me to really comprehend but the site makes a lot of demands and claims little responsibility for their actions. http://www.edmodo.com/corporate/terms-of-service The five page document is called a "binding contract" and it links to at least five other contracts. In so many words, the company grants permission to sell student information and shields itself from responsibility. | Aug 28 14:58 |

| schestowitz | Teachers, for example, are made responsible for COPPA act compliance, and mandatory arbitration is demanded if there's a dispute. The privacy policy, included by reference, http://www.edmodo.com/corporate/privacy-policy also pushes responsibility for Edmodo's actions onto teachers and parents. They demand your consent for collection of personal information and then grant themselves permission to publish whatever they want to sell | Aug 28 14:58 |
