http://www.idkfa.com/v3 idkfa: syndicated http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=7139&msg_id=7139 I started my very first fantasy football league this year, at the invitation of my cooperating teacher. She invited me before the school year started saying that it was something that the staff did. Being my first one, I drafted a three home team players and a bunch of others I had no knowledge of. As it turns out, all of the people who knew what they were doing and drafted the right players (many of whom have injured themselves), are not faring well. Whereas I, who had next to no idea what I was doing, now have the best record and beat my last opponent by 83 points. Does anyone else play fantasy football? I'm a huge football fan, and the sport (to me) doesn't need any extra to be compelling. However, I'm also not the guy who knows anybody's stats or even many players beyond team's quarterbacks. And while I thought that this would make me care more about these other players and what they're doing week to week, it just makes me look at my phone a little more on Thursday and Monday nights, and on Sunday.

It's part of your initiation as an intern. You're not allowed to connect to the school network with your personal laptop, which works significantly better than this POS that we only keep around to issue to student teachers." I figured out that if I open IE I can get the link, because it's not a problem in other browsers. So now I just have to figure out how to get my login info off of my 10 year old school issued laptop so I can use it on my personal computer.

While teaching a lesson today on the Federal Budget and expounding on Social Security to answer a student's question, I said something like: "...so all of you that have jobs are paying into it now. Theoretically, when you're 65 1/2, you can pull out." Thank God it was senior civics and we all sort of chortled (including my cooperating teacher) instead of having to reign in 34 freshman who still make fart noises and laugh at poo-poo jokes.

In about:config for firefox, the network.proxy.type setting is on 5 "use system settings" and locked. It should be on 4 "Auto detect proxy settings". When I try to get to the wireless network sign in page (by putting in another website and it automatically redirecting), it comes up with this message: This Connection is Untrusted You have asked Firefox to connect securely to www.yahoo.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.What Should I Do?If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate. -- This is the issue. I will mention that I can circumvent the issue by plugging in to the network cable and firefox works fine.

I'm trying to allow my computer to log on to the network internet at the school I'm working for, but my proxy settings are all out of whack. What's more, they're locked, so I can't change them. Further, I can't access the "local-settings.js" file which is supposedly where I'm supposed to be able to unlock them. I've been reduced to using my phone as a hotspot, or plugging in with a network cable which are both amateur moves. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I know your smarmy nostagic self has kept that stuff around somewhere. I just thought you might say that they're inaccessible anymore. Also, you didn't answer my question.
