I can't blame some parents for doing that. Long, LONG ago,
I did chat with one girl in one chat room, who was a student
at Bob Jones University, who was using an AOL dial-up
account through her cell-phone, despite the campus rules,
to get on. She paid for her AOL account a year ahead
of time, and logged on through her cell phone and AOL
account. Cell phones, themselves, are not prohibited at
BJU, just using them to access the Internet, instead of
using the on-campus network. Since modern cell phone
signals are scrambled, I don't see HOW they could
find out you were accessing the Internet via your cell
phone, since they could not eavesdrop on the signal.
Encrypted digital cell phone service has been around
since at LEAST the late 1990s. So short, of using
illegal cell phone jammers, it would be difficult, if
not IMPOSSIBLE, for Bob Jones U, to stop someone
from accessing the Internet from their cell phones, be it
through dial-up, or through faster 3G networks. She got
away with using her cell phone, and AOL accont, becuase
the signal cannot be eavesdropped upon.


I found out that BJU has some of the TIGHEST rules
of any college ever. You are not allowed to watch TV in
the dorms. When you go home to your parents, you are not
allowed to watch any movie above a G rating, or any TV
show above a TV-G rating.

Since I implemented my public VPN server, I have
seen a lot of traffic coming from Bob Jones University,
and now I can see why, with all the DRACONIAN
rules they have. Since some of the P2P TV services
usually have the major U.S. television networks being
rebroadcast by SOMEONE, I am seeing hits into
my VPN server coming from Bob Jones U, so TVU
and TVANTS, where people are rebroadcasting the
TV networks. Since the connection to MY server
is encrypted, that is no POSSIBLE way the admins at
Bob Jones U can find out WHAT is going on. I did
see a lot of traffic from BJU going to the TVU feed of
CBS affiliate KPIX in San Francisco, during the
NCAA basketball tournament. Seems that a lot of
BJU students wanted to tune into the games, without
the University administration knowing about it. All
that University administration would know is that people
were downloading heavily encrypted data packets at the
rate of 420K for each person connected. As the saying
goes, "The book is open, but the pages are in an unreadable
language".

But have you ever talked with an actual girl in an actual room without
money being exchanged?
