Hack Your Learning Institution

(BGO) Some students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology seek challenges in many places.?Hacking computers if fun, because it's so convenient.?But there's nothing like the thrill of hacking the roofs and corridors of your school.?"It's a lot like rock climbing or caving," said Jeremy Brown, 27, a computer science graduate student and veteran hacker.?"For us, it's about interrogating the environment, and learning from it." They have a set of guidelines covering everything from preparedness to avoiding capture.?I had to post this, since it brought back many fond memories.?Perhaps a story on this would make an interesting screenplay.

Ah... yes.. I do remember those days. Damn that we finally got caught in the end, but due to our intricate B.S. skills, we got off easy. Those suckaz. Hee hee.

Let this be a lesson to all: don't do it during the day, and make sure all of the administrators aren't meeting in the only classroom that has a clear view of the whole section of the roof you're on. And don't travel in large groups with really tall people wearing the school colors orange and blue. That would just be stupid.
