Again that's what alt accounts are for.We've had this discussion many times.
That is what having many alt accounts are for. My college had a law against it as well, but we used fake accounts to keep in touch between student/teacher. Our main accounts with our real names and such were used legit. With fake names you didn't know who was who.
I've had 5 fake accounts since before facebook was even popular when myspace was the thing. I never liked myspace since it was more kiddies and facebook was originally more college based.
I also have 4 fake accounts on google plus.
And here is the info, you want to sign up for multiple fake google plus accounts and need to get real names and such. well if you can't think up good names then use this. http://ssdi.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi
type in a name or 2 and you can get full info for your new social media fake persona screenshot example: http://camelot.bluecherry.net/ssiexample.jpg even down to the social security number, but ssn's aren't required on social media.
So enjoy setting up fake accounts and using those to interact with your teachers and such.
And yes it does work I've had multiple fake accounts along with a real account on facebook and google plus, my google plus fakes weren't purged like the rest were cause my fakes look real and not some obvious fake with names like duke nukem or whatnot of course it will get deleted.
Even after this law passes it won't stop us from staying in touch with teachers and students as those of us that know, use these methods. Including both students and teachers.

works great for me, but I also wont use anything less than a dual core processor for my recorder.

Re:Netstatwell in freenet(and i thought in MUTE too, but maybe not) the fact that the informationis encrypted and uses middle men tries to fix this...
A Freenet Example:
you request song.mp3, which happens to be on node A... to get that file, you talk with nodes b, who talks to C who talks to A, who returns song.mp3 in little chunks in 'reverse-search order'(that is a-> c-> b-> you, the reverse of how you found it). Sine the info in encrypted, nodes B and C don't know what they are passing, and they way it is set up, is that you can't tell if node B is the originator of the file, or just someone passing it along.The Freenet Fork project, version 3 (and functional!)

Re:Isn't this transcribed anyway?
Well, Slashdot USED to support unicode (by way of &unicodeoffset;), but in a move of sheer brilliance, someone made just about every form that takes user input strip most HTML &entities. Since Slashdot doesn't provide a charset specification for its pages, this removes any portable way to post anything but pure 7-bit ascii. (Not that I'm bitter or anything
:)
Here's a couple of alternatives, though:
* echo +BBQEPAQ4BEIEQAQ4BDk +BCEEOgQ7BE8EQAQ+BDI | iconv -f utf-7 -t utf-8
(or replace utf-8 with whatever charset your terminal can render. uxterm or xterm -u8 with a decent font (I use -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c -60-iso10646-1) should be able to render it)
* http://halcyon.bluecherry.net/~rain/dmitry.html -- Let your browser do the work. This is probably the easiest bet if your browser supports UTF-8 (it should) and you have Cyrillic fonts installed.

Re:Replace JPEG!
I posted this yesterday (and even got trolled!) My example isn't a good one--it works best with photos, but I don't have any handy that aren't copywritten by someone else and I don't have a digital camera handy.
Here's the post again:
Encoding image data in Ogg Vorbis audio streams:
Written by zinx:
http://halcyon.bluecherry.net/~rain/oggpic/ogg2yuv
http://halcyon.bluecherry.net/~rain/oggpic/yuv2ogg
The quality is better than you might expect, and they're fun to listen to! (Note: requires imagemagick, cat, ogg123, and oggenc.)
(sample data is available in the same directory, http://halcyon.bluecherry.net/~rain/oggpic/, if you're too lazy or lack the resources to do it yourself.)
Note that this is meant to be interesting rather than practical. It's a hack. But, like I said, the images are fun to listen to... (You can just use convert and play the sound as raw 8-bit samples if you want to listen to some images without the ogg step.) While this should be obvious, it apparently wasn't to someone yesterday.
Have fun! -

Re:They should do well with this...
> IMHO, it's time to build a lossy format for storing graphics similar to Ogg Vorbis. Perhaps the video codec Ogg just released can be used to make reasonable single-framed movies? Anyone familiar with the format care to comment?

Mirror of the C64
I hadn't seen the C64 before, but since its wimpy 38400bps link is slashdotted right now, I mirrored it here.
It's not quite the same, though, seeing as I don't have a C64 to mirror it on ;) -
Why the PERL script?!
From the website:
The ASCII Generator program did not care what my supply actually was, so it just used as many of each letter as it deemed necessary. As a result, the output (which was 140 letters wide and 240 letters high) did not come close to matching the letter supply I actually had.
Maybe it's just me, but I think you could have saved some time and just resized the tiny jpeg you used for input.
How do you spell "DUH!" in ASCII art? -
Another Mirror
I've thrown up another mirror at http://ericharshbarger.bluecherry.net/. I'm mirroring the entire site (I say in the present progressive because the mirror is still running--the posted site is quite saturated), and the portion that's linked to in the article (effectively here)
As I don't have loads of bandwidth, I'd like to ask that other people mirror it and post their mirrors as well.
Please refrain from killing the server :) -

zsh promptsI figured I'd throw together my zsh prompts for consumption by the masses. Since
/.'s comment code would undoubtedly devour it with great prejudice, I'll throw you here instead--there's an html and a png sample as well as the relevant chunk from my zshrc.All of these prompts have a lot of (what some would call superflous) information in them--I usually use prompt1, and I use all of the information it provides me on a regular basis. zsh's RPROMPT feature (which allows you to have part of the prompt tacked onto the right side of the terminal) is especially handy here, as it makes everything feel less cluttered. (There's no way in hell I'd have all that information otherwise--I'd be rather annoyed to have half of my screen real-estate gobbled up mercilessly by my prompt.)
I'm of the opinion that those who complain about prompts with lots of information are
- masochists (no, I LIKE having to whip out 3 or 4 commands every time I want to know some information I use on a regular basis!)
- lazy/inexperienced (Yeah, I could do that, but I lack the ambition/knowledge to do that and I'm jealous)
- several times my age (back in MY day, we didn't have any of these newfangled monitor things--hell, my tractor only had one prompt, and that was for gas!
Just my .02 (since I like complaining :)

A standard mirror...
Here's a standard mirror of the beast, since (as posted earlier), the site has a limit of 60 anonymous connections, and I didn't notice any mirror that wasn't FreeNet based.
HTTP: http://www.bluecherry.net/~rain/shasm.tgz
FTP: ftp://ftp.bluecherry.net/pub/misc/shasm.tgz
Our FTP server has a limit of 15 anonymous users, so I'd highly recommend using the HTTP mirror unless some BOFH firewalled port 80 outbound. (I've seen it happen!).
