Cube House
drkanta writes "Hey, I decided to decorate my cube for a holiday decoration contest. Well, I went all out and had a lot of fun and turned my cube into a house. I thought it was very very funny. What bugged me was that some people asked me where I saw this before to get my idea. What? Saw something like this before? My question is: has anyone done something like this before?" -
Books on the History of Hacking?
heliocentric asks: "I have been asked to speak the upcoming SIGCSE conference of the ACM and I would like to give a presentation on the history of hacking. I'm thinking about security incidents that have altered either Computer Science as a whole or set precedence for legal actions. I have been following this subject for years and I have compiled several useful links, but I'm wondering why a book on this subject hasn't been written? Yes, it would go out of date the moment it hits the press, but wouldn't it stand up better than so-called hacker guides that show how to exploit 1980s telephone systems that are being printed today? I'm not looking for links about this subject (I guess they wouldn't be a bad thing at this point) but information about hold-in-your-hand books covering this subject. I'm looking at this presentation as a college researcher should, you want many and diverse resources - entirely relying on the Internet for sources does not make for good research."
