  1. We're building one by dj245 · · Score: 3, Interesting · on Homebrew Underwater ROV

    Maine Maritime Academy is building a small rover too. Someone on the team had the brilliant idea to use sump pumps for propulsion- they're submersible, they're 12v, and they take the saltwater ok. We're working with our Marine Science and Marine Bio majors and lend them the rover whenever they want it. Currently its running off a tether but hopefully we can get some sort of remote control soon. Waterproofing the batteries seems to be the hardest problem, although various Junkyard Wars shows would have me believe otherwise. This is all mostly for a Society of navel and marine engineers contest every year.

    I disagree. There was a direct link to a webpage with SSN's of every student on the main page at http://www.mma.edu/ Due to student outcry, the SSN's and phone numbers were removed. The page is still linked, however, and still contains home addresses and emails. That page is here

    try This page Last semester this page included SSN's with the home addresses and emails. It also used to have phone numbers. Due to public outcry some of the personal details were removed. But not all. There is no reason this page is linked directly from http://www.mma.edu/ (academics, Student Schedules spring/fall)

  8. My School by dj245 · · Score: 4, Interesting · on HS Students Steal SSNs to Prove They Can
    I suspect it might have something to do with security standards, maybe. My School has information freely available on the home address of every student as well as the email of every student, accesable right from the front page java menu (academics->Student Schedules Spring/fall).

    The scary thing is until very recently (last semester) this information on every student included home phone numbers *and* Social Security numbers. Don't go to my school if you value your privacy. Our IT department is stuck in 1999.
