Stealth Force Beta

YetAnotherName writes "Geeky college pranks are not just the purview of big name science and technology schools. Now that statutes of limitations have expired, Stealth Force Beta, a group of 'constructive vandals' who operated at New Mexico Tech, tell of their exploits. From crawling around steam tunnels, to mounting complex radio surveillance, to getting trapped in elevator shafts, the stories are inspirational, funny, and probably familiar in some way to many /. readers."

    Such "exploits" are assinine. News? Hardly, publicity at the most! You fell for this?

    "inspirational, funny, and probably familiar" ...not to mention illegal and dangerous to themselves and other people. I understand the concept of pranks, etc., but these kids are putting themselves and others at risk every time they get caught in elevator shafts and the like.

  3. Who cleaned it up? by lizzybarham · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Who is left having to clean up these messes? Probably an unglorified housekeeper or lawn-worker. They're the real heroes.

    That's not a hack, that's sheer idiocy. Drop stuff and it breaks. Whupty-fucking-doo, man.

    I'm not sure if you've noticed this, but somewhere up at the top of the page it says "news for nerds".

    There is no such thing as a nerd who doesn't like the thought of sneaking through steam tunnels; this is just a fact of life.

    If you do not like reading about such things, perhaps you should stay away from Slashdot.

    I bet you're the person who always insists that grammer be correctly employed, aren't ya?
