    I found the survey of instant messaging interesting:

    AIM - 22 people
    Jabber - 6 people
    YMSG - 4 people
    MSNMS - 3 people

    I thought AIM was for 13 year old girls and pedophiles. And until recently, much of the so-called "Open Courseware" media were of RealMedia format! Fucking Realplayer for fuck's sake!

    Tsk, tsk. Mod MIT -1 overrated. I sure wouldn't pay out my ass to send my kids there.

    Someone got permission to sniff the wireless traffic during an MIT class. The professor: none other than Robert Morris, creator of the first internet worm! The lecture: computer security! I love it.

    I'm sorry, what fuck was that? Was it a few short sentence fragments that amounted to little more than a crappy twitter post? Oh, it was supposed to be a summary? Are you fucking sure about that? Because it doesn't look like anything of the sort. It looks like shit. I'm glad you love it though! Really, really glad! Isn't it crazy that someone would be sniffing of wireless networks in a computer security class? I sure do think so! It's awesome! How about that! Now if only I could get a professional editor to edit my posting before it goes up and maybe I'll be able to approach your level of communication!
