..at some point on the mpaa site, there has to be an outside link that will eventually lead to a search engine or some other site that discusses the decss code.
Simple. Off of their "related sites" page is a link to Warner Bros. Warner's "search" link allows you to search "the web." Enter DeCSS. Voila.
An interesting idea to make this more "programming-oriented" would be to make not a MUD, but a MOO -- that is, a MUD, Object-Oriented. MOOs tend to be more consistent int their programming language and interface, allowing much greater complexity. It'll also build on any foundations of OO that have been taught in the course already, or serve as an introduction. I did this on the side during HS, and it was amazingly useful.
And as the above poster mentions, it also means you can drag the other departments into the battle, possibly making not only a programming project, but also a neat place for students to hang out.
Picture the neuron as a computer mouse. (no, no wireless mice -- it messes up the analogy) The actual "mouse" part is the head of the neuron, and the cable is the long axon leading off from it. The rubber around the wire in the cable is the glial cell. Actually, the glial cell is shaped more like a fajita(sp?) -- really thin and long, but wrapped several times around the axon. These glial cells are actually a large part of the brain mass, so the discovery that they do something is fairly amazing. Anyways, hope this helps (love putting AP Bio to use..;) - Chmrr

MPAA => foot => mouth. Whee.
Networking vs notworking: only one letter away.
