I'm a 16 year old high school student who did a few dumb things without malicious intent, the details of which can be read here.
My punishment was originally supposed to be 8 days and etc., but was eventually changed to:
-5 days suspension (including from my advanced out-of-district math and science center)
-removal from two classes that require the use of computers
-loss of ALL computer priveledges at school
-one week of community service at my school this summer (painting)
-losing my position as webmaster of our schools webpage
Another friend got 5 days for refusing to tell the administrators about me.
UIUC, eh? That's one of the schools on my list, and now it looks even more tempting.
What do you think of it, including but also beyond the obviously delicious goodness of the ACM? How's the CS department, the people, everything else? (I'd e-mail you, but you're an AC..)
You can respond to me at: the_mosher at hotmail dot com (my address i keep around even though i don't like it, for purposes such as this), if you so choose. Thanks.
I went to slashdot and this story wasn't there, logged in and it was, followed the link, and it was already dead. Can anyone cut 'n paste or summarize info for the rest of us? Thanks.
I was looking into which colleges to apply to and had narrowed it down to five, but now it looks like I've got a bit more research to do...
Speaking of which, to all you college-grads and current college students out there: what college(s) would you recommend for computer science studies? I know what the USNews top 18 are, but what are the best from YOUR experiences as far as environment, education, facilities (and open-source-ness)?
I'm willing to wager that those two lots of kits, after sitting around in a warehouse for who-knows-how-long, will sell out within the next month. And thats too short of a time period for me to get the money and make the decision to actually buy one, which is too bad because they look pretty cool (not that I was around back when they were first on sale, or at least not technologically aware).
most disturbing typosquatting I've stumbled upon..

I was attempting to search at google.com and instead I accidentally typed in gogole.com. This sends me to Bill Gate's personal website at microsoft.com, framed in an ad. Weird, eh?
Even stranger, I don't seem to remember an ad the first time I went there...
Yes, I know kernel 2.4 supports/will support USB, but this is, to my knowledge, the first distro to support USB out of the box. Which is fabulous, because USB has been the single most significant harware lack-age in linux.
My only question, however, is whether or not the Red Hat USB support is as integrated with the OS as Windows' is. Specifically, when I plug in a device, will the OS recognize this and do nifty configuration things for me? Anyone know?
