Absolutely. A freind of mine broke his Nethack addiction by compiling Wish-hack. When wishes are plentiful the game loses its allure. Nethack is hardcore... without the challenge it loses its grip on you.
Nothing meaningful, I just needed to 'say yoho' in honor of Mr. Adams. I played the conversions of many of his games for the TI-99/4A home computer. Thank you, Scott Adams!
Ummm, no. As one of those people who would benefit from a quiet fix rather than a public release, I can assure you that I am neither abusive nor evil, and far from affluent. Most behind the scenes university employees are just regular working guys/gals, not ivory tower types or fat cats who light cigars with $100 bills. Trust me, we don't work at a public institution for the money.
And please don't use your version of scripture to back up your point. I'm a fundamentalist Christian, and I find that terribly offensive. Here's what you misquoted:
1 Timothy 6:10 - For the *love* of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. (*'s are mine.)
You can have money and not love it. You can be successful and still serve God faithfully. You can be dirt poor and still exhibit the sort of pride in yourself that the passage from Matthew 19 you reference is referring to.
If your institution is anything like the one I work for, they will be able to recover logs from full and incremental backups for more than a year.
I think you are much better off seeking clemency from your school's CIO or similar officer. Claim that you heard about the exploit, and tested it out of curiosity and doubt. I can't speak for other schools, but I know the management staff here well enough to know that they'd rather hear about the problem and get it fixed than punish the whistle-blower.

That comment shows the best historical knowledge of OMM of any here so far.
