What's the point of rooting a server and making it obvious? These are the ones that get noticed and cleaned. It's the ones who did it quietly that sit around for years!
Yea, because one bitch on slashdot spending 2 minutes writing such a post is really detracting from figuring out "hey how can we stop this from happening again"
I'm pretty sure the people that actually matter won't be found on slashdot poking fun at everyone else.
You would have to put the object into a ballistic path that meets at vectors as close as possible. Of course, you still have the issues I outlined above, in addition to dealing with the object not dragging it right back down on it's ballistic.
(realized i should explain for those that don't get it)
The force applied to the craft by the accelerator will also act against the accelerator. Firing the right way, it would drop the accelerator right out of orbit (it would impart it's velocity into the craft, leaving it with less than needed to maintain orbit, crashing down). Fired the other direction, and the exact reverse would be seen - the accelerator would "push" off of the craft, accelerating and gaining altitude, but the craft would then fall quite ungracefully.
... in which case Newton's Laws would adequately describe the reasons why your ultra-expensive orbital mass driver is now an ultra-expensive meteor shower.
This wouldn't stop devices in the room from talking. Mesh or ad-hoc networks with students collaberating over them...
But I have to say... if they go to such measures you may just be doing something wrong! Nobody would go through such extents for that kind of massively organized cheating.

You did read the page, right? It's stated plainly that they will be putting up a means for previous customers to get their stuff.
The silicon can, yes - but not all the other things attached to it.
... and you're stupid enough to reply back with that? Let me guess, you ran it. Fuck off.
Most of the ones I've seen (that we can trace back to the intrusion point) are the fault of bad PHP code, honestly. Still.
So if someone didn't write down the law of Gravity, we would all be an amorphous cloud of particles?
Laws put an observed truth down into words. Whether or not this is done doesn't effect that the observed truth is still there.
I'd like to see stuff start getting tougher.
When that 2Tb SSD can fall 4 stories (while in use) and carry on without even noticing, then I start getting tingles...
Here's a better fix:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/?d? bs=512 count=1
Fucking idiots.

That's what you get for using Ubuntu on a server!
Indeed.
Who the fuck calls that superuser?

I've seen far too many rooted servers to agree with you about the deployment issue.
Easy.
There should be no default password.
Remote access should be refused by default. Make the tech get off his ass to do the initial setup and the problem goes away.
They fell off the graph hole.
The door is over there. You can ask for a refund too, I'm sure.

Only at a ridiculously low pressure...
(mach is dependent on the speed of sound, which is dependent on the atmospheric temperature and pressure)
Nope. It might be a Gaussian Accelerator or something like that, but it's no rifle. I'd hate to be spun like that on launch :)
Indeed. Isn't this a mass driver?
Wow, the IRS has a building in Japan!?
It is. More like herpes. You'll never get rid of it, though it might appear to go away or get better from time to time.
But nothing will change the fact that it's slowly but surely doing permanent neural damage.

Wow, WTF is wrong with the mods? I'm 0 troll, you are 1 flamebait :/
