After visiting the Penn State Collegian site, I was at first appalled, then gratified. As an older programmer (>35) I am happy to see that younger kids are learning nothing in school. This is great for us old guys, because now we don't have to worry about you young punks taking over our jobs.
There's am old saying in law enforcement. "Where one man can go, another man can go". If the crooks get motorcycles, the cops get motorcycles. If the DEA gets high resolution radar, the drug dealers get the same. Everyone gets so uptight about cracking and monitoring of computer networks, but this is the same thing. If someone puts a monitor on my box, I put a blocker on the monitor, and so on ad infinitum. In the end its about trust. If you have to work with someone you can't trust, you need to protect yourself. If you can't trust anyone you work with, you should do some serious thinking about why that is.

By far and away the most awesome thing I have seen in a long time. I love how www.microsoft.com has ICMP blocked!
