    He also invented internet, socks and parachutes. All while fighting ninjas.

    Go there. Read the tutorials. Ask in the forums.

    You are welcome.

    What if they ask for sex then? How much is your dignity worth?

    Some potential employers might demand you to take them off, and then make them a lap-dance.

    Come on!

    You are incorrect in 3 ways. First, no one gives rats fuck. They are too small.

    Second, I do care about what he thinks.

    Third, it's "anyway", not "anyways".

    Of course a good systems manager would not accept help from a student. He's little incentive; he'll get paid the same no matter what. And now he has to manage the machines AND teach something to a student.

    That is why I also said "to the right University demon".

    The trick is not talking to them, but to find someone managing money, not very tech-savy, and willing to make merits. One for who "radio" and "wifi" are very similar. You have to make them take you to the network guy and tell him "this student will be helping you from now on". Then they can go to their bosses and say "I got a new network guy FOR FREE! Ain't I awesome".

    "A handful of geniuses surrounded by a legion of idiots" describes the whole human race, not just anonimous. Any human organization - be it a corporation, a country, or a classroom - with a big enough number of members will look like that.

    What world do you live in where Universities have competent IT staff?

    That's why you need the magic words: "I'll do it for free". Otherwise the enchantment doesn't work.

    In all Universities there is an "Inner Circle" formed by network admins, who are impervious to proxy filtering.

    The incantation to enter that select group is:

    "Hey, I'd like to help with the university network maintenance. Can I do it as a practice? I'll do it for free."

    This psalm recited to the right university demon will get you access to the University's network system. With luck, in 1 or 2 months you will have the relevant network keys/info. Probably you will have the rights to whitelist the pages you want.

    Then move out of there.

    You can't just tell two people not to talk to each other. The same way you can't tell them to pray to a particular god or only have sex in a certain way.
