Correcting an incorrect system time requires pleading
with admin, or cracking the admin password (easier)

In one of the labs, USB drives (flash memory) are banned,
"because they might have viruses". They permit floppies,
and the CMOS is set to boot from floppy!

If I want to use the DDJ "algorithms books" CD-ROM, then
I need to install the access software, and hide it or
remove all trace of it when I'm done.

One of the campuses has a unix box that we host some
websites on. The central administration has declared
that that has to go, and that ALL faculty websites
must be designed and administered by them.


There are NO gruntled employees here.
