If you recall my incident about "learning my lesson about wireless encryption" and that the school was getting on my ass about torrenting i wasn't doing, well, i figured "hey, the truth will set you free, right?"

Wrong.

The Truth, that i was running it through an unsecured wireless router, apparently means that i was in violation of school policy on a number of points, including having the router at all, not disclosing that i had the router, and running it unencrypted (which is a totally stupid double whammy law, because if you're not allowed to have it at all, why should there be extra punishment for doing something illegal badly?), so now i have a disciplinary hearing, and to attend that hearing, i have to skip my last History class of the semester, or they'll just make a ruling in my absence

This is balls. Nobody knows about those provision except the people in IT who have a grudge against me (probably because i called them out for conducting "witch hunts"), and it's the same old shit about having to read an EULA that no-one ever actually reads, and the fact that i did not act with any bad malice or intent, and it'll probably run me a couple hundred dollars in fines (maybe.).

So my singular mistake continues to snowball against me. But those asshats at IT (and at Community Standards) are going to meet me *really* pissed off at that hearing, something that nobody has had to encounter in a long, long time, not since that college professor who was supervising a student teacher of mine in high school thought he had the authority to tell me what to do.

Wow but what kind of witch hunts were they conducting?

Well, i had contacted IT due to me experiencing slower internet speeds, and their first solution was that it was probably was because i was torrenting, and that i should have my hard-drive re-imaged. Naturally i was a little outraged that they jumped to this conclusion.

Wow... that is stupid.

Good luck.

Morale of the story is don't bring a router to uni when it's against the rules.

Don't throw HCL on them, no matter how much they fine you.

But if you do, make sure you fill a super soaker with it and really go all-out.

That's a crazy weird hydrocarbon.  I was unaware there's an "L" element.  Why would he want throw that on them. ;)

Haha.

Anyway, yeah, don't try and kick their ass during Maths class.
