I bought 2 to act as vases for the sweetheart table at our wedding years ago. Thank you!
How on earth did you get two porpoises onto a table?
Clearly, it wasn't on earth, as porpoises are native in the water. Perhaps he had the porpoises on a water table?

Just to be clear, I obtained the passwords (including root) with "crack", but I NEVER used them. I did not ever attempt to log into any account that I was not authorized to use. All I did was to notify the actual administrator of the system about the security issues. The issues being both that even through "shadow passwords" was working properly, one could still obtain encrypted passwords by using "ypcat passwd", and…
I'd still be super careful doing that without explicit written authorisation. You "got away with it", not everybody does. (Although I'll note he admits to having made some "stupid" decisions which perhaps you avoided. And I'm guessing he knowingly or unknowingly pissed off someone powerful enough to push through 3 felony convictions, even if they were borderline enough to be completely expunged 12 years later. You ne…
All very true! My story is from about 10 years before Randal's, but it was after the CFAA was passed so I guess I dodged a bullet.

Oh, and another good story from when I still had the same boss. A few years later I thought I would prank my office-mate (and show how easy it was to spoof email headers). This was back in the days with SMTP didn't have any security. From a hallway computer (not directly traceable to me), I composed a "You're Fired!" email from my boss to my office-mate. My office-mate had an east-European surname that was easy to misspell and I did. So the email bounced back to my boss and my office-mate never saw it. My boss knew right away who was responsible. He laughed.

Very cool! Quality on that scan is great. It's birdwalking a bit, but you posting that also made me check to see if Internet Archive has early editions of Vogel's Practical Organic Chemistry, and they do! Another really cool blast from the past. https://archive.org/details/Practical_Organic_Chemistry_Voge...
From Goldstein's Mechanics textbook, Jabberwocky of "The polhode rolls without slipping on the herpelhode in the invariable plane" (did I remember it right?)
I have no idea how you pulled that one from the cobwebs of undergrad!
