  1. Can you post the slides after your talk?

  2. I’m assuming this is free and open to the public, yes?

  3. I asked Eben Moglen about IAB’s ID policy. His response:

    The door on 118th street is open during business hours. On A’dam avenue an ID is always required. I don’t know about the doors on the plaza level. You can go through the Law School, where no ID is required until 8pm.

  4. Well, at least you’re doing it for the lulz. Beware, however: some of your subjects might make it necessary for you to retain an Attorney-at-LOL!

  5. I did wonder (but not enough to ask) whether Anonymous of 4chan makes any kind of appearance in your course, discussing the mischief of the social hacks done by /b/ (Rules 1 & 2 notwithstanding*) in contrast to the mischief of the technical hacks done by hackers-known-(by-ESR)-as-crackers or the mischief of the programming hacks done by hackers? Does your presentation’s slide series include ‘an hero’ ‘over 9000′ or ‘accidentally a whole coca cola bottle’?

    *: Rule 33 applies to me here. Signing off:

  6. I will post by slides but I don’t think they will make sense on their own! They are more like visual aids but I will throw em up there.

    Esteban: don’t scare me more than I am already am.

    And yep, we are doing a class on anonymous in the class!

  10. Yes, I agree the Co$ – Anonymous battle is interesting from a sociological point of view. Make sure your laywer knows about this though – you might have a lolsuit from the CoS coming at ya :-) ….

  12. Hey, would you mind telling the people who go to this that Anonymous accepts anyone that wants to join up and protest with us? We aren’t some super sekret clubhouse, anyone can come and go as they wish. Just get yourself a mask, some info, and a sense of lulz and youre free to come party with us.
