Comment Monash University (Score 1) 432

Support for linux is reasonably at my uni (Monash). They even have instructions for connecting to their wireless networks under linux. Unfortunately, Meego (which is what I run on the netbook I take to uni) doesn't seem to want to play nice with the TTLS system that they use. A few gripes though: 1) If I want to hand in essays they have to be in .doc or .docx format. Thankfully I don't have to write many (maths major), but it would be nice to see ODF formats added to the lists of acceptable file formats. There are plugins for word that would make this trivial to fix. 2) All the computer labs claim to have both Windows XP and Scientific Linux, but the few times I've booted into Scientific Linux it hasn't worked. Why even bother advertising it?

I have a feeling that idea came from the wonderful little show that rev3 produced during its infancy, The Broken. Back when Rev3 was tiny, they had The Broken which was Kevin Rose and Dan Huard doing stupid stuff with computers basically. In one episode their hacker friend Ramzi made a thermite based hard drive self destruct button on his laptop. It's a great show, so go watch it if you're in the mood. http://revision3.com/thebroken
