Well, IMHO, the admins at RPI (especially if Joel is still there) are really out to make examples of people. My own personal experience was when I was working there for the admin office. I had a personal machine hooked up to their network (authorized by them) where I was running a personal web site for network security. They (the tech people, NOT the campus security people) snatched my computer because there was "suspicious encrypted connections" coming to and from my box.. No warrant, no warning, no nothing. Joel then tried to run me up and down the wire saying how they were going to "make an example of me when the FBI got there"... insanity. :) As soon as Joel realized that it wasn't actually RPI's computer they had grabbed, but my own personal equpiment, and that I was threatening to sue for illegal search and seizure, he sang a different tune... was still scary that the RPI folks wanted to "make an example of me" because they saw encrypted traffic on box.. *sigh* :)
