[ale] Fwd: RE: [ale] GT on slashdot's bad list, boo hoo

[Matthew Brown]

Actually, hadn't put as much thought into the response as you did.
Sorry.

Just reading the venom in the article, noticing they were PO'ed at the
Honor Code, knowing that it's probably really hard for faculty to
actually enforce that, assuming the charge has more legitimacy than the
slashdot article - with the hyperbolic tones.  I was only noting that
the writer of the article/post might have had a bad experience with
[GT|Honor Codes|getting busted] and that this was most likely the source
of his real anger.

Don't know too much about the origins of /., so can't help there.

Did go to Tech, but that's another tale.

Sour grapes?! I didn't get that _at all_. Are you saying the author of
the 
article had sour grapes, or the kid who "cheated?" I kept clicking on
the 
links to read the additional articles, and I think that the kid didn't
really 
"fail" the course (there was some type of negotiation) - and it seems
like 
what the author was writing was sound. Am I missing something? 
Are you a Tech graduate?

P.S. Oooh, maybe you are saying that someone at slashdot had sour grapes
. . 
. what makes you think that (sounds like there is something about the 
background of slashdot that I don't know)

Hello,
I hate to repost Slashdot stories but this one was just a little too
close to home not to ask if anybody had a more local(acurate?)
perspective on this topic. Maybe somebody at tech who knows what honor
code they are refering to, or has even had a run in with it? Of course
the slashdot people were all one sided, but hey what else is new... ;)

Thanks.
