The Fleming Cannon Hack, Part I
It's old news by now, but MIT's answer to CalTech's challenge is worth repeating. It's also weird to think that yet another CPW has come and gone.
I wouldn't have been able to appreciate a hack on Caltech's campus, having never been there myself, but I find it easy to appreciate a 3-ton cannon from California (complete with Brass Rat) on MIT's campus. Well done, hackers. Brilliant! Hell, I'd buy one of your t-shirts if I had any idea what they looked like. I hear you need the money.
So what happens to the cannon now? Should we keep it? Can we keep it? If history is any indication, MIT might want to.
