<p>I have to go :/ because I know that if I were tempted by a situation where I'd be able to find out my decision early (and I hadn't heard these recent MBA-program rejections), I'd have a hard time convincing myself that I shouldn't do it, and just wait.</p>
<p>I have to go >_< at the universities, because if the decisions are up and viewable (which wasn't the case for all at the other MBA-program, I know), WHY are they making the applicants wait longer? I hate how it seems that admissions offices are toying with their applicants, and then get to be high and mighty when a desperate student looks early when given the chance.</p>
<p>And I have to 9_9 at the students, because honestly, as tempting as it is, don't you think an MBA program, of all programs, would be concerned about ethics, current business practices aside?</p>
<p>Although I admit I am not 100% certain that I wouldn't do what these students did, I have to agree with Stanford's decision on the case, something like hacking or even taking advantage of a loophole and poor security (the case here) is a serious ethics violation.</p>
<p>I am glad they are being serious about it. No one would dare do this again</p>
<p>Hmm... If I recall correctly, there was no "hacking" involved per se. All they did was look at the HTML and find an address that was there for the looking and open to everyone. Now, if they cracked into the administration network or something and altered code in some security hole or something in the network... that I would call unethical.</p>
<p>Yeah, this is serious business, but the website to see the admission decision was in plain view to any computer geek. Ever since I've been working those notpr0n riddles, I've been checking websites for easter eggs and stuff just for kicks. On any website I go to, I can just right click and click "View Source" to see the HTML. That's all they had to do if I recall correctly. I think Stanford are a bunch of Douchefaces that should appologize for blaming their crappy programming on a bunch of bright anxious kids.</p>
<p>what the hell is this not pron riddle? I dont get even where to begin</p>
<p>The riddle can be found here: <a href="http://deathball.net/notpron/notpron.htm%5B/url%5D">http://deathball.net/notpron/notpron.htm</a></p>
<p>It's really hard. I got through like 20 before I stopped so I could study for APs and stuff.</p>
