This was not made publicly known to the media, but engineers at MIT ( volunteer students and professors ) performed several experiments and found serious problems with the tunnel.

A " sold " banner was hung on front of the MIT dome building and a " Welcome to Caltech East: School of the Humanities " banner over the Massachusetts Avenue Entrance.

For about a decade, every student taking the 6. 004 class at MIT was part of a team — each team had one semester to design and build a simple 8 bit CPU out of 7400 series integrated circuits.

Core was so expensive that parts of TX-0's memory were stripped for the TX-2, and what remained of the TX-0 was then given to MIT on permanent loan.

At MIT, Olsen and Anderson noticed something odd: students would line up for hours to get a turn to use the stripped-down TX-0, while largely ignoring a faster IBM machine that was also available.

His book, The Outline of History was read by José Figueres Ferrer in 1920 while at MIT, the Costa Rican revolutionary and 3-time president, who took the book to heart, and permanently abolished the military of Costa Rica in 1948, and banned the military in the Constitution.

The PDP-10 machine AI at MIT, which was running the ITS operating system and which was connected to the Arpanet, provided an early hacker meeting point.

For example, when MIT students surreptitiously put a fake police car atop the dome on MIT's Building 10, that was a hack in this sense, and the students involved were therefore hackers.

The most visible difference in these views was in the design of the MIT hackers ' Incompatible Timesharing System, which deliberately did not have any security measures.

This behavior was not malicious in nature: the MIT hackers did not seek to harm the systems or their users ( although occasional practical jokes were played using the computer systems ).

For the hackers at MIT, it was the labs where the computers were running.

Edgerton was appointed full professor in electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT ) in 1948.

He was especially loved by MIT students for his willingness to teach and his kindness: " The trick to education ," he said, " is to teach people in such a way that they don't realize they're learning until it's too late.
