The Business School does it's own thing, it doesn't dictate what the rest of the University does and often doesn't go along with the rest. The Business School is unusual in that it gives students accounts on Exchange, most of the rest of the University uses Exchange for only faculty/staff, not because the B-School did but because a University is an "enterprise" and Exchange is useful enterprise software.

And for many years, the Exchange instances I was aware of did have SMTP and IMAP gateways enabled, no need to set up one's own. I configured pine as an email client to Exchange, just to see if I could.

I don't think you need a Harvard email address to use any of the exploited platforms, you just need an active account in the single-sign-on system called HarvardKey.

Harvard email addresses are not all @harvard.edu, most include the School in the domain name, as your university did. I know faculty/staff can get @harvard.edu aliases, I don't know if any students can.

Anyone taking an Extension School course can request a Google Apps for Harvard account, which includes a @g.harvard.edu Gmail address, but it's only active while you're registered for a course (semester ends, account access ends unless you're registered for a course in the next semester).

Faculty, staff, and students in some other parts of Harvard can also have a @g.harvard.edu account in addition to their School account. Some may prefer to use it because they prefer Gmail over Outlook and/or because it integrates better with Google Calendar, Drive, etc. This fact makes the email address domain name not a great way to differentiate people signed up for one Extension course from "real" students or people employed by the University. So what? An email address is not a validation tool and attending or working at Harvard does not mean someone is great, or even good.

There's no relation, but I'd happily do anything the song describes

The rest of the world is stable because of American military dominance, unfortunately. Our allies don't have to spend as much on defense because of the strength of the American military. That's a fact.

The country where you can shit in the public streets has banned e-cigs? Is this their priority instead of combating leprosy and cholera?

I don't know about these new cards but "A1" and "A2" cards have higher IOPS than others. SanDisk Extreme microSD Cards with A2 IOPS are at least 4000 read and 2000 write.

The troll gave them and every public person this power by posting under an account that could easily be tied back to his real identity. It wasn't super sleuths that put this together.

The less people I have to talk to at a grocery store, the better. I would prefer not seeing a single person. I'm an able individual and can find items and carry them myself. I would be happy if the experience was like an Aldi's where it's basically a warehouse where all the product is on the floor and there is no "stocking." Get annoying people out of the equation.

That's an interesting made-up story.

I also switched to running TinyTinyRSS after Google Reader. I agree that RSS is very helpful for sites that update infrequently and/or at varied times. I also use it for frequently updated sites, it's so much faster to skim headlines and teasers with little to no ads in a feed reader; I tend to be a completist though so I have to fight the urge to skim everything.

When Twitter dropped their RSS feeds, I added a little code takes a Twitter handle as a parameter and returns their tweets as RSS (I already had the necessary API key).

Social media is so much worse for keeping track of the output of multiple sites. On one end, you have algorithms trying to decide what you want to see (or making businesses pay to be seen), on the other you have sites that send multiple tweets for the same story using different lines to "grab you."

As a federal employee you are allowed "limited personal use" of your issued computer during work hours to do things like check your personal e-mail, read the morning news or send a quick tweet if you so choose.
