<H1>Anarchy: Lockpicking</H1>
<P>
One of the more interesting examples presented about the "Hacker Ethic" is
that of not allowing locked doors to get in the way of using new 
technology or discovering new things.  The legend holds that at MIT, if
a professor added a lock to his office to stop hackers from using a 
computer, they would crawl into the ceiling tiles and leave a note on
the chair saying "Please don't lock your door." This eventually progressed
to the general tunnel exploring that MIT provided, and how generations
of students would pass along the knowledge they had recieved, to those
who, in their view, were ready to recieve it. Of course, this whole idea
got blown out when the MIT Guide to Lockpicking became generally
available.
<P>
So Lockpicking has this rather odd Symbiosis with computers in some
circles, and you can find examples of that below.
