• @"My roommates just caught me coming out if the bathroom with my phone, and they definitely think I was sexting." Everytime you go to the bathroom, take a picture of whatever you left in the toilet. In fact, go around to various bathrooms and take pictures of other peoples messes. Then when your roommate sneaks a peak at your phone, they'll think you have a scat fetish. They'll never bother you again. Problem solved. Thank me later.

• @Dear IT, people use torrents for reasons other than copyright infringement. This is the writer of that article. I reached out to the IT department to find out what the IT department looks for when busting copyright infringers. From personal experience, I torrented freeware (that had rights under creative commons) on campus last semester and had no problem with IT. I didn't get blocked nor did I receive an e-mail. Whether it was because it wasn't flagged or that it was freeware, I have no idea. But know that we (or at least some of us) are looking into it.
