Talk:Roof and tunnel hacking

message: Can anyone shed light on the demise of MIT alum Jack Link? ISTR his body was found under mysterious circumstances in the 1990's that may have been related to roof hacking. Assuming I recall correctly,  this would be worthy of inclusion in the Roof and tunnel hacking#Personal hazards section. <>< tbc 05:39, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Personal Hazards 

message: My perspective may be a little skewed since I've been exposed almost exclusively to MIT hacking, but it seems like this article has a very anti-hacking slant.  Granted, it may be dangerous at times, but at this school at least it's an integral part of the culture and generally looked upon positively, even by many of the faculty.  One solution might be to just make separate articles for hacking at different schools.  Again, I'm probably biased, but at least hacking at MIT warrants its own article just because of its unique character, the wealth of information on the subject aside.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightwork:_A_History_of_Hacks_and_Pranks_at_MIT and the external links on that page.
I'm not a hacker myself, so it would probably be a good idea to get an actual hacker involved in revising this.

thread_title:  Article Neutrality 

message: Has anyone heard of practice of going up into Dropped ceilings as a type of roof/tunnel hacking, it shares may aspects of them. Drop ceilings with a large amount of space (2 feet or more) between the roof (or the bottom of an floor) and the acoustic tiles can be used as a path or enterance to rooms adjacent to the the one a vadder would be in. This works with most thin walls and room dividers, but not for areas where firewalls or Compartmentalization prevent access.
This is made clearer in the article on compartmentalization:
"The idea is to subdivide a structure into "fire compartments", which may contain single or multiple rooms for the purpose of limiting the spread of fire..."
This technique can be used to access rooms and offices that are otherwise inaccessable because of walls.

message: My God, I've yet to read an article that is so blatantly filled with original research. Setting aside some of the very serious dubious claims (neither microwave transmissions nor microwave power transmissions are strong enough to cause any adverse affects in humans), it reads like some sort of nerd fan-cruft. Please don't just list sources and then add whatever you feel like, that isn't how it works. Provide citations for each claim that is out of the ordinary. You can cite the same source multiple times, if need be. Whatever you do, please make it more believable. This could be a good article, if some editors would engage in self-discipline. --Dragon695 (talk) 02:34, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Shameful piece of original research 

message: At best, Rooftopping appears to be worth an additional paragraph with one picture in the present section Roof_and_tunnel_hacking#Roof_hacking. It's just a different version of Roof hacking. 
If a separate article does end up happening, both articles should link to the other in some way(s). Lentower (talk) 15:03, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: Other ways to add Rooftopping

message: There is quite a bit of duplication here with the Urban exploration article, perhaps the content here should be harvested and moved over there?  Or, this article could be just about MIT's roof and tunnel hacking, which might not be notable.  I realize that while the term "roof and tunnel hacking" probably was orginally connected with MIT, the term is used elsewhere, so perhaps it would be better to move the content to Urban Exploration and doing a redirect.
