An interesting mixture of philosophy and progress in the school’s ethos is possibly best summed up by some of the sayings displayed on the walls, such as, “the question of whether a computer can think is like the question of whether a submarine can swim” or “to err is human and to blame it on the computer even more human”. And then again, “I changed my password to ‘incorrect’, so whenever I forget what it is the computer will say ‘your password is incorrect’.”

There’s a joke going around the Internet that says, “I changed my password to ‘incorrect’ so whenever I forget it the computer will say, ‘Your password is incorrect.’” It’s a funny idea, but passwords are actually a serious matter. They’re often the only thing standing between a snoop and your information or money.
