IIRC, MIT offers a guest login to its network, so being unaffiliated with the school does not mean your access was unauthorized. (Spoofing your MAC address after people kick your machine off the network is another thing, of course. Similarly a spot of B&E with a computer closet, although really I don't think they let anyone graduate without a spot of B&E, so they might have been willing to turn a blind eye to that under other circumstances.)
Andromeda, yr right. Both about the guest login and the B&E requirement for graduation (how else are you going to put random crap on top of the Great Dome?)
