I think the EC courtyard piece is Transparent Horizons. I might be alone, but I actually kind of like the great sail. And it is supposed to make the Green rotating doors operable by average nerds on windy days, although from personal experience I'm not sure it's really helping that much. I think the Stata complex could be considered "fair game" as well.
But MIT should keep the geometric structure near room 2-190. That's not insanely ugly and it's useful. We had a picnic there once, if I recall correctly. That was also an occasional destination for outdoor rehearsals in Concert Choir.
You don't travel across the country to pull off a hack without serious planning. Hopefully they'll come up with a clever response in a few months' time.
I completely understand that it would take time to plan a hack to retrieve the cannon. I would think, though, that the left coasters would want to take the time to plan something rather than flying cross-country to retrieve the cannon immediately. It was at Harvey Mudd for quite a while last time, and that's a heck of a lot closer. I'd have found it a lot more interesting if the cannon had been clandestinely retrieved 3 or 4 months from now.
Hmm... I wonder if it's possible to metahack their hack and get them to take something that MIT hackers plant somewhere on campus? Or replace the object they plan to take with a forged dulicate? Might require too much recon work, but I'm sure there are some MIT alumi in the NSA. :)

(btw, grant proposal #1 of 2 is submitted... Yea!)
I wonder if caltech is going to retaliate. What would they move from MIT? the great sail?
They're welcome to it, provided they take Transparent Horizons, too.

Does anyone elsefind it a little lame that they didn't at least try to reclaim the cannon in a hack? Seems like they started off by admitting defeat.
