In the cases cited under the CFAA (such as https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=124545279862007...) it seems the employee deleted data and private info. In this case, no data was deleted or other computing property damaged it just became unreachable.
I'm curious as to what law, exactly, they would be breaking. Sabotage in the US code is defined mostly in terms of war material and damages done to physical "national defense" properties. Certainly an employee would be fired and sued by the company, but is deliberately changing a routing policy (and not something like a worm or virus that deletes or otherwise degrades hardware and software) a crime?
There is Phil, the free crossword maker http://www.keiranking.com/apps/phil/ but I haven't had the best luck with its automated fill. Lately I've been using Crossfire http://beekeeperlabs.com/crossfire/ to make puzzles and its auto fill is quite versatile, even if some of the choices can be iffy (but easily fixed with some manual tweaking). You can even provide your own custom dictionary for it to use in the fill.
Writing your own random number generator can be a lot of fun. Lots of sources of entropy out there. Inspired by lavarand[0], I wrote an RNG in Python based on the output of the Global Conscousness Dot[1] (which is a ridiculous project in its own right). There's a lot of ways to visualize and ascertain how "random" your numbers are as well, whether plotting Pearson's with matplotlib or using a command line tool like ent[2] to calculate the degree of entropy.
There is something absolutely magical and enchanting about Dead-related shows. I went to dead & Company at Citi Field last week and seeing a parking filled with tents, converted buses, hybrid structures, and all sorts of creative mayhem was so refreshing and rejuvenating - it has the same electricity as a carnival. You meet folks from all walks of life, some are selling t-shirts or glass or prints they made, others just having a little stand set up to play singing bowls...I lived the road lifestyle and know its certainly no rose garden, with a not-insignificant amount of people falling into the ditch of drugs and debasement, but it's certainly presents a compelling and inspiring alternative to the world many inhabit.
They failed an inspection and mishandled waste byproducts - but also after an "unknown" pneumonia-like respiratory disease starting spreading in the area around D.C
If you read past the first two paragraphs you'd realize this was an ironical statement. But I guess this is HN now, where everything's made up and the points don't matter.
