After clicking some of the articles, he realizes his life won’t be complete unless he himself can post articles and comment on them. He sees the “login” option in the upper-right hand corner. He clicks on the option “Get Account.” After using his MIT certificate to verify he is a student, a short dialog window appears. All he has to provide is a username (he chooses “Scott25”), a password, and a valid email address.
He is taken back to his old page, but the upper-right hand corner now displays his user information.

After getting back, Scott logs back on to beaver buzz. This time he only needs to provide his username and password. He clicks on the “View Recently Discussed” link, which pops up a dialog box, and finds that several of his comments have been replied to.
He checks out the discussion for the “Uprising in Egypt” article.
Finally, later that night Scott reads an interesting article, also about the situation in Egypt. The article details the causes of the uprising. He logs back on and clicks the “News” topic. He decides to “Post New,” which takes him to a simple dialog box. He enters the desired name for the new post, “History of the Egyptian Uprising,” specifies that it will contain an article link, and posts that link in the textbox. He submits the article, which is posted at the top of the “News” page.
Out of curiousity, Scott clicks on the “Events” tab to see if there’s anything interesting. While there isn’t anything particularly exciting happening that night, Scott sees that the LSC is playing a movie tomorrow.
He’s not sure if he’ll go, but he keeps it at the back of his mind. Finally, being an amateur linux hacker, Scott would like to Computers to his favorite topics so he can access it quickly. He clicks the "edit" link next to the "Favorites" tag, at the left-hand topic scroll bar.
Scott notices it's really late, and that since he had oodles of fun on Beaver Buzz getting into flame wars with communists and anarchists he had lost track of time. Satisfied with a day well-procrastinated, Scott goes to bed.
