Felony Charges For H.S. Hacking

jayrtfm writes "Last year the Kurtztown Area High School approved a program which gave every student an iBook. Now 13 students face felony charges for violating the district's usage policy." From the article: "Shrawder said the secret password '50Trexler,' was widely-known among the student body and distributed early in the school year. It allowed between 80 and 100 students to reconfigure their laptops, he said. The more computer-savvy students began to disable the administrations' ability to spy on the students' computer use. For others, it became a game, trying to outsmart the administration and compete with fellow students who held the secret, Shrawder said."

    Back in my senior year of high school (wow, 4 years already

    Oh, bite me, would you? Just because some of us have been out of HS for a few, ahem, months longer than you doesn't make us old. Why in my day, I used to walk 10 miles barefoot in the snow, uphill both ways just to get to school. We then had to chop up some firewood to get the one-room schoolhouse up to a comfy 20 degrees, Fahrenheit! Our lunch consisted of dirt and, man, were we glad to get it. So, please just spare me your smugness, you lil whippersnapper.
