Charges Against High School Hackers Dropped

ZosX writes "According to eSchool News Online, the 13 students from Kutztown, PA originally charged with felonies for hacking have been given a deal, dropping charges in exchange for 15 hours of community service. From the article: 'The probation department realizes this is small potatoes,' said William Bispels, an attorney representing nearly half the accused students. This is great news for the students and their families."

Re:Corporate IT vs Employees

yeah and?
dont like it...go work somewhere else...there are reasons for limits so that idots like yourself dont fuck up the SOE's and we have to spend time reimaging the damn thing and wasting 20-30 minutes. Now have a shitload of these machines 200+ and then you get all sorts of problems if we dont lock em down. Allowing instant messaging, media etc....well are you suppose to be working or talking to your buddies? Do you have an inheret need to watch video's or stream music when it costs the company money and bandwidth which may be dedicated to other things such as terminal services or VOIP?
Its tards like you that make the job harder. Rules are there to keep the peace and not meant to be broken. If your company says no smoking inside of buildings and you say otherwise they will tell you to get fucked. Same applies here.
