Student Faces 38 Years In Prison For Hacking Grades
the brown guy writes "An 18-year-old high school student named Omar Kahn is charged with 69 felonies for hacking into a school computer and modifying his grades, among other things. He changed his C, D and F grades to As, and changed 12 other students grades as well. By installing a remote access program on the school's server, Kahn was able to also change his AP scores and distribute test answer keys, and could be looking at a lengthy prison term. Not surprisingly, his parents (who have only recently immigrated to America) have decided not to post the $50,000 bail and Kahn is in jail awaiting trial."
He got caught - unlike me, because I didn't brag about it on a public web site...
"You know, a D turns into a B so easily. You just got greedy."
Just wait until they find out what he has done to WOPR.
My humor is probably your flamebait
"You said altering records twice"

Well, if his current modus operandi continues, I suspect the court's records will soon show his list of charges as being:
34 felony counts of awesomeness
11 felony counts of 1337 5ki11z.
7 felony counts of pwning n00bs.
6 felony counts of acting as an electronics deity.
4 felony counts of extreme overclocking.
3 felony counts of proving the Goldbach conjecture.
2 felony counts of saving the world from the Covenant.
1 felony count of conspiracy to pwn.
1 felony count of actually winning a fight against Chuck Norris.

Of course, if he really was a "1337 h4x0r" he'd have only bumped up a few of his grades, not given himself straight "A"s.
Additionally, the trial would have gone something like this: "The charges are ... uhmmm, sorry, but we can't seem to find anything about this guy in our system, hour honor. [mumble] I *know* I saw it yesterday ...[/mumble]"

1 day your hacking grades the next day NORAD just to play a game.
It has been statistically shown that helmets increase the risk of head injury.
That's a good idea. A good way to do this is fill them with people who aren't criminals, then they can't pass on their knowledge of crime to other prisoners. But I think they are doing this already!

Of course it isn't. Unfortunately, we've outlawed all the fun stuff as "cruel and unusual punishment".
