I'm going out on a limb here because I don't exactly what was posted, but I suspect that in context it was apparent that it was simple name-calling and not an accusation of a crime. If he would've called his teacher a goat fucker, would you really take it seriously? No. Kids at that age try to pick the most hateful thing to say to elicit a reaction. And you know what? Kids of this age already have coping mechanisms in place for when someone calls them a hurtful name.
To be honest, I think this is an overreaction by a vindictive teacher and a staff looking to make an example out of someone, and these kids will suffer a punishment that stretches far into their lifetime for a moment of expressing their frustration to their peers.
This is a rare case where I do think the parents should lawyer up. Don't fuck with a kid's life because you had your feelings hurt when you saw something you were never intended to see.
Playing devil's advocate here, but I'm gonna say they outed him to lend credibility to their story about how the phone was obtained. A lot of people, including myself, thought Apple was employing an all-too-common strategy of co-opting news sites as a means of marketing by "losing" a phone.
To be honest, I'm still not entirely convinced this is wrong.
So frog foam converts light and CO2 into sugar, and yeast converts sugar to alcohol and CO2, it stands to reason that light is alcohol. Now I understand why they call it Light Beer!
Your brakes are hydraulic and your Emergency brake is cable-driven. If you crack a single brake line, your car will happily squirt all of the brake fluid onto the ground and quickly result in total brake failure (all of 'em).
Your Emergency brake is crude, but is there to save your ass if you ever experience a catastrophic failure in the hydraulic system.
Your $500 iPhone would never replace my $30 refurbed Sansa e260 with rockbox installed. It plays more formats, is smaller, runs longer, and I don't have to take out an insurance policy for it if I want to take it biking.
Pedestrians could just cross the street at crosswalks when it's indicated that it's safe. You know, utilize the safety precautions we already have in place instead of mandating that cars make noise. My car already has a device installed to warn pedestrians when it is unsafe to cross. It goes beep beep when I push on the middle of my steering wheel (actually mine shorts out my electrical system, but you know what I'm getting at).
I'll tell you why I desperately want an Android phone, but won't buy one. It's because the carriers have locked-down what is supposed to be a "free, open source, and fully customizable mobile platform". If I get one that is unlocked through other means, it is prohibitively expensive and I'm pretty sure my carrier would still find a way to screw me.
Tens of years ago, someone decided to name something a "magic cookie" and now we have FBI agents talking about "cookies" with solemn and serious faces.
MiB: Pardon me, you seem to have cut our wire.
Contractor: Who are you?
MiB: Oh us, uh, we're nobody.
Contractor: Well, whose wire is this and why hasn't it been documented?
MiB: What wire?
Contractor: This wire right here! Whose wire is this?
MiB: That? That's nobody's
Contractor: Ah HA! So it is yours!
MiB: What's whose now?

for about $7.7 billion in cash
Uh, really? Cash?
I remember the feeling of paranoia wash over me when I first began receiving the penis enlargement emails.
The paranoia has returned, but mostly because of the herky-jerky ads showing pictures of my penis and the names of ex-girlfriends.
You guys getting those?

Interesting, but there's something unsettling about all that plastic.
If you didn't know, US dollars are made from a cotton/linen blend. Much more durable than paper and easier on the environment than plastic.
Because before they were on the lamb...

Or deliberately and needlessly introducing an overly-complicated and restrictive DRM, invoking the fury of angry nerds across the globe. Either one.
Hey, remind me of something: what are you talking about? It's not like network administrators have a magic "prevent DDOS" button
I think the word you're looking for is, "competence." But, you're right. Very rare to find in network admins.
I'll try a different tack. Your E-brake will not make your car go faster in the event that your normal brakes are unavailable to you.
Your brakes are hydraulic and your Emergency brake is cable-driven. If you crack a single brake line, your car will happily squirt all of the brake fluid onto the ground and quickly result in total brake failure (all of 'em).

Yeah, when he jumped the shark, he escaped Earth's gravity.
Then we will drive in the SHADE!
Whups, quoted the wrong parent. Just pretend that I tacked a, "I agree, for example" at the beginning of my post. :)

Thats what she said.
Gotcha by a minute!
What? You can get warez somewhere other than newsgroups? My lawn...get off it!

...does it run linux?
No, it just runs. In Soviet Russia, Linux-running overlord, for one, welcomes you?
