    you must not be around the 19-22 yo age group, the way they (we) act, I don't blame people for treating them (us) like children.

    if you want a list of things that grown people would not do that this age group does (myself not included in any of these):
    steal patch cables from the lab I manage (that were connected to machines, and yes I have a way to stop it)
    spit in elevator about once a week
    spit down middle of staircase (I put my hand in it once)
    steal food
    steal/tip over garbage cans
    steal/smash lightbulbs/lightbulb fixtures (maintenance can't even keep them all working for more than a couple days)
    tear wallpaper off hallway walls
    punch holes in doors
    pull fire alarm
    stick gum in elevator and other places
    smash floor indicator in elevator
    fight in hallway, loudly
    run around naked (thankfully I haven't seen it myself)
    steal/damage bikes/parts
    deposit TONS of packing peanuts all over the building (like an entire 50+ foot hallway on each floor covered with them)
    punch holes in walls
    and thats just what I can come up with off the top of my head

    In Charlotte, you get a 10 day suspension for ANYTHING computer related that you are not supposed to do.

    If you think that's bad read on you haven't seen the worst rule yet.

    I was scared my whole time in their school system by this one rule:

    "Rule 25 BOMB THREAT (Responsibility): Students shall not make any notification, false or otherwise (verbal
    or written), indicating the presence of a bomb or explosive on school grounds, school bus or at any school
    activity."

    I read it as if you see a bomb, you cant say anything or you get suspended for IIRC 365+ days minimum if it is other than a false threat (I think that means real but IANAL and I was not about to ask someone)

    heres a link to a shortened version of the rules on their webpage, if you don't believe me:

    Actually, I have tried home routers with the 3rd party firmware. They only get to 20 mbps, and then are unreliable and with NAT they crash if you have over a few hundred connections open with the max at like 4096.
