Im not an expert with this kind of thing by any means
but isn't there a chance that it could cause damage to more advanced devices?
anyone have any ideas how they get around that?
i had the same thing happen to me when i was 15.
I explained the security flaw, but they didn't understand a word i was saying. I ended up being suspended for three days and they deleted my login.
Naturaly being 15 i wasn't to happy and used an apple computer to create an admin account.
i spent the rest of my last year at the jr high (freshman are at the jr high at the school i went to) making the IT guy's (just some old guy who didn't know much about modern security) life a living hell.
this isn't the first time ive herd of this, im actualy a junior and i was thinking about joining the help desk at where i work now... but maybe thats not such a good idea.
does anyone have any suggestions for what i should do for a starting job while im in school (most of my schooling is online so i dont have to worry about conflicting schedules)

this really makes me question the reliability of slashdot... i would feel much better if i knew that they pulled it or updated it saying it was fake
