This might belong to the High School article. Anyway, I found a few typos: thw, shcool - which is not consistent for a person so self-confident of its written communication skills.
Also, I think you are generalizing from your specific point of view a little too much. For me, the tight rules and directions at my high school fit my character much better and resulted in better grades than the laissez-faire at university.
1. You are never(!) anonymous when posting on the internet. The government (NSA, FBI) can get your ip address, provider, name, address and so on.
2. The problem of posting not anonymously is not that of breaking laws knowingly or unknowingly (see above, they can get you if they want to). It's about the legal stuff you are doing such as "has eaten so many unhealthy hamburgers, now has aching hemorrhoids", "did watch porn alone although married", and so on. You don't want your collegues talking behind your back?
3. You don't need to bomb other countries to spread freedom (which is not freedom but corporate dictatorship). Other countries don't want to be "freed" by american guns and weapons. Most of them had a good time without it.
Obviously, the kid hijacked all the school's computers at once. Only terrorists hijack. This is war time, and this war can go on forever. It's not our choice, it's the terrorists' choice. Move this kid over to Guantanamo Bay!
Bottom line: Although this is satirical, FBI will probably not recognize it as such. This could be dangerous, since all communications are being logged and scanned. But because really sending people to Guantanamo Bay is a "reasonable action" in the current US under Bush, officials won't complain anyway.
Guantanamo Bay: A US place in Cuba, where normal people (suspected terrorists) are held without constitutional rights.
The seller says... and promises not to keep a copy once the sale is done.
Be aware of forgetting the melody immediately after sale.
Otherwise, the RIAA will sue you for keeping an unlicensed copy.
The Constitution specifies that "to promote the progress of science and useful arts," Congress should secure "for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries."
The progress of science and useful arts would have even better, if there was no copyright at all!
Look at your Windows or recent spreadsheet, whatever. If this was copyrighted/patented for 25 years, you would still be using the abacus for your next "royalty fee" calculation or would be stuck with the first but patented solution.
Look how Jpeg, Lzw compression and some other patents destroy progress and support the birth of free formats like Png.
...and now he is getting ridiculous. Or longing for big money.
1. The human genome is still not fully sequenced.
2. Getting a single human DNA 100% sequenced in a reasonable amount of time (say a few months) is science-fiction for years to come. Read the news, other scienticts talk about 2050.
What would it be worth, anyway:
3. Even the exact number of genes is not known yet. Numbers are ranging from 30.000 to 40.000. Let alone what these genes really do!
Some funny comments like that one "a drop of blood on a CD" contain more thruth than Ventner giving interviews.

as some of you do in your comments making fun of the situation.
War is inhuman on either side, and every "real" photo is shocking.
These photos will show a little more of the real war, which has never been shown to the public.
How can this HL2 issue be theft? Did the hacker enter Valve's premises and stole the CD from Gabe Newell's desk?
No! He asked Valve's computers to give him the privileges over the network. And Valve's computers gave him the privileges.
He asked Valve's computers to send him the source code. And they sent him the source code.
Who's fault is this? Valve sent the source code deliberately on request by network.
