stevestojan Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Gotta Love FoxNews. Rarely do you get to see the word "pussies" from a major news outlet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Just wait until they get hit with charges of being terrorists 38 years may seem harsh, but I don't disagree with most of the charges like burglary, and fraud Just wait thought, Microsoft or another computer company will have them lined up with 6 figure jobs when they get released to work for them with their skills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These kids have just struck the jackpot, they can only hope this gets more media coverage and the computer community will be bidding for their services.

the_franchise Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I don't think that stealing teachers ID's and password along with stealing a copy of the schools master key is quite the same as hacking into the computer system. If you got the teachers log in information it seems like the real hard part would be getting into and out of the school unnoticed. Sentence is kind of much, but they are 18 and should have thought about the consequences. 38 years no, Probation for a few years and a ton of community service, sure. This serves as a reminder, if you are going to change you grades, dont make yourself a straight A student, just pump it up a couple points and get your average a little higher .

Cugalabanza Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 ...38 years no, Probation for a few years and a ton of community service, sure... Their parents are rich. This is probably what they will walk with. Just look at them smiling their privelaged asses off in the booking photos. They believe that nothing really bad in this world can touch them.

agilen Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Exactly! These kids have just struck the jackpot, they can only hope this gets more media coverage and the computer community will be bidding for their services. Eh, it doesn't sound like they did anything special. They physically broke into the school, and probably just found a teacher's password on a post-it note. These dudes were pulling C's and D's in high school AP courses....probably not the kind of kids that M$ and the like are going to hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyT Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Old shtick. Matthew Broderick did this in the '80s. Also... I heard that, as part of the plea bargain, they have to legally change their names to include an *. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philly McButterpants Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Maybe if these two morons put as much effort in to actually earning the grades as they did towards cheating, they would be better off. I don't think 38 years is too much time. My son is a straight A student, and works his a$$ off for it . . . I'd be PO'd if i worked as hard as he does and some stiff hacked into the system and gave himself the Regent's scholarship that I had earned . . . Let 'em rot . . .

apuszczalowski Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I don't know if it said anywhere that they stole teachers passwords to gain access For punishment, maybe they should also make them repeat their highschool education since they may have cheated all throughout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
