I forgot about this, a brief story;
I'm sitting at school with a good friend of mine. He's going through his programming class homework and I'm finishing off Xenocide. Anyways, he finds a certain sheet, gives a brief laugh, hands it to me :
Points to a line on the page
"Thought you should read this"
I look over the page. Guidelines for computer use at his school. List seems pretty normal 'If you notice damage on a computer, immediately point it out or you will be blamed."
So on and so forth.
Second last paragragh, list of reasons you can get kicked out of school. Last reason is defined as 'Hacking'.
I laugh briefly -- who's gonna hack in a high school Flash programming course ?
'What Hacking is'
I don't remember everything from the list, but it included such
hacking crimes as :
Downloading software to run MP3s
Downloading MP3s
Using the Internet for reasons other than immediate school work
And finally, the last one in the list, the perfect one :
Changing the windows wall paper.
Yes, boys and girls, you too can be a hacker ! Just change your windows wallpaper and you ARE A HACKER ! U R A L33T #4XX0R* !
I'm gonna get that sheet off him and scan it next tuesday.
