suspension for hacking :(

[Emericana]

well. 3days of no school for me. my friend and i "hacked" our school network and loaded quake 2 on every computer. within no time nearly everysingle person in our grade was playing. that was 3 weeks ago. today they caught me and it was less than pleasent.

the thing is, i didnt even hack in the traditionaly way. all i did was unplug the network cable when it said "loading personal settings" in the windows 2000 dialoge box and it gave us near admin priviliages (ie all we needed to load software)....

oh well live and learn i guess

That sucks big time. 3 days?!?! Thats a little harsh. I'd probably just get 2 hour detention on saturday morning. (Which is sometimes a good thing since then i wouldnt save up hw till 9pm on sunday). Howd they know it was you? Someone ratted?

School is for learning

Maybe it was a day for each week? Oh well, at least he did get do to some fun in school, for me it's just a boring place.

did ur friend get caught too?

 

[Emericana]

ya my friend and i are both getting the punishment...

some friend. they caught him playing. assumed that he was the one who was crashing the networks (which i think is a completly unrelated problem that they are too incompetent to fix) and brought him in. of course he ratted me out in a second.

luckily he gets the same punishement as me

Another case of the ignorant punishing the intelligent.

You shouldn't have done it, but even so.

STOOPID MOVE MAN!

All we do is play it off a CD! Just install the game, then burn the folder! It works perfectly!

Easier to blame you, then to take the network admin to task for not configuring his machines correctly.

hmmm, our computer screens were green when I was in school and the coolest game out was Leisure Suit Larry. We had to find less technological ways to get into trouble.

When I was in school, PONG was new....

(and yes, I had to walk to school, butt naked, six miles, thru five feet of snow, uphill both ways....)

Kids thesedays, complaining that they only get 5GB of disk space. Why, in my day, we were lucky if we got one file, and that was /dev/null!

Yeah, I remember when you had to first load the program each time before you could use it. I think I still have one of those 5 inch floppy drives burried in the closet somewhere.

When I was in skool, we programed with CARDS.

Yep, fed them into to a DEC PDP-8 thru a card reader

batch processing, Man that was to way to compute!

7th grade. ONE computer - Wolfenstein 3d !! and Oregon Trail!!!

Never saw another computer in class again, even during my FIRST stint at college.

I do think I would have gotten into trouble with computer though, if we actually HAD any

Damn, Oregon Trail was a junior high school class project for me. Forgot that blast from the past, thx.

Ahh yes, those were the days...
-"Where you going with that hole punch?"
-"Computer class of course! What else are these things used for?"

...I still fail to see how getting 3 days off of school is punishment.

 

[Gravity Man]

You got to play Quake II in school, and you got 3 days off? Lucky *******!

Since when is playing games in school bad? When I was in HS, we had a teacher who would let us play CS in the lab if we finished early. One day, we stayed after and played until the janitor kicked us out.
