Thirteen Kutztown Area High School students are facing felony charges for tampering with district-issued laptop computers.

According to parent testimony and confirmed by an otherwise vaguely-worded letter from the Kutztown Police Department, students got hold of the system's secret administrative password and reconfigured their computers to achieve greater Internet and network access.

[ Yeah, that'll show 'em! Downloading pr0n will RUIN YOUR LIFE, and if it doesn't WE WILL!

Totally fucking asinine. Take the computers away and suspend the kids for a week or 2. Simultaneously, have a drink and fucking relax. If it comes out that they were h4x0ring the actual school server to change grades or whatever, then fine, that's more serious, but this is some penny-ante shit.

And also, that's a fucking retarded password. It's a little better than HACK_ME, but not much. -k]
