McCarron's Piece O' Mind

I found this interesting story over on John Dvorak's Blog, the story is about a kid who went to jail for telling his friends to hit F5 in hopes to crash a school's server. I was never a fan of the "intelligence" of my teachers when I was a kid, and it appears that the blind is still leading the blind.

On Wednesday morning, Forchione filed a felony criminal charge of disrupting public services against Michael W. Stone, 18, of 13634 Mogadore Ave. NW. Uniontown police arrested the Lake High School senior at the school.

The incident occurred Dec. 2. Using a school computer, Stone created a blog on a Web site that encouraged others to use a link to another site. Once at the second site, Stone told users to “hold down F5 to help crash my school server,” according to police reports.

John also points out other interesting displays of idicoy where changing a URL is hacking and holding down your shift key violates the DMCA. I'd check them out for a few laughs.
