This reminded me of that SHITTY movie WAR GAMES.

OMG LIEK I HAKKED TEH COMPUTER TO CHANGE MEH GRADEZ

Please. Send these idiots to prison to be some guy's bitch.

School/college isn't so much pressure that you have to cheat.

I actually liked War Games... Not the movie, War games!!! Take prisoners, capture the flag.... oh.. Sorry... I went off on a tangent..

If you are stupid enough to get caught, you deserve what you get. I mean really, if you're going to hack computers, never do it from your own system. You have computers in every library, some coffee shops, and so on... not that hacking a system ever crossed my mind, or I planned it or anything...

I'm too lazy right now to RTFA, but did they actually "hack" in? Because at my school you can just go on one of their computers and change the grades.

Our district also has a Flash applet to display the school logo on the site. It's not animated or anything though. :^:

The article didn't really specify or I didn't catch it personally. Probably just cracked a password, I doubt they entered some other way.

If they were stupid enough to get caught, they probably don't know how to hack. If they don't know how to hack and attempt it for the first time cause of some info they found on the Internet, never tested it, etc. then they deserve what they got. Besides, they got bad grades for a reason...hence they were stupid enough to get caught. My two cents.

WTF? :S 38 years? i don't think the guys that were responsible for 9/11 got that(i mean the once they caught).. you don't get that much jail time for rape or acts of terrorism. And now a bunch of nerds get that :S. lol pressure? really? wow people got to put things in perspective. Go to Iraq or Afghanistan or Israel and see what kinda pressure a soldier as to put up with.. kids lol.. it's pretty funny how stupid people can be tho.

It's 38 years because one of them is facing 69 felonies over the course of his 'career'... as you said, it's all about perspective. His accomplice only is facing three years because he had six felonies against him.
