Thought you guys might want to read this, it's too stupid to be true, but it is. Only peripherally related to computers but you guys are my best friends on the net and I thought you should see this.
You guys remember way back when I told you about the guy who said he had 1 TB of memory (1024 GB) on his PC? And who said his system was two put together? He was expelled for the school year last year for pulling a switch-blade on another kid. (No, our small town is usually not that violent.) Well, this year, I think we're finally rid of him; it's the last straw.
After finding out he was getting expelled for the year, missing the final exams and therefore failing 10th grade, he was none too happy about it. He watched my friend log in to an online game, and saw the password. He used it to change the Email and the pass so only he could use it. Now, my friend did get an Email notifying him about the email change, but he has dial-up and didn't check his Email for a month. This was a registered game that cost him $25 USD.
So, this year, my buddy tells me his account was hacked. He tells me it's gotta be the pompous *censored* that I mentioned in the beginning, so I try to confirm it. A search revealed the email was changed to a Gmail account and it gave the email, but yielded no further results.
Something like out of
Law and Order ensues at school, where I talk nice and try to weasel his Gmail (and specifically, the Gmail) since I thought he used it. Sure enough, the moron invites me to Gmail. He's now a contact of mine. I check the gmail and compare it to the gmail of the guy who stole my friend's account. Sure enough,
they match.
We've notified the principal. Later today, the "hacker" got called in to his office. We weren't present. Later, our principal told us that he played dumb. Tomorrow morning all 3 of us are going to be there (me, friend, and *censored*) with the principal. No weaseling out of this one; he's dead to rights.
And why do I think that he's gone? Because my principal's exact words were "I wanna nail this guy". Ouch,
ice burn. Doesn't get much worse than that if the
principal wants you gone. I'm thinking alternate school for him or something. I mean, the guy chokes me at the end of my Freshman year, he pulled a knife that same year, and now he's stolen basically 25 bucks from my friend. I can only say that I hope he does leave our school -- I fear for my safety otherwise. He was kicked off the Amity Wresting Team for excessive violence. That speaks volumes. (And to top it all off, I swear to God he has my old scientific calculator... but that can't be proven.)
