What would u do if your daughter, once 16, steals the schools aswer's to a exam, gets caught.. and claims that its ok, just because daddy says; "can't be stealing, if its just math's ?..."

I'll be gutted that she thought cheating was the answer and didn't understand she was just cheating herself. But that's different from 0's and 1's that are really just switches on and off. She'd be actually taking something when what we take we can't touch? Data theft over the internet is different from any other crime, although it is punishable with the same or greater sentences that taking without consent.

And I was taught something from a young age which I also am teaching my children, 'It's not what you know but who you know that counts'. Although having some intelligence helps.

BTW I'd withdraw all the end of school trust funds just to make the point.

Nice try.. but most likely the answers to an exam are on the school server, and can be called up on a computer.. ie; 1's and 0's...


This is certainly true.. the best politics are friend politics's.. is a saying here. (translated) But that could lead to dangerous excesses, that can backfire like a devil's fart. Certainly where your daughter is concerned. I am not naming any, because i suspect that you can think of them yourself...

You gotta admit that machine language is just that..... And if it's there for you to take then why not...... No hacking, No decrypting, just there. You can't say that about the Crown Jewels they aren't just there. You have to break the glass.

Ok then, I give up.... I'll teach my kids everything I know about IT. But tell them not to steal anything with out asking me first.
