It's tangential because it in no way excuses the student from unauthorized access. It doesn't mean the school didn't have poor password policies. It just means that this is a wholly other debate.

by ux-app 12y ago
the potential downside is why we, as rational adults, treat the access itself as a serious issue and not just a "harmless prank". I have never advocated for punishing this student for all of the potential harm he could have hypoth

by ux-app 12y ago
this is irrelevant. I wonder what would happen in a court if a defendant justified their intrusion with the old "they had a crappy password" defense!

> Yes, but normally we punish people for intent and actual harm not for potential. And this is the key to our disagreement. As a practicing teacher, for me, unauthorised access of my computer by a student is not a harmless prank

Sounds like we agree far more than we disagree. As I've mentioned a couple of times in this thread, I find the involvement of the police a gross overreaction. Where we disagree is in your (and others) charactirisation of this as a harm

I'll preface this by saying that the felony aspect of this case, if accurate, is way out of proportion. I don't know how the US system works, but here in Australia it is very unlikely for the police to be called in for a matter su

No. Some people are asexual. This doesn't make them less human.

I'm not going to argue that refactoring is unnecessary, far from it. However with each refactor there is always the possibility of introducing a hard to debug regression. Even if you follow rigorous TDD, there is no such thing as 100%
