I was like that too until I realized that all media is compressed in some way. A digital recording is only ever as precise as the analog to digital converter that was used in the studio. Analog is only as precise as it's smallest distinguishable change. Eventually enough is enough and I was only wasting money.

Yeah you already do. I'm assuming that you're in a public highschool. This advice becomes bad advice when there is any money on "the table". NEVER do this at a university, private, chartered school, and absolutely NEVER do this to the person who will be giving you a paycheck.

I'll repeat this to be clear to everyone reading this. Do not do anything on a computer or network someone else owns that they don't allow when money you have, or money you could have gotten could be taken away.

When I said break the system I didn't mean become so smart at computers that you can just walk past any barrier in any code. That's impossible. Breaking the system means learning to understand the people who enforce it and working with them to get yourself around it. It means talking to the IT person, getting them to like you, then getting them to show you how to get around a firewall or tunnel out of a network or at least letting you try without getting into huge trouble.

This is the best answer. You didn't go charging through their system with complete disregard. You made the IT staff like you first, then broke through their system. That's social engineering at it finest here people, and is the first skill any great hacker needs to learn. Please do good with this skill.

Please read Charger8283's reply. It's the best one. You're thinking small, how do I break out of their system, that will only land you in trouble. You should think big like how Charger8283 thought and break the system altogether.

If you first find vulnerabilities and report them to your school, later when you find another one you don't tell them about it until they ask. Keep it a secret and use it for a while. Just pretend like you weren't ready to tell them because you didn't understand it yet.

Sometimes it pays off to play nice and stupid.

¿Por que no los dos?

Actually most "responsible" jobs won't drug test because it becomes too difficult to find people who are experienced enough to take on that responsibility. If they did they wouldn't be able to staff a shift. As long as they're well enough to do their work everyone will look the other way.

On the other hand, jobs where the employee is easily replaceable will be more likely to be drug tested. There are people literally begging for the chance at a paycheck. It's not really about safety or morals and more about employers maintaining authority over employees.

Oh you want to get I to a wikipedia battle?

Okay, while Japan and Germany were holding people in slavery and used for experimentation, the allies were doing the exact same thing.

The US High Command knew they had won the war and were eager to drop atomic bombs on cities to show the Soviet Union they had a working bomb and to study the real world effects of a nuclear bomb being dropped on a city. It was as much science as terrorism.

I have a sinking feeling it won't be a safe voyage. Dollars to donuts the IDF sinks it and claims that it was actually a weapons shipment headed to Hamas and not humanitarian aid for Palestinians.

We are horrified by our ancestors actions because we're different than them, we don't understand them. We have the benefit of hindsight and can see the results of their actions. We put ourselves into their world and view it with our standards of today, because we don't want to think we could do the same now that we know better. I can be horrified by the actions of someone in the past but also know that the further back into the pastI look the less I understand of history people.

Part of me thinks it's propaganda not bargaining power. On several occasions the IDF has dropped bombs on or shot the hostages ~~accidentaly~~ wontonly. The message Hamas is maybe trying to send is that the IDF doesn't care about saving the hostages. The IDF just want to eradicate the Palestinians. Then again I'm halfway around the world so what do I really know?
