No, the proper response to a teacher confiscating your own personal laptop is "Return my property, or I will report this to the authorities as theft." They can forbid you to use it during class, they can forbid you to connect it to the school network, but confiscating it is theft, and would likely be grand theft.
I wanna see how stupid my school is now.
[QUOTE=FullStreak12;26259445]I wanna see how stupid my school is now.[/QUOTE]
ideal way to do this is to open up command prompt in windows or terminal in linux
[editline]24th November 2010[/editline]
and type commands like "hack nasa"
[editline]24th November 2010[/editline]
and if you are linux savvy, alias it to something with a % bar like apt-get
[editline]24th November 2010[/editline]
so you can type in "hack nasa chromium-browser" and make it look like you are hacking nasa and downloading confidential information :D
No I want to just use something on the school PCs by default.

I know nothing about Linux anyways, I'll try ubuntu perhaps.
mm, i guess you can't do the terminal shit then. just open command prompt and type ones and zeroes and hack nasa and shit

Run CMD and do it then, or take a laptop with Linux and do said thing with Terminal.

That would work, some kid changed his background to a plain black and instantly the kid next to him yells out HACKER!!!!
I remember taking a screen shot of a game multiple times, layering them into a .gif and then converting it into an .apng and taking it to school on my Flash Drive, then set it as my background. Instant "HACKER."
Pfffft, that's nothing, I did print screen and pasted it into paint of my desktop. I then disabled desktop icons and moved the toolbar/taskbar, I don't know the name of it. So anyways, I set it to auto-hide then I went to the bathroom and told the kid next to me to do what ever the teacher says for me. I come back and find they put a paper over my computer that had some MS Office clip-art picture of a computer with text "This computer is off limits"
Its not hard at all to freak out people.

cd C:\
dir /s /x /r /l
It prints out the root structure of each folder including files.
All mighty facepunch, can you recommend some l33t hack codes so I can mess with people? Hopefully i'll be able to create some content tomorrow.

That really intrigued me an I did some research. Apparently they are allowed to do so.

Another thing that schools do is that they put confiscation in their discipline guidelines which parent have to agree to or something in that line of taught.
As for the laptop being confiscated that is clearly abuse. The laptop's owner did absolutely nothing wrong. For confiscation by school authorities to be legal it has to be part of a sanction. A reasonable sanction that is.

in the united states a school cannot confiscate anything. legally you can bring a gun to your school and it can't be confiscated, but there are other legal issues when you start going that far
Oh man, Just disassembled my old laptop (Dell one from Last year that completely died within 12 months) and Salvaged the ram and Hard drive, The Hard Drive is most precious to me, And I must say Dell did a nice job with the design, It's very modular and would be so easy to upgrade or replace parts.

In the UK schools have a right to confiscate something if they deem it necessary.

And In other news, I was called a Skiddie today... By a skiddie.
I would love to post content here but since I attended a IT gymnasium (Swedish school system, yay) where at least 90% of all people were computer literate they actually knew what they were doing.
Every student was provided a personal laptop for their stay there, with a possibility of keeping it afterwards for free.
After the first year I switched to Linux on my laptop. Our IT-tech had told me that their wireless network didn't work with Linux but I figured it was just because they hadn't really tried it. (He also said that you couldn't use anything but Microsoft Outlook to access your mail, which was partially true seeing as it was a Microsoft Exchange mail)
It took me ten minutes or so to figure out the settings for connecting to the wireless, took me a bit longer to get access to my mail though. For some reason the IT-tech decided to disable IMAP access to the Exchange server after half the second year so I had to switch to using the web interface, not sure why but I guess he did it for security reasons.
I actually did create some content myself though when I decided to reinstall Linux after a kernel recompile while half asleep. I just popped in a LiveCD and ran 'rm -rf /' to go out with a bang.
Followed by the realization that I hadn't unmounted my /home partition.
Luckily I keep backups of all important things on my server so I only lost a couple of 3D models and some small C++/C#/Java programs, nothing that couldn't be recreated if I needed it.
TL;DR:
I went to a school where people weren't computer illiterate. 'rm -rf /' was involved, nothing really happened.
And that's about it.
Ffffuck Yes! I was just given a old Gaming PC, It has an AMD x2 Processor (Don't know what model or speed sorry) 2 GB ram and a 200GB Hard drive, Fucking yes! I originally installed Fedora 14 when I got it but then I just went, fuck it, I can't use a desktop OS as a server (I dunno, I don't have much experience with Fedora, Perty though) So I just started installing Arch :v:

Great, I stick the disk in, "Auto boot in 300 seconds", Ok that wouldn't be a problem... If the USB Keyboard mounted before the built in boot loader on the disc. Welp, Time to wait 230 seconds :sigh:
they really need to take better steps to prevent idiocy, I was just flicking through a mobo manual and saw "Most fan headers possess a foolproof insertion design", the first thing I thought was "we'll see about that"
Ok, some kid at my school managed to find the reg. value with the Recycle bin's name and description.
It is now named "Portal to Narnia" and described as "What did you expect, a wardrobe?"

I thought about that Localhost thing.. Maybe Facepunch should simply make an eBay shop? We got users capable of building a computer in many countries so it could actually be built close to the buyer, thus making shipment cheaper.
