At 14, a child knows the difference between right and wrong, and what he did injured 12 people. Fortunately, it doesn't sound like anyone was killed, but that's just dumb luck. It could have been much, much worse, and that may be the last opportunity to teach the child that what he did was WRONG, so that the next time he considers doing something this childish, he stops and thinks about what the consequences might be. He should at the very least, have to do some sort of public service that in some way apologizes to the people whose lives he disrupted, and perhaps repay the city/tram company for their expense.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[The StarThrower]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 3rd 2009 3:30PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Teen Derails Trains With Hacked TV Remote]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/01/14/teen-derails-trains-with-hacked-tv-remote/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/01/14/teen-derails-trains-with-hacked-tv-remote/</guid><description><![CDATA[Actually, that's plain scary.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Suzie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 14th 2008 4:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Teen Derails Trains With Hacked TV Remote]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/01/14/teen-derails-trains-with-hacked-tv-remote/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/01/14/teen-derails-trains-with-hacked-tv-remote/</guid><description><![CDATA[Brilliant.

Secondly, if all it takes is a hacked remote control to throw the trams off the questions begs to be answered-are the remote control that powerful or trams security that poor?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[lillyroses]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 14th 2008 5:40PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Teen Derails Trains With Hacked TV Remote]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/01/14/teen-derails-trains-with-hacked-tv-remote/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/01/14/teen-derails-trains-with-hacked-tv-remote/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hey the kid is a frigging genous, who said Pollocks are stupid......at 14..this is outstanding..to have your own personal Life size train set..

It's the fault of the tram system that they didn't prevent it from happening. Same deal on a much smaller scale as the 9/11 attack in NY: terrorist's fault, but why were the aircraft doors not secured 50 years earlier after the first hijacking? No one smart enough to figure it out?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Greg]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 15th 2008 1:51AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Teen Derails Trains With Hacked TV Remote]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/01/14/teen-derails-trains-with-hacked-tv-remote/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/01/14/teen-derails-trains-with-hacked-tv-remote/</guid><description><![CDATA[dont tell terrorists]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[web]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 15th 2008 5:56AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Teen Derails Trains With Hacked TV Remote]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/01/14/teen-derails-trains-with-hacked-tv-remote/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/01/14/teen-derails-trains-with-hacked-tv-remote/</guid><description><![CDATA[ This kid needs a job w/ the Dept. of Defense.<br>But first..he needs an ol'fashioned 80's A** whippin']]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[gYMqUEEN]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 15th 2008 6:37AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Teen Derails Trains With Hacked TV Remote]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/01/14/teen-derails-trains-with-hacked-tv-remote/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/01/14/teen-derails-trains-with-hacked-tv-remote/</guid><description><![CDATA[As a security professional, I would've thought that any such remote access controllers would need to identify themselves to the system with an authentication code. The fact that anyone willing to buy a universal remote and take the time to figure out what 'language' the transit system speaks (the same way you program it differently for different brands of television) means that system was unacceptably vulnerable. The kid should be let off with a warning and a 'thank you' and the system needs to be updated. After all, who's the adults here? ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Keith J.

Bring him out, I'll be more than happy to be his exchange family! He sounds like a fun, intelligent, ingenious kid. Even Copernicus (another Pole) was persecuted by the establishment and look what he accomplished. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lynne Neiss]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 15th 2008 10:05AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
