Jon Penn isn't your average 11-year-old school kid. No, Sir. In his spare time, mostly between classes, he manages the entire computing network for his school in Alabama. The network consists of sixty computers and Jon took up the role when the previous administrator upped and left, completely unannounced.

An 11-year-old kid can't secure a network. And after reading the article, all he's done is install McAfee?
This reminds me of when I pitched a squid proxy/cache w/ dansguardian to our head of I.T a while back. They are now using squid.

Since when was managing school networks impressive? If I knew I would get on the news then I would assassinate my tech manager and become one.

Definitely not a first, brings back memories of old apple MacJanet networks and how easy they were to hack. Extra credit "classes" where you don't have to do a heck of a lot, FTW.

If that kid is so smart then why didn't he go Open Source?

If we're all so smart, then why aren't we doing something more productive than dissing some little inbred albino boy?

Bah, they ask an 11 year old for advice and he makes headlines, yet when an 11 year old takes down an entire network they keep it quiet!

I call lame.
