Sorry, you all are really pissing me off. Using a trojan is NOT hacking. It's not even cracking. Yes they're illegal, unless you own the computer. Using a trojan will usually not get you into too much trouble either, unless you do serious harm. You'll get a slap on the wrist, and that's IF you get caught. Don't even bother with it. Don't 'spy' on people without probable cause.

Some more griping...

Despite popular belief, hacking isn't bad.

From the fingertips of open-source guru Eric Raymond.... "Hackers solve problems and build things, and they believe in freedom and voluntary mutual help. "

Sure you may be saying "hacker" just because it's easier to say and everyone knows what you're talking about, but that doesn't mean it's right. I could say everyone in FIRST is a untidy geek who has no friends and spends all their free time watching Star Trek and working out theorums (which is true for a lot of you) but that doesnt mean its true for everyone involved with FIRST, even though thats what a lot of people think.

Yes I know I may have been a bit harsh, but I get really uptight when people blatently misuse terms like this. Yes I am a hacker. No I don't do anything illegal. Yes I am now done with my rant.
