Question for all programmers?

Question

I had somewhat of a question,

Before I ask my question, since many of my questions that have been similar have received violations I will tell everyone why this is NOT a violation.

TOS violations...
1.that violates federal, state or local law.

I am in no way encouraging anyone to hack, nor am I giving directions how to.

2.NO HACKING: You may not promote or redirect traffic to a non-Yahoo! site, post links to sites that force the download of a virus, programs, or other content, or in any other way interfere with the operation of Yahoo! Answers.

I am promoting nothing, nor am I actually interfering with the operation of anyone’s computer system/yahoo answers.

Anyway…

When I was a child I used to watch a lot of movies and documentary’s that deemed cracking (yes…this is what the correct term) into computer systems was actually somewhat fun (basically you get the Hollywood point of view, make the movie interesting), now I’m much older and a major in computer programming at my community college, I do well in all of my classes and am moving toward a degree. And I realize now what got me into the industry, I don’t care about anymore, I’m way more concerned about getting a job, then getting some information on someone. My question is, how many programmers out there have gone though somewhat of the same thing?

Answer 2
