Hmmm...with all this wonderful American technology going (stolen???) to
Eastern Bloc countries/USSR/China(?), I wonder how long it will be before
some genius-level (okay...maybe not necessarily genius...) teenager will
start hacking and do things like: change his/classmate's grades, give his
father/mother/friend a promotion in the military/factory/farm, etc.

Any speculation on this and what sort of punishment would get meted out by
the powers that be???

Note: I am definitely NOT trying to start a political discussion. I'm just
wondering what sort of things a 'hacker' in Eastern Bloc countries would 
do that might differ from what hackers here do.
