> I found that trick and showed it to some friends... But it's hard to keep a secret, and somehow a larger non-friend group was using it to cheat in a computer-lab class. I was offended by the blatant cheating, and a little by the idea that certain people I didn't particularly like were profiting from what I'd found.
