Keep an eye on those hormonal teenage boys who are bored in class but like to hack into the school computers. They might end up the next Bill Gates, at least if history repeats itself and a recently posted list of Gates trivia is accurate.

ComputerGeek this week posted "14 things you didn't know about Bill Gates," translated from a Hebrew article in TheMarker.com.

Among the trivia items: "Gates, Paul Allen and their friends caused the computers in Lakeside Academy to crash because of hacking activity" and "His first programming job was in high school making a program that organizes an efficient schedule. He used it to sign up to classes that had the hottest girls and have easy Fridays."
