I think they intentionally set the default icon as the black guy avatar so that it's pretty obvious when someone didn't bother to change the icon. I think the default used to be a nerdy guy.
 
you know it is too bad, because usually if you are a bad apple this far along you will more than likely keep heading down that path unless the person decides to change. His parents FTL. I mean how can you not notice your kid suddenly has a "new" computer and not wonder where it came from.

The kid probably just got come from school with it and thought "Okay, I have 2 hours to get this computer formated before my parents get home then I can tell them look what jerry gave me for free, he said he couldn't get it to work right and said I could have it".

If it had a sticker with the serial for the school district I think I would be a little more inquisitive than just "oh, ok." Almost always for theese sort of things they give computers to the parent for the child. The kid never just lugs it home on the bus.

If kid can get a gun into a school and shoot the place up I would think it wouldn't be very hard at all to sneak a laptop out in a backpack....

Also stickers are easily removed.

Note:
I'm trying to say what the kid did was right but it's not his parents fault he decided to steal something, especially when its more likely to be the scenario I said.
 
I'll give you that you can remove a sticker, though I would still be wary if my kid suddenly had a new computer. Also, I really hope you don't think what the kid did was right and it is just a typo. Either way it is his fault for stealing something, no way around that.

This is amazing Harvey, made my day, I caught someone stealing my school's computers I would kick his ass.

It is simply the first avatar of the bunch alphabetically.

Well, there is an avatar called "default" but it is not the default and I'm pretty sure it used to be years ago.

Thanks... kinda. Unless you can post a better song of your own, your back handed pseudo-compliment almost makes up for your lack of talent and your inablity to write, play or sing anything. 😛
