The problem is that the original recipe calls for a volume of chips, not a weight of chips. Your problem would exist in an entirely metric recipe if it called for milliliters of chocolate chips and the store only sold them in grams -- unless of course you knew the density of chocolate.

If the recipe calls for chocolate by weight in either system, your job gets easier.

"Keyless" fob for car, on which is attached a 32gig PNY "key", a house key, and my mail key.

Every day I check myself for four things to leave the house or leave the office. Keys, wallet, phone, badge.

The wallet is a magnetic bill fold with cash (something I still prefer), a driver's license, a credit card, a debit card, and, since I'm a degenerate gambler, a "prestige" card for a major casino chain.

I could leave the mail key *somewhere* and the casino card in the car -- since they'll gladly get me replacements.

I'm with you.

He had already been busted and slapped on the wrist:

Green had previously received a three-day suspension for accessing the system inappropriately. Other students also got in trouble at the time, he said. It was a well-known trick, Green said, because the password was easy to remember: a teacher's last name. He said he discovered it by watching the teacher type it in.

The only problem here is that he's being charged with a felony, because hacking laws on the books don't make a distinction between "petty" hacking and "grand" hacking. There's no shoplifting equivalent on the hacking books; it's all grand theft auto.

The teacher needs reprimanded by his IT department and his leadership (principal, union, whatever).
The kid needs his wrist slapped, and and county attorney needs to decide not to file charges, charge him with some sort of misdemeanor mischief charge instead.
