    They are also hackers, capable of destroying e-mail accounts and wiping out hard drives with the click of a mouse.

    Gee now they can put the whole city of calgary in a panic because the newspaper reporter doesn't understand that these hackers are programmers, not 31337 5kR1pT k1dd135. And plus if they were going to wipe out a hard drive or e-mail account, I doubt there would be a mouse involved. After seeing that bit I'm sure the guys interviewed for the article are real happy. Anyways, just my two pennies.
