Arrest in Cisco Code Theft
Kozar_The_Malignant writes "The BBC is reporting that an arrest has been made in the case of the stolen Cisco code that was posted to the internet last May. Approximately 800 MB was posted to a Russian security website. No name has been released and details are rather thin."
You know, sometimes these little "give and takes" that people post on /. are funny. This one was in no way humorous or entertaining.
Thanks!
I've just signed legislation that'll outlaw Russia forever. We'll begin bombing in five minutes.
From the article:
Soon after the appearance of the code Cisco confirmed that the FBI was investigating how the theft had occurred.
And...
Cisco said that it had not been stolen as a result of loopholes in its software.
So, they need the FBI to determine how the theft occurred, but they're sure it wasn't because their software has security holes?
Either you know how it happened or you don't, guys. Can't be both.

rediculous.
Words are repurposed every day.
Especially by marketing hacks. "Repurposed"? Jesus.
Whats the difference between manslaughter and murder? Semantics.
Damn good thing you aren't a lawyer. Legally murder is the *deliberate* killing of another human being; manslaughter is the *accidental* killing of another human being. Of course, the fact that you're unable to distinguish between the two is driven home by your completely irrelevent strawman argument.
Yes, theft does not mean someone was deprived of something.
The legal definition of theft means that you actually have to deprive someone of something. And no, you aren't important enough in the grand scheme of things to redefine words as you please and force your definitions on the rest of us. So either you accept *our* definitions or we get to laugh at you for being a solipsistic, arrogant little prick.
There's a difference between theft and copyright violation. But I don't suspect you'll be able to tell the difference, since you can't even see the difference between murder and manslaughter.
Commie hippy fuckwad. I'm posting this as an AC because the truth does not like to be heard on slashdot
No, you're posting this AC because you're a fucking coward who's desperately afraid that he might lose some bogus karma points if he posts under his handle. A spineless, whining, two-bit guttersnipe without the balls to stand behind his words and take what comes.
I laugh at you, little weasel.

My god carries a hammer. Your god died nailed to a tree. Any questions?
Its because some people grow up and stop being such jackasses.
