Hacker Group L0pht Making a Comeback
angry tapir writes "The news report begins with shots of a tense space shuttle launch. Engineers hunch over computer banks and techno music pounds in the background. There is a countdown, a lift-off, and then you see a young man in a black T-shirt and sunglasses, apparently reporting from 'space.' This is the Hacker News Network, and after a decade offline it is lifting off again, this time with a quirky brand of video reports about security. Hacker News Network is one of the side projects of the Boston-based hacker collective known as L0pht Heavy Industries. They're the guys who famously told the US Congress that they could take down the Internet in about 30 minutes, and who helped invent the way that security bugs are reported to computer companies."
What can a group of guys in Boston do that could rival Russian hackers?
tea party?
Mate, Bostonians are what you get when you mix pirates and ninjas. Chuck Norris is scared of Boston. Last time they threw a Tea Party they instigated the overthrow of the largest empire in history! A few blokes from Boston are enough to wipe out the Third Reich, Mossad, Chuck Norris and the SBS all in an afternoon.

BadAnalogyGuy has just posted something similar... I *swear* it wasn't there when I posted...
30 minutes should be more than enough for anyone!
Tea bagging?
Baloney. Chuck Norris knows Boston's fatal weakness!

"Outlook not so good." That magic 8-ball knows everything! I'll ask about Exchange Server next.
that would be neigh to impossible.
And yet I can't see where the horses come in
Yeah. Would you choose a neurosurgeon who pokes around people's brains in his spare time? I wouldn't.
Doesn't get me laid, though, does it?
Any sufficiently advanced intelligence is indistinguishable from stupidity.
