Cyber-criminal Left In Charge of Prison Computer Network
samzenpus writes "A 27-year-old man serving six years for stealing £6.5million using forged credit cards over the internet was recruited to help write code needed for the installation of an internal prison TV station. He was left unguarded with unfettered access to the system and produced results that anyone but prison officials could have guessed. He installed a series of passwords on all the machines, shutting down the entire prison computer system. A prison source said, 'It's unbelievable that a criminal convicted of cyber-crime was allowed uncontrolled access to the hard drive. He set up such an elaborate array of passwords it took a specialist company to get it working.'"
The book was soooo much better.
The only things that the book shares with the movie is the title and the name of the characters. Just about every single thing is different.
Don't know something? Look it up. Still don't know? Then ask.
All your need are belong to us.
Either that, or they get elected to office, and plunder the public directly. But hey, we keep electing these crooks, so we kind of deserve it.
Hey look, FREE HEALTH CARE!

My take on it: This downward spiral will continue only as long was we continue to swap R's with D's and vice versa. It gives all of them tacit approval that business as usual is fine, when it is really not.
When America finally grows a pair and elects competent, efficient 3rd Party candidates into office, it will send a message to both R's and D's that this constant dicking around isn't going to be tolerated. By giving both sides a real time-out, they will realize that we're serious about change.
Best "String" Ever!
Too late.
Change is coming, but it's coming as a consequence of 60+ years dead politicians Ponzi schemes and decades of running printing presses at the mint.
Not just change for the USA ether.
The Euro is equally fucked. England's debt alone would be enough.

England doesn't use the Euro. Epic fail!
In Soviet Russia, US need you!
You got me. England has no connection to the economies of the EU.
Moron.
Nobody has funded their baby boom retirement (with the possible exception of Canada.)
They ALL spent it. England, France, Germany, Italy, the USA etc etc etc. England is the current leader in value of bad paper outstanding but that could change once the currencies really start to fall.
If anything the Euro is more fucked. They've got a dozen countries that can print that soon to be toilet paper.

I have no mod points left, but you deserve them.
Is it our past or our current behavior that defines us? What would Jesus do?
Jesus didn't really say anything straight about it, I think. But when he was hanging at the cross with two criminals, and the other criminal said something like "I'm getting what I deserve", Jesus said, "See you in paradise".
