Firesheep Author Reflects On Wild Week

alphadogg writes "Firesheep, the Mozilla Firefox add-on released about a week ago that lets you spot users on open networks visiting unsecured websites, has given creator Eric Butler more than his 15 minutes of fame. More than 542,000 downloads later, Firesheep has thrown Butler into the middle of heated discussions regarding everything from the ethics of releasing the code to the legality of using it to the need for website vendors to clean up their security acts. Butler, who describes himself as a freelance Web application and software developer, reflects on the past week's happenings in a new blog post that reads in part: 'I've received hundreds of messages from people who are extremely happy that the issue of website security is receiving attention. Some, however, have questioned if Firesheep is legal to use. I'd like to be clear about this: It is nobody's business telling you what software you can or cannot run on your own computer. Like any tool, Firesheep can be used for many things. In addition to raising awareness, it has already proven very useful for people who want to test their own security as well as the security of their (consenting) friends. A much more appropriate question is: "Is it legal to access someone else's accounts without their permission."'"

I just want to say that if you live in Jacksonville and you took your wife in to see her gynecologist at a certain office in Orange Park today, your wife got finger fucked by me.

This guy and his wife came in and she's been a patient of mine for a few years as I've delivered both her son and her daughter. So, the thing is, he always wants to be in the room with her when I do an exam, pap smear, breast exam, etc. So, of course, I let the poor slob stand around in there while I'm finger banging his bitch. Today, I did a digital rectal insertion after doing the pelvic exam and what does this jackass do? He turns his head and snickers as if he's grossed out by what I'm doing. Uh, HELLO! My finger's in your wifes asshole, you fucker. Guess what, you thought this was your bitch? This is now our bitch. And she's one of the ones that "loves" her gyno. At first he was reticent to let her see a man but she wasn't having any of his territorial neanderthal ways. Little does she know, haha. I even gave him instructions on how to check her cervix. Yep, me and this guy are fingerbanging his wife together. Fuck it, you are both my bitch. Fun times.
