Ok fine.. I'll respond to the only part that made sense... kind of made sense.
Not everyone is upper middle class with a thoroughgoing understanding of the minutia of the law.
You're saying that because she's an ignorant poor women from the south, but that's not the point.
Everyone knows that if someone is giving you millions of dollars whatever it is, it's not going to be legal. She knew what she was doing wasn't legal, but it's just an account transfer right? It's not like anyone is getting killed..
You're wrong argument is based on the understanding that she didn't know what she was doing was illegal, hence why you're coming up with the wrong conclusion.
Next time please don't try to shoehorn Linux and oil into a discussion like this. You were trolling.
instead gave out the details privately to people who used them in an act of industrial espionage
Hardly, he boasted that he got into valve, people listening on the channel knew he got in so figured out how he did it. That's not the same as handing over the username and passwords.
It's like a security analyst saying there is a buffer overflow in the windows xp sp3 netcode, you don't know where but you know it exists.
The recent news is that US prosecutors added the guy to an indictment for writing and distributing the Agobot worm.
and it's a dangerous path you're going down, think about that next time you release anything open source, you could end up in prison too.
I think it's ridiculous that he's being charged when he only wrote the program. He's not involved in using it.
They're an all microsoft shop, Gabe used to work for Microsoft before Valve, hence why they only develop games for Microsoft platforms while the PS ports are subcontracted.
Also probably the reason why they got hacked in the first place.
They didn't arrest anyone, in fact if you RTFA you'd know he didn't commit any crime.
The source code leak, he only broke into valve and after boasting about it on irc others listening on the channel figured out how he got in and did the damage.
The botnet charges, he only wrote the botnet code, he didn't own the bot network, he didn't launch the DOS.
This is simply a case of the FBI having this guy in their targets and they're not letting him go be damned if he actually did anything wrong.
The Lenny installer runs circles around the Ubuntu installer. Among other cool details you can configure LVM, or software raids prior to the disk formatting and installation.
Which is why it sucks compared to Ubuntu. You remember Ubuntu right? It's Linux for humans.
For creating the program, not being part of the dos attack. There's a big difference between what people do with your program and if you made the program.
Again, has he been arrested, has he ever done any jail time? No.

Nonsensical dribble about nothing, then going on to talk about Linux... Please, stop trolling.
Oh you're right, I misread the comment, sorry about that.
Indeed, it was poor writing on my part, I meant to say he didn't commit the crime everyone is accusing him of in this instance.
However in the case of the botnet suit, he didn't commit a crime, unless you count writing and distributing a botnet program, a crime.
No where does the GP mention anything about replacing equipment...
The GP was talking about devices facing the internet which isn't true if you set to disallow incoming connections.
It's a myth that NAT stops incoming connections, your firewall does this, which is my point you can still do this with a firewall.
What... the... fuck?
I don't disagree, however this guy did nothing wrong. If you read the article he didn't steal the source code.

I think whether he did or didn't steal property is actually quite important.
Do you think the FBI would be involved if they didn't want to arrest him for stealing million dollar IP?
It's almost the same thing, just no NAT! Damn you people are fucking morons..
You can still do that with a firewall. I think you need to change your religious believe in NATs.
That's a firewall.

The costs of having to spend more time developing half-life 2 obviously.
So go after the real criminals!!! Why are they wasting their time with this guy who is obviously not malicious in nature.
He had access for 6 months but didn't do anything with it suggests he's not responsible.
You're playing the stupid game of shoot the messenger.
He wasn't a criminal and they failed, he didn't go. RTFA.
He never stole the source code, others who figured out how he got into valve stole it.
RTFA, he didn't go, FBI and valve failed..
He also didn't steal the source code, he boasted on IRC and others listening in figured out what he did and got in.
He DIDN'T commit the crime! RTFA!!!
He told others that he got into valve, said others figured out how he did it and stole the code.
Why feel sorry for a criminal? She had no problem illegally laundering money from Nigeria. Crime doesn't pay.
More like she's a reverend and attempted to get involved in laundering millions of dollars illegally...
Oh poor thing, she lost all her money by breaking the law..
No you should be charged, but telling someone my home door is open and they stealing my stuff? Why should you be charged with anything?
I suggest you read the article. He didn't steal the source code, he told people on irc who figured out how to get in.
Welcome to christian america, praise jeasus!!
