Why do half of the posts up talk about how good of a cryptographer Mitnick is?
It really doesnt take a genius to run an encryption program... Nobody said he wrote his own algorithms or anything... and I seriously doubt (as suggested in one post) that he'll have a "cushy job" working on crypto stuff due to the fact that 1. he cant use a computer and 2. he not a crypto wiz.
At the same time... I'm not saying that Mitnic is stupid... he's got some respect from me and is pretty intelligent... I'm just saying that he has really nothing to do with how strong the crypto he used was.
i disagree.... i really find that first post grabbers dont slow down my connection noticeably, nor do i have to read the posts... things like petrified natalie portmans bathing in grits are a lot more of a plague
so for all you first post nay-sayers: deal with it... suck it up
this little test is not fully inclusive... just because you answer yes doesnt mean that you are seen as a dangerous person....
however... think about this: will anybody actually take that into consideration... its practically a witch hunt already... so this (whether or nat it actually *is* reasonable) is just more ammo for them
'oh... look at the freak... haha... look at him... he's smart.... haha.... he see's that there is so much more to life than sports and highschool... hahaHAHA.... lets label him a murderous psycho'
this is just so totally ignorant of them. and they wonder why these kids go beserk.
the 'good' kids push the 'bad/smart/dork/geek/etc' kids around. a few of the 'bad/smart/dork/geek/etc' snap and then all of the moronic, complacent 'good' people label the 'bad/smart/dork/geek/etc' people as dangers to society.
and what happens to our 'good' antagonists??? nothing... after all they are 'good'....
