  2. Why didn;t the FBI get a warrant and log in on The Story of the Pedophile-catching Hacker · · Score: 2, Interesting

    As the target machines where infected with Sub7, why wouldn't the FBI get a warrant to access the trojanned machine themselves the Sub7 back door?

    Gary McKinnon is "not a citizen of the United States and are not bound by our laws" and yet he was extradited to face trial in the US. He was accessing Pentagon, NASA, US Air Force and other DoD facilities in 2001 and 2002 the same time 1069 was breaking into private US citzen's systems.

    As usual, it's one law for private individuals, one law for the poice.

    That's a good strategy, it's what makes me hit 'buy it now'. When I've had enough of trying to get the bargain, the extra couple of $ are worth the time saved.

    We have marshmallows & peanut butter, just not in the same jar.

    I do like peanut butter & jam (or jelly as you call it). Though I wonder what you guys call jelly (flavoured gelatine to which one adds hot water and let it "set").

    One of my goldfish jumped out of the tank when I left the feeding flap open, a leap of at least 2" vertically.

    Poor thing, I found in the morning covered in fluff, motionless on the floor. I popped it back in and it was right as rain in a few mins.

    My goldfish certainly display this behaviour, and it is not just the Pavlovian response to someone walking near the tank.

    My three fish will swim to the end of the tank I am sat nearest to and badger me into feeding them, but only when the light in the tank is on.

    Where I come from (UK) data going into RAM and back is defined as copying, so in the case of downloading the file is copied from memory to the hard disk. To listen to it, it is copied from the hard disk to memory, etc.

    There is a weak correlation between a man's motives and what he says they motives are. The constant of correlation is inversely proportional to the political power of that individual.
