The people who make lots and lots of money quite often don't use computers. I'm not saying that he could or could not work for the local barber of flipping hamburgers or any of the many jobs that might have put him in contact with a computer. My point is that there are high level jobs that are often filled by the computer illiterate, not the computer elite and it is because of the skill sets that they possess that have nothing to do with computers.
Mitnick's social engineering skills coupled with his better than average mental acuity could place him in one of those positions.
I was refuting the statement that he has been unable to make money while you keep insisting that he couldn't take a job he likely doesn't want anyway. We're not only not in agreement, we're not even arguing the same topic.
I knew one guy who worked down the street, owned a barber shop.
OK. I guess what you'd be surprised at then is that making 'tons of money' means a whole lot more than your average (or even above average) barber makes... even before expenses....
It is a 'different' offense if it breaks a different law even though it may be the same deed. If you are an offender, what you have offended is the law (or more appropriately, some point thereof).
Sun was one of the people on the other side of the case against Mitnick. Apple, Microsoft and Intel were not.
The question was what OS is he using, not what OS was he using when busted.

Because x number of attempts have failed does not make a thing impossible. I don't think it's entirely likely that this script exists, but your conclusion is based on faulty reasoning.
He wrote a book. That can be lucrative. He wrote it without a computer too (or violated his parole...). You'd be surprised at the number of folks who make tons of money who don't know the first thing about a computer and don't really care.
How in the world could you type 'sorice' instead of 'scoring'? I mean your 'c' winds up clear at the end (or nearly so) and 'ng' is replaced by 'e'.....
As someone who has had many letters to the editor make it to print I can assure you that they do alter the text in an effort to correct what they perceive to be an error at times rather than point out the error to the reader. I think to some degree it does have to do with whether they think you (or your position on an issue) are stupid.
Actually, the descriptions of the way the exercises are done here are inadequate. Short bursts of sprinting intermingled with short bursts of jogging would still be considered aerobic. An aerobic workout doesn't have to last as long as an anaerobic workout. Although an anaerobic workout may last longer, the individual exercises are usually shorter in duration.
A simpler definition would be that aerobic exercises cause an accelerated heart rate for an extended period of time along with increased respiration. Anaerobic may elevate the heart rate somewhat but the accelerated breathing and pulse rate are nowhere near the aerobic levels.
Basketball and soccer also consist of repeated high-intensity bouts of activity and are aerobic in nature. The difference between those sports and boxing or football is the nature of the activity, not its intensity. With the latter two you are adding a greater amount of upper body resistance in blocking, tackling, punching and resisting during clinches. Some of these things exist in other sports but to a lesser degree (except maybe with hockey....).
The first might be called "aerobic training" because running all out (or biking) then resting a little, the running again is supposed to make you better at aerobic exercise, more so than running at a steady pace.
Actually, that is known as High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and has been shown in several studies to increase metabolism for prolonged periods of time (longer than the period of exercise). You are correct about both being aerobic though.
OK. Mod the parent as redundant. Didn't see the other post.
Seriously though, I've worked with programs that deal with the poor and getting most of them to keep track of an ID card is nigh on to impossible. There are those who are poor because of temporary circumstances, but they usually don't stay too long as they figure out a way to get back into the labor pool. They're the ones who can produce a card every time they show up. The folks who stay on the dole year after year seem to be the same ones who can't be bothered with keeping track of, or at least producing, an ID card. I know that there are many poor who are mentally ill, but I'm talking about the ones who just plain don't care.

New press release outlines Microsoft's introduction of a line of underwear.

Dubbed Microsoft Drawers, the first version is an 'XP' version which alludes to the former access ports for the purposes of urination being protected.
I thought the Magic Kingdom was the happiest place on earth?
My kids once accompanied a friend, who is blind, to a convention near Disney Land. One member of the party also had other physical problems that made it difficult to walk and was constantly falling down. His demeanor was such that he would refuse all offers of assistance and grumpily told people to leave the blind, fat, crippled man alone. In fact, the only way he said anything was 'grumpily'. He was aware of his reputation for grmupiness and played it up at every opportunity.
There was one day set aside during the convention to go to Disneyland. Having fallen down several times on the way to the park and bellowing out his protests to all within earshot, the entire party lost it when he fell down in front of the sign stating that this was "The Happiest Place on Earth" and he began to roll around and shout, "I HATE this place!"

Cars usually went slower than their horsepower would allow because it was bone jarringly difficult to get a smooth ride on rutted wagon trails too.
....11 digit dialing coming to the city of New York for all phone calls, including inner city calls.
Why would they need to do that? Just a few payphones for the drug dealers in the inner city....
OK let me spell this out for you.

As a matter of fact, that's how the publisher lists it. "Avon Fiction".
Cryptonomicon is about women who sell makeup in a network marketing company????

It's more like 3/2 - or more accurately: 7 out of the 10 jury members need to find him guilty.
Wouldn't that be 15 out of 10 jurors....?

what the heck is the deal with tinfoil Hats?
Well, they got this one already. Anybody got a way to fix wetware once an alien technology has been used to bend its circuits?

A father of a friend runs a soup kitchen, and I helped hack together a barcoded ID card system to keep track of who visited and how often.
How did you barcode the indigents?
They've retained David Boies (DOJ prosecutor of Microsoft) to handle the legal issues.
Oh, then their suit will change nothing.....
SCO was dead, as Novell, so how a dead company do this?

I heard this was similar to the microsoft watch, but costs one third the price. This hurdle should not be a problem for Microsoft Marketing.
Right. They'll just cut off the competition's air supply....
Maybe they meant hidden cameras in the movie trailers the stars are in on location....
