. . . DOJ attorney Christopher Painter, on the whether ex-hackers could be trusted as computer security professionals. Mitnick says hackers bring special skills to the job, while Painter says a criminal is a criminal."
They're called crackers.
Mitnick sounds like little more than a self-promoter to me.
This is funny,/. cites the Star-Tribune, some obscure Wisconsin paper.
Perhaps they missed the article in the New York Times last night?
I hate to be a pretentious citer of the Times, but come on. The guy who wrote the article found in the Star-Tribune is a writer for the New York Times! So just cite the original paper.
So, here's the link to the original: http://nytimes.com/2003/02/12/politics/12PRIV.html
You're right. The key is getting that idea to reality by bringing it to the masses. If someone impliments this in a layer of Gnutella, it'd get us towards that goal.
I'm not the one, because I'm not a programmer, but surely someone on/. would find it an interesting project. Can probably just reuse existing encryption tech.
If you want to read something that looks at the pop-sociological side of the Sims phenomenon, look at David Brooks article entitled "Overstimulated Suburbia" in last weekend's New York Times Magazine section. In the article, he gives his thoughts from his look at the Sims games.
If you don't know who Brooks is, he's a writer and political commentator who has spent a lot of time in the last couple of years looking at American Bourgeois life [of which he is a part] and his articles are fun and.. not abrasive like the comments most people make when they talk about society. This piece is damn interesting too.

Perhaps some of you are like me and don't like to read AOL/Time Warner publications:P Anyway, there just happens to be a great alternative article on this subject printed just a couple of days ago!

The highest-ranked country of the South is Costa Rica, in 15th position. This Central American nation is traditionally the continent's best performer in terms of press freedom. In February 2002, it ceased to be one of the 17 Latin American states that still give prison sentences to those found guilty of "insulting" public officials.
I get it; we institutionalized free speech in the U.S. over two centuries ago in the Constitution, and eliminated most political abuses of journalists during the nineteenth century, but a small republic that made this reform eight months ago gets ranked higher than us?!
This ranking seems to be more about popular perceptions of trends than actual absolute measures of freedom.

Chill out . . . a little l337 here and there doesn't kill anyone. He only did it twice.

Wait a minute . . . What the fuck?! Your profile page says you're "Yet another computer science major who reads and posts on Slashdot. :)"
Liar!
I'll believe it when someone other than Timothy posts it ;P

GreyWolf is wrong. JFK supported a significant tax cut, and it went through. Dildohead.
But everyone knows the moderation is crap anyway, that's why I read at a threshold of negative one and I always metamoderate.
What??!/No.
The poster [GreyWolf3000] is clearly trolling to fool moderators into moderating him up [he told me so by the way].
You wouldn't call it a "satellite" if your sending it out of our orbit...
Eh.. The fewer people vote, the more MY vote counts.

Some people may disagree with this sentiment.
I agree with Mr. Undeg Chwech. Michael often makes statements that are wildly speculative or unsupportable.
