I don't know about Unix or Lunix, but I am constantly amazed by all the complaints I hear from Unix/Lunix admins who complain about all the stuff you "can't do" with Windows... and I end up showing them how to do it.
Windows has tons of features. It's a shame they can't figure out how to read a book about it. Or, you know, do an internet search on it.

Has anyone even noticed the fact that this was supposedly written in December of 2005? Yeah, I know - coulda been a typo. But look to see how many others noticed it:)
OK, so he got nailed. He did the crime and paid his time. But you also have to look at his accomplishments since getting "caught." He's doing enterprise-level network security audits for corporations that WANT someone with his background testing their network. If I was the CEO of a company that wanted to know if a hacker could breech my security, who better to hire than someone who is well-known for doing just that? The fact he he got caught means someone was actually awake at the CON to see it happen, as opposed to watching TV or playing "DOOM" to pass the time remaining on their shift... Let's face it: Phiber Optik knows his stuff, has his act together, and is using his knowledge to HELP people now, as opposed to HURTING them with it. People have to remember that nobody's perfect, and everyone is guilty of making a mistake from time to time. If they use their knowledge and abilities for something "good" as opposed to focusing on ways NOT to get caught, then in my mind it shows an insight to the bigger picture of what being a "hacker" is all about....I'd hire him in a heartbeat.

Logout. Log back in. Bada-bing.
Why logout? Just use 'source':
source { ~/.bash_profile | ~/.bashrc }

Beer math is: two beers times 37 men = 49 cases.
Kinda funny, eh?
...the funniest part is, this makes more sense than that gibberish you just spouted...
