On a spammy, but not necessarily off-topic tangent, the company i work for, iAgora (www.iagora.com) just made live the latest version of our iWork section, which is designed to help young international (and/or foreign exchange) students to find jobs in big companies. We have a few posts from Unisys and some other big names, although we are just getting started. People who want to hire smart people, and smart worldly people who want to get hired should check it out at http://www.iagora.com/iwork/index.html . cheers.
Yeah. It's unfortunate, but Captain Crunch is as much of a pervert as he is a hacker. I have met him before and have seen him proposition more than one obviously underage lad (including myself). His M.O. seems to be asing young hackers who are obviously in awe of his status to come up to his [hotel] room and do "stretching excercises." Also he is fond of offering the boys he propositions pills of ecstasy (to make them more happily compliant, i assume) What's more, in my experience he comes off in person as an overall sleazy old man, around whom I'd make damn sure to bend at the knees. I respect the guy for everything he's done for the hacking world, and wouldn't dare to slander him were it not true, but the bottom line is that he's a creep. I'm sure there are others out there who have had similar experiences, no?
