It's well done. It's a shame that it isn't more well-distributed. The woman that did the documentary traveled all over the world and hung out at the L0pht, went to Germany to visit CCC, and Holland to hang out with Hack-Tic. It's a tad old now (done in 1994), but still interesting.
There were children in the compound. I really doubt that a bunch of pre-school aged kids could shoulder an AR-15, let alone fire it on auto, or lob grenades for that matter.
The destroyer problem they had was because the boats are using WinNT for command & control. They were having lots of problems with them blue screening, and stopping dead in the water. Not a good thing to have happen in a battle, that.
Why should we have to help *anyone*? I didn't grow up rich. In fact, in the late 80's I was trash picking computer parts out of dumpsters behind universities just so I could have a computer to use. You can't tell me they can't pick up a used 486 out of the trash and make it work. I see lots of them on the street every trash day. If they want it bad enough, it's out there. I can't stand notions of entitlement.
Trying to get XDSL in Philadelphia is like the Cheese shop skit from Monty Python: Do you have ADSL in this area? no. SDSL? yes. wait, no. Cable Modem? Fresh out. Do you have any high speed internet access? Yes! Can I get some? no.

I guess they expect this to get them some goodwill after they pull the suit. I say they can still go to hell.

I think they forgot to mention that when the computers locked up, they were running windows. Having a HERF gun near it was entirely a coincidence.
I can't believe that people would be pacified by this trite little statement. Microsoft should be collectively taken out back and shot.

How about Our Lady of the IP Network? Would this make cracking a sin? Can we start an inquisition agains Windoze lusers? CONVERT! CONVERT!
