1. The correct word is cracking not hacking. Hacking was originally a word representing something good and useful, but has been taken over by the news media to bean somethine vile and disguisting. Cracking means breaking into something, in order to do vile and dispicable things. What you were doing was cracking, not hacking.
2. However, the main problem is that the code is not secure, not that I was messing around during a free period and found a way to bypass the "security."
So, if I threw a brick through a window of your home, would you thank me for showing that it was not "secure"? Especially after I backed up a sewage truck to the broken window and unloaded it into your house? Why shouldn't IT people be upset when you dump your shit into their systems?
3. I do not see hobbyist computer hacking as a REAL threat, because if they can hack into a system, that system is definitely NOT secure from true hackers with illegal, immoral fraud schemes, etc in mind.
I don't think you should get upset when I dump a tanker full of shit into your house, because it's possible that someone who was a REAL threat might someday come around, they could do something worse. Your house isn't completely secure, so you should thank me for that tanker full of shit.
4. Oh, and every time you fix your house, I'll just try to find another way to fill it full of shit.
Question. Are Brain Tumors more frequent now than BC (Before Cellphones). If cellphones are so good at causing cancer, then there should be a much higher incidence of this type of cancer.
It shouldn't be hard to get numbers, cell phones haven't been around that long.
It could be that research has cooled because of the large number of lawsuits being thrown at them. Why spend all the money developing a new drug, when any possible profits will be eaten up by numerous lawsuits, and the resulting high price will be used as justification for allowing a company in a third world nation to steal the design and sell a cheap copy.
Leo: The point these guys are trying to make is that the hacking profession is an old and honorable one, and the Internet wouldn't exist without hackers, UNIX wouldn't exist without hackers, GNU - I mean, hacking is not, in and of itself, bad. And so when we talk about bad guys as "hackers," they feel like we're besmirching the hacking community.
I think the hacking community (the good kind) should constantly refer to these "reporters" under their new name "a**holes". And so when we talk about reporters as "a**holes," they will feel like we are enhancing the a**hole community.

Will we need to replace oil and its fossil fuel cousins at some point? Definitely. In our lifetimes? If we are talking strictly about oil, probably. Coal? Probably not. Does such a substitute exist that a) Can be stored, b) Can be transported, c) Can be used, and d) Is energy positive (meaning we get more energy out of it than we put in to extract/grow/create it) in our current engines, machinery and infrastructure? No. Is one close? No.
30 years ago, I was taught that we has at most 10 years worth of oil. That means we ran out 20 years ago. We better hurry up and find an alternative soon, because we haven't had fuel for our SUV's for the last 20 years!
Please don't interrupt the global-warming question with facts. Those do not tend to lead to the correct solution, which is "WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE A MOST HIDEOUS DEATH UNLESS YOU QUIT USING SUV'S".
And please, don't mention that Mars is also going through a warming period. That is merely an accidential coincedance; or caused by those SUV's that NASA beligerantly dropped onto the unsuspecting planet, breaking holes in its celestrial sphere and causing horrible consequenceses.
Shouldn't all 10 entries be "reality TV". With the way all the networks push this type of show, you'd expect them to be absolute chart-toppers. Shouldn't a show like "Who Wants To Eat A Bug" (aka "Fear Factor") be at #1?

300,000+ virus can't be wrong...
I've chosen one that is entirely based on wind
So, you really like killing birds
and hydro power.

You must really hate the envoirnment!

This is Government (with a capitol G). Remember what they pay for hammers and toilet seats.
Fingers, on the other hand, frequently stray to the places where bacteria flourish.
You shouldn't be looking at that type of web site while at the office! No wonder your keyboard is covered in so much goop!
Spyware is really easy to avoid.
It usually identifies itself with some combination of the names "Windows", "antivirus", "antispyware" and "DRM".

You are wwwaaayyyy to late fot this comment!
They washed it with de-ionized water, of course.
I suspect it is just as likly to work as smearing butter on the space shuttle to make it go faster.
If you go into a different dimension, will the laws of physics still be the same? Will you even be able to turn off the magnetic field?

I mean, jeeze, looking around my local video rental house, probably about half the shelf space is still allocated to VHS.
But once you get away from the PR0N shops, it's mostly DVD.
Universal is the only company that is exclusive with HD-DVD.
"Walker: Texas Ranger" is only going to be available on HD-DVD? Crap, looks like HD-DVD has already won.
if you contribute to Linux, you better be ready to spend $100MM to fight a msft backed nuisance lawsuit.
... um ... length?
100 milli-meters! Wow, thats a lot of
Ok, I give up. Which one is it?
Will these underwater turbines be as efficient at killing fish as the wind turbines are at killing birds?

They need a more exciting and dynamic image, linked to a beloved internet icon, to put on the stickers attached to all their PC's.
Now it will be a stick figure jumping over a smiley face. (leap a head).
How about "room temperature superconductors"? Even if that wasn't supposed to be a hack, it couldn't have been done better if it were.

Clinton sure said stupid things, didn't he.
