  1. Re:My response to this... on Hackers are 'Terrorists' Under Ashcroft's New Act · · Score: 1

    In Canada we are behind the times, so we are passing a law against 'calculator crimes' ;).

    Under the new law, if you use a calculator to figure out the hypothetical tragectory of a cruise missile launched at the United States, you are a terrorist. How many others figured out that problem in high school physics class?

    Fraud, theft, vandalism and invasion of privacy are crimes, whether you use a computer or not.

    Terrorism is terrorism, whether you use a computer or not.

    The distiction seems moot.
