My girlfriend gets after me, in a similar situation. You see, as an idiot myself, I've more than once left the headlights on, only to return and find my car battery dead. Strangely, this only seems to happen when it rains. Anyway, if I see someone else's headlights on in a parking lot, and the car door is unlocked, I'm inclined to go shut them off. What, 5 calories worth of effort, and 10 seconds of my time?
Anyway, you sound like you'd rather be caught in the rain with a dead car battery. I'll keep that in mind next time.
This is like some stupid junk mail printing machine printing up the combinations to the company padlocks, and then sending that junk mail to you. This guy, seeing that it was something very bad, decides to be nice, and call the company up, letting them know what happened.
Or, a better example. After closing hours, you are walking down the street. Your shoelace becomes untied, and you lean up against a storefront, to tie it. Oops, but the door isn't latched, and you tumble inside. Now, do you rush off, and never get caught? This guy didn't.
Do you do like some do, write a small note, and place it inside (the analogy would mean leaving a webadmin.html with the info), which while technically illegal is still in good faith? This guy didn't.
He calls them up on the phone, and informed them of the security flaw. He didn't publicize it, thereby inviting script kiddies. His access is something that is publically and technically acceptable, and he didn't even take a single step beyond it. He acted in good faith, even though competitively he shouldn't have aided the competition, nor was he obligated to do so, ethically or legally.
The only real crime here, is being committed by the prosecutor. He should be charged with false proseuction, and if there is no law for that, treason. Subverting the laws of this country, and attempting to convict someone even though you know them to be innocent, is certainly treasonous. Plus, treason allows for the death penalty, if I'm not mistaken, a just punishment and excellent deterrent.
I haave something on the order of 50 million pieces of evidence, and I encourage others to submit theirs, too. There is a high likelyhood that stem cells can be found in my fat tissue, skin, heart, brain tissue, and at various other places throughout my body. Since circumstances cleary show that I must have had these for nearly three decades, I don't see how this patent is valid. As a matter of fact, if I had had the foresight to patent them myself, back in '74, my patent would have already expired.
I've spent a great deal of my life developing and growing these stem cells, often at great nutritional cost to myself, and I would be apalled if the USPTO granted exclusive rights to some snotty little thief who thinks that they can just steal it out from under me.
Last I heard, the only "baby" jews eat, is your girlfriend. She's tired of your premature ejaculation and two inch penis, and loves getting circumsized cocks slammed into her cunt. It really bothers you that your balls are so shriveled, but please don't take it out on the slashdot readers.

I was really waiting for Starcraft 4 anyway.
