Okay, I was modded down as flamebait. Perhaps the person who did this has not read the following from http://216.239.53.100/search?q=cache:z-FKQ3Dewg4C: www.labmistress.com/content/pn/html/print.php%3Fsi d%3D17+Kevin+credit+card+site:labmistress.com&hl=e n&ie=UTF-8, where Darci Wood defends Kevin from unwarranted accusations from Scott McCollum made at http://www.worldtechtribune.com/worldtechtribune/a sparticles/buzz/bz11182002.asp
3.To Mitnick, the 20,000 credit card numbers Mitnick was caught with were all from stupid people that shouldn't have trusted him." This is a false and defamatory statement. This statement is wholly untrue, and Mitnick was never apprehended with credit cards in his possession. This event was attributed to Mitnick by John Markoff of the New York Times, but Mitnick was never charged nor convicted of these allegations, nor did the Justice Department turn over any evidence of these allegations during the criminal discovery process. Through media sources, it was discovered that the credit card numbers in question were circulating on the Internet and were obtained by other parties, six months prior to Mitnick's 1995 arrest.
This has been reported in dozens, if not hundreds, of publications. What is usually reported is that the credit card numbers were found in the same account in The Well as the stolen files from Tsutomu Shimomura's computer. Are you threatening all of those publications, or just this one? IUP.edu has a slide presentation making the same claims on their website. Have you sent them a threatening email? Attrition.org claims that credit companies with access to hundreds of thousands of cards were compromised. Did they get a nasty email too?
It's kind of hard to sue for libel and slander when you are imprisoned awaiting trial, and unable to file a defamation lawsuit. Markoff knew that, that's why he got away with publishing libelous statements about activities that Mitnick had never engaged in, in his book "Takedown". There's this little thing called a statute of limitations, that prevents us from pursuing legal remedies for past grievances. It is only the current ones we are concerned with, where we are still well within our right to sue. So, no, they did not get a nasty e-mail from me.
Again, check your facts. Mr. Mitnick was never indicted for stealing credit cards from Netcom, or from anyone else for that matter. The source you quote for the Netcom issue, does not even mention Netcom at all. If you had checked your sources carefully, you would have discovered that particular indictment was later amended to reflect a charge for having access to the passwords for The Well account, not for stealing credit card numbers. Also, Mitnick was not the only one with access to that account on The Well (for one, the Israeli hacker also had access). Don't you think they would have pursued charges for this breach, if they could have pinned it on Mitnick? In the discovery, Painter alleges Mitnick was responsible, but he was never charged, nor convicted, for this alleged crime.
Only the electronic evidence seized from Mitnick and the records concerning the alleged losses are sealed. Here is a link to the indictment, which you would have found, had you bothered to do any fact checking.

I prefer to defend people from serious accusation made without evidence.
Your accusation is serious. Do you truly know that Kevin did it? And what did you lose? Did Kevin take your money? I think you may be mistaken, or worse, are deliberately misleading us.

That those in power can be so flagrantly ignorant as to accuse anyone of having powers of launching nuclear strikes from a phone and jail them in solitary for it, reminds me strongly of the fearful ignorance of those who burned the "witches" in Salem in the seventeenth century.
The main feature of Kevin's experience is the blind stupidity of justice.
It will all happen again. The institutions have never learned.
Whistle to launch nuclear strike---burn the witch!

The terrible ignorance of our administration resulted in you being attributed supernatural powers such as being able to whistle down a phone and launch a nuclear strike, and so they wanted you "burned at the stake" like a Salem "witch". Does this careless ignorance still scare you?
I agree that LVM is incredibly useful. But you are mistaken when you consider it a repacement for RAID. They are essentially complementary. The sensible arrangement is to create RAID first, then LVM on top. I have done this for some years without losing data. Without RAID, you risk losing all when (not if) a disk fails. I use IDE at home, but offloading some of the processing to the SCSI controller really helps.

What was Alexis de Toqueville on about? I am ignorant (and too busy, and impatient!). Can you point me at some reasonable overview?
