I can't really blame a bureaucratic organization like the U.S. Army for having to state the obvious, but how on earth did this get on to Slashdot? Does the story-filter take a break on the weekends?
I don't think you'd have any complaints as long as no logs are kept, the logs should be left alone. You'll only get grief from the environmentalists if you start logging in the woods.
(Sorry, but it was just so obvious! The void needed to be filled with the obvious pun.)
This might sound really lame to some people, but here it goes: The term 'hacker' has great significance to computer nostalgia and history. The title of 'hacker' really says something about a person. Me thinks that the media just needs to get a clue, and who better to pass the word along than faithful Slashdot readers? Solution: Everytime an article is published misusing the term 'hacker', any Slashdot reader could type his name and email address into a couple text boxes, and exectute a short perl script, and a general letter explaining the actual meaning of the term 'hacker' would be sent off to the offending party. This might tick off the people that have to read the email, but it would definately get a point across. Well, there's my two cents, I would be very happy to see some implementation.....
Dang, I think that Debian logo used for the Slashdot topic is enormously better looking that bird-on-crack... At least 42 times better that that swirl. It looks like Lucent-on-acid... Excuse me, I just don't know why I keep on spewing out these drug phrases.... Anyway....hmmmmm....

Why is charlies angels always the example???
Actually, it says "Charlie's Angles". I've never heard of it either. It's probably some Geometry-centric, modern version of Math Rabbit.
"...and that the source and object code of all electronic voting machines to be open and readable by the public."
Wow, I'll be impressed beyond belief if the public will be able to read object code.
Who knows more about data privacy than somebody who has compromised the privacy of millions?
They were probably just confused because they had no idea what a "swirfly lign" was. It worked on me, and I'm just reading your post.

Dang, I thought I was cool for sticking a relay in Mr. Billy and using him for my doorbell. I guess that just goes to show ya...
