Intended for users who have never seen or touched a server OS. Redundant storage and hot pluggable drives for those for whom RAID is an insect spray can. To add storage just slip in another drive and you are good to go. Automated backups for every system on the net. Recover older versions of files. Single instance storage Remote access and administration. Remote control over the web --- again, intended for users who have no experience in any of this.
Is it really such a wise idea to let that sort of people out on the internet, let alone near a server of any kind, irregardless of how user friendly?
Did they ever stop to consider the fact that besides these testers, undoubtedly lots of people on the inside will have had access to the leaked version?

From your own link, wire-fraud necessarily includes, "to defraud, or for obtaining money or property." The MAFIAA do not claim to want to do any of those, only to get the information so as to further their actions in court.
Maybe not directly, but if you look at the bigger picture:
1. Obtain evidence against copyright violators through "pretexting" 2. Sue copyright violators (2½. ???) 3. Profit!
It's a trap! As has recently been discovered, KITT is a Cylon!
So, unless you particularly enjoy the thought of a genocidal car constantly messing with your mind and trying to take over your home planet, don't buy it.

Neuroscientists don't know enough about how the brain interprets data
The brain doesn't interpret the data, it's all userspace. Just hook the stuff into the brain, cd into/dev, make appropriate devices with mknod, and presto! You've got a new input device!... that, or install some sort of automatic device manager.
Agreed, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.:s AI is really impressive. The enemy uses combat tactics, such as one person laying cover fire whilst the others flank you. It always feels like they're popping out from places you don't expect them to be in. It's the only game I've felt outwitted by the AI.
Most bootscripts are very generic in that they will try to load all sorts of RAID drivers, various services that are not needed, special fonts, etc.. I've gone in on my computers and wrote a very simple, quick, and to-the-point bootscript (easy to do with a little BASH knowledge), and my system boots up remarkedly fast. Granted, my bootscript isn't very portable, but one of the benefits of Linux is the ability to customize it.
Another trick is to prelink files and let KDE (if that is what you use) know about it. Even the startkde script can be long and drawn out, so trimming the fat and only including what's needed on your system can make a big difference. I've shaved over 13 seconds off a boot sequence by writing a minimum bootscript for my hardware, and that was using a relatively fast distro to start with.

Did that once to a slackware setup, just to see just how fast I could get it to boot up. The system, an old-ish laptop, booted in 9 seconds, with 8 seconds of the kernel spewing messages and 1 second to go from init to the login box.
I was playing around with DEBUG.COM and ran "OUT 20, AX"...and now it's apparently dead. A lot of things don't seem to work - e.g. "mode 80,20". Even "dir c:" when the current drive is "a:" seems to hang. I wonder how complete the hardware emulation is. Can you run Windows 3.1 on this? How about programs that probe for a joystick?
It isn't dead! For crying out loud, it's java! It's still processing the instruction... Come back in September for the result.
College students are supposed to be responsible for their actions. The college shouldn't nanny them like high school kids (even the extent of nannying of high school kids is a dubious practice if you ask me.) If college students take time off studies to be online, that is their problem. They're the only ones that will be hurt, and that is their (and only their) problem.

Yes.

Why yes, we are. It's a long Swedish tradition to be herded by idiots.

Ah, but don't forget that
180 + 180 = 360
360 - 180 = 180
I think it is just about my turn to be modded insightful for no reason just about now...
Pretty please. With a cherry on top...
I'm here to mod insightful and chew bubble gum, and I'm all outta mod points.

I argue that the suitable Simpsons-quote would be "The goggles: They do nothing!"
