Then, using that reasoning, why not have a game that lets you "rise through the ranks" depending on how skillfully you plot against your fellow comrades, until you become a dictator. Once a dictator, the object of the game shifts and you are scored based on how many rights you can violate prior to being caught or prosecuted. Among these challenges are the interrment of certain races based solely on their religious views, the segregation of certain races based on their national origin (assuming your country is attacked) and the killing of innocent children and other civilians who get in your way (as long as they're on foreign soil).
Is a game that mimes historical events and standard American policy too boring for your average audience? It would certainly be much more violent than the current set of video games on trial today. Yet WalMart might be able to sell them without fear of litigation, under the guise of "historical re-enactments."
Now, seriously stop to think about this... if the games targetted a particular ethnic or religious group (instead of hookers), they would be driven out of business by censorship [yes... it exists in greater abundance than our civil liberties do] and the ensuing commotion caused by the various niche organizations that oversee their special-interest group's rights, be it the NAACP, MAHF, JDL, etc...
The point to all this? Somewhere along the line, we [or, more precisely, our government] started dictating who we could and counldn't hate [meaning, special interests] rathern than sending the message that hate in general is bad. And therein lies the problem... we create special exceptions and exemptions rather than addressing the real issue and fixing the problem.
These days, doing the truly right thing is politically incorrect, and will not be tolerated. The facts be damned.
This is nothing new... our company has been a defendant in "wrongful death" lawsuites twice now.
In Joe James, et al. v. Meow Media, Inc., et al. (aka the Paducah, KY school shootings), the defendants claimed that their son visited Persian Kitty's Adult Links [Note: Adult Content], where they viewed violent pornography which caused them to shoot fellow high school students.
As this national fad spread, we were then sued by the defendants in what's popularly known as the Columbine High School Shootings. Again, we had to defend ourselves... in parallel. Two lawsuits, in two different states... and the unsuccessful [by plaintiffs] appeals that followed.
Fortunately, we were able to use the ruling (after plaintiffs had exhausted all appeals) in the first case to get the second case dismissed, late in the game. By then, we had already paid out six figures in legal fees alone. Good thing we're in the "online adult entertainment" business, or else we might have been put out of business.
To those who say "so... sue them back!" -- I strongly recommend you learn more about our legal system (through accredited sources, not word of mouth). I can see the newspaper headlines now... "Family may lose home because of Pornographer's lawsuit, after having recently lost their son."

| First of all, I never said that Mitnick never broke into a VAX. | I said he never broke into a VMS system (some VAXen run Unix).
Likewise, when I said "Mitnick broke into many VAX/VMS systems" (the second sentence in my first paragraph), I qualified it. Unfortunately, I was ambiguous later when I said "broke into a VAX".
Mitnick did indeed break into VAX/VMS systems, using flaws discovered by the CCC (Chaos Computer Club) as well as by intercepting PGP email communications between Neill Clift (of Leed's University) and Digital.
Neill Clift, who had access to the VMS source microfiche, would spend a lot of his free time combing through it discovering vulnerabilities. He would then report these vulnerabilities to his engineering contact at Digital. Unbeknownst to him at the time, DEC's mail relay machine was compromised (a VMS system) as well as Neill's home workstation. As a result, his public/private key was compromised. Through a "man in the middle" attack, Mitnick would decrypt and read Neill's bugs, then re-PGP them (using a new key-set he had negotiated with Digital as a result of pretending to be Neill Clift) and forward to Digital.
As for the CCC, Mitnick installed the "show user 0TTO/1TTO/2TTO" bug in many VAX/VMS systems, so that he could remain invisible while on as well as bypass the "pre-login" password required of dial-ups. He also tricked dial-back systems (where the modem calls you back at a pre-set phone number) by adding call-forwarding to the home phone of authorized modem users, thus intercepting the call-backs.
Through the availability of source code, technical support (yes, we had access to DEC technical services - all it took was an entry in their database of support customers) and systems, we were able to study several more weaknesses and eventually code a LAT exploit which, to-date, remains unpublished.
Prior to all this, by the way, Mitnick was breaking into RSTS/E systems with impunity. If you had dial-up access, there was basically no way to stop him... no social engineering required! That really irritated me, because I lived an hour away from work and emergency dial-up was not an option.
I actually still have LA120 printouts of some of these exploits... and answering machine tapes of mitnick leaving me messages about the latest systems he was able to compromise. In the early days, he'd even steal other peoples' RSTS/E cracking programs... Like Dave Kompel's tangled syscalls to spin the kernel into giving you system privilege. I think I still have a copy of that in storage somewhere.
By the way, all this is just the proverbial "tip of the iceberg." There are a lot of other things from Mitnick on those answering machine tapes that never made it beyond me... some of his other "hobbies" involved the DEA, the MDC (Metropolitan Detention Center), Magic Mountain's debit card terminals, and oh... the issuing of "patches" to select VAX/VMS customers on upgrade support contracts. The patches were delivered in the geniune DEC patches box, on the correct media for those particular customers. Needless to say, all those customers had dial-up (or network) access available.
None of that even covers the period of time when Lenny DiCicco worked at (what was once) PacTel Cellular as their database administrator (in Orange County, CA). Once Mitnick found out, hundreds of thousands of ESN's, MIN's and the associated customer names, billing info and social security numbers were compromised. Since we had the assembler code (complete with comments) to the Novatel PTR-825 as well as the compiler, Mitnick was able to remain "invisible" and "untraceable" for years until he pissed off Tsutomu Shimomura. After all, he had an endless supply of ESN/MIN combos, and could enter them into the PTR-825 directly thanks to some custom firmware hacks.
Perhaps I should write a book on what really took place "on the inside" complete with printouts and WAV files. Maybe in another five years, after I retire, I might.
You're absolutely wrong, glenmark. Mitnick broke into many VAX/VMS systems. One of them happened to be "the Arc" -- DEC's development machine. In addition, he broke into the VAXes at Leed's University (just ask Neill Clift) and at USC. He also broke into the personal workstation (a VAX) at Neill Clift's home, where he nabbed the bug reports before they got to Digital. Not to mention his penetration of VPA (Volunteer Plan Administrators) in Calabasas, where Lenny DiCicco lead the FBI in a sting operation, leading to Mitnick's apprehension in VPA's parking lot.
Espousing hearsay as fact only tends to poison the world with ignorance. There's enough ignorance in this world, as it stands.
So, I'm curious -- upon what factual basis do you conclude that "Mitnick never broke into a VAX?" I base my statement that he did upon the fact that, as his co-defendant, I saw the evidence as well as experienced some of it first-hand. You're not one of those people who just repeats hearsay as if it were fact, are you?

I'd love to develop apps for an OpenVMS shop, but alas, I'm probably too old
and crusty for them at this stage. Too set in my ways, you know, when it comes
to writing code that never breaks. My philosophy and methodology does not fit
in with today's "crank it out and fix it later" mentality.
Three hundred users? What now seems like a century ago, we had 120 users on a microvax 4100, all using VT220's and connected via emulex terminal servers (running LAT, of course). The Centronics band printers (P300 and P600) were also connected to the Emulex terminal servers, since each came with a Centronics parallel port.
Those were the fun days... where you made the most of the hardware you had, and got the most out of the software you wrote.
You've obviously never had Kevin Mitnick on your OpenVMS system... or attracted the attention
of the Chaos Computer Club (CCC), whose members at one point (in the old days) targeted
VAX/VMS systems. Nor have you had Neill Clift go through the OpenVMS source code and
discover "bugs".
Don't take it for granted -- just because the O/S is (for all intents and purposes) obscure
now doesn't mean its "secure" now.

What Windows applications don't work with Windows?
Well, for starters, Outlook 2000 doesn't work with Windows 2000. It freezes and/or crashes at times, and needs to be restarted. Another would be Windows Media Player, which if not rebooted weekly, runs out of resources, gets confused, and starts to spew out "The procedure entry point ASFSendTimeToTime could not be located in the dynamic link library WMASF.DLL.
On another note, Word 2000 has several glaring errors involving phantom font changes, where if you override the default font for part of your document and then start using indents (bullets, etc)... and then go to the end of a bulleted line and delete a character, then move your focus and then come back to that line and hit enter, your selected font disappears and is replaced by the default document font again. Lots of quirks, not to mention crashes if the application is used for more than a week without reboot.
Anyway, I've given you concise examples of BROKEN software... without even pointing you to Microsoft's knowledge base, where literally hundreds of items are marked as "known problems" with no fix planned for them.
By any other term, this constitutes BROKEN software that does not run correctly on its intended operating system... not to mention that said operating system has problems of its own.
So, before accusing others of trolling, I suggest you do a little research on your own. Google is a wonderful tool. Reboot your system (so that it has a chance of not crashing) and try Googling for more info next time, before accusing.
