Classifying BFC as a documentary bastardizes the work of authentic documentaries that attempt to provide an objective presentation of a subject's facts.
Documentaries exist for uncovering the preexisting conditions of a particular subject in a way that the creator's own perspective is not present. BFC's producer deliberatly and intentionally created on-camera environments that would result in an expected outcome.
We have a responsability to preserve the legitamacy of what a documenatry is all about. If all of our documentaries were produced with such careless regard for the preservation of fact and lack of subjectiveness, we end up distorting our generation's record of history.
If BFC was actually a documentary, its premise would be absent of intentional subjectivity.
If the "new computer system" allowed such an oversight by as much as a keystroke, the system developers failed to safegaurd such anomolies. It didn't say which stock market this happened in, but if I were the company, I would be filing an appeal on the transaction. At least in the FTC, it's their responsability to preserve the integrity and fair market structure.
Who says you have to archive all data digitally. The system thats been working for years at our local public and univ. libraries is storing meta information digitally that references a tangible location.
I suppose an acute amount of ignorance is to blame for Glickman's desecration of the bittorrent technology. Let's apply his rationale to other repetitive criminal tracks.

some psuedo chemists choose to produce methamphetamine, obviously all scientists use chemistry to make drugs
some people smuggle drugs into the united states by hiding it as they drive past the border, obviously anybody entering the country is to blame
anybody that wears a red shirt is obviously a gang member
anyone who attends the catholic church is to blame for the child molestations
all postal workers go crazy and shoot up the place
everyone leaving bars/pubs drive home drunk
and the politically incorrect kicker, all muslims are terrorists, islam should be stopped
In addition to the 1000's of reasons above, imagine how boldy Michael would defend this insecurity ideology if he walked away from his box and his 8 year old child decided to play around on the computer. The computer with all his financial assets, personal e-mail, business contacts, music, etc. I don't trust anyone with my data, and I'll be damned if I am going to give my kid a leg up in kicking me down.
As I clicked on the comments link and expected to find a decent collection of Kevin flames, I knew I'd have to throw my two cents in.
To the ones that claim that this is old news, or that Kevin isn't as "leet" as many think; I advise to take your comments with a grain of salt. Anyone who has actually read his book, The Art of Deception, will appreciate Kevin's viewpoints. The truly great hackers use a good mix of social and technical engineered tactics to comprise security. I give you the advice is outdated and isn't news, but his advice will always outlast ever-changing technology. As a bonus he gives you open-sourced;) policy suggestions that would be a nightmare for admins to write themselves.
It's important for us to note that, in a macroview perspective, Google is contributing to the open source movement. With Googles own interests aside, this is one small step for Google, and one very helpful leap forward in open source. The more funding we can get by large corporations the better. And for all the nay-sayers:
The open source world considers many of its large projects as benevolent
dictatorships. It's a democracy only in the sense that cyberspace is
infinite so anyone who doesn't like it can move out. -- Alan Cox
Flame suit on, if they can't even get Spam Assassin working... why should I trust them to be knowledgable enough to truly provide a unbaised and effective review of Anti-spam solutions?
His comment is still valid. That's like saying "We did a comprehensive review of the leading web servers, IIS, PWS, and Netscape's baby. We recognize that Apache exists, however we couldn't review it because we couldn't figure out how to get it to work.
I second that. Any real comprehensive review would include some sort of mention of Spam Assassin. Yes, it's highly configurable and has plural avenues of use, but I think that's what makes it even neater.

It's april fools, I _get_ it. The increased luser status of the /. mods is turning it into a joke.
How can the rate of an observation be "alarming" if it has only recorded 3 of 6,000,000,000 years of existense?
But of course FDR never did anything illegal or unconstitutional as president.

I hope the CEO swims across the atlantic ocean this time.
Given the sarcastic nature of your reply, I would have to agree that your hypotheses is accurate as you, and now me, continue the recursion.

I hate to break the news to you but you are 12 years too late.
How cool is it that the suit # was 007.
I find it amusing that Microsoft had a 12 percent(%) growth and Unix had a 3 per cent growth.
wtf is a per cent, 3 extra revenue units for each cent it earned?
Great Catch ZONK!

We have been doing this via fink for quite some time now. http://fink.sourceforge.net/
It seems way to early for April Fools jokes.
There was a press release about this in May of 2004.
