I'd love to see a reliable source refering to this. It's an allegation I've not heard before, and quite a serious one at that, so I'd like to be able to verify its validity...

Can anyone help me here?

It is perfectly legal to copy all the listings out of a phone book under your own name with no attribution.

Presumably it's only legal, though, if you only copy the legitimate entries, otherwise you're copying their creative effort without permission!

1. Somebody hacks into your webserver, gets access to your webshite. Boo.

2. Tries to extend his permissions to any other service on your machine, can't because he's stuck in a sandbox!

easy :)

(well, maybe not easy, but it's certainly not the end of the world when you get one entry to the cell hacked)

I went through a period of clinical depression earlier this year and I can honestly say that the most depressing thing was being depressed. It's a bitch!
