But he used social engineering to hack the account. I wouldn't think it's as much fun that way.
Heck, I've cracked the security at my own employer before, as well as "eavesdropped" the password at another place. It's not as much fun in the latter method. (Note: I didn't actually *do* anything with these passwords. The enjoyment was in the acquiring.)
Regardless, I see your point. I just think it was stupid of him to sell it. It sounds like he wouldn't have gotten arrested if he'd just trashed it or destroyed it. Selling it online made him easy to catch. My point is simply that he could have kept being a prick, AND made money, without as much risk of being arrested.
It would be like Kevin Mitnick getting arrested for just illegal entry of corporate servers without any theft. Oh wait.
I can accept 100k mph as possible. I doubt if they really are going that fast, although I don't have any figures as to the average speed.
All I remember is that we managed to get one ship on a comet recently. Couldn't have been going too fast. (No, I'm not thinking of the movie "Armageddon" either.;) )
That's classic. Did it end there? I wouldn't be able to let her have the last word on that one.
Of course, I'd be surprised if you didn't get grief on that one, with the boss or colleagues asking you why you were concerned about missing out on records from the future.
Isn't the speed of light only 1.8 million miles per second?
That would be about 6% of the speed of light, roughly.
I'm not saying you are wrong. I'm just saying that they probably aren't going that fast. Something going that fast hitting the earth might have a bit more kick than they currently do.
At my current client, I convinced them to eliminate ftp from the iis servers.
My reasons? They *only* ever needed ftp to allow users to download (small) pdf files; They had trouble understanding the security (every other week, the security got broken when someone played with it. It was no use telling them not to touch it.);
In Ultima Onlina, it is relatively easy to use macros to build up cash and experience.
The guy could have spent the same amount of time building the house himself and selling it on ebay. Same profit, no risk.
I've still got a lot of pr0n^H^H^H^H Data on floppy. What will I do if I can't read those?
Dang. All my 5 1/4" disks are useless already. Don't take away my 3 1/2" disks too.
Of course, the wireless keyboards aren't working too well. Starting to hear news reports of people unintentionally interfering with each other from thousands of yards away.
I wonder if this opens the door for a third company to start publishing these court cases. After all, the court cases themselves still have to be available for examination.
I could see a group of people doing an open-source type of scanning of all documents, and publishing everything on a group of free law sites.
Of course, the question is who would pay for the free sites comes to mind. Not likely lawyers would advertise on it.
Couldn't a pro se litigant have a legal secretary or law clerk (or whatever) verify what forms they need? Why pay a few thousand for a lawyer when all you need is to know what forms to bring?
How is Verizon not being able to sell information on their customers a violation of free speech? Selling personal customer data doesn't fall into free speech!

I keep doing that.

Uploading isn't necessary for many purposes.
