...project management system that incorporates bounties into the core of the system. It's run by myself and my buddy Warren. We act as the escrow for all bounties placed in the system, so if it says there X dollars for a request, there truly is.
Think of a SourceForge.net site with bounty handling built-in to tasks (feature requests, bug reports, etc). Also, I'd like to think that we're a bit easier to use from both the project manager's perspective and the end-user's perspective.
We have SVN support and a bunch of other good stuff, and we're adding new features constantly (it's still a "beta" service). http://bountysource.com/
So a guy that's spending a large fortune to rid the world of diseases that CAN be cured, if only we had the money and the desire... or the guy that's giving the world a stable webserver. You went with a stable computing environment over the lives of millions.
I think you have some pretty fucked up priorities. Either that, or you're just a moron.
from Wikipedia "wumpus":
Hunt the Wumpus was an important early computer game. It was based on a simple hide-and-seek format, featuring a mysterious monster (the Wumpus) that lurked deep inside a network of rooms. Using a command line text interface, the player would enter commands to move through the rooms, or shoot arrows along crooked paths through several adjoining rooms. There were twenty rooms, each connecting to three others, arranged like the vertices of a dodecahedron (or the faces of an icosahedron). Hazards included bottomless pits, super bats (which would drop the player in a random location) and the Wumpus itself. When the player had deduced from hints which chamber the Wumpus was in without entering it, he would fire an arrow into the Wumpus' chamber to slay it. However, firing the arrow into the wrong chamber would startle the Wumpus, which might then devour the player.
[...]
Versions of Hunt the Wumpus are currently available all over the Internet, for almost all operating systems and machines, including Linux, Palm Pilot handheld computers, and mobile phones. The first bot on IRC was a multiplayer Hunt the Wumpus game, in which firing an arrow into a room with other players caused another player to be killed: "Foo is hit in the back with an arrow!" Unfortunately, the "Wumpus-o-Matic" player never made it off the drawing board. See also Rog-O-Matic.
Wumpus have also made an appearance in the TCG Magic: The Gathering, specifically in the 1999 Mercadian Masques expansion. They appear mainly in the art for green cards in the set, though two are playable creatures: the appropriately named Hunted Wumpus, and also Thrashing Wumpus.

I'm sorry but "we" didn't invent the Internet, a few people working on Defense projects did. You (and I) could never have existed and the Internet would still be here, so don't act like you have ownership of it simply because you live within specific man-made borders.
Nope, can't say any of that happened to me. but yeah, fuck that guy and his high horse for thinking that 9 years in jail is too long for a cracker who ATTEMPTED to steal.:rolleyes:
Identity Theft is serious, but this is retarded. This will NOT act as a deterrent, because all of the crackers "know" they are too good to ever get caught. To say that someone with enough ability to break into a major corporation's computer system is best serving the community and himself (in terms of mental, educational, and financial) by being in jail for nearly a decade is insane.
Put the guy on house arrest. Make him clean highways and work at soup kitchens for 5 years. But for godsakes don't let his knowledge die. Force him to consult Lowe's on their security for free, have him be a *gasp* useful member of society.

Talk about rehabilitation.
I was just about to say the same thing. I'd really like a new Mutant League and figured th is would be the chance, then I realized it was EA.
