I just thought he meant that maybe after the world doesn't blow at the stroke of midnight; pop culture can focus on something else besides 'the apocalypse'.
In what way is copying files back to a directory tantamount to having to buy a new store window and installing it after you sweep up lots of dangerous glass ?
What was the damage he 'intentionally caused' again? He must be a *really* inexperienced cracker, because I don't remember reading about any damage being done.
I'm reporting your OBSCENE posting to my local literary warden. The use of the word 'smarmy' on an electronic storage and retrieval system is prohibited by USC3098.9 (classified).
You can expect your literary license to be revoked shortly. Honest, hardworking readers of Slashdot will not tolerate your public posting of trash.
I was a contractor at one of the largest companies in the world (in this case, a chemical/plastics plant). I lost my job over an argument with 'real' company 'administrators' (who often needed help with sharing a drive in NT) about whether or not I was allowed to encrypt my e-mail with PGP.
It seems PGP presented some problem for their e-mail scanning software. Something about a 'security violation'.

Like it or not even three-letter agencies are still supposed to uphold the law.
That means they have to follow it- even if criminals (by definition) do not.
Two million dead Africans seems infintely more important to me than Global Hell.
The point is why are people already comparing him to Mitnick? I fail to see any similarities in the two cases.
You moron.

Praise the lard.
Well they have to divert attention away from East Timor and Somalia *somehow* don't they?
Oh I see, the similarity is going to be when this kid gets put in the hole for almost 4 years too.
Since when did Kevin Mitnick deface .gov web sites?
I fail to see any similarities.
This kid is *NOT* 'the next kevin'.
He has about as much in common with Kevin Mitnick as Steve Jobs (they were both 'hackers', get it?).

From reading our constitution and bill of rights I would say it is illegal in this country too...
Then again, since when do we do what those tired old rags say.
