If the two parties were switched, your post and his post would be switched.
Since when can Republicans hack anyway?
Half, and half that it exploits a feature which is not present in windows : root and user accounts.
They probably don't understand anything about the internet.
Look at Congress and the RIAA.
the warrent pictures are still slashdotted, anyone have a mirror of them?
Hail the power of corporate America!
You think any open source projects could have gotten this done?
Now everyone's spying on us :(.
