...but the average person doesn't know what it takes to crack into a remote host. I know people who don't realize that you have to connect to the internet to check their email. Why should we think the judge was any different? The court could have banned him from putting a modem/network card on his comp and done the job just as well. Most people, including those in the justice system, are totally braindead when it comes to computers, and it's in cases like this where it shows.
IMHO, the guy was a petty theif and deserved what he got. But it's the principle behind it that irks me.
While I'm a strong believer in life elsewhere in the universe, this is stupid. Assuming the extraterrestrials (they're only aliens when they're on the Earth, BTW) do recieve this (highly unlikely - I could get farther with my freind's ham radio), what would they do with it? "Oh, look mommy, I sent my photo as a MIME attachment to an alien! I hope they have a mail reader that can view it!" And what makes people think non-earthlings know English (or French, or Sanskrit, or whatever) anyway? Unless the signal is very powerful and being recieved frequently, they'll probably just treat it like just another freak signal from the cosmos (which wouldn't be too far from the truth, really). I think you can figure out how to email me;)
Seing how as nearly every political action taken in the the latter half of the century was driven or influenced by the atomic bomb, they're right about Fermi. That's who I voted for, and I wouldn't be surprised if others did (if I'm only in tenth grade and I know this, well... who wouldn't;-). BTW Salk == first polio vaccine I think you can figure out how to email me;)
Don't you watch the news dude? Hackers are everywhere, and they control everything... If it weren't for the urgent need to protect children from the evils of the internet like the Bible, we'd be going after them! You don't need brains to invest in ETrade. Only a credit card. I think you can figure out how to email me;)
It seems that someone on slashdot.org is planning sabatoge already Um, I think he was just saying that it could be done, not that he would. Hacker paranoia strikes again.
BTW if I hit submit fast enough, FIRST POST! I think you can figure out how to email me;)
There is a bit of a difference. If you live in America and qualify for the draft, and are drafted, you go to war. It's this little thing called responsibility, sometimes known by another name, duty. If you don't like it then leave the country. If you die, then it's paid out of gratitude for your sacrifice. Chinese journalists, however, weren't supposed to be in danger in the first place. It was the ineptness of the intelligence (now there's irony for ya) ppl that got them killed, not volunteering for military service. So, yes, the Chinese are understandably a lot more miffed than the relatives of a GI. It was a good thing to pay them, however you can't expect the Chinese to forgive us so easily. I think you can figure out how to email me;)
It's been reported by American journalists that the US is giving the money DIRECTLY to the families of the jounalists (and for the last time Core Dump, they are not spies). I never said they were. You are halfway correct - they were journalists. And no matter who the money is given to, you cannot buy a life. I think you can figure out how to email me;)
Well, we killed 4 people, so we'll give 4.5 mil to your government, who assuredly won't give any to you, and will probably even use it against you. Please don't be mad at us anymore. I think you can figure out how to email me;)
If Al Gore created the internet, then he must be responsible for all of the p0rn and violence on it that is corrupting the minds of little (15) children like myself, turning us into mindless killers. So much for "family values":P
(1) Not shocked, maybe, but it sure is causing a lot of fuss. (2) Oh, since we won, now we can call it a war? It's only a war after you win? I think you can figure out how to email me;)
Actually, the major difference between socialism and capitalism is an economic one. The differences between communism and a democracy/republic is political. I think you can figure out how to email me;)
Those commies always were just a bunch of script kiddies!;) I read about this in my local paper. Seems they were syn-flooding several sites, spoofing the IP of the Dept. of Transportation. But why is this so shocking? After all, the U.S. gov't authorized American crackers to go after Milosevich's (sp?) bank accounts. I think you can figure out how to email me;)
What the hell is this about? Granted I've only had my domain about a week, but I haven't had any spam other than my daily "Get a free college degree - no classes required!" yet. And in my experience with XOOM and GeoCities, the spam starts the first day:) I think you can figure out how to email me;)
Around midnight December 31st, I'm going to get on IRC and nuke every single person in every single "Y2K Panic" and "New Millenium" channel.:) It's funny, people used to think that the world would suddenly turn Jetson-like in 2000 - now they're worried about computers inadvertently destroying the world. It's not often that you get to see the entire world swing from foolish optimism to idiotic panic in the space of a few years:) I think you can figure out how to email me;)
That's an interesting question. Will it be more or less GCC-compatible? Or will it be similar to their DOS/WinDoze compilers? I think you can figure out how to email me;)
Hehe... He was so possessed that he couldn't keep the shift key down...
The ability to copy an insane fascist ranting and hold down CTRL+V won't get you much respect around here, bugbear....... Perhaps he belongs on cooksey.net/thndx.htm instead? I think you can figure out how to email me;)
Judging from your definition of "hacker", you must be either a reporter or a script kiddie. Let's take a little test:
Do you get annoyed because Rootshell doesn't give out binaries?
Do you have bo2k.cultdeadcow.com bookmarked?
d0 y0u Typ3 l1k3 tH15?
Do you flood ping?
Do you have WinNuke in your "Start Menu"?
Do you bask in your 31337n355 whenever you start up Avalance?
Do you use Windows for your h4xx0r activities? If you answered "yes" to any of the above, you're a script kiddie. I think you can figure out how to email me;)

I think it's high time that there was a network of OSS developers. A great way for us to get in touch w/ each other too.
But why can't they just use AOL Insta*oops* :)
