  1. He was convicted for repeatedly hacking a server on Some DNS Requests Ruled Illegal in North Dakota · · Score: 1

    kid was not convicted for a "zone transfer". He was convicted for repeatedly hacking into an ISP's server, and one of the many things he did was a zone transfer. This is like saying that opening doors is now illegal in Arizona, after a burglar was convicted for opening a door (and forgetting to mention that he used a crowbar, entered the house and stole anything of value).

  7. Increase the income... on Heinlein Archives Put Online · · Score: 4, Informative

    Though the Archives is provided online for research and academic purposes, The Heinlein Prize Trust, Robert and Virginia Heinlein's estate, who made the online Archives possible is not a non-profit organization. Just as Heinlein always said he wrote for money (something you'll find is true if you read through his correspondence), the Trustees have a responsibility to not only maintain, but increase the income of the Heinleins' estate. This benefits us all as the mission of the Heinlein Prize Trust is to not only preserve Heinlein's legacy through projects such as this online Archives, but to support and encourage the human (that's us) expansion into space through commercial endeavors. The first Heinlein Prize of $500,000 was awarded to Peter Diamandis for just such commercial space endeavors.

  10. *Fat* based on *one* friend. on Study Proves Having Fat Friends Makes You Fat · · Score: 1

    "The study's records included each participant's address and the names of family members. In order for the researchers to be sure they did not lose track of their subjects, each was asked to name a close friend who would know where they were at the time of their next exam, in roughly four years."
