I guess he thought he was giving it for that, and in the end I'm sure someone got some out of the whole deal somewhere in either Nigeria, Malaysia, England, or the US.
I know of a guy (cough), that goes onto these "adult dating" sites and has gotten several hits from "women" trying to get him to vote for them on their cam site. Oh, yeah baby... I'm only a few miles away and will meet you after you give you credit card number (for five dollars, yeah right) to this website. It will help me with my modeling career... So, basically if guys think there is any chance of getting some they will fork over money.
I couldn't agree more. AD = flat directory, eDirectory = hierarchical directory
Yes, I know you can create child directories in AD; but, it you plan on using Exchange you are back to a flat directory.
But honey, I spent fifty thousand dollars on this. You've pretty much got to wear it. Oh wait I forgot, honey is the girl robot I build to take to the prom.
If your (fill in the blank with OS) computer is not properly protected it will take X minutes before it becomes infected, according to (fill in the name of some company that will sell you solutions to "secure" you computer).
Yes we all remember the "good ole" days when you could wait until tommorrow before doing anything to the computer you just loaded the OS on and hooked up to the internet. Those days have been long gone (if they were really ever here).
Or even better sing them the choras to Alice's Restaurant (in three part harmony).
From Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant":
I went over to the sargent, said, "Sargeant, you got a lot a damn gall to
ask me if I've rehabilitated myself, I mean, I mean, I mean that just, I'm
sittin' here on the bench, I mean I'm sittin here on the Group W bench
'cause you want to know if I'm moral enough join the army, burn women,
kids, houses and villages after bein' a litterbug." He looked at me and
said, "Kid, we don't like your kind, and we're gonna send you fingerprints
off to Washington."
And friends, somewhere in Washington enshrined in some little folder, is a
study in black and white of my fingerprints. And the only reason I'm
singing you this song now is cause you may know somebody in a similar
situation, or you may be in a similar situation, and if your in a
situation like that there's only one thing you can do and that's walk into
the shrink wherever you are,just walk in say "Shrink, You can get
anything you want, at Alice's restaurant.". And walk out. You know, if
one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and
they won't take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony,
they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them.
And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in
singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an
organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said
fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and
walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement.
I agree that there should be penalties for thieves (crackers in this case). If companies would dedicate a portion of the IT to forensics and dealing with the authorities (not to mention publicly admitting they had a breach), we could bring many of these "thieves" to justice. Laws and penalties without enforcement is injustice.
However, I don't think that leaves the software vendors without responsibly. If I leave the front door to my house wide open and I get robbed, the police are not going to be very committed to solving the crime. And if everyone's doors are left wide open the police would have too much crime to handle. There will always be thieves no matter how many penalties there are. It is foolish to believe that you can stop crime with penalties alone.
My point is this. Vendor so many times don't even try. When I get a major Telecom vendor that is running the software on NT 4 servers and a Medical Information System vendor with their software hard coded such that the SQL password is blank, how can you blame someone if they break in. And when I do install a patch to an OS (be it Linux or a M$ OS) they instantly blame all the problems with their software on the servers and the patches that I have installed.
So from what you are saying you agree with the vendors. Why put locks on the doors when that just makes it an incentive for bored kids. You do have an interesting point, but it is not a complete one.

Jesus H. Christ! Private Pyle, why is your
footlocker unlocked?
PYLE
Sir, I don't know, sir!
HARTMAN
Private Pyle, if there is one thing in this
world that I hate, it is an unlocked footlocker!
You know that, don't you?
PYLE
Sir, yes, sir!
HARTMAN
If it wasn't for dickheads like you, there
wouldn't be any thievery in this world, would
there?
With full credit to Kubrick, Herr, and Hasford, there is some wisedom in this quote. If folks would secure their software there wouldn't be a temptation to try to get in. I know that it is impossible to make something 100% secure; however, leaving the door wide open (as many software vendors do) only adds to the problems.

RTFA: "A nanowire array can test a mere pinprick of blood in just minutes". I don't think they test all of your blood.
