The other side of the coin is that there are plenty of people who call to complain, but don't really want the "issue" fixed, because they don't actually consider it to be all that serious of a problem. They'd rather just use it as leverage to get free shit.
He (allegedly) installed his own computer into an MIT wiring closet, took repeated steps to overcome MIT's efforts to stop him, hid from security cameras, and violated the terms of use for accessing the computer system.
He wasn't charged with any of those things.
I don't understand why you would have an issue with a review of the actual charges against him
This same story keeps cropping up in various forms, but we've been doing this at least since the 80s or 90s. I don't know why it keeps being rehashed or why people continually seem surprised by it at this point.
Much of the info mentioned in the article is shit you make up when filling out profiles online anyway. So do that. Obviously you'll need your real name and probably your correct gender and approximate age if you don't want extra probing^Wscreening, but have a field day with everything else.
When I was a lad, we got our Lego bricks (which were made of solid lead and coated with radium, as was the fashion in those days), and we were perfectly happy to snap them together in the shape of an amorphous blob.
"He said that parents who lose their children to tragic accidents might be able to clone replacements in the next few decades."
But this wouldn't be the same child. The original will have still died in the accident. It's like replacing your daughter's dead puppy and naming it "Fido 2." Even she knows it's not a real substitute.
They were having a hell of a time with people bunking off work and having their mates sign them in. So they implemented a biometric signin system, where you signed on and off by typing in your number and scanning your fingerprint.
After it was implemented, what was stopping the habitual slackers from showing up twice a day (to log in and out), and being absent in between?

Look for upcoming Hollywood action movies to feature bad guys from Antigua now.

Sounds like a win-win for the companies.
So now I can store my entire porn collection in one spurt.

18 may or may not suck (I have no experience with it), but is that any reason to switch to Fisher-Price linux?

Hear that, Kansas Board of Education? Time to step up your game.
How about we not consider taxing any of these examples of free expression?
Company gets butthurt when lowly employee dares to do the exact same thing they've been doing for decades. Film at 11.
"Letâ(TM)s say you wanted to do your own version of LotR can you tell computer to drop in 10,000 Orcs?"
If you had an $800K budget, you could probably afford to spend $18K of that on Massive, just like Peter Jackson did for LotR.
No, I don't want the fucking Ass Toolbar installed, Oracle. Thanks for asking.

What's your issue with it?
"Isn't that exactly what Google Music is doing now?"
No.
"But most, liberals, understand that guns are a threat to the lives of tyrants, and most liberals wish they were tyrants."
As a pro-gun advocate, I must ask that you stop making pro-gun advocates look like raving fucking idiots. Thanks in advance.
"Statistically speaking, you are safer on your standard 737 jet than you are sitting on your couch, in your living room."
When my couch has a catastrophic malfunction, everyone on that couch is just about 100% likely to survive.
"So the police are tampering with evidence? Isn't that a crime?"
Only if you're not a member of the gang in blue.

"Popular Wordpress Plugin Leaves Sensitive Data In the Open"
This happens at least twice a week. Don't use Wordpress. Or if you have to use Wordpress, lock it the fuck down and don't install plugins.
Is it just my imagination, or has "Ask Slashdot" become "I can't figure out how to search for things on the internets"?

Get off my lawn.
That just sounds like really horrifying pornography.

If they *really really really* want that much bandwidth, all the time, every day, then they should be prepared to pay for it.
Unless the ISP redefines the meaning of the word "unlimited."
And so closes another chapter of "We Let Lawyers Write a Legal Document and The Internet Freaked Out."
You misspelled "We tried to get away with it and got caught." Happy to help.
