Ah hahahahaha Ah ha hahaha - you must live in a developed country! With laws, that apply to everybody, and enforcement and stuff. And institutions that are careful not to support fraud, because people can read about it in uncensored newspapers and go to competitors - I bet you even have proper competition there, don't you?
No lorry drivers? Maybe I should have read every last comment, but I only searched for 'tacho', 'truck' and 'lorry'. In the UK, all Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) drivers are obliged to carry tachographs, and produce them (I believe) on demand from the police. There may be more than that to it, I only know that much from hitch-hiking! The tacho shows speed over time (can't think what else), and can be used against the driver who speeds or exceeds the permitted driving durations.
Only it's not a very grave crime, is it? I like the potato chip analogy - he did look at military potato chips, though, which most people would know is considered more naughty by most countries. I hope his counsel is good and makes sure the sentence fits the crime. I don't like it when somebody hacks my computer, it makes me angry. I'd want to be able to tell them how angry I was. I hope the judge stops there, and marks McKinnon's card, maybe wastes some of McKinnon's time and money. I think a custodial sentence would be harsh, but then, he didn't break my rules. And like others have pointed out here, you have to play by the local rules. I get the impression the USA isn't the worst place to be extradited to. At least they're doing it in public this time! It's going to hurt a bit Gary, but you have been a naughty boy.
Once upon a time, documents were stored in folders, in boxes, on shelves, in rooms, on floors, in buildings, in places, joined by bicycle, rail, roads and ships and aeroplanes. Everything was in its place, and its place was hard to get to. Then hypertext joined it all up. There's a reason we don't use 3d for browsing, we don't care where the information is, so long as we can follow the links.
3d browsing has its place. The cube engine wouldn't be nearly so much fun if one could just click on links to get to the carrot.
