You know, I don’t think anyone would have accused the Palin e-mail hacker of being a genius in the first place. But after reading this article from Computerworld, I’m convinced the guy was an even bigger idiot than I first suspected. Most hackers have a tiny bit of intelligence, as they’re usually able to pull off some pretty sophisticated computer tricks. But this guy seems to be an everyday script kiddie who probably learned what he knows in his keyboarding class in 10th grade.
This is a classic from the article:
It was only after finding nothing that the hacker realized how easily he could be caught, since he had used only one proxy to access the account. So he decided to make access to it available to others on the /b/ board by posting Palin’s recently reset password. Rubico claimed that he “then promptly deleted everything and unplugged my Internet and just sat there in a comatose state.”
“Just sat there in a comatose state“. BWAHAHAHAHA. He don’t know comatose. Just wait ’til he becomes some tattooed 300lb bald guy’s girlfriend.

The Univ. of Tn student has suffered bouts of depression in the past, according to his own computer postings, said family spokesman and attorney, and is on medication in a psychiatric hospital. Please allow the family to handle this in private during this most stressful time in their child’s life.
And I will curse–badly. Let’s hope the Secret Service and FBI don’t get stymied in efforts to prosecute. Discovery alone would be interesting, wouldn’t it?

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

Actually, I'm all for forgiveness. If coupled with a critique of "bad parenting".

kowalski (Diary) Thursday, September 18th at 7:39PM EST (link)Gabriel Ramuglia, the Washington Post, Anonymous, proxy servers colocated in Chicago…and the son of a Democratic legislator from Tennessee, Al Gore’s home state, the guy who invented the internet himself.
This story is getting more fascinating by the hour. I can’t wait for the trial; I just hope the FBI and the Secret Service have enough agents on the case to chase all the trails wherever they lead…

Governor Palin’s 17-year old daughter, well, she’s fair game.
I will not be surprised.

Certain speech is evil.
SJG Friday, September 19th at 12:08AM EST (link)BS.
I find your “prison rape” jokes to be HIGHLY . . . HIGHLY . . . HIGHLY offensive.
If we were to take all the evil that happens in the world and put it on a spectrum, then “prison rape” in America would be near the far end of the spectrum outdoing other things such as practices in China, South America, Russia, and so on and so forth.
I think that a country that CELEBRATES an evil such as this as much as we CELEBRATE it (and we do) really deserves to have its butt kicked by a bigger Diety.
I find that kind of humor to be very evil. I know that in the “joke-telling world” that this is the equivalent of “being macho” and “tough,” but truthfully, it is flat out demonic, and certain people (like yourself) are just too dull to figure it out on their own. So I am telling you.
I’m sure that you are going to have some bomb to throw at me. Whatever. Go ahead.
This society does VERY LITTLE to actually fight evil. Yet, when evil comes to it, they sob so disconsolately. A major part of the problem is how violent, and vile, and vulgar, and abjectly irreverent our “speech” is.
The third commandment is not just a prohibition against profanity, it is also a prohibition against any and all things that defile the human spirit.
From what I can tell, you love climbing into the gutter and defiling as many people as you possibly can by the way you use language.
And then you wonder why society is so ignoble.
You’re part of the problem, brother. My criticism is severe, but, if you knew me, you would also know how toned down this is compared to how forceful I usually write. So, take that as a sign of encouragement.
I would suggest that you “not be part of the problem.”
Thanks for listening.
SJG.
Well, ain't you superior? Thanks
