Anyhow… I was at this event, I was even asked to speak on the pannel, but decided not to. But in anycase, during the end of the talk, there was a small contest. The few questions asked where quite easy and fun… I managed to grab a T-Shirt which says “I met your daughter on Myspace and all I got was a lousy blowjob and this shirt”, for answering a question about what scene on the TV premier of Wargames was deleted (The rotary payphone phreaking, obviously). and a book from MIT Press “The Elements of Computing Systems” which is a kick ass book! The question was about which computer did David Lightman use in the movie (IMSAI 8080). Good fun!

I’m just suspicious of the way people in “the hacking seen” are hesitant to reference him. I also notice in most text file’s, and article’s he’s passivly riddiculed.

That’s pretty strange for someone with such achievment’s. He even designed a tried, and tested “uncrackable” firewall at ShopIP before he kicked the bucket(still hasn’t been cracked although the company shutdown.)

As far as his prison sentence..that sucks. It’s never pleasent to see bright people caged, and beaten up by careless criminal’s.

Ohh well (Jello Biafra quote goes here…)

oh, and ascii p0rn? nostalgia? are you implying that in the past there was ascii pr0n? maybe i’m too young to understand the appeal of it…

I know alot of people where jealous/hater’s because of his knowledge, and you’d only make your self look like a moron questioning anything technoligy related he said as he had year’s of expierience in most engineering field’s.

Also why couldn’t a man who made hundered’s of thousand’s a year not get dentures?
