You're kidding right?

I just tried to put my opinion in perspective. After all, if I simply said "Linux isn't harder than Windows. It is just the user that makes it seem that way." It would come off as sounding snobish and stuck up. Besides, I am trying to get my post count up here on FWS. Well, at least word...

I still keep hearing that Linux is harder than Windows. I don't get it. It is different but not harder. The command line ( or cli )? Nope. Easy. Exhaustive collection of tools but nearly all have comprehesive help available. I run Linux 99% of the time. Both on a home server and on my...

Nitpick? Okay! 1024*1024*1024=1073741824 bytes = 1gb

Musings on the possibilities. Okay. First off, I am NOT a lawyer. I don't know squat about Australian law either. Now for the fun part. This is actually two seperate cases. Actually four. The first case is crimal. The unauthorized access is illegal in every country I can pronounce. So...

$200/hr. is a fairly good rate. And when one considers the fact that the dollar figure will prevent it from being in small claims court it could be considered a steal. I know, the probable internationalization of this case would preclude small claims court anyway. Which is another reason it is a...

You already did! I wanna watch you hit yourself. dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

I wasn't referring explictly to you. It was a flaw in their system. If you found it, someone else may already have found it and once they get in how do you keep them out. If they (some other black hat) are good enough, you'd never know. At least until . . . The next victim may lose more than...

What kind of concerns me is who else is affected that may not even know about it? HW didn't know until it was too late. You generally don't expect something like this to come from within a datacenter itself. And when you lose root and don't have the machine sitting right in front of you, you're...

HT > HW = HottWeelz

A simple letter from a lawyer will prolly get their attention more than a phone call. (the parents that is) Unless the parents are tech savy to some extent they may not know what HT would be referring to. A letter with some fancy letterhead with the words ATTORNEY AT LAW would however be...

Why? He should just contact HottWeelz directly and avoid the possible trouble of legal action. Remember, legal action can almost always be avoided by dealing in good faith directly. Yeah, kinda weird wording considering the situation but still valid point. OT Note: Six pages in under 10...

I realise it was a joke but. . . being a parent myself, I know how defensive a parent can be regarding their kids. Believe me.

You are right, being a kid does make for some wiggle room on judgment. I, personally, would call the feds on the one who actually did the deletion. Or at least make them financially sorry. $$$$ I was not aware of that. Fixed. Now I need a new sig. Got one for sale? <---------- JOKE!!!!!!

Well, I guess I will support this ridiculus thread. I'm bored. I need to get a life. Got one for sale? :tired2:

To be accurate, a felony record will prevent you from getting a job with the government or any of its contractors. While it is not heavily enforced outside of security related positions, it means that you legally can't even work for McDonalds as they have contracts with Uncle Sam. In short, a...

I can see a possible dilema that is facing HottWeelz (aka James) right now. If they are only teenagers, then a criminal record would seriously screw with their lives in the future. However, the point of the severity of the issue *must* be made known to them and to their parents (if they are...

If there may be any doubt, just ask Microsoft. They know all too well that even some seemingly innoculous information can cost a boat load of money due to lost man-hours and bad PR. People make mistakes, but this is a little too blatant to be called that.:shame: That would make them a...

That's not the point! The point is that you didn't report it and you told someone else who had no reason to be notified. While reporting it to the people responsible is not required by law, it is the right thing to do. Regardless of your intentions, by informing a third party, you...

As a customer of HottWeelz and a semi-directly affected customer, not a chance. Bypassing a system, even out of curiousity, is illegal. What should have happened is when you discovered the flaw is report it to who ever is responsible for maintaining the systems integrity. Instead you admit to...
