Hacker fears 'UFO cover-up.'
  • Typical.
  • Normally they would have just turned the brain-beam on him, but he was wearing his anti-brain-beam head.
  • That's why they need to outlaw tinfoil.
  • I'm amused.
  • I'd be amused but for the thought of the number of consecutive life sentences this relatively harmless dude is going to end up serving. Also: "Yes, even in the top-secretest, spookiest corridors of Pentagonal Power, three out of five computers still have the username set to 'admin' and the password to 'herehaveallmyshit'!" ...Wasn't this a big, shocking revelation like, ten or fifteen years ago? Can we fire all the people in charge and change the passwords now, please?
  • GM: No, the graphical remote viewer works frame by frame. It's a Java application, so there's nothing to save on your hard drive, or at least if it is, only one frame at a time. SK: So did you get the one frame? GM: No. SK: What happened? GM: Once I was cut off, my picture just disappeared. Hahaha. Ever heard of print screen?
  • I'm disgusted by how easy it was to break into government computers, even post-9/11. Apparently, even a moron could do it.
  • I would be against extradition of anything remotely sentient to the USA. Try, Judge and punish him in Britain.
  • "Hahaha. Ever heard of print screen?" First thing I thought of, too. The guy's an idiot. Also, he seems to think we still use rivets in our satelites. (not saying he's wrong about UFO coverup, although he probably is, being an idiot, but he's not going to find it in those machines) He shouldn't get locked away. In fact I think Kevin Mitnick is co-hosting Coast to Coast now, so he could wish to have Condor's luck.
  • That's why they need to outlaw tinfoil. First they came for the tinfoil, but I didn't speak up because I'm not a crackpot.
  • "I'm not a crackpot." oh, I beg to differ!
  • Why do they call it tinfoil, when in actual fact the hats are made of aluminum foil..er, when in actual fact people tell me that they are made of aluminum foil.
  • Quick! Rivets for the crackpots.
  • SK: So you would log on in the middle of the night, say? GM: Yes, I'd always be juggling different time zones. Doing it at night time there's hopefully not many people around. But there was one occasion when a network engineer saw me and actually questioned me and we actually talked to each other via WordPad, which was very, very strange. OMG!! I finally found the secret of l33t hackers that hack into Nasa! They use WordPad! Seriously, wtf? Having a conversation via WordPad? What, did he hack in using calculator and copy all the information to his computer using MS Paint, too?
  • Tinfoil is so 1998. Velostat is where it's at now.
  • Splice, the reason why hackers use Wordpad is because it's a pad. Not only can you write in it, you can live inside it.
  • Werdpad is teh kewl!
  • from the article:
    I want evidence brought forward, or at least want the Americans to have to provide evidence in order to extradite me, because I know there is no evidence of damage
    and this is the most serious point of this guy's situation. the u.k. has given away the store to the u.s. in extraditon cases without a quid pro quo.
