HEY YOU – Got a spare bike sitting around, collecting dust in your garage? I’m looking for a ladies bike, not real picky on color, brand, or anything else, as long as it works. Drop me a line at fraggedformysins@gmail.com or leave a comment, or if you know me, hit my cell phone. Thanks.

You may vaguely recall this teenager breaking in to T-mobile’s network and accessing sensitive data, including the data of a Secret Service agent. Well, they finally found a suitable punishment for him:

“A hacker who infiltrated the network of T-Mobile USA Inc. and accessed personal information of hundreds of customers, including a Secret Service agent, was sentenced Monday to one year of home detention.”

Way to go guys. You sentenced a hacker, someone who quite possibly may not go outside anyway… to stay inside. Might as well sentence a whale to a year of ocean detention while your at it, would be just as meaningful.

(Yeah, I know the article says they also fined him, but thats not as funny).

FL: Get me a sandwhich – will go right over most of your’s heads, but the true geeks will giggle in delight.

So the management class better be easy. So far the common sense train is rolling hardcore up in here, but I’m sure they will find a way to apply technical words that are hard to say to concepts that are relatively easy. This is not unusual for Tech.

Sudo, take me to Georges.

Buth.
