Yes, it is rather appropriate.  I wonder how Sandza got his info in the
first place.  Stories to the hackers of glorification in the annals of
NEWSWEEK?

On another note, among all those security breakers will probably come a
few who will grow up and make computer security a lot more real than it
is now.  I don't believe the FBI should crack down so hard on these people.
The problem ought to be solved from the other end, the computer end.
Don't lock the people up after the damage is done, prevent the damage from
being done in the first place.
