They DDOSed two gaming networks at a time of their peak load, seemingly for the lulz. There is a non-subtle difference between that and taking down critical networks, both in attitude and required skills.

I haven't read into these DDOSes any more deeply, but thus far I have not found anything that even suggests at them breaking into the servers (except the headlines that seem to inclucde DDOS attacks as "hacks").

Furthermore, e.g. the Daily Mail reports that

It is obvious the script kiddies have started to repent to some extent. Dangerous criminals usually don't.

Finally, even the arrested brit is out on bail now, so obviously he is not a dangerous criminal either.

Let me ask this the other way: what benefit would come out of arresting the kid? Do you honestly fear he would continue and escalate his criminal activities now?

Being Finnish, I am sort of familiar with the Finnish legal system.
That said, I don't understand why the police would even want to arrest him. I mean, he is a script kiddie, not a dangerous criminal.
They probably told his parents, who are now in the process of mending their mistakes in this juvenile's upbringing.

These sentences will live forever! Can't wait for the memes.
Honestly, my BS detector is beeping. This has to be a hoax, right?

You wouldn't have even bothered posting, had you actually RTFA half way through:

What luxury! I remember we having only 8 bits in our processors, and we had to use Arduino to get the blog creds.

The front page makes no mention of embedded software. Instead it talks about "commanding robots" and shows an example of connecting from a linux desktop over a serial cable.
This is not "embedded".

No its not.
Especially if you are a Luxembourg-based company.

Seems it actually was:

Or could Stockholm http://here.com/59.333685,18.1037361,11,0,0,normal.day sue them for pirating?

And why is trasporting people so much nobler than giving them a thrill? Why is dying for the cause or 'trasporting people' more acceptable than dying for 'making people's lifes happier'?

I guess your answer to "what is the meaning of life" is quite opposite to mine.

Or Wednesday will win?
Why is this on article on /.?

In case anyone is intersted, this slideset gives a nice overview of this "WWII tech".

25EUR/month.
Only cap is the LTE is throttled to 50Mbps, and price doesn't include foreign calls or SMS.
But I guess you/your grandmother don't live in their service area, as pretty much evey carrier here has a similar offer, and its impossible to miss the ads.

Let me guess - the source for that firmware patch is stored on a Samsung EVO 840 disk?

Beacuse those who understand or know history fail to teach the rest of us? Or at least provide a link.

No - the wikipedia article doesn't relly teach us why it failed. Besides it being obvioulsy a bad idea. Bad ideas have thrived earlier - what made the clipper chip idea different from any other bad idea that passes to a law?

A-ha!
The nVidia rendering surely didn't take the reflection of these mirrors into account when rendering this "proof"!
It is a hoax! q.e.d.
