An online friend of mine in Belgium has been arrested in the last week. We do not know exactly why he was arrested, but it appears that this is the reason. We know he purchased this piece of software, and we are fairly certain he did not use it..I think he wanted to pull it apart.

Very frightening stuff indeed.

Willfully ignoring that tool is...kind of dumb. If i ask a mechanic how he takes a nut off the answer should be a wrench/driver..not some strange screwdriver technique.

There are ways to test critical thinking skills that arent predicated on ignoring glaringly obvious answers.
