Then it was slink. It's been 16 years, details can get a bit fuzzy.

It's GNAA, arguably been trolling Slashdot as long as SPARC has been around.

I think the first version of Debian I'd ever used was Hamm on an old Sparcstation IPC.

What a coincidence. That used to be my exact password until I read somewhere you aren't supposed to use your name as a password.

Ah, ok, i think i got it (as best i can while brushing my teeth. :) ) I appreciate this.

If i use this in the near future, i ought to let you know (and thank you again.)

Nice.

I'm a quickie editor when something annoys me enough, so, i don't feel like learning it extensively, though admittedly, it'd be nice.

I ought to come back to this post before writing a new script though. Maybe some more interest will help me appreciate this information a lot more.

Thank you!

3. The hackers posted a graphic that explained their motivation and you didn't read it.

The company running Ashley-Madison also runs sites that promote human trafficking.

>I would actually be interested to know what the logic is here

All you have to do is read the graphic they posted on the site.

It's pretty shallow to think they're motivated by betrayal. The people behind the site appear to also run other sites that promote prostitution and human trafficking, and they even extort money from their own customers to protect their privacy by charging a fee to have personal information removed (which as we all know is probably not actually happening - those sites probably never delete anything unless it's to protect their own ass). The media doesn't seem to be showing the whole side of the story and just claiming this is about the ashleymadison site when it's much more than that. This looks like it was some kind of long-term effort to stop a company from profiting from what many might consider to be illegal and immoral activities.

I'm not condoning what the hackers have done, but this appears to be a conflict between two dark groups on the internet. I don't see a good guy here.

No reason they should, this is using either 2.4Ghz Wifi or a GSM connection, neither of which have the encryption restrictions the HAM bands use.

Looking at ProxyGambit it either uses Point to Point directional wifi, or a 2G connection, so it wasn't an FCC 'encryption' issue.

Unfortunately no, you'd probably be surprised the stupid things some doctors think. If it's outside their specialty, they can be horribly wrong.

Is it addressed to her name or her email address? If just the latter, than who cares, add it to the spam filter. Or recover the login information and unsubscribe the person from all their services.

Aaron Schwartz and the Pirate Bay team were also quite a bit older than 15
