Explanation on the Sunglass Hut robbery from a former manager of a Sunglass Hut: This is actually something that happens fairly often. The sunglasses sold at sunglass hut are typically highly desirable designer brands with a fairly high mark-up, i.e. Prada, Versace, Tiffany, etc. An...

I didn't know his security clearance, so I automatically don't know anything else about the case? I've read extensively about this case, but I've read mainly about his detainment, not his alleged crime, because frankly I don't care much about the allegations. I have never claimed to be an expert...

So the computer was in a locked and guarded room, but they let him enter and leave the room with removable media? Physical security is a major part of network security. P.S. You'd be mentally disturbed too if you were put in solitary confinement for almost a year.

I don't know for sure what level security clearance he had, but as he was not very high ranking or in a sensitive position, I wouldn't think it would be that high. Also, from everything I've read about the case, none of the info he leaked was classified top secret. The windows permissions...

Because unlike the federal government, Sony has to keep it's customers happy to make a profit and stay in business. Bradley Manning (who is not a hacker) was able to "steal" (allegedly steal) secrets from the DOD by simply going to a DOD computer and burning them onto a Lady Gaga cd. They (the...

RJ-45 is a connector standard, not a cable standard. I think you meant cat-5 or cat-6 cable with barbed wire. I'd like to see the IEEE standard for that!

You're right to call me out on my choice of words here; what I should have said is that it's wrong to assume that all libertarians are apologists for corporations and individuals like the Koch brothers. This is simply not the case. I first heard about the Koch brothers' corruption in Wisconsin...

Amen. You beat me to this one, but I couldn't have said it better myself. Nice to see there's at least one other anarchocapitalist here. (Although I kind of hate that term, because I'm an anarchist first and a capitalist second.) And to everybody else, google Murray Rothbard, he said it...

The Koch brothers are simply the latest in a VERY long line of opportunists using libertarian rhetoric as a disguise for their mercantilist self interest, and while it is certainly true that they have given money to many prominent libertarian groups, (some of us libertarians refer to them as...

I am very in favor of a lot of the stuff Anonymous has been doing lately, particularly in regard to the Wikileaks cables, but on this one I'm not really sure where the hacking came in. Robert Wenzel wrote about the Koch brothers connection and the utility sales clause in the bill over a week ago...

Of course not, as a Libertarian gun owner I should know. However, many libertarians, especially individualist anarchist libertarians such as myself, do not support the NRA because their main priority seems to not be protecting gun rights but rather getting Republicans elected to office...

Asterisks.

I'm a Libertarian and I'm fucking hilarious.
