I got on Slashdot!

After hearing a program called The Interview late the other night on the BBC World Service which featured Gary Mc Kinnon, a British hacker wanted in the states for wandering around military systems which he “hacked” simply by looking for administrator accounts with blank passwords.

Gary claims he was looking for evidence of UFO coverups and anti-gravity technology reverse engineered from said discoveries. He also admits to smoking rather too much pot while doing all this. A fascinating interview, fascinating enough for my submission to make it onto Slashdot!

All comments off, sorry
