Now Mr. Swartz can offer himself as a case study in his next class.

I would love to have those.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

This is one time when the misused term “ironic” would be appropriate.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

In an indictment released Tuesday, prosecutors say Swartz stole 4.8 million articles between September 2010 and January after breaking into a computer wiring closet on MIT's campus

That's not hacking.

Harvard graduated Dead Ted (a cheater) and Obama (a total idiot who I cannot believe ever passed a real test.)

For that alone, we can seriously question what standards that school has for entrance and graduation.

Oxford grads used to refer to Cambridge as the “spy school”.

Perhaps we can start referring to Harvard as the “cheater’s school”.

If he goes to prison, he'd better be considering a better story of why he's locked up.

I'd be telling people that I was a hitman for a drug cartel.

LOL.

[Huskrrrr]

Another example of the MIT/Harvard rivalry, albeit one of the more serious pranks. My ex said, while a student at MIT, one of the more popular T-shirts was “Better dead than Crimson.”

Did he find any of Obama’s papers? Doubtful... they probably don’t exist.

[BfloGuy]

I am becoming more and more convinced that you shouldn’t be able to own ideas — even after they’re put down on paper.

[JLS]

This is a very odd story. Why didn’t this guy access JSTOR via a Harvard computer?

Another thing he was apparently involved in [besides Reddit] was an open source whistleblower/leaker submission system called SecureDrop, inspired by Wikileaks:

“The first iteration, StrongBox, was used by the New Yorker, the Washington Post, the New York Times, and the Associated Press, allowing secure communications between journalists and sources in possession of sensitive information and documents. Those same journalists now rely on the latest version SecureDrop.”

I thin this guy hung himself in 2013 or at least that ws one tory.
