A conspiracy theorist hacks into the U.S. DoD computers to look for what? UFOs?

Surely he can't hack into the foolproof computers of Area 51, they're offline!

[tet68]

Hah, they use alien crystal computers anyway.

Asperger’s is so close to normal it shouldn’t even be treated. Easy to hide behind, impossible to disprove. Anyone with an anti-social bent who prefers to be alone could fake it.

According to U papers, in this case it’s a recent diagnosis too - very convenient!

[Vanders9]

Who said conspiracy theories aren’t dangerous?

“His mother Janis Sharp said she feared for her son’s mental health if he was extradited. “

Give me a break! If he had positive mental health, at the time, he wouldn’t have hacked into any computer, let alone a Government’s system.

Can’t do the time? Then, don’t do the crime!

Were the NASA computers Microsoft ?

If they were, NASA should be prosecuted for incompetence and complicity.

This is the guy who claims to have encountered documents pertaining to a covert "space navy" arm of the U.S.military during his intrusions into DoD files.

I find it interesting that the government is going to such lengths to bust a guy who at best is a trespasser. He didn't steal any money or release any classified info (with the exception of the "space navy" stuff, if true). Neither did he release warez into DoD systems, as far as I know. What he did do was embarass the DoD, and possibly reveal the deepest secret of all time...

Microsoft makes computers?

[Buckeye McFrog]

a Lone Gunmen wannabe?

[PapaBear3625]

Sure, he hacked into 97 high-security military computers (obviously not as secure as they SHOULD have been!) to satisfy curiosity about UFOs. He was not paid by any foreign entity for any information thus obtained. I believe him utterly. 8-)

U-2012>Were the NASA computers Microsoft ?

Microsoft makes computers?

I knew some ignorant person would say that !

Microsoft software has been designed to be hackable.

Any secure system must be Unix or some flavor thereof.

[Berlin_Freeper]

He wanted to go inside the system and laugh about it.

Now he is really going inside the system.

LoL!

[Travis T. OJustice]

So, do they make computers, or the software? You clearly said microsoft computers, not software, so that makes YOU the ignorant person. If you don’t want to be called on your ignorant errors, don’t make them. Duh.

[fr_freak]

Once we get our hands on this guy, we should sentence him to a number of years of supervised “community service”, whereby he continues to hack our system so that we can find all of the security holes.

There are some people who stand in a garage
and think they are an automobile.

There are some people who try to parse
a sentence and think they are intelligent.

I've been in the IT trade for forty years.

Once you put an op/sys on a piece of hardware
it takes on the characteristics of the software.

Hence the use of the term "microsoft computers"

If you want security, you don't use microsoft software.

If the US Government wants security, you use the software
designed and funded to be secure against enemy attack.

That is: some flavor of Unix©

[Travis T. OJustice]

And you came so close to being almost correct. Good try.

[Uri’el-2012]

schmuck

[Travis T. OJustice]

Is that how you always respond when you are wrong, putz. א שמוק

May you one day know the lovingkindness and salvation of YHvH.
