Those you mention have an important thing in common: no college education. Taxi driver in former Communist country is an expert hacker? Makes sense to me. Brains plus good education in sciences and maths plus slow economy = taxi driver with lots of time to lurk about. Heck, maybe he's an agent of a foreign government? What do we really know?

Were I more of an optimist, I'd like your theory. And I WANT to believe your theory.

But I see more and more of the University system as a huge, cynical engine of indoctrination. In over a dozen different ways, I guess.

And I think he was a bright, creative man who saw opportunities once open to him closing. But having stayed out of college and grad school, he hadn't been conditioned into revering the whole bloody system.

And very much of Romania still remembers Ceausescu, and many of them mistrust authority. And so I think he simply turned his creativity on the people who prominently presented themselves as these paragons and who were nothing of the sort.
