US army computers 'shut down by hacker'
By Catriona Davies
(Filed: 28/07/2005)
A Briton facing extradition to America for perpetrating "the biggest computer hack of all time" left a message criticising American foreign policy on an army computer, a court heard yesterday.
Gary McKinnon, 39, is accused of accessing 97 US government computers, causing damage estimated at $700,000 (£370,000)...
...It was claimed he left a note on an army computer in 2002 saying US foreign policy was "akin to government-sponsored terrorism". The note allegedly said: "It was not a mistake that there was a huge security stand down on September 11 last year. I am Solo. I will continue to disrupt at the highest levels."...
has anyone heard of this guy?

Best way to disrupt or terrorise America? Forget hacking the government, forget flying planes into financial buildings.. cut off the supply of donuts.

Who uses OSX as a webserver?

They didn't have Doomer. it's all blown out of proportion to aid the extradition request and use the guy as an example so noone dares to try.

Close, but not quite. Sever the supply lines for Soda, Big Macs, Budweiser, and smokes. Nationwide fucking panic.

A lot of things are chemically addictive besides drugs, like sex and love between a mother and child
