Pick your battles. Do you know how many people come through our
drive-through window, and present as identification an ID card instead
of a driver's license?
It's not worth going further with it.

Especially considering the general difficulty with tying a specific
individual to Ian's posts here on the server. Could well have been
someone who hijacked his system and made the claim. ;-)

Yep, I know I've been tempted, but it was easier just to restrict ssh
access to my machine based on RSA public key authentication rather than
passwords. :-)

It would be very foolish to do something important and not make regular
backups. A simple hard drive failure can destroy all of your work at any
moment. Or a power surge (it's not even rare that lightning has fried a
computer so completely that all data has been irreversibly lost). Especially
in the latter case (and tons of others, such as a fire) you can't even rely
on RAID for safekeeping.

Yeah. Sun has developed this OS for like 3 decades, and there aren't many
apps for it. Just the OS. They have been doing it just for the fun of it.
Sure.

While definitely pervy, that's not necessarily illegal in his country.
16 is a very common age of consent in many countries (including many
western ones, including many states of the US, Canada, and many European
countries, eg. Finland).
Such an age difference may be frowned upon, but not necessarily illegal.

Of course it would, but just because someone's being foolish doesn't make
it OK to hack their system and destroy it because you think they're the
source of problems on your system.

Unless the country of Georgia has a sports team named "The Tigers", I'm
pretty sure they're in the state of Georgia in the USA. :-)
But I'll grant you it's not obvious without looking really close. :-)

At least this: http://www.avert.org/aofconsent.htm lists 16 as the
age of consent for the state of Georgia, USA.
