| 01.11.96 | It was months in the making but now it's complete. The L0pht has a new 128K ISDN connection to the internet. The actual installation took NYNEX and our ISP 14 days to complete! We weren't very happy to pay big bucks for such sucky service care of our local telco monopoly. This saga of incompetance and bureaucracy has been immortalized for others to learn from. |

Randal L. Schwartz is convicted of three felony counts under Oregon's Computer
Crime Law. He is the author of the O'Reilly Programming Perl book and was
working as a system administrator at Intel at the time.
Friends of Randall Schwartz maintains a
site with detailed coverage of this travesty of justice. Highly recommended if
you are a system administrator.

The State of Pennsylvania has criminalized the transfer of plans or
instructional procedures that are used to defraud service providers
such as cellular phone, cable TV, and other utility companies. This
clearly unconstitutional
law
was signed by the Governor on June 13, 1995.
Please fight this bad law. If the security systems used by these
services cannot survive being exposed by free speech then it is the security
that is broken, not free speech. The government should require the
service providers to provide adequate security instead of gagging the
populace. |
