Yeah don't get me wrong ... I understand his situation totally. I didn't see the note at the bottom of the ebay auction that stated it would be used to pay for legal fees untill after I sent the email.I just can't imagine paying that much for an old toshiba laptop. I have a slightly used Toshiba 400cs that I am willing to sell for $15,000 dollars if anyone is interested. =]
I can't believe you were so enthusiastic to post the URLs to this list that you didn't even read them fully. The Kevin Mitnick story is probably the most well-known hacker[0] case in the world. As such, whether you like it or not, it is now a piece of the earth's history. I personally would be proud to own the laptop, if I had that kind of money to throw around :). Whether Kevin was the worlds gr34t3$+ l4m3r or a guy who actually had skills, he made a hell of a sacrifice for what he did. He deserves some respect, not as one of your undergr0und el1t3 br0thers, but as an icon of the 20th century[1]. The post that parented this thread is an epitome of how bad this list really is, less of the trolling please. Dave. [0] Systems cracker, hax0r, [insert politically correct term here]. [1] I wrote this in about a minute; it probably doesn't reflect what I really think :).
