There was a book which predicted the rise of the evil leftist computer geeks. It was written by a famous mathematician whom I'm sure you have heard of.

After a quick glance at that I think that if you wish to discuss it you should do so in Hot and Spicy.

Can we discuss sugar plums and lemon drops here, or do we have to do that in Hot and Spicy too?

No that is for Ten Forward. No science or technology issue there.

The linked to book is from what I saw a continuous attack on those on the political left and that is neither science nor technology and is definitely political and therefore belongs in Hot and Spicy.

Isn't the author of that piece the Uni-Bomber?

I didn't recognize the name but you're right (I checked). I'd never heard that the Unabomber was a mathematician, not surprising as I haven't really been inclined to follow the "careers" of such people as him. That of course makes it even more of a Hot and Spicy Topic.

knightstorm · « **Reply #30 on:** August 01, 2008, 10:24:50 am »

Considering Toasty's article was about Geeks gone wild, I thought it would be funny to post a link to the Unabomber's manifesto. And yes, he was a mathematician and briefly worked as a college professor.

Yea and it wasnt just some "college"i heard didnt he work at the MIt?

knightstorm · « **Reply #32 on:** August 01, 2008, 11:33:51 am »

According to wikipedia it was UC Berkley.

FRA.E.Kehakoul_XC · « **Reply #33 on:** August 01, 2008, 11:44:57 am »

Not bad either or is it?

I didn't really bother looking up the school he taught at before. I just remember that when they arrested him, they were surprised about how well educated he was.

Judge Kevin McCarthy today found insufficient evidence for three of the four counts.

Prosecutor Conrad Del Rosario said he will appeal the ruling and try to have the three counts reinstated.

According to Childs' attorney Richard Shikman, the three counts for which McCarthy found insufficient evidence relate to accusations he had improperly connected three modems to the network, "essentially an anti-hacking statute," he said.

A fourth count that was allowed to stand was for Childs' alleged refusal to hand over the passwords to the system to network administrators.

"No actual (network) services ... were affected," Shikman maintained today.

Shikman also said he intends to file a new motion to reduce Childs' bail, currently set at $5 million.

If convicted of the remaining charge, Childs could still face a maximum five-year prison sentence, Del Rosario said.

Just an update for anyone who may be interested.

Which he will have served by the time these clowns get him to trial.
