Re:And good riddance. (Score:4, Insightful) by xplenumx (703804) on Saturday September 06, @05:27PM (#6889410) The University of Washington had a “student run” program where returning students could volunteer to help freshmen move into their dorm room. In return for their help, the UW would supply the volunteers with free food (Usually through SubWay, Dominos, etc, with a student leader ordering the food using UW budget codes). After everyone moved in, the group would disband and everyone would forget about it until the following fall. Approximately six years ago, the student leader who was in charge of ordering food decided in Winter quarter that he would use the budget codes and try to order up some food for him and his friends (http://tinyurl.com/mhck) . What was Eric's excuse when he was eventually caught? "I was just trying to show how insecure the system was" and "I was really doing Res, Life a favor". Sound familiar? Eric Feigenbaum then wrote a series of articles to the student newspaper, The Daily, regarding his experience and how the university didn't appreciate his 'generous act’. Personally I become extremely nervous when someone decides to conduct some unannounced public service, especially through illegal means. Usually the "I'm just misunderstood. I was really trying to help out" excuse comes out after the individual gets caught, but some individuals will come forward first, hoping that it'll cover their tracks. For example, I had one employee to came up to me and said that they learned how to use the copier without first putting in their copy code. Tums out the employee decided to "test" his method by making over 5000 copies over a period of three days (all after hours). Another employee within the firm reported that some equipment was missing (it would have been discovered later that week). It was eventually discovered that the very same employee had stolen the equipment the night before. I don't know the first thing about Adrian Lamo besides what's written in the referenced article. He may be the most honest, altruistic, and generally nice guy in the warld Goad far him The nrohlem is that the next Adrian Tama mav nat FBI(19-cv-1495)-1898 ; http://slashdot.org/articles/03/09/06/1325221 shtml?tid=123 &tid=126&tid=172&tid=99 9/8/2003
