A Hacker and a Porsche
 
Will probably end up in OT, but I found this amusing..... Maybe you can use the trivia at your next party :)

Was reading up on (former) computer hacker Kevin Poulsen, current Senior Editor at Wired News and came across this excerpt from his online wikipedia biography (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Poulsen).

"His best-appreciated hack was a takeover of all of the telephone lines for Los Angeles radio station KIIS-FM, guaranteeing that he would be the 102nd caller, and netting him a Porsche 944 S2."

Now THAT's dedication......or stupidity, depending on how you look at it. Wonder where that car is now.
