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.
