But nothing wrong with hoping that this time they'd make it stick.

There's nothing* worse than an author pulling a comment after other commentards have posted witty replies! Oliver and I SLAVED over these gems and you've heartlessly orphaned them. Where is your Christmas spirit?

The only good hacker is dead or in prison
Come on down to the Iron Bar Hotel.
Why bother
17 arrests but no charges have been filed on any of them?
Yet another complete and total waste of time.
Well, Plod have to make sure there's no chance of any of the "suspects" landing Plod in it, don't they...
Cynical, moi?
laptop + phone
What I want to know is what happened with the laptop and phone
