First encountered a computer: At home. Morris' father once brought home one of the original Enigma cryptographic machines from the NSA. It became a household conversation piece.

:Q I'd like one of those. Nice conversation piece indeed!

Helsingius' troubles started when he was raided in 1995 by the Finnish police after the Church of Scientology complained that a penet.fi customer was posting the "church's" secrets on the Net.

Bahahahahhahaha... I like how they put "church" in quotes. That's hilarious. 😀

"This self-described "techno-hippie" now spends his days fighting the "evil conglomerate," which includes Microsoft, AOL and even the Motion Picture Association of America,..."


Oh God, not the MPAA. What will we ever do with such an evil in the world?

 

I know a couple of those guys personally 🙂
