Hi there ---

I was interested in opinions about the contents of the Hacking
Issue (I think it was March)?

Is the cracker (aka dark side hacker) the antithesis of a programmer?

Does every access to a system need to be monitored?

Why cut off my resources to protect me? my university? my work?

Who should pay if someone gets into a "sensitive" system? The programmer
who developed the software? the sys admin? the "cracker" that may
have stumbled into the system by "accident"?

When is a prank a felony?

I am interested in all opinions  (gotta get a new flame suit though ;-)  )
