gary mcKinnon the wanna be hacker gets busted and they still haven't extradited him...
Now they send out a call to get hackers?
So the call goes like this...
"Hey DARPA... I been a hacker for x years, where do I sign up"
10 minutes later Feds are knocking at the door

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is looking for cybersecurity expertise in the most unlikely place: the hacker community. DARPA says it will fund independent security researchers and experimental projects, with the hopes of implementing cybersecurity projects faster. Awardees would also keep commercial rights over their work. NextGov reports the unconventional approach is meant to attract nontraditional players like hobbyists, startups and hackers.

AH So Gary is just a Hollywood actor... I guess that explains why he forgot about screen capture and internet cache
Well at least I gotz names of 'Non-terrestrial officers" But I tend to knock on the front door
But yeah, I know the difference... it is just usually 'hacker' refers to the "evil virus unleashing wanna mess up your system" types in the public's eye
And you can't tell me those don't exist

a few years of working within the system then stifles & kills any creativity said hackers have, and then there will be another call for hackers to "work with us".=>
Tristar & Zorgon be to sure to keep an eye out for any Depth Charges.
