Moscow Hacker Arrested in Billboard Porn Stunt

Few days ago Moscow traffic ground to a halt when a giant advertising screen above a main road south of the Kremlin began showing a pornographic video. A 40-year-old unemployed computer expert had hacked the server of the company that screens the commercials. The prankster was traced by police and arrested. He said he only wanted to “give people a laugh”, but Russian TV reports that one elderly driver didn’t appreciate the joke. He was so shocked by the sex film he had a heart attack at the wheel.

Featured above: sitting atop the 16 sputter machines is this good luck talisman. Such idols are common in southeast Asia. In Japan, they take the form of Maneki Neko, a cat with a raised paw gesturing for good fortune to come to him.

users pray on their own…

Our Hard Drive
Which art internal
Volume C by name;
Thy code be clean,
Thy fonts be seen

On screen as they are on paper.
Give us this day our documents,
And lead us not into fragmentation
But deliver us our data.
For thine is the SCSI,
And the EISA, and the NuBus,
Forever and Ever,
Amen
