...practically as long as there's been an Internet, vandals, troublemakers and criminals have sought to exploit it. Even before the advent of the personal computer, "phone phreaks" manipulated computerized phone systems to make free long-distance calls. (Reportedly among them, by many accounts: future computer pioneers Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, who would go on to found Apple Computer.) One infamous phreak, John Draper, became known as Captain Crunch after discovering in 1972 that he could fool AT&T's network with the tone from a plastic whistle distributed with the breakfast cereal. Computer hacker Kevin Mitnick became...

George Soros may not want to wear shoes from Wal-Mart and eat McDonald's hamburgers but that does not mean that both establishments have not helped feed and clothe people who might otherwise struggle...
...stands. [Junior goalie] Katie Martino was playing amazingly. Offensively, it was just putting it away. There’s really no explaining it.”The two teams traded two more sets of goals, and with the score tied at 3 it appeared that neither squad could exploit a weakness in its opponent’s defensive game. But Harvard would embark on a 5-0 run late in the first period, getting impressive solo shots from sophomore Jess Halpern and Flynn.“We knew that they were going to push out on us on defense...
