After all is said and done, we will have to see how this court case pans out. It should be quite interesting. Definitely a test case. It might be more difficult than they realise. Wonder if the defendants will pool together for hotshot legal etc. and appeals if need be? It's the type of case a bigshot barrister (law firm) or even law professor would want on his résumé and might do cheap or pro-bono. And we shall see how they got the accused. They might be all from the one site, or type of site. Nothing mysterious or fantastic about it at all.
Its a lot easier being righteous than right.

Mez, PUH-LEAZE, you got thumped so bad in this thread that you have resorted to using smoke and mirrors in your replies so please dont try and imply anything different as they can go back and read where I provided links and names and phone numbers to my sources...and you...well lets just say that according to the same sources, you and your sycophants never bothered to contact them yet insisted I was incorrect. Really amazing that you have the ability not to check but know it is wrong anyway isnt it? And as for you Jemborg, I stand by my statements.

ROFLMAO
Well, he didn't take your advice Mez.
Dan old bean, if you are referring to my last post I'm allowed to speculate on topic and I freely admitted to it. It will be interesting to see how it pans out. You're free to challenge the content, yet all you can resort to is pathetic ad hominem. If it includes other previous posts... your links have been demonstrated to be worthless... repeatedly, your statements absurd. And you can only put down your lack of support to sycophants -strangers who don't know each other- who for some reason (scapegoating?) - have decided to gang up on you.
I wonder what it's like for you to rummage about in your "attic"? I'll bet you have some nice toy ray-guns and a few old copies of the X Files you consider reality TV there. Does David Ikle return your calls btw? lol
Perhaps in this case you aught to quit whist you're a behind.

Dan you must LOVE getting the sh1t kicked out of you, why else would you rile me up after I was done with you. I guess you felt I didn't beat on you hard enough. This thread has gotten into a beat on Dan thread. No one is on your side, and every one is wacking you. You remind me of a groundhog that has taken one too many wacks with a baseball bat. You make noise and shoot sh1t out your ass when you get wacked but you crawl back for more. You are just too much! I have been on AD since 2002. You are the biggest glutton for punishment I have ever seen!

Dan can't you say anything more witty than that! I liked you better when you were creative. Such as satellites at 1000 miles out that take pictures that resolve the dimples on a golf ball. That WAS a good one! I guess you have had one or two too many whacks with the old baseball bat. Come back for more you dumb ground hog!

Why should I be witty and creative to a person that refuses to check the sources and then states they are not true? On the other hand, I do find your creative attempts to reply somewhat amusing, especially when you try so hard to say that the sources you never bothered to check just didn't exist because you said so. It must be so magical to exist in your world where everything goes as you say just because you say.

I have been sort of an amused spectator in all this. I will also say that all of the links Dan has posted that I have went to were either non existent or not really related to the discussion. However, what I am interested in most is what, exactly, does ROTHF stand for? I haven't heard that one before. I'll admit that I'm an old geezer and not really up on all of the acronyms used nowadays. I guess I could just be dumb, I suppose. Could some enlighten me please?

xboxdvl2 and forkndave thanks for your support. Believe it or not I am not even the least bit ruffled by Dan. Why should I be? It is like arguing with a 7 yr old. I believe I am performing a public service. I am actually trying to educate him as to not post idiotic posts on AD or any other forum. Or at least not to defend them forever with foolishness. I actually believe he did get the message, he hasn't posted anything on a newer thread the last time I checked. This is not the first thread where he has posted moronic statements. However, this is the first time he has made a stand defending them to the bitter end. Dan has proven to be a bigger glutton for punishment than I could have imagined. Most persons back off from insults especially when they are not coming up with good ones themselves. I do not consider ROTHF a good comeback.
ROTHF is groundhog for "That didn't hurt a bit!".
I will keep whacking Dan with insults till he stops replying. Maybe Dan will keep us entertained all year.

Then both you and Jemborg are as dumb as the day is long. Here is yet even more proof that I am right in my statements and both of you are ignorant in yours. The only difference in my statements is that instead of Montana where the hacking incident happened, it was Blaine Minn. Read and weep as even you two are semi smart enough to know that without logs, there is no case, and not surprisingly...they not only got the man but are going to convict him as well! Sorta blows your whole argument that this cannot be done out of the water and showing your ignorance in this, one asks themselves exactly what else you are wrong about in your statements....

Blaine man charged with e-mailing child porn, threatening Joe Biden
MCT REGIONAL NEWS
By Rhoda Fukushima
Pioneer Press, St. Paul, Minn.
Published on Saturday, June 26, 2010

A Blaine man is accused of hacking into his neighbor?s computer and posing as that neighbor to send child pornography as well as a terroristic threat to Vice President Joseph Biden.
In an indictment Thursday, Barry Vincent Ardolf, 45, faces one count each of unauthorized access to a protected computer; possession of child pornography; transmission of child pornography; and threats to the president and successors to the presidency; and two counts of aggravated identity theft.
The indictment offers this account:
In February 2009, Ardolf hacked into his neighbor?s wireless Internet connection and accessed Yahoo e-mail and MySpace accounts he had created in that person?s name. Posing as the neighbor, Ardolf used those accounts to send messages and sexually explicit photos of children to the neighbor?s co-workers. He also posted pictures of child pornography on the MySpace page.
In March 2009, Ardolf created a Gmail account -- in the name of an actual Wayzata resident -- and sent an e-mail to the neighbor?s boss. That e-mail accused the neighbor of making unwanted sexual advances.
In May 2009, Ardolf used another Yahoo account to send an e-mail in the name of the neighbor and his wife. The e-mail, sent to the vice president of the United States, the governor and a senator from Minnesota, read in part:
"This is a terrorist threat! Take this seriously. I hate the way you people are spending money you don?t have. ... I?m assigning myself to be
judge, jury and executioner. ... I?ll kill you all one at a time. ... The first one of you will be dead by June 1."
Earlier this month, Ardolf was charged with aggravated identity theft and with threatening the vice president and other elected officials. Prosecutors alleged Ardolf hacked into the neighbor couple?s computer and sent threats, child pornography and other messages after they reported him to police for inappropriately touching one of their children.
Ardolf was planning to accept a plea offer in the case but rejected it at the last minute because it contained a recommendation that he be sentenced to at least two years in prison.
If convicted, Ardolf faces 20 years on the charge of transmitting child pornography, 10 years on the charge of possessing child pornography, five years each on the charges of unauthorized computer access and threatening the vice president. He also faces a mandatory two-year sentence on each count of aggravated identity theft.

Your as crazy as Ardolf haha.
I followed the link and there is no mention of the methodology employed Dan. It could be argued that anyone could successfully claim their wireless bandwidth was being stolen from that. It would have been much more useful if the article went into that exact detail as others are trying to do here. Seriously, I can see a dozen ways they would have clued on to that guy and they don't use fancy tech either. I.e. simple deduction, "Hey, my pervert paranoid neighbour is insane and hates me, ask anybody!". (I wonder what your neighbours say about you.) Plus he could have been plain stupid and didn't cover his tracks expertly. It hardly "proves" your point at all. Much less your other uninformed over-the-top arrogances.
Even though the definition of risible has your picture under it I honestly am starting to feel real pity for you. I feel I've been laughing at someone with a real disability. Like mocking a poor cripple.

Well good one Dan! I appreciate the effort and you are improving yourself. This was still not magic. The Hacker did enough to get homeland security after him. They have the rights to hack computers under national security. He sure did that. They hacked into the host and did not find the trace going back to the email site. Then they waited or installed a trap in the host's computer. When the hacker came on board, they went into his computer got his OS ID and with a little police work discovered that the hacker was a neighbor of the host. The next day they took the guy's computer and took him down for questioning. With in minutes they confirmed the computer that sent the threats was in fact the suspect's.
No magic but good police work. They normally can't hack into your computer like that unless you do threaten national security. However, if your computer has a bot net that may be the case without your knowledge.
Smart hackers use a computer that has an OS not traceable to themselves. They also monitor the host computer for invasion. They close up shop if the host gets hacked and the invader looks where police look, like internet logs. They are gone by the time the logs are reviewed.

I meant "...no capacity for reflection..." sorry about the spooling orror b4.
And I stand by that statement.
And now to go and nurse my poor wounded pride and lost rep (sniff)...
LOL
Mez, your on the ball there. They would have laid a trap to gather evidence for sure (and for the warrant) but considering the Ardolf seemed to have it in for his neighbour, emailng kiddy porn etc. to his boss and work colleagues too... it was personal imo. I'd place odds they had a fair idea who his enemy was beforehand. Ardolf probably never meant those assassination threats anyway (still no excuse), just maliciously thought the DHS would trace the emails back to his neighbour's poot and prosecute him. It was a setup, those messages were meant to be traced from the get go. He overdid it the fool. Thank Zeus the DHS are not that stupid.
Can't wait to see how this "Hurt Locker" test case works out now. Especially since the civil courts in the USA unconstitutionally impose punitive fines on file sharers. (You can only sue for damages in a US civil court.)
Cheers.

Dan both DXR88 and forkndave thought your truths were nonsense. You are the only one that sees any sense as to what you are saying. I get the feelinging I am arguing with a 7 yr old and he keeps saying "I know you are but what am I". You are just spewing mindless garbage and expect the world to swallow.
You win, you are too stupid to argue with.
