  • XVampireX, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2Hehe... Linux exists only in one form... And that's not a programming language.
    • burke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5This almost makes me sad, then I realize the person that wrote this is just some hopeless idiot, and most likely not representative of the FBI. Still though, that's brutal.
    • shrewduser, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1the general geek towers over the average FBI agent in the usage of tech..... :)
  • cm32438, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12"He is also skilled at sailing, particularly small sailboats."

    That just kinda came out of left field, huh? Computers, E-Mail, Linux...Sailboats,,,

  • Rikushix, on 10/12/2007, -9/+7bury. its a dupe down the list already.
  • JAshbaugh, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3just submitted and also on the front page
  • erkokite, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's no wonder that our computers are fodder for Chinese hackers and a British amateur hacker looking for UFOs, when one of our major government agencies is spouting this idiocy.
  • matthewaaron, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11How did two of these EXACTLY THE FRIKIN SAME POSTS get on the front page? DIGG... WAKE UP!
    • erkokite, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5This story was promoted as a dupe in the first story. This story was first, and was not idiotic blog-spam.
    • isewise, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Apparently it is such a great topic it needs to be on the front page 2x, at the same time! Its like NYC, City so nice they named it twice.
    • cards, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5It's not a dupe when it came first, had a better description, and wasn't blog spam. That's why everyone came here to digg this story instead of the other.
  • n0yd, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3Is it really necceary to have two articles covering the exact same thing within 4 posts from each other on the front page?
    • burke, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Is it really necessary to have two comments covering the exact same thing within 1 comments from each other on the this page?
    • caleb4mj, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Yes.

      Because we have to talk about this. This is a matter of national security.

      LOL, I know. Shut up! I'm serious!
  • jongam, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Whoa again? You'd think they'd learn better after the first time this happened. Seems like only yesterday I read another story just like this!
  • schrodiggity, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1haha, reminds me of this:

    http://digg.com/programming/The_FBI_s_Systems_Upgrade_That_Wasn_t

    those bastards are still stuck in the 70's. we would have probibly been able to stop 9/11 if those fools atcually used computers at the time. but they didn't because of "security issues"
  • Celeron, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2Two dupes on the front page, how funny.
    • JudgeDredd, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I came here to point that out as well. That and saying that this is the silliest thing I have ever read. Now I must get back to my studies of the Linux programming language. I am on chapter one: "The Kernel."
  • jellygraph, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I call ***** on the FBI. This wanted ad reeks of "he must have done something bad to piss off the feds or some politician, but it wasn't what they say it is"
    • itchybeard, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Why not? If Hans Reiser can be a murderer why can't this geek be an animal rights terrorist?
    • jellygraph, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1domestic violence is a common phenomenon, blowing up buildings for no reason isnt
  • resplence, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Cool, half the comments are complaints. Let's try clicking the 'bury' button the next time.
  • rssurvivor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Okay , instead of you guys jsut discussing, i cant help that someone else also submitted this .... when i submitted it it wasnt here yet so stop acting so sad.
