Yes! For those who know who this man is he was one of the most smartest man with computers and, as he likes to be refferd as, a cracker (known as 'hackers' to the average computer user) After being locked up and not allowed to touch a computer for nearly 8 years is finally allowed to use them on Jan 21st 2003! 8 years of technolgy await him. For those of you who don't know who this man is, or what exactly he did, then dont bother caring.

and props to that. the man's a legend.

in my eyes more for his suffering america's legal 'system' rather than his exploits.

though he did have some skill to begin with, that i'll admit for sure.

Yay.

What programs did he hack exactly?

So being one of the most famous hackers in the world aint an achievment , i think with so much power your gonna be arrested at some point. If you had skills that good you would want to show them wouldn't you.
