(i'm resigned to the fact that it'll prob. be shut down sooner or later...)
As to the "tech" connection of this story i think it's somewhat relevant from the big systems,security, and fraud pov. Like for the life of slashdot a big chunk of "tech" has been the whole data processing and IT side of enabling business (and government) processes and everything that goes with it. And secu
