So what I was essentially doing was, I compromised the confidentiality of their proprietary software to advance my agenda of becoming the best at breaking through the lock. Kevin Mitnick
The scientific argument advanced for intelligent design at the Dover trial, those arguments collapsed, scientifically and intellectually. Kenneth R. Miller
