[comp.org.eff.talk] Seen on NBC's Unsolved Mysteries

Last night or the night before, I caught the tail end of a segment on
NBC's _Unsolved_Mysteries_ TV show.  Two points:  1) It disappoints me
severely that it is little more than a bad-ripoff of FOX's
_America's_Most_Wanted  and 2) they had a segment on about a man
caught breaking into someone's system somewhere - the point being, I
missed the the important details, but it seemed like he was going to
be arrested for illegal access in a computer and so he skipped town -
now they've got him on a TV show in order to "hunt him down".  One
nice thing, though, they interviewed a female who said that "they're
making him out to be dangerous, but he's not that kind of a guy.  He'd
never hurt anyone physically and he'd rather know how to do stuff than
actually do it."

-BLECH!-
