Woah nelly! I think that was a bit harsh - considering the fact that this 'hacker' is no real hacker - he registered a website, and placed a redirection on it.
That's not hacking, that's normal everyday IT business practice. Only happens that he registered a name of a political figure and pointed it to a political affiliation, and hence he gets attention. I think the point James is trying to make is that web developers tend to register URLs and place redirections on them all the time - this doesn't mean that they are 'hacking'. Ah well... it's news.. maybe us web dev people can now also claim to be 'hackers' and therefore charge more ;o) Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 3094740 Safe From Bees [ www.safefrombees.com ] Quoting Taco Fleur <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I personally think it is a bit ridiculous of you boosting you hack websites > on a daily basis. > For what reason? > To help people out or just for fun?
