Private First Class Manning: Gay Hacker
``Although hacking has come to mean a lot of different things, at its core, those who do it say, is the philosophy that information should be free and accessible to all. And Private Manning had access to some of the most secret information on the planet.''
``In his computer chats with Mr. Lamo, Private Manning described how he downloaded the video and lip-synched to Lady Gaga as he copied hundreds of thousand of diplomatic cables.''
From the NYT.
Alan Turing was another British Gay Computer Great.
A little hope, that those of us that are different will stop this ``Road to Nowhere'' syndrome that Paul Krugman just identified.
Thank you Dr. Krugman, and Lady Gaga.
