Dedicated to Kevin Lee Poulsen, AKA Dark Dante who bagged a Porsche 944
S2 in 1990 when he took control of all the phones in the Los Angeles area
of California to ensure his was the call answered by a radio competition
phone-in.
quote
"Given the power and ubiquity of thes human tendencies
toward inertia, dualism, linearity, and reduction, it
can be no surprise that the scientific establishment
rewards those who color within the lines. It can also
be no shock to realize that all useful advance must
come from deviation outside of those lines. Thinking
new thoughts is, after all, impossible for most,
difficult for all, frightening for many�and
irresistible for some few poor souls. This is
dangerous in science and can be deadly in medicine."
- William J.M. Hrushesky, "Triumph of the Trivial"
