SPIEGEL: Jenny E. of the New Economy
In the current issue of the SPIEGEL (German magazine), in the context of
an article about the shady scheming of the former hacker Kim "Kimble"
Schmitz, on page 128 the following sentence is written:
"Already as a teenager Schmitz realized that one can do much more than
just playing "Pac-Man" with an Amiga computer. Pretendedly he invaded
the secure systems of the NASA, Pentagon, and Citibank. Soon he got the
aura to be a computer genius. But this version is vehemently mistrusted inside
the hacker scene."
A very interesting article making clear that genius and (megalo)mania
are very close neighbours.
