FBI Half-Life 2 Raids [Jan 19, 2004, 4:02 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
A weblog post
mentioned in a
Slashdot story apparently gives the account of a San Francisco native's
encounter with the FBI as the fed's raided his home looking for evidence in
connection with the theft of the Half-Life 2 source code (story).
According to Slashdot (since the site has been, naturally enough, Slashdotted),
the blog includes a scan of the FBI's search warrant. Thanks Captain Trips.
This is pretty obvious, to most, but...
The source code is NOT the beta. In an extreme example, country A could sell an ICBM (a big bad missle that can carry nukes) to country B, and country B would only be able to use ths missle as a weapon. Or country B could use spies, steal the blueprints, and build it's own missles, or develop a system to counter these. This would give country B the abilty to build and sell a product that, or parts of it, that could ruin country A, and all countries that sold tecnollogy to country A.
Would someone care to tell me why this guy would have 9 computers, all supossedly in working condition? I mean, hell, I've got 4, but 9, plus an xbox? What's this guy's job?
