thanks s wrenn for this article. it was very cool. i don't think he should be charged. what he did was walk into someone's business where they didn't keep the door locked and he just walked around and looked at things.
anyway I thought this was intersting about NASA at the end "adding it had no direct evidence of extra-terrestrial life." i find the word direct to be very interesting, instead of saying flat out they have no evidence, they said "no direct evedence"
You're welcome. I actually thought twice about adding that update today cos i felt that there might not be any interest in the thread anymore. It'll be interesting to see how the next 14 days play out for him and his appeal.
Uh . . . wow this is a blast from the past, i was unemployed around the time i posted this thread (and again now, hmm) anyway, i guess his wiki is the best way to follow his story http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_McKinnon

Another possible candidate for oldest organism on earth is a stand of the marine plant Posidonia oceanica in the Mediterranean Sea, which could be up to 100,000 years of age.
