Sorry for the long post Storm but it really annoys me when people call other people moron's when they really aren't.
This talk was never presented as a Hack in the first place. It's just an interesting series of events that lead to him getting his computer back.
I also understand he attended Defcon 16 , 17 & 18. I understand you may not like him but dismiss him as a moron just from this clip is a little hasty. If you've attended previous Defcons , heard his talks and as direct result still call him a moron please say so
