Mitnick on /.

The /. interview with Kevin Mitnick has arrived. I've mostly avoided the Mitnick thing, it seemed to me to be a cracker who got caught exploited for political gain by people who missed the real story because they were so overly proud of their meager accomplishment. Anyway, he's bitter about John Markoff, talks a bit about social engineering, has a few insights. However, as one poster said:
I'd like to thank slashdot for inflating the egos of script kiddies everywhere and giving them a role model. Way to go!
And another poster points out that:
Most geeks lead lives of quiet desperation. Woz hasn't given me a PowerBook. Slashdot hasn't interviewed me. I don't get to go on tech tv.
Really, if you hadn't been busted, where would you be? You'd be among us, commenting on some other guy's interview, one of the teeming useless irrelevant masses.
