Furious Drunk Man Attacks Motorist With Live Power Line [Wtf]

Furious Drunk Man Attacks Motorist With Live Power LineAccording to the police, this guy is one crazy drunk suicidal bastard who grabbed a live power line struck down by Hurricane Irene and attacked another driver in the middle of the storm with it. How in hell?

The alleged nutter is 32-year-old Richard Bialczak. The police says he chased 28-year-old Derek Edwards on a road in Silver Spring, Maryland, until they reached a downed power line that was blocking the way. Edwards stopped and got out of the car to warn Bialczak about the still-sparking line on the asphalt. But instead of saying "oh, thank you very much, that's very kind of you, you honorable and gentle young man you", Bialczak started to insult him and proceded to ram his car against Edwards' to get it closer to the power line. As you normally do in these cases.

But not happy with doing just that, the police says that Bialczak got out of his card and started to furiously kick Edwards' car with feet and fists, tore off its antenna, destroyed its bumper and, as a final act of idiotic fuckassery, grabbed the sparking power line and threw it onto the victim's car.

Luckily, nothing happened to Edwards. Of course, Mr. Dick Ballsack's lawyer claims that the poor devil is innocent and that Greedo shot first. [NBC Washington]

RankMyHack Gives You Achievement Points for Your Ballsiest Cyber Attacks [Hacking]

RankMyHack Gives You Achievement Points for Your Ballsiest Cyber Attacks2011 has seen some of the most brazen, daring cyber attacks to date, from the Arizona police to BART quite recently. It's a bad time to be a eve a medium-sized name on the net. So let's turn this into a game, shall we?

RankMyHack.com is an old-fashioned leaderboard for the "hacking elite." After singing up, you get points by breaking through the defenses of bigger and badder companies and organizations. Player can put out bounties on sites who they perceive as evil or just plain fun to mess with. And you can also challenge other members to dueling matches with their own time limits and stakes. It's all very in-depth and immersive... and even a little scary.

Not that think this so called gamification of hacker culture is going to bring down civilization as we know it. But having explored the site a little bit, one can see that with the right tools and some guidance you can start racking up points and making a name for yourself. Remember the single French girl who hacked her way into BART a few weeks ago. She said it was easy. A site like this could potentially give people a target to aim their blossoming hacker skills at.

Or, you know. Groups could, conversely, check out the site themselves and see if they should start beefing up their security in a hurry. [Washington Post]
