This is an almost funny list of computer crimes. One guy built the first ever wearable computer. He strapped it to his chest, used his toes to tap in cards played at the blackjack table, and read his results from little LED"s he built into his eyeglasses. Despite the high tech tool, he went on to lose an outrageous number of blackjack hands, one after the other. Instead of admitting that he might have made an error in his code, he viewed the unlikely string of losses as a "sign from God."
A check printing operator hit the "repeat" button when his checked came up for printing. He only got caught because he tried to cash a bunch of them, all at once, at the same bank. How dumb is that?
The book is worth reading, and you can borrow mine if I ever find it. Or you can now get a copy in good condition for under 5 dollars.
