The Homeless Hacker v. The New York Times
Known as the Homeless Hacker before his arrest, Lamo did most of his virtual exploring from the Internet connections at Kinko's copy shops. Besides his laptop - an eight-year-old Toshiba with six keys missing - he traveled light, usually with a blanket, a change of clothes, and a Taser stun gun, which he used to pick electronic locks and sometimes to shock vending machines to see if they would drop food or spare change.
