Talk:Intrusion Countermeasures Electronics

Origin

The line The term was popularized by William Gibson in his novel Neuromancer and, according to the New Hacker's Dictionary, originally coined by Tom Maddox. seems needlessly convoluted. William Gibson states this in his book Neuromancer:

My thanks to Bruce Sterling, to Lewis Shiner, to John Shirley, Helden, and to Tom Maddox, the incentor of Intrusion Countermeasures Electronics. And to the others, who know why.

I propose rewriting the explanation in the article. Moreover the term was not just popularised, that is where it was published, since Tom Maddox does not seem to have publised that originating story yet. --09:53, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Dys silo0008.jpg

Image:Dys silo0008.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

shouldn't 'accessed by hackers' be changed to 'accessed by crackers'?

according to definitions on wiki itself, hacker and cracker are 'dynamic' applied terms, just like one can be either proffesional theft, or theft because he just stole something. --83.12.255.234 (talk) 11:21, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
