It’s Father’s Day again and you are here because you have no idea what to get your old man (or the father of your children) for this special day that comes only once a year.

Some might argue that the U.S. doesn’t really have a great track record in respecting the human rights of foreign nationals, at least that is what was argued by the lawyers of Gary McKinnon, the Briton who found himself busted for hacking into the Pentagon, the U.S. Army, Navy and NASA in what has been described as “the biggest military hack of all time.” (more…)
