This story just in from slashdot...

"With the death of the only person who knew the password to an archive held at a museum in Norway, suddenly the data became inaccessible. The result? A nationwide radio appeal asking for 'hackers' to volunteer to help solve the problem!"

It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance to hack for a good cause! Do any of you intend to participate?

Arg. Only one person had the password? Geez. It'd be different if it was a personal computer, but it's not.

It's just a trick. After they get all the hackers they'll be asking shoplifters to send in pictures of themselves, or something like that.
