today i was pointed to the following gem by al iverson concerning david ritz,
with a reference to lawrence baldwin.

	"Ritz's behavior in conducting a zone transfer was unauthorized within
	the meaning of the North Dakota Computer Crime Law." You might not
	know what a zone transfer is, but I do. It's asking a DNS server for
	all the particular public info it provides about a given domain. This
	is a common task performed by system administrators for many
	purposes. The judge is saying that DNS zone transfers are now illegal
	in North Dakota.
