A former hacker creates world-wide front page news today

What does Wikipedia have to tell us about the founder of Wikileaks, the organization that has just leaked thousands of secret military documents about the war in Afghanistan? The founder's name is Julian Assange. "Assange was born in Townsville, Queensland in 1971.[2] Assange has said that his parents ran a touring theatre company, and that he was enrolled in 37 schools and six universities in Australia over the course of his early life.[3] During his childhood years, he lived on the run with mother and half-brother. They were avoiding his half-brother's father who was believed to belong to a cult led by Anne Hamilton-Byrne.[2]" Wikipedia also tells us that Assange pled guilty to 24 counts of hacking in Australia.

37 schools? Now that is moving around!

Wow and I thought being a military brat meant changing schools a lot.
