Reblogged from Unhandled Exception:
I did not know Aaron Swartz, unless you count having copies of a person's entire digital life on your forensics server as knowing him. I did once meet his father, an intelligent and dedicated man who was clearly pouring his life into defending his son. My deepest condolences go out to him and the rest of Aaron's family during what must be the hardest time of their lives.
Its better to hear it from someone who actually knows about the case... RIP Aaron Swartz!
