What do you guys think of him, I think he's an amazing hacker and the best computer expert today. Do hackers respect him?

Depends on what you define as "hacker". He's pretty sharp, I think, but I don't see him as some kind of hacker/cracker/slacker/etc. He can solve computer problems, but I really doubt he knows much about programming. Then again, I haven't listened to him much, so I could be wrong.

EDIT: This thread should probably go into T&T since Laporte is a computer professional but not a hacker.

Leo is not a hacker in the common use of the world. That is why he listens to that spinrite guy.
