Blaster Worm Kid Caught

      Actually, you suggested a couple of years with Bubba. I think I have to draw the line there, yeah he intended finacial harm, and chaos, but how does that make him deserving of being raped?
      I think the guy should go to jail and have to start his adult life when he gets out. He'll have the criminal record for life. He's never getting out from under this. He's screwed, and from a non-literal stand point I'm good with that.

Update -- this kid pleaded not guilty to damaging a computer. The article doesn't say much else, but this is interesting:

Parson, flanked by two federal public defenders, appeared in a gray T-shirt, jeans and sneakers. Standing over 6 feet tall and weighing more than 300 pounds, he sported a bleach-blond Mohawk haircut and occasionally wiped sweat from his forehead.

If non-conformity is your thing, fine. But there are times when maybe it'd be a good idea to put on some nice clothes and get a haircut, and when you're facing 10 years in prison, maybe that's one of those times.

The funny thing is, I bet he wouldn't go to a job interview like that.

Extremely well pub, Tob.

I bet he wouldn't go to a job interview period. Well, the story says he is allowed to leave home for work and school, but where's work, Burger King? Not that there's anything wrong with Burger King

Well, I don't know if Bubba would get him or not, but I hear that kind of thing happens in prison. Having never been there, I wouldn't know first hand.

In addition, I assume they are monitoring his activity at school, being as how they are trying to "technologically integrate" the classrooms with computers.

Which begs the question at what point does hacking become illegal. The top security people (I suspect) were hackers. Therefore they would be good security people.

hell, he'll probably wind up working for the CIA....

That, more than anything else, pisses me off.
