Alleged eBay Hacker Goofs up and Goes to Jail

juliao writes "SecurityFocus is reporting that alleged eBay hacker Jerome Heckenkamp was jailed after his first solo court appearance." It's pretty funny actually, stuff like challenging the indictment on the grounds that they typed his name in all capital letters, demanding to immediately testify (even tho they were only there to schedule the trial), threatening the judge and so on. He would know better if he watched a couple episodes of Law & Order. Note that I base all court proceedings on the wisdom of Sam Watterston.

slashdot not above bad grammer either

There is only one of him, therefore the "Hackers" can't "goofs" up.
Never mind. It's not like this is an arrest warrant.

Not to mention that "they were only their"

"grammer"?? Consult the Underground Grammarian to see why it matters that a website devoted to complex technical subjects have the wit to use a spell-checker, or to find contributors who have read enough English to know the shape of common words. How many Slashdot readers would tolerate such sloppiness in their computer programs? Why then do they seem ashamed to condemn it in the language which communicates important technical developments?

That's what really gets my goat. They get all high and mighty about resources, time, etc. costing money, so subscribe, but they can't even be bothered to fucking use ispell. Taco -- you're always blabbing on about Debian (rightly so, cos it rocks), so here's a tip: apt-get install ispell. Jesus Christ, it's not that hard. If you want me to pay for your site, I'm not even asking for you to research your articles for blatant falsehoods, I JUST WANT YOU TO SPELL CORRECTLY! It wasn't acceptable to not know how to spell in third grade, and it isn't now.

...Heckenkamp challenged the indictment against him on the grounds that it spells his name, Jerome T. Heckenkamp, in all capital letters, while he spells it with the first letter capitalized, and subsequent letters in lower case.

Young man, the law is not case sensitive.

Baliff, whack his pee-pee.

[Garfunkel]

Some people also type fast without checking or worrying about spelling and post without previewing. Some people also really don't care about using 100% perfect spelling as long as the point gets across correctly.
