Blaster Writer Caught
Henry V .009 writes "The FBI will be arresting an 18 year-old in connection with MS Blaster, reports The Washington Post." According to the article, the teen was witnessed testing the worm, and then turned in by a bystander. It's also worth noting that this is merely one of the Blaster variations. Hope whoever it was had fun, because a world of pain is waiting in store now.
If (note that word) this pans out and the accused did indeed release one of the variants, his teen ass needs to rot in a jail cell for an extended length of time, and his bank account, if any, needs to be reset to a very large negative number.
If (again, note that word) he did it, I have absolutely no sympathy what so ever.
I want a new quote. One that won't spill. One that don't cost too much. Or come in a pill.
No, we've already had our SCO story today, that wasn't called for.
I guess MS must be fined/arrested in the first place for leaving a hole that a smart kid can exploit!.
This dangerous terroristkid is just old enough for death penalty in the US. He's gonna get the CHAIR!

NO! You did something to deserve to be there, jail is not intended to be a happy fun place. Respect for a FELON?! please...
And this is why they're there.

Prison should not be a place of joy for bleeding heart liberals.
Everyone in prison is there to be PUNISHED for their CRIME to SOCIETY, usually by DUE PROCESS, and convicted by their PEERS.
Of course if you're wrongly convicted thats a different matter.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE BEING IN PRISON YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE COMMITTED A CRIME (and get caught).
Really they should take criminals out of the genepool altogether, then at least you'd get smart criminals that don't get caught
Pissing of the world by distributing malicious software which had already proven its potential to cause problems was not among the things I did when I was eighteen. Nothing I did at that age came even close. You're seriously downplaying his crime. Granted, we have more civilized ways of dealing with people like him, but puhleeze, someone who takes software like Blaster and tries to make it more dangerous deserves the bitch-side of a prison rape -- to get the message through or at least to amuse his victims.
When you commit a crime, and get caught, you are sentenced to serve time, and be locked away. Nowhere in the law books does it say that you are sentenced to be locked away with a rapist.
In fact, there are actually laws against this! You may not assault a person in custody, you may not rape anyone ever, and you may not inflict cruel and unusual punishment. Prison is supposed to be unpleasant, thats correct. But it is not supposed to be abusive.
I really hope you get sent to prison for a few days sometime in your life, to see how it feels.
Conservatives elect a "compassionate conservative" and then complain when liberals are compassionate? wtf? Conservatives seem to be compassionate only towards themselves...
