More Jail Time For Computer Crime Starting Next Month

An anonymous reader writes "Washingtonpost.com is running a detailed story about how new changes to the sentencing guidelines will increase jail time for most computer crime cases, starting November 1. When will the feds learn that raising penalties isn't going to deter this type of crime? The piece ends with a quote from uberhacker Kevin Mitnick saying just that."

    Wow. That was the most stereotypical comment I've ever heard. You don't have to be stupid to like the NFL. In addition, your comment had more quotation marks per character in it than I've ever seen before. I think you should look over the usage rules for them.

    Oh well. Your mileage may vary; I'll stand by my stereotypes. In addition, please consult your English book; I believe I am in the right. And if not, okay, I made a mistake... why, then, are you grilling ME over the coals rather than the Neanderthals who can't tell the difference between "it's" and "its", or between "your", "you're" and (shudder) "ur"? Maybe because I dared to say something you disagree with?

  8. Hack the justice computers? by illumina+us · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    So what if a disgruntled citizen or employee hacks the entire system of computers for the Justice Department. All sentences are issued via that network now anyway, and probably somewhere someone decided it would be smart to connect it to the internet. Imagine someone writing a virus that would literally destroy all hardware in a system. Say a virus which would hijack the BIOS and force it to direct more voltage than allowable by the threshold to all devices and perephrials... no more computer =/
