Blaster Variant Creator Pleads Guilty

Hello Kitty writes "Robert Parson, the 18-year-old who modified and re-released a version of Blaster last year, is on his way to being made an example of, after pleading guilty Wednesday in a Seattle courtroom. According to AP, he can now look forward to 18-36 months behind bars and -- shades of Kevin Mitnick's phantom damages -- may be expected to pay millions in restitution. And then there's that lifelong 5cr1pt k1dd13 title. of course."

Comparing this kid to Mitnick is like comparing Burt Ward to Bruce Lee.

That's a bizarre comparison.

Burt Ward and Bruce Lee actually worked together when the Batman series was used to launch The Green Hornet.

Mitnick and Parson have probably never met.

Yep, they don't call it the "Mitnick Attack" for no reason.

Time to get a job

All I know about Bush is I had a job when Clinton was president.

Dude that was almost 4 years ago. Isn't that excuse starting to wear a little thin down at the unemployment office?

Have you tried to get a job, lately? They say the economy booms during times of war. I haven't seen a boom in anything except people "saying" the economy is getting better. Show me the proof.

Yep. In my town, 5000 people showed up for 400 *walmart* jobs. For people like myself with engineering degrees, theres just no hope.
