Hilton Hacker Gets 11 Months

Posted by Zonk on from the shades-of-dade-murphy dept.

B747SP writes "Well, the guy who 'acquired' the contents of Paris Hilton's Sidekick telephone and published them on the Internet has had his day in court. T-Mobile USA and the State of Massachusetts are pleased to report that he has been sentenced to 11 months in a juvenile facility. He's also not allowed to own or use a computer, a cellphone, or any other device that can access the Internet for two years. It turns out that the Hilton hack was just one of many Bad Things(tm) that he had been up to: calling in bomb threats to schools, creating T-Mobile accounts for himself and his friends, breaking in to data broker LexisNexis' systems are just a few of his exploits."

    Everything this person who came out of nowhere has done harm to open source.

    Take C# Mono for example. If C# remains a MS-only thing it will fail. But now thanks to Miguel we have Mono for linux. Facts:
        - Novell funds Mono
        - Novell got a $500M deal from MS
        - Miguel is working on IronPython. A python implementation for .NET
        - Soon Novell will ship a .NET runtime and start it by default in its distributions.
        - Not to mention how GNOME blew up any attempt to create some standards for linux desktop.

    The other day I saw migule in his brand new Ferarri driving around the santa clara bay area. Just *think* about it damn it!
