Email Bomber Faces Retrial

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the putting-the-case-back-on dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A UK teenager who was cleared last year of launching a denial-of-service attack now faces a retrial. Judges have ruled that crashing a server with five million emails probably isn't permitted under the law. With NASA hacker Gary McKinnon vowing to fight on after losing his extradition fight yesterday, it's been a busy few days for the UK courts."

    Patella - the kneecap - means "little dish" - can you guess where I'm going with this?

    I'm guessing security at the gates won't let any of us in the US carry a baseball bat with us on board.

    Would one of you Britons be willing to give us a quick tour of the troublemakers' homes? (ala "Tour of Hollywood Stars' Homes)

    Oh, and how much would you charge us to bring a cricket bat along as well as idle the engine when we reach each house?

    If it worked in skating, I have a suspicion it might be effective in spamming.
