UK Hacker Loses Extradition Appeal
the4thdimension writes "A UK man, accused of breaking into US Pentagon and NASA computers in March 2001, lost an extradition appeal that would have freed him, or at least had him tried in the UK. While the US accuses him of causing over $900,000 in computer damage, his attorney asserts that, if extradited to the US, he faces harsh penalties that are "intolerable" and '...the British government declined to prosecute him to enable the U.S. government to make an example of him.' He intends to appeal to the European courts."
Margaret Thatcher fuck up Britain long before Tony + new Labour got a hold of it.
U.K. is practically the 51st state of the USA.
There was I worrying about a federal Europe.
Your ignorance of the law is staggering.
If someone leaves a sign on their lawn that says "Hi! I am a stupid idiot. I leave everything unlocked and have tons of cash lying about the home.Please help yourself." would you give someone who did just that the same time as someone who kicked in your door and robbed you? The guy was using "administrator:password" for deities sake! The 900k they are trying to stick him with is for removing their own retarded password policy!
If anything they should give this guy a freakin' medal and fire the idiots who had "administrator:password" on government networks. They should be DAMN GLAD that he came along,otherwise that security hole you could drive a truck through would have probably set there until a REAL terrorist,you know the kind that wants to cause damage instead of look for ET,came along and blew their sh*tty unsecured network to kingdom come. But as always this is my 02c,YMMV
ACs don't waste your time replying, your posts are never seen by me.
Hello, dumbass.
He has 9 counts, yes? That is less than 10 years per count.
The maximum penalty for rape varies from state to state. However, here in Florida, the maximum penalty is life in prison. Therefore, if he were to have committed 9 rapes, or even 1 rape, he would be sentenced to more time than for this crime.
Therefore, your statement is false. And, the rest of your comment is similarly false. You started with a false premise and ended up with a false conclusion.
How does it feel being proven to be a dumbass.
There is no "-1 offended" or "-1 you don't agree with me" mod options for a reason.
