Sure it's a crime. 38 years? Would you do that to this kid?

[bamahead]

ping

[Little Ray]

Yes.

[the anti-liberal]

They probably either watched the old movie ‘War Games’ (”Would you like to play another game of chess?), or ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’.

[Emperor Palpatine]

Absolutely! Hacking is a serious threat and an example must be made. This not only threatens the security of people’s information, but costs businesses billions.

38 years should send a message, and even then its not long enough. I’d give ‘em 25 with an L.

[TheWasteLand]

Capital punishment. Otherwise he won’t learn nothin’.

[Little Ray]

I’m sure these guys have nothing to worry about. The jury will think that breaking and entering, stealing tests to cheat on them, etc., were all “cute” and give them a suspended sentence.

[devere]

Ferris Bueller goes to jail!

[wally_bert]

He might get offered a job.

[driftdiver]

Anyone who hires him deserves it. he can’t get better than an F in todays public schools? In California?

[bimbo]

School will probably give them extra credit for being innovative; after college they’ll get big cushy jobs as “security experts.”

[ozzymandus]

I doubt very much if Harold and Kumar will do any time at all. Community service. They’ll probably end up making money from this on a book or movie deal, or at least selling their story to a magazine. It always cracks me up when some reporter says a perp is “facing 99 years”. Only a small percentage even go to jail at all.

[Emperor Palpatine]

The jury doesn’t sentence. Thankfully a judge does.

Hopefully they’ll get a hanging judge who had someone fraudulently run up his credit card debt.....

[QQQQ]

Where?For out next President? Shahid will work fine with Hussein:-)))

[ThomasThomas]

He got caught, why would you hire him,

[ShadowAce]

[wally_bert]

Not me but some not so ethical software type could. Should have clarified my post.

[Dumpster Baby]

I prefer making dames with my computer.

"What would you maniacs like to do first?"

LOL

[vpintheak]

38 years, COULD face up to 38 years. What will probably happen is a couple years tops, and probation.

[Born Conservative]

But they’re just kids....
