\_ gee...5-7 years for sexually molesting young girls and life for computer
\_ hacking. I was beginning to think that America had its priorities a bit
\_ out of whach but now I feel better knowing that GW is gonna protect us.
Although I'd personally like to park the Rivi on any molestor (other
than I think it'd be too quick), the ability to harm thousands easily
if you're in a weakly protected database/system is immense:
foreach $drug_recevier (@pharmacy_database)
$drug_to_ship = rand(@drugs);
# $drug_to_ship = fractional_strength_lookup($drug); # more insidious
foreach $sufferer (@public_scorned_diseases)
$smtp->mail('
plug-discus@lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us', "$sufferer has $X");
foreach $bankee (@bank)
$funds->transfer("100%", "United States Treasury"); #they'll never
# get it back
So yes, I can see 'life' being 'suitable' for someone who does one of
those to 100, 1000, 100,000, or ... people.
\_ Sheesh - doesn't anyone feel sorry that they voted for that clown yet?
Hey, I voted for Krusty, and he's not who got elected.
