It's kind of stupid banning him from the Internet for 2 years for something that simple. Maybe if Paris Hilton didn't keep photos on the phone of her kissing her naked lesbian friends eh...
It's her own fault for doing something as stupid as answering a secret question truthfully.
Agreed, who answers their secret question truthfully?  |

RE: Paris Hilton Hacker Banned From The Internet
OK, so Paris Hilton was stupid, but what the guy did was unauthorised access of someone else's account. That is a crime.
<offtopic>
Anubis, 'hacker' can also be applied to anyone trying to find weaknesses in anything in order to propose fixes, or someone that writes code that runs in someone else's process.
Therefore, several plugin authors are hackers (including me), as is Patchou. We all write programs that run in Messenger's process space, so we need to 'hack' into Messenger to find out where to inject code, what to subclass, what hooks are needed etc.
The problem with using the word 'hacker' comes from the media twisting it's meaning to cover such practices if they are employed maliciously. Myself, I'd be all to happy to say I'm a hacker to fellow coders, but in the everyday world I steer clear of that word.

RE: Paris Hilton Hacker Banned From The Internet
Banned from the net... oh cmon, hes just gonna set up a new ID (a new name and stuff) and get on it via that. I'm all for the the prevention of cyber crime but there isnt much you can do to stop it at the moment, the only way you can stop him from using the net is to watch him 24/7 and thats obviously not an option.

don't you think he'd be watched or under house arrest? he cant just go to a friends computer or the point would be ruined. Spoiler: the game.

so the tax payers pay for that then? I highly doubt they would do that as its pretty pointless, this is just probably just a show for the media...

True, however there are quite a few cyber police out there, i.e computer forensics etc, so any crimes to do with computing, the experts are called in to find the evidence, child pornography etc

RE: Paris Hilton Hacker Banned From The Internet
I think it's a bit too much, at most 6 months.....  but even still, wtf, banned from the net. That's like taking crystal meth away from a crystal meth addict. ![[Image: puritysig8.jpg/]](http://img233.imageshack.us/i/puritysig8.jpg/)
