Sick and tired of a revolving door justice system that lets hackers skate with just a few measly years in prison? Or do you think that the courts are already too hard on online miscreants who sometimes go up the creek for longer than many killers?

Here are some points to consider, also a response to the dimwitted "troll" insult which told someone to shut up.

They may have been thinking of the Therac-25, a radiation machine which, due to a bug in the software, killed several patients. This of course has nothing to do with hacking, but it does point out the fact that machines capable of causing death may be computer-controlled. Add an internet connection to such a computer (yes, there are people stupid enough to do such a thing) and all it takes is for someone to hack into it and start messing with the software to have a bunch of corpses. Far-fetched, perhaps, but certainly not impossible.
