Venting over the "Blaster Kid".....

[sfwriter]

You know, this kid didn't author the virus, setup the plan of attack, distribute it widely, or even write one complete line of code.

Let's say an 18-year-old neighbor of Tim McVeighs blew up a few houses in his neighborhood when he got a hold of one of Tim's bombs.

Should we charge him with the Oklahoma City Bombing when he was fooling around with a FOUND device.

YES what he did is wrong, but the FBI and Media deserve a smack in the face for the way they are portraying it.

And before yall come howling out of the woodwork full of vengeful wrath and eager punishment, let me ask you: Do you think the FBI is more or less likely to find the REAL AUTHOR of this worm now that they have a convenient patsy? Do you think this makes us MORE or LESS safe?

Ah, what the hell do I care? I run three Macs and a Linux box...
