There are moments in life when you miss someone so much you want to pick them from your dreams and hug them.

I dont care how old he is, im just glad he's been caught.

Now, how many copy cats will come out of the wood work. At least one is out of comision.

Yep, heard it on BBC today. At first they were suspecting a team of Russian programmers or sth., but the German police stated the guy was working on his own. Still a schoolboy. Darn smart.

An idea came to my head and is now desperately searching for brain

he should be locked up.
then Hung, Drawn and quartered

I, Aod, have assumed the Title of:
Tawakalna!

Well, he had it coming . I wonder if he'll just get a slap on the wrist?

AoD - Using another person's name is a REALLY bad idea. Don't say I didn't warn you.

If he was intelligent, he wouldn't have done it and used his mind for something else. Technically smart and intelligent are two completely different things.

@Esq, your siggy, no comment.

Sir S

lol@Esq's sig, at least I'm not in it

Re. Signature - Thanks guys . I've been playing around with Photoshop CS, and I thought that I'd create a "demo" signature. I'm sure that they'll get better with time.

Why no comment SS? Are you insinuating something?

Maybe this is the reason to stop learning this stuff I would hate to take it too far.

The insinuation may be a suggested incineration.

I heard this in the radio, we get abit more details than you people get (lucky me ), but it's expected that he'll get around 5 years...

Your posts are SPAM . My posts are WISDOM SPEECHES .

Update - Link from reuters.
Heiner Wilhelm from Lower Saxony police said the suspect was not aware of the extent of the damage he had caused. "He had become worried about the impact but he hadn't reckoned on our turning up," he told a news conference in Hanover.
When police went to the man's house they found a home-built computer which contained the source code used to run Sasser.

State prosecutors said the man could be tried in a youth court because he turned 18 only on April 29 and was possibly a minor when he committed the crime of "computer sabotage."

The crime carries a maximum sentence of five years' imprisonment if tried in adult court, but state prosecutor Helmut Trentmann said he could not specify the maximum penalty the suspect could get. Police said it appeared the man acted alone but communicated with other programers. He told officers he wanted to create an anti-virus to other viruses like Mydoom and Bagle.

The man said he created the worm Netsky to fight the viruses but encouraged by all his friends he developed it further and Sasser was created as a modification of Netsky, police said.
