Is he the guy who keeps hacking things like NASA and the like?

If he is, it's not as if he hasn't already been warned and should know right from wrong. I've no sympathy for him really.

Plonker. I personally don't see him getting a huge term tbh. He simply used fairly off the shelf programs to get through the security. I think if he'd been using stuff he'd coded himself he'd been looking at some serious punishment but I think he'll be out in no time. He should fire his lawyers for advising him to put up such a fight against the extradition. He should simply go over and do his time. He'd have only had a few years most likely served in the UK if he'd complied earlier.

Yes he broke the law, yes he should go to jail. I don't think there's much of a question over that. But the only question is where he should go to jail, personally I don't think he should be extradited. But I know nothing about law.
