No kidding. The guy is in prison for how long and all of a sudden he is released into a completely different world of computers to become a computer security specialist? WTF!!! You turn your back on the industry once and you have to struggle to get back up to date, and if you take a vacation that coincides with some major exploits discovery, you come back and your whole network is 0\/\/n3d by highschool students that downloaded some ready-made program... He gets thrown into prison when computer dinosaurs still roamed the earth, gets let out in the space age, and is an expert?

Its rediculous. He was only a hacker because he was tried as one, which is the fault of the District Attorney not him. If they hadn't trumped up the charges and tried him like he had committed the crimes he had committed than he would have served his time, saved the courts some money and faded into history as the shmuck criminal that he is...
