   Er... hence "malicious hackers" rather than just hackers.
   
   As we've said (repeatedly, repeatedly, repeatedly), the term "cracker" still isn't understood widely vs. hacker. So we use "malicious hacker" and it's pretty self explanatory, even if it does seem to piss of the 3 of you who insist you've become the language gods.

   Think of the economic harm...

   The economic harm from a single virus far outweighs that of any ordinary criminal... Even a small outbreak can cost well over a million of dollars to corporations and business owners.

   Yes and putting the criminal in jail benefits the people who were harmed by returning the lost funds to their bank accounts?
   
   Not likely.
   
   In fact, locking up the criminal in no way benefits the people who were harmed.
   
   In fact, locking up no violent criminals is… well… stupid in the extreme.
   
   It would be far better to make the punishment fit the crime don’t you think? To make the punishment, I don’t know… BENEFIT someone?
   
   This country has go to get over our obsession with locking people up for no good reason. We currently imprison more people than China… CHINA… you know, the country known for great food and horrible human rights violations?

   I say burn the lot of them.
   
   If you want to be malicious, you get the swift hand of justice!
   
   If violent criminals are getting lesser sentences, then lobby that they need stronger sentences.
   
   As for Cracker vs Hacker, I thought crackers were white guys....lol

   No Subject Given

   What? They are locking up crackers, while serial killers a being freed? The whole point of locking up voilent offenders was to prevent them from harming an innocent person.
