I'm glad they got caught and all but 9yrs for a guy who hacked the
system but DID NOT get any credit cards? If he'd gotten his hands on a
few thousand and went on a shopping spree, sure but this is like a guy
who gets caught breaking and entering but he's stuck 1/2 way thru the
door with his hands empty. And Micknick got 5 and HE stole a ton of
stuff...

I thought the punishment was supposed to match the crime or some such
blather.
