a couple of brief corrections and/or additions:
the judge is "Lacy Thornburg" not "Thornburgh" as AP reports. useful if
you want to see his other cases and upcoming sentences etc.
Brian Salcedo is not a first time offender. at 17 he cracked arbornet and
the university of maryland and became the first to be arrested in michigan
for cracking.

they're wrong.  it may tie the longest, but it isn't the longest.

Jeremy Jaynes, aka Gavin Stubberfield, was sentenced to 9 yrs for computer
fraud in relation to his spam activities.
