CONWAY, N.H. -- A teenage computer hacker who defaced Web sites was
sentenced Friday to nine months behind bars--and was ordered to help
program the jail's computers.

I am certainly no expert like the rest of you guys, but it seems to me
that sentencing a teenage hacker to program the computers of the jail
he is confined in is kind'a like handing our 7 year old a box of
crayons while he is sitting in the corner for drawing on the wall.
