Kid email bombs ex-employer.

[edro]

This article on CNET talks about a kid who email bombed his ex-employer. He was given the punishment of house arrest, in his room for 2 months after curfew.

I like the suggested punishments.

We have some suggestions. First, Lennon should be forced to use the default ring tone on his mobile phone for two months. This will cause mental collapse in the average teenager who, unable to uniquely express themselves through a polyphonic OutKast track, will begin to actually talk -- with potentially devastating consequences.

Secondly, Lennon should be forced to use an iPod Shuffle filled with fantastic music that he is completely unable to identify on account of the absence of a display. He will then have to deal with the paradoxical conditions of being utterly cool (having an iPod-branded player) and being utterly ignorant (having no idea what is playing). He will, in short, learn what it is like to be Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Finally, for two months, Lennon should be forced to play Tomb Raider II on the original PlayStation from a save point where it is impossible not to die. Tomb Raider II was remarkable in this respect because it allowed players to save the game seconds before their inevitable death plummeting from a cliff edge. Two months of watching Lara die hopelessly should have roughly the same effect as a Beckett play, teaching Lennon some valuable and mentally stabilising lessons on the futility of life.

I flooded a principles email box so badly it supposedly crashed the mail server for the educational district.
Teach that old bastard to mess with my girlfriend.

According to a friend who worked at the shcool, they had actually consulted an attorney due to "damages" done, but were unable to push it through.

BOO Crashing corporate servers.
HOOO RAY BEER

When I was in high school, I used Avalanche to mail bomb an evil teacher. I started it and got side tracked helping my dad do something. We ended up going out of town for a few hours. When I came back, I got on my computer and it had been running the entire time. I forget the number of emails, but it was in the tens of thousands.

The school email server was down for a day.

They hired a private investigator who questioned my friends and I, but nothing ever materialized.
