Wow ! Only 18 and nothing more productive to do with his time. All that talent and he uses it the wrong way. I bet his parents are proud - NOT !
With a lot of these teenagers I wonder what their mothers would think.
When you hear a kid/teenager being foulmouthed you can say "You kiss your mother with that mouth?"
However, I'm not sure I want to go down the route of "You touch your mother with those fingers?" when they're doing stuff like that online

I only use reuters for the news - I find them the most objective and trustworthy. Therefore when I post a link to inform people of these things, rather than keeping it to myself, I know it's fairly certain to be accurate.
Well, I can't put my radio in the forum 
Besides that, it speaks french
And even news from newspapers I couldn't give links here as I mainly read them in french and dutch generally .. does that mean I can't talk about the news we hear here in Belgium ?

Glad they caught him. Now, he's one that definately deserves the treatment some Iraquis have recieved. They should send him to one of those prisons. actually,they should let him loose in a crowd of internet users that were infected or fearful of the worm. That'll teach him, if he lived through it. 
At least now our Windows is a little less buggy now. His virus managed to force Windows to patch that hole up.
lol. True.........
For an 18 year old to display such dexterity on a computer is commendable, even if his uses are not.
