    What fools

    If they are dumb enough to hack and/or to announce their intent to hack, then five years in the slammer is well deserved. They are too stupid to be on the street.

    Fools pissing of the Chinease Govt

    Aye, youth eh?

    On top of that, anyone pissing of the Chinease government is going to be dead in about 20 seconds anyway

    pass me a new script monkey, this ones broken
