&gt; &quot;Tits or GTFO.&quot;<p>&gt; Surprisingly, that didn&#x27;t deter Kylie. In fact, she responded by posting a picture of herself in a bikini. &quot;So we started talking,&quot; says Higinio. &quot;And from there it was just love.<p>This has to be the first instance in history where that line has resulted in marriage.

This comment from Higinio is both telling of his mindset and maddening:<p><pre><code> &quot;They&#x27;re not going to give a [...] 13-year-old kid access to a multi-million dollar Unix server because he wants to learn to program. They will use shitty passwords and let me break into it. But that&#x27;s on them.&quot;</code></pre>

&quot;Since Higinio&#x27;s parole officer doesn&#x27;t want Kylie acting as a middle-man between Higinio and the Internet, for larger batches of code he is forced to actually print the code out and mail it to his boss, who then has someone else type it up.&quot;<p>So stupid.

Convicted hit-and-run drivers should similarly be forbidden from taking a taxi or bus, or riding as a passenger. They are dangerous if in any contact with a motor vehicle. And that should probably include escalators and elevators, too.

There&#x27;s no way this guy is not using the internet from time to time. If his wife is allowed to use it, how will the parole officer know if it&#x27;s him or his wife using it?

You can&#x27;t make this shit up:<p>&gt; Like the hacks that had come before it, Higinio released the information in a web page which contained some ASCII art, a video, and a picture of Kylie from the neck down holding a sign that said &quot;PwNd by wOrmer &amp; CabinCr3w &lt;3 u BiTch&#x27;s!&quot; The picture was taken with Kylie&#x27;s iPhone and she had location services turned on. This meant that location data was embedded in every picture she took.

This is a great article - I feel like I want to read more, and that it should be expanded into a feature.<p>Nothing is stopping him from writing brutally malicious code, by the way. He is technically still a threat. At any time, he could hand that USB over to his wife with malicious intent.<p>That&#x27;s not a judgement of him, but a simple analysis of how cyber crime and punishment is still entirely misunderstood by the majority of the legal system.

I wonder if he could pick up a couple of dial-up modems, and set up a dial in BBS at work and use that for file transfer?

Serious question: do they sometimes ban offenders from using phones or books?
