] A U.S. district court in Seattle Friday sentenced a
] 19-year-old Minnesota teen to 18 months in prison for
] unleashing a variant of the MSBlast worm.

This is probably a reasonable end to this story. I still think the sentence is too long, but its not the 10 years they were talking about. Look for "hangem high" sysadmin types who don't know anything about the justice system to scream about this not being a deterent.
