Every time I blog about not blogging (see below) I get the urge to blog. Can't pass up pointing to this article, which makes an argument that I have been making for several years: Computer hackers ought to be executed. Not all of them - just a few, to provide instructive examples to the rest.
Capital punishment is largely wasted on murderers, who as a class value life less than most people and who often act out of short-term motivations that aren't easily deterred by the prospect of distant and uncertain punishment. But hackers -- a couple of executions there would really get their attention. And be good for the economy, too.
