According to AFP, he also admitted to hacking into a Fed computer server and installing a malicious software code there.

Lin, who is from Ipoh, travelled to the United States in October last year “for the purpose of selling stolen credit card and bank card numbers” but a purchaser was in fact an undercover US agent, according to prosecutors.

When he was arrested, Lin held over 122,000 stolen bank card and credit card numbers. The US Justice Department said Lin’s “cybercrime activities also extended to the national security sector”, including hacking into the computer system of a Pentagon contractor that provides systems management services for military transport and other military operations.

“Today’s sentence sends the message to hackers around the world that the United States is no place to conduct their business,” US Attorney Loretta Lynch said in a statement on Friday.

Dhillon Andrew Kannabhiran, founder and chief executive officer of hackers community Hack in The Box, said the stiff 10-year sentence was meant to deter hackers from hacking into government networks.

“Details of the case are not clear to me, but you can argue that 10 years for computer crime is harsh by any standards,” Dhillon told The Star.

“It’s definitely a sentence which is meant to send a message.” Dhillon said the hacker was “asking for trouble” “Hacking is a tool. Just like a knife can be used by a chef to prepare a meal or to stab someone. It is your motives that sets you apart. People who use their skills to commit financial fraud are not hackers, but just criminals,” he said.

Lin, according to a fellow hacker, deserved his punishment.

“Most hackers have the skills to breach a computer security system. But once you use your skills for malice, then you have committed a crime,” said a computer security consultant who wished to be identified as Sam. “If you are caught, you deserve to be punished like any other criminal.”

Sam said most people with hacking expertise, like himself, were hired by companies to “test” their computer security system. “Most of us use our skills to make a decent, legitimate living.”

It does sound stupid at first, but clothes can surely become our mobile advertisement slogans because we wear them and move around. Hence, we become human banners that are speaking about the way we feel and what kind of attitude we prefer. T-shirts have now become the mobile banner for all the youngsters as they prefer to wear funny tshirts that have some kind of preaching statements, one liners and funny pictures on it. These tshirts are not only popular in the West, but many Asian countries like India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka are soon following the trend.

Another way to speak up your mind when you are at home or in your school is to use film posters. Of course, there are thousands of movie posters available all over the internet and even in stores, but there may be some posters that appeal to you because there is something in it that attracts you. It can be that you love action heroes and therefore you have a film poster of Bruce Willis or Jet Li with some action sequence in the background or some other posters where the heroes are flexing their muscles.

If you are crazy about movies then you can also get inspired by certain genres of movies. There are many creative people who look at movies with different perspective and therefore they are able to know more about their movies than any other local movie freak. There are many internet websites like IMDB where you can find some of the latest information about the movies that are about to release and also about the movies that have made it to the box office. You can even read about how the audience felt about a certain type of movie on such websites.

The yellow American-style school bus has been fitted with a jet engine from a Phantom fighter plane, allowing it to reach up to 367 mph. Paul Stender and his team from Indy Boys Inc, based in Indianapolis, USA adapted the bus which uses a full tank of 150 gallons of fuel in just one quarter-mile run.

Mr Stender’s creation, which he has dubbed ‘The School Time Jet-Powered School Bus’, also fires out 80 foot flames from the back creating massive clouds of smoke. Mr Stender, 43, said: “I built the bus for two reasons. The first is to entertain people because, come on, it’s a jet bus.

The second, is to keep kids off drugs. Jets are hot, drugs are not. The entire vehicle was custom built by myself. There’s no way the original bus could have withstood the speeds that I take it to. We do a lot of displays at schools and we are trying to show them there’s more to life than sitting in front of computers.

Mr Stender, whose mechanical skills are entirely self taught, said he has a passion for making things go fast.

He said: “I bought it just as an old school bus, but I have to say only about five percent are original parts. Actually a lot of it is hand-crafted and the types of metals used would be more at home on an aircraft. There’s still some bus left on it, a little bit on the front. And of course the door handle and the door are all original. I grew up on a farm and to tell you the truth I always wanted to learn things myself and didn’t like school much. I guess this is my revenge for all those days riding on the slow journey to school, now it goes at my kind of pace.”
