Also, tl;dr.

This is slashdot and not a magazine. So unless you have something VERY interesting to say, keep the word count low. I don't give a sh!t for long-winded novels. Those of us that do will *GASP* RTFA.

(cue the "insensitive clod" replies below...)

Now who's cheating at slashdot? You don't RTFA, EVER.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX! (points finger) Heh.. could you imagine the prof turning in to a real life Dr. Hax any time he catches someone cheating? (More than enough decomissioned CRTs... that's not a problem).

Oh, we've opened the lid allright... just haven't looked :) Terribly appropriate physics joke... +1 for you, good sir. now, if only I actually had mod points.

The one problem with text-based messages. Sarcasm and bad jokes are taken seriously far too often. :D

What, and have every single court become a Judge Judy stage?

By your logic, I like airplanes... Know why? There aren't any icebergs in the sky for them to hit and sink... The point is, both of these cases are rarities, and the fact that there are many successful flights every day is never considreed when there is a monthly news flash about a crashed plane. I recall reading an article pointing out that fewer people die in airplane accidents than car crashes. The difference is that so many die at once that it becomes a media circus.

so does adblock... you just need to find the js that triggers it and block.

RMS, is that you?

In other news, all internet connected houesholds have terminated their service contracts and gone to live in cardboard boxes under bridges.

Isn't there a clause in most TOSes that you have to be over the age of majority to play/use? (Not that people read those things...) I have a hard time how this could be a foundation for any case at all... you cannot persecute if they do not know the other person was a child (your case falls apart), so you'd end up having to prove whether they knew or did not know this... which is pretty damn near impossible... until they bring out the mind-reader.

I agree... this is definitely putting a proverbial cart before the proverbial horse^D^D^D^D^D unicorn

And what about other accidental scenarios? Recently someone started sending CP spam (contained links, fortunately no images) to members a widely-used linux-centric mailing list. Granted, they were banned as soon as the mods found out, but now does everyone who got those e-mails get arrested and get jail time?
