The time was once when slashdot articles were properly vetted and *edited*.
I don't really want to start a "my UID is lower than yours" thread, but I certainly don't remember a time like that...

How do you prove that a person was 'texting, webbing, reading, etc'?
You do realize that your phone isn't some miracle device that just magically receives web pages and texts on its own, right? There's a whole infrastructure in place for connecting that phone to the interweb, and part of that infrastructure exists to log everything that happens on the network. Yeah, if you're reading the copy of Moby Dick you downloaded last night, that won't be so easy to prove; but when you're sending and receiving texts for the six minutes leading up to your crash, that'll be an easy case for the DA to make.
