So can you guarantee that I'm not going to go to jail if I cross into Canada because I talked with a Canadian 13-year-old about the anime One Piece online with no intent to have sex with them whatsoever? Because I'm thinking of emigrating to Canada, and they're supposed to be the nice and sensible country compared to the States.

WordPress Exploit Allows Admin Password Reset 100

Multiple readers have sent word of a vulnerability in WordPress 2.8.3 which allows anyone to lock an admin out of his or her account by resetting the password. "The bug ... is trivial to exploit remotely using nothing more than a web browser and a specially manipulated link. Typically, requests to reset a password are handled using a registered email address. Using the special URL, the old password is removed and a new one generated in its place with no confirmation required." An alert on the Full Disclosure mailing list detailed the vulnerability, and WordPress quickly rolled out version 2.8.4 to address the issue.

Actually, most states have an age of consent of 16, no matter how old the other party is. Moreover, nude photos of anyone of any age are not illegal - they have to be sexually explicit as a precondition for a charge of the photos being child pornography.
