That Link Is Illegal

Posted by timothy on from the so-put-it-on-a-non-school-server dept.

buzzdecafe writes with a snippet from a Declan McCullagh piece on news.com today: "The University of California at San Diego has ordered a student organization to delete hyperlinks to an alleged terrorist Web site, citing the recently enacted USA Patriot Act. School administrators have told the group, called the Che Cafe Collective, that linking to a site supporting the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia (FARC) would not be permitted because it violated federal law."

    Can we add a new moderation category -- "-1, Tired, Old Joke"?

    If not, could we at least persuade moderators to use "-1 Redundant" on all these things? It's obviously all been done...

    If not, could all you "profit!!!" fiends please start combining other old tired jokes? For example:

    1. "How about a beowulf cluster of these? Profit!!!"
    2. "A beowulf cluster of PROFIT!!!"
    3. "Step 4: PROFIT!!!! Step 5: All your profit are belong to us!"
    4. "All your beowulf clusters of PROFIT!!! are belong to us!"
    5. "Take off every clusters of natalie portman petrified with hot grits poured down their pants. For great PROFIT!!! Take off every cluster"


    If not, please find a dirigible covered in aluminum nitrate, OK? If not for you, then for me....
