    dollars to doughnuts it will be plagued with viruses as soon as they hook it up to SKYNET.

    We are all doomed.

    A 30-page guide on avoiding Slashdotting would be more helpful I think.

    Hehe, they used Slashdot in the Firefox screenshots, it's like they are asking for it :)

    You might also want to ban such things as...

    Helping the police
    If you help them less they will have more job security as there is more to do.

    Helping war victims
    They should help themselves!
    This also goes for helping any disadvantaged group.

    not droppinng litter.
    more job security for the low paid

    Helping lil' ol' ladies accross the road
    they need to get their act together and do it themselves

    Any form of altruism
    people should help themselves. Self reliance should be encouraged.
