SCO Chairman Fights to Ban Open Wireless Networks
cachedout writes "SCO's Ralph Yarro had the floor yesterday at the Utah Technology Commission meeting in front of Utah lawmakers. Yarro proposed that free wireless sites and subscribers should be held responsible should any porn be delivered to minors because hotspots are apparently where kids go to watch porn all day long. Yarro told lawmakers that open wireless access points should be made a crime because we have an Internet out of control."
SCO bans you!!
You just have to control the tubes.

Maybe he was searching for a crack :)
How we know is more important than what we know.
Why would anyone take this nutbag seriously? The mere fact that he works for SCO shows he's got his head firmly stuck up his ass. Oh...wait...he was talking to politicians, wasn't he? One nutbag talking to a bunch of nutbags...they gather in flocks.
I want a new quote. One that won't spill. One that don't cost too much. Or come in a pill.
"I'm thinking of re-painting the garage, and I wanted to find out if latex paint would bond to stucco, so I thought I would do a 'search' for, oh, I don't know... 'latex bondage'."
I like to place meaningful quotes in my sig, so people will know that I know what meaningful quotes are.
Oh yeah. It's all about the hyperbole these days. Everybody knows that hyperbole is always a million times better that accuracy. All day long they know that.
I judt got a nre Kinesis keybiartf so please excusr ant egregiou typos.
1-900 numbers! We have a telephone system that is out of control! Won't somebody think of the children!
Ignorance is curable, stupid is forever.
Boobies!
Good thing there aren't any worse problems in the world to concern ourselves with.
..don't panic
Yea, who the hell looks at porn all day long. If I look for more than about 15 minutes I suddenly lose interest and move on.
Paying taxes to buy civilization is like paying a hooker to buy love.
Then why click on the link to Nastyladies.com instead of sherwinwilliams.com ? Or perhaps "I Feel Lucky" doesn't mean what he thought it did ;)
;)
:( :)
Now wtf did that have to do with wireless again? or was it about Wii? or was it about cellphones? Bah i lost track
bummer, no mod points today
I suspect i get more than my share by NOT using them all
I thought they were messages from God, kinda like cyber age writing on the wall.
Engineering is the art of compromise.
Kids are able to just look at anything they turn their eyes towards, whether or not it's appropriate! They just look, look, look. All day long, even if their parents aren't present!
Studies show that most porn enjoyed by children is primarily through their eyes. Clearly, light is out of control. There ought to be a law.

do NOT search for "Tranny"
also bad:
"Tranny fluid"
"tranny problems"
or
"Chicks with dicks."

You misspelled "misspelled".
My other car is first.
They have a name for the medical operation of changing a woman into a man... it's called an "addedictomy".

He has to pull his head out of it first.
Hi,
If I could just have a moment of your time, are you aware of all the dangers faced by children in society these days? Simple things like colds and scrapes and growing pains, to the frightening reality of paedophiles, child molesters, apathetic parents and abandonment, gangs and violent computer games and widespread pornography on the internet. Don't you think something needs to be done about it all?
I'm asking people to sign this petition I have here. I'm looking for signatures to convince the government to do something about all these problems once and for all. The solution is actually surprisingly simple, but our elected officials don't seem to have realised it, yet. All we have to do is ban children.
Yes, ban children. It's guaranteed to work! Wait, don't go! It'll really work! All you have to do is get rid of all these bloody kids and then you won't have to think of the children ever again, because there won't be any more children to think of! Isn't that wonderful?!
Oh shit, she's getting the cops! *runs*
I'm glad you posted that link, because I was googling for a Missionary position and you just wouldn't believe the type of stuff that started popping up on my screen.
(I enabled WEP on my wifi and now it's much better... )
29 mpg. YMMV.
Indeed. Free sex is all well and good but it's basically just a hobby. If you want quality sex with proper support options you need to be paying a vendor for it.
This cry for civility from the same person who said "In an ideal world, you'd just be held liable for being too stupid to secure your access point"?
I've fallen off your lawn, and I can't get up.
