PC Repair In Texas Now Requires a PI License

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the lumberjack-requires-scuba-license-too dept.

JohnnyNapalm writes "In some shocking news out of Texas, PC repair will now require a PI License. Surely this stands to have a substantial impact on small repair shops around the state if upheld. Never fear, however, as the first counter-suit has already been filed."

    "PC Repair in Texas now requires a pi license"

    Want to fix PCs? Recite the first 100 decimal places of pi.

    Despite the alarmist tone of TFA, the law is obviously not intended to apply to computer repair. It is meant to apply to those whose work involves the review and analysis of material stored on a computer. In other words, Media Sentry will need a PI license to check Texans' hard drives, but the Geek Squad can just keep on as they have been. Sorry, my Texas friends, but you can't avoid working on your mom's Windows Vista machine by telling her you don't have PI license.

    Ever hear the expression "Never judge a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes"?

    Yes, that way if he gets angry with you he's a mile away, and barefoot.
