Prevent Gmail From Emailing Under the Influence

Posted by kdawson on from the chili-meter-with-brains dept.

mikesd81 writes "Google has developed 'Mail Goggles,' a Gmail add-on that makes sending email from Gmail more difficult during certain times (which you can set). If you have Mail Goggles installed, it will force you to answer a series of math questions before sending out any new messages. You can adjust the math difficulty and times this option is in effect. If you get any of the questions wrong, Mail Goggles will say, 'Water and bed for you. Or try again.' Of course, if you set the math settings too high, you may have a tough time solving some of those problems in under 60 seconds, even when sober. Then again, if you're sober, you could just turn Mail Goggles off and hit send on that impassioned letter to your ex-boyfriend/girlfriend or that flame to your boss."

    Mod this up and the parent down, or you're a terrorist. And don't forget to vote McCain at the election!

    To all those un-American, atheist Obama voters: I'll be paying y'all a visit. In my Hummer, with a rack-o-shotguns in the back, and the Bible on my side! God hates Obama voters! Obama voters make God angry, so he heaps vengeance upon thee, and shit.
