College Threatens Students Over Email Addresses
superdave98 writes "As a sign that a CIO has way too much time on his hands, Santa Rosa Junior College is sending emails threatening lawsuits to staff and students who have the letters 'SRJC' in their private email addresses. They contend that people could be confused and think these are official email addresses. Sure, I suppose people who fall for 419 scams probably could be fooled, but not any reasonable humans. I can't believe they found a lawyer who thought this was a good idea."
Shelter Rock Jewish Center or Serangoon Junior College or
Samuel Robert James Colbert?
They just put the fear of god into srjc_p1mp69.
SRJC Sam Robert Jacob Christinson? Can I sue the college for using my initals in their offical email? Someone may confuse me with them
have you seen my sig? there are many others like it but none that are the same
I have never heard of Santa Rosa Junior College and if they hadn't gotten themselves on Slashdot, I never would have. Even if they don't get a single email address changed, they've gotten something out of this move.
When someone says, "Any fool can see
I can't believe they found a lawyer who thought this was a good idea.
I can't believe they only found one.
No problem dude, I'll just change my email to FU_KenFiori@gmail.com .

The two people mentioned in the article as being behind the policy are:
MK Rudolph - mrudolph@santarosa.edu and
K Fiori - kfiori@santarosa.edu
The latter created the policy (director of computing services) and the former has her weight behind it (VP Academic Affairs). Just figured it'd be useful information to have. I'm in no way suggesting that all of slashdot go out and register variants of hotGritzIn_SJRC@gmail.com and youSuck_SJRC@yahoo.com or anything like that. And using hundreds of those emails to spam the everliving bejeezus out of their mailboxes would be nearly as morally questionable as suing your own students for making similar addresses. So I'd never suggest that either.
Oh god, that woman is John Romero!
http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/food/beverages/coffee-tea/coffee-taste-test-3-07/overview/0307_coffee_ov_1.htm Your are apparently in the minority. CR's taste test found McDonald's coffee was the best.
I trust Consumer Reports to rate food about as much as I trust Cook's Illustrated to rate chainsaws.
The State of California is doing some massive budget cuts. Santa Rosa is cutting so deep that they're turning off street lights in the middle of blocks to save money. Looks like we found some people who don't have much to do and can be laid off.
Woot! I grabbed JohnDoe_SRJC@yahoo.com!
1. Check slashdot
2. Grab example email address from news article
3. ???
4. Profit!
I'm sitting here watching the yahoo inbox, just waiting for the bucket loads of money to start pouring in...hahaha...SUCKERS!
I don't know what bugs me more.
The insistence on shit like:
(s)he
s/he
he/she
him/her
latin@
etc.
Or the counter movement where authors intentionally choose the female pronoun, or alternate between the two, use words like "womyn", etc.
Either way, I do my part by using "they/their" for some singulars ("If your friend touches you where you don't want them to, they are not your friend."), and in this case, I would have said:
A lawyer will take any case it can make a buck on.
Hell, I think I'll be using "it" in place of he/she/him/her/etc. from now on.
especially when it comes to lawyers
I'd like to see the guy with the bowtie run a chainsaw.

Yes but you get that kind of damage from McDonald's coffee even when it's cold...
And you have to wait over an hour to be able to pour it on your crotch....such a tragedy!
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
Well, to use the current Darwin Award rules, death is not required. Inability to reproduce is. Specifically, sterilization is a viable alternative. So, given sufficient quantities of sufficiently hot coffee dumped into a crotch (which, by normal human physiology, is necessary to reproduction), non-lethal hot coffee burns may qualify.
Welcome to the Panopticon. Used to be a prison, now it's your home.
I am lactose intolerant you insensitive clod.
If I were God, wouldn't I protect my churches from acts of me?
If inability to reproduce qualifies one for the Darwin Awards, I think 90% of the Linux user-base can make it to the finals.
Can we strike down the assumption that in order for
a particular substance to be agreeable to your palate then it must also be judged crotch-friendly?
I like vinegar on my fries. I don't feel the need to test the viability of this combination by pouring dilute acid on my wang. I like hot peppers. I don't need to do quality control on these by first rubbing them on my groin. (I do it because I can.)
What an utter moron. Must be a lot of fun to work for this woman. I think our nationwide unemployment rate is about to go up by 1.
Nah, just soaking your testicles in boiling coffee should keep you from reproducing.

This is the US we're talking about here.
As a brit who occasionally has to travel abroad, it is damn-near impossible to get a good cup of tea in the US because tea really needs to be made with boiling water. Boiling. Not "very hot". Boiling.
Seriously, has concept of a kettle (meaning a jug which holds about 3 pints of water and has a heating element built in which will boil the water and cut-out when there's sufficient steam to operate a cutout switch) not made it over there?
You have to be stupid to get a Darwin Award. Now, Windows fanbois, they're another story...
