Yeah, so? The 4200 paroled sex offenders who are under lifetime supervision are obviously dangerous people - they wouldn't bother supervising someone who pinched someones bum in high school. It may be applied to these guys, but only if they're considered a serious threat.
The bill applies to anyone who used a computer to help commit the original sex crime.
This seems to make slightly more sense than how the summary portrays it. If they were convicted of molesting someone through myspace et al, why not take their weapon away from them? On the otherhand, if you didn't know she was underage at that party, from the sounds of things you should still be able to read slashdot.
Can slashdot comments have one of those EULA style things that pops up and asks you to check that you've RTFA'd?
Or maybe some kind of captcha that makes you answer questions about TFA?:P
Anyone who has had to deal with the Domain Registry of America will understand this.
Soon after one of our clients register a domain with us, these lovely people will send a very convincing snail-mail to the customer based on their whois data with a payslip attached, saying words to the effect of "Your domain will expire unless you register with us!"
In the UK, the Office of Fair Trading seem to have turned a blind eye to this despite numerous complaints.
The only way i see this working would be if organizations were compensated for sharing. Not just "encouraged". It'd be nice to put some of the excess on our fiber circuits to good use.

They blocked you from even surfing the web?! Sounds fair; see no evil, do no evil! Port 80 is the default HTTP port.

Even better, how about roaming?
You don't ever want to have to stay in JUST ONE coffee shop just because SP3 is downloading.
...but will BT pay for it?
