    any and all computers owned by private citizens may only be kept in a locked case separate from the power cable. Further, in Washington DC, it must be kept disassembled, and also, the government has the right at any time to examine the contents of your computer without a search warrant...wait...

    Bending the law is exactly what it is. And Capone did evade taxes, as he never paid taxes on his illegal gains.

    This, on the other hand, is trying to take a hacking law and apply it to something that is clearly not, repeat, NOT hacking. Cayenne's phrasing, "ominous precedent," puts it pretty succinctly. The government can't be allowed to apply whatever law it feels like because the other ones don't fit. That's why we have laws in the first place.

    It's unfortunate that every time a mother with a teary eye shows up on the TV, people get whipped into an emotional frenzy without taking a moment to evaluate the unintended consequences of their desired course of action.

    Your post hurt my feelings so much that I attempted to commit suicide. You should be put behind bars for intentionally trying to hurt me through cyber-bullying.

    But seriously, STFU.

    Totally agree. If it hadn't been for this, she probably would have offed herself over something equally ignorant. Not to mention that this case is now about "hacking." Essentially, if convicted, it will make creating and using a fake account punishable by up to five years for each offense. I've created fake accounts plenty of times, enough that I would be able to spend the rest of my life in prison. We should really blame Hawthorne Heights and the like for perpetuating a scene that gives you more cool points the more depressed you are. Do I condone the woman's actions? Not in the least. Do I have sympathy for the mother of the suicidal girl? Yes. That being said, if you commit suicide over a myspace message, you were a ticking time bomb anyway.

    http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/06/060614-contrails.html Aircraft are believed to be responsible for 2 to 3 percent of human CO2 emissions. Like other high, thin clouds, contrails reflect sunlight back into space and cool the planet. However, they also trap energy in Earth's atmosphere and boost the warming effect, the study says. (See National Geographic magazine's "Global Warning: Signs From Earth.") Stuber and other scientists believe that the effect of the contrails is significant. "On average the greenhouse warming effect dominates [the effects of contrails]," said Stuber, a meteorologist at England's University of Reading.

    This really is just the next CSS. Just imagine how much cheaper the components would be if it weren't for the money the manufacturers spend on this pointless crap. It's really hard to get worked up over something like this though, seeing as how it's probably already been broken.
