About six months ago, I was overexerting myself trying to get rid of a terrible virus on a client's PC (I own a PC repair shop and have been fixing computers for over 10 years). Given my level of expertise, I thought I'd be able to get rid of it fairly quickly and without hassle, but as was made evident by my colossal failure, I was horribly, horribly wrong.
I couldn't remove the virus no matter what method I used. I tried all the latest anti-virus software and all the usual tricks, but it was all in vain. Failure after failure, my life was slowly being sucked away as I spent more and more of my time trying to get rid of this otherworldly virus.
Frustrated and stressed by my own failure, I began distancing myself from my wife and children. After a few days, I began verbally abusing them, and it eventually escalated into physical abuse. I was slowly losing what remaining sanity I had left. If this had continued for much longer, it is highly probable that I would have committed suicide. A mere shell of what I once was, I barricaded myself in my bedroom and cried myself to sleep for days on end.
That's when it happened: I found MyCleanPC! I installed MyCleanPC right on the client's PC, ran a scan, and it immediately got rid of all the viruses without a single problem. MyCleanPC accomplished in record time what I was unable to accomplish after a full week. Wow! Such a thing!
MyCleanPC is outstanding! My client's computer is running faster than ever! I highly recommend you install MyCleanPC right this minuteness, run a scan, and then boost your PC speed in record time! MyCleanPC came through with flying colours where no one else could!
My client's response? "MyCleanPC totally cleaned up my system, and increased my speed!" All the PC repair professionals are using MyCleanPC to solve all of their problems. This should be reason enough for you to switch to MyCleanPC! It'll speed up your computer, rid it of all viruses, and you'll be able to work productively again! Wow!
Even if you're not having any obvious computer problems, you could still be in trouble. That's why I very highly recommend that you still use MyCleanPC. After all, it will boost your PC & internet speed to levels you never would think are possible!
A few weeks ago, I foolishly ran a strange executable file that one of my acquaintances sent me by email. As someone who doesn't know much about computers, at the time, I thought nothing of it. "Why would my acquaintance want to hurt me?" Following this line of thought, I ran the file without question.
How naive I was. Despite having what was supposedly the best anti-virus software out right then, a virus took over my computer and held it hostage. It was pretending to be a warning from Windows telling me to buy some strange anti-virus software I'd never heard of from a company I'd never heard of to remove the virus.
This immediately set alarm bells off in my head. "How could this happen? My anti-virus is supposed to be second to none!" Faced with this harsh and depressing reality, I decided to take it to a PC repair shop for repair. They gladly accepted the job, told me it'd be fixed in a few days, and sent me off with a smile.
A few days later, they called me and told me to come pick up my computer. At the time, I noticed that they sounded like whimpering animals, but I concluded that it must just be stress from work. When I arrived, they, with tears in their eyes, told me that the virus was so awful and merciless that they were unable to remove it. "Ah," I thought. "That must be why the

That sounds scrump as fuck! My smelly cock just licked its chops and locked onto that rancid rectum you're ranting and raving about! I think I want sloppy 43rds... What say you? What say you?

No, you're an idiot. People are saying the punishment doesn't fit the crime, and all pieces of garbage like you can say is, "Don't do that." It's completely irrelevant and useless.
In both this crime and the crimes I mentioned, the crime was only committed for one minute.
That's where the similarities end. Different crimes call for different punishments. Taking into account the length of time someone performed the action could be used to evaluate the damages in cases where that's a relevant factor, like this one.
Those people exist, and to paraphrase, "People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."-Orwell,
Unfortunately, those rough men also consume tons of tax money to fight in ridiculous wars and kill thousands upon thousands of innocents unnecessarily. Real wars of defense are few and far between.
If you try to get the government to declare the contracts invalid retroactively your are just destroying contract law.
That's absurd. There are certain contracts that are invalid. You can't sign yourself into slavery, for instance. Making unjust contracts unenforceable is well within the power of the people, as they control (or should control) the government that enforces these pieces of trash.
If you agree to the contracts on these devices, you are asking to be monitored. Literally.
You don't have to agree to anything by using these devices. Likely, people don't even read the contracts, so they aren't really agreeing to anything, just as people who enter airports aren't literally asking the TSA to molest them.
I agree that people shouldn't use these devices if they can help it, but that logic isn't going to work.
Totally painless and a minor inconvenience, understandable in the light of things.
Violating people's rights is not painless, a mere inconvenience, or understandable. In what way could that ever be understandable? Freedom is more important than security, sheep.
I don't understand why the lunatic fringe of Slashdot treats this short procedure as some unconscionable violation of basic human rights.
Because it's a blatant, egregious violation of the US constitution. In no free country should the government harass people and violate their privacy/rights in order to check if they're innocent.
Don't participate in an illegal conspiracy if you don't want to get caught and penalized.
That has nothing to do with this.
Maybe this will serve as a lesson to someone else
Not only does that Tough On Crime nonsense not work (as we've already seen with copyright infringement), but it doesn't matter if it did work; justice is more important than security. Period.
If the risk for committing a grave offense is too low, then the penalty when caught usually rises.
As I said, justice > security, just like freedom > security. I'm opposed to the TSA, just as I'm opposed to this garbage of punishing someone more severely merely because it's difficult to catch people who do that crime.
Again, I don't think there was ever a point when America was some bastion of freedom. The government has always been violating people's rights and the constitution. It's not a matter of perfection, either; the violations have always been egregious.
Imagine if everytime you went to the store, you took a nickel out of the till. Now imagine everyone doing the same thing. No one person is "stealing that much" but in aggregate, they are stealing the store into bankruptcy.
What does that have to do with this? Nothin'.
In short, STEALING is a crime, because it wrong
That makes no sense. What is moral is not always legal, and what is immoral is not always illegal. Stealing isn't necessarily a crime merely because it's wrong.
Nonsense. Did they catch him stealing more than 5 cents worth of electricity? No. You can't punish him for things he merely may have done; that's ridiculous and unjust.
I was thinking the same thing. Everyone loves electric cars so much that they naturally defend any fellow hippie driving one, when he's stealing electricity from the man (because, hey, electricity should be free, man--you know, like the air and shit).
I haven't seen a single indication that that's the attitude people here have.

MyCleanPC is outstanding! My client's computer is running faster than ever! I highly recommend you install MyCleanPC right this minuteness, run a scan, and then boost your PC speed in record time! MyCleanPC came through with flying colours where no one else could!
My client's response? "MyCleanPC totally cleaned up my system, and increased my speed!" All the PC repair professionals are using MyCleanPC to solve all of their problems. This should be reason enough for you to switch to MyCleanPC! It'll speed up your computer, rid it of all viruses, and you'll be able to work productively again! Wow!
Even if you're not having any obvious computer problems, you could still be in trouble. That's why I very highly recommend that you still use MyCleanPC. After all, it will boost your PC & internet speed to levels you never would think are possible!

A few weeks ago, I foolishly ran a strange executable file that one of my acquaintances sent me by email. As someone who doesn't know much about computers, at the time, I thought nothing of it. "Why would my acquaintance want to hurt me?" Following this line of thought, I ran the file without question.
How naive I was. Despite having what was supposedly the best anti-virus software out right then, a virus took over my computer and held it hostage. It was pretending to be a warning from Windows telling me to buy some strange anti-virus software I'd never heard of from a company I'd never heard of to remove the virus.
This immediately set alarm bells off in my head. "How could this happen? My anti-virus is supposed to be second to none!" Faced with this harsh and depressing reality, I decided to take it to a PC repair shop for repair. They gladly accepted the job, told me it'd be fixed in a few days, and sent me off with a smile.
A few days later, they called me and told me to come pick up my computer. At the time, I noticed that they sounded like whimpering animals, but I concluded that it must just be stress from work. When I arrived, they, with tears in their eyes, told me that the virus was so awful and merciless that they were unable to remove it. "Ah," I thought. "That must be why the

About six months ago, I was overexerting myself trying to get rid of a terrible virus on a client's PC (I own a PC repair shop and have been fixing computers for over 10 years). Given my level of expertise, I thought I'd be able to get rid of it fairly quickly and without hassle, but as was made evident by my colossal failure, I was horribly, horribly wrong.
I couldn't remove the virus no matter what method I used. I tried all the latest anti-virus software and all the usual tricks, but it was all in vain. Failure after failure, my life was slowly being sucked away as I spent more and more of my time trying to get rid of this otherworldly virus.
Frustrated and stressed by my own failure, I began distancing myself from my wife and children. After a few days, I began verbally abusing them, and it eventually escalated into physical abuse. I was slowly losing what remaining sanity I had left. If this had continued for much longer, it is highly probable that I would have committed suicide. A mere shell of what I once was, I barricaded myself in my bedroom and cried myself to sleep for days on end.

That sounds scrump as fuck! My smelly cock just licked its chops and locked onto that rancid rectum you're ranting and raving about! I think I want sloppy 43rds... What say you? What say you?

In short, YOU (we, us) are the problem, not the soldiers we send on our behalf.
Wrong. They're also part of the problem. It's not either/or.
No, you're an idiot. People are saying the punishment doesn't fit the crime, and all pieces of garbage like you can say is, "Don't do that." It's completely irrelevant and useless.
You're an idiot.
In both this crime and the crimes I mentioned, the crime was only committed for one minute.
That's where the similarities end. Different crimes call for different punishments. Taking into account the length of time someone performed the action could be used to evaluate the damages in cases where that's a relevant factor, like this one.
Slashdot can't claim "privacy" over its own metadata with one hand and pirate movies with the other.
You assume that the two groups of the same.
Furthermore, you confuse private data with public data. Games, movies, music, etc. are all public.
Those people exist, and to paraphrase, "People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."-Orwell,
Unfortunately, those rough men also consume tons of tax money to fight in ridiculous wars and kill thousands upon thousands of innocents unnecessarily. Real wars of defense are few and far between.
If you try to get the government to declare the contracts invalid retroactively your are just destroying contract law.
That's absurd. There are certain contracts that are invalid. You can't sign yourself into slavery, for instance. Making unjust contracts unenforceable is well within the power of the people, as they control (or should control) the government that enforces these pieces of trash.
If you agree to the contracts on these devices, you are asking to be monitored. Literally.
You don't have to agree to anything by using these devices. Likely, people don't even read the contracts, so they aren't really agreeing to anything, just as people who enter airports aren't literally asking the TSA to molest them.
I agree that people shouldn't use these devices if they can help it, but that logic isn't going to work.
Totally painless and a minor inconvenience, understandable in the light of things.
Violating people's rights is not painless, a mere inconvenience, or understandable. In what way could that ever be understandable? Freedom is more important than security, sheep.
I don't understand why the lunatic fringe of Slashdot treats this short procedure as some unconscionable violation of basic human rights.
Because it's a blatant, egregious violation of the US constitution. In no free country should the government harass people and violate their privacy/rights in order to check if they're innocent.
The length of time spent doing something illegal shouldn't absolve guilt that it was illegal in the first place.
No, it doesn't, but no one was saying it did. Read the comments. They're saying the punishment was too harsh.
The length of time may contribute to the amount of damage done (if any), and so should be considered in cases like this.
Because all crimes are the same. You're an imbecile for even bringing that up.
The fines are not used for restitution nor are they intended to be used for restitution. Fines are part of the punishment.
It doesn't matter. People are saying the punishment doesn't fit the crime. Maybe you should actually read people's posts, you insolent bootlicker.
It's not my idea, it is how it currently works.
I don't care.
Don't participate in an illegal conspiracy if you don't want to get caught and penalized.
That has nothing to do with this.
Maybe this will serve as a lesson to someone else
Not only does that Tough On Crime nonsense not work (as we've already seen with copyright infringement), but it doesn't matter if it did work; justice is more important than security. Period.
Case law sits at odds with that.
I don't care what case law sits at odds with.
If the risk for committing a grave offense is too low, then the penalty when caught usually rises.
As I said, justice > security, just like freedom > security. I'm opposed to the TSA, just as I'm opposed to this garbage of punishing someone more severely merely because it's difficult to catch people who do that crime.
Again, I don't think there was ever a point when America was some bastion of freedom. The government has always been violating people's rights and the constitution. It's not a matter of perfection, either; the violations have always been egregious.
On the other hand, over thousands of people and many years the overall theft adds up to a lot if left unchecked.
Again, that's ridiculous. You shouldn't punish someone severely to make an example out of them; the punishment should fit the crime. The end.
This is not an attitude I'd expect from the "land of the free and the home of the brave."
Imagine if everytime you went to the store, you took a nickel out of the till. Now imagine everyone doing the same thing. No one person is "stealing that much" but in aggregate, they are stealing the store into bankruptcy.
What does that have to do with this? Nothin'.
In short, STEALING is a crime, because it wrong
That makes no sense. What is moral is not always legal, and what is immoral is not always illegal. Stealing isn't necessarily a crime merely because it's wrong.
Nonsense. Did they catch him stealing more than 5 cents worth of electricity? No. You can't punish him for things he merely may have done; that's ridiculous and unjust.
I was thinking the same thing. Everyone loves electric cars so much that they naturally defend any fellow hippie driving one, when he's stealing electricity from the man (because, hey, electricity should be free, man--you know, like the air and shit).
I haven't seen a single indication that that's the attitude people here have.
