does this seem a bit cruel and unusual? i mean he deserves to pay a fair penalty, but the provisions of his probation seem a bit rediculous.
if someone is caught with drugs, are they forbidden from allies or parts of the city that are "known for drugs"? if someone is caught shoplifting are they banned from all retaillers for X years?

how many of us slashdotters were in trouble as kids. how many of us pulled girls' hair and got into fights, said stupid remarks back to the teachers, and so on.
while i never did anything so destructive as to damage someone or something too much, there were probably some teachers that would have loved to throw a red flag on my as vengence for a cut down i made during class. what implications might this red flag have? could one teacher's irresponsibility destroy a student's future (or even simply make them jump through hoops when they graduate or buy a cell phone or get a credit card)?
there won't be a shift away from windows as long as Best Buy and Dell sell windows machines. if they started selling linux machines, they would sell. loads of consumers don't even know that their computer is running (and they don't care either).
as long as these companies start selling vista machines, consumers will buy them. when vista comes out, typical consumers aren't going to rush out and buy it. they will get it when they get a new computer.
wow i forgot about fileplanet from the time i installed steam to the time i read your comment just now. i'm so glad fileplanet's business model has been destroyed.
