Fezmid Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2009/04/bosto...-are-suspicious * A BOSTON COLLEGE STUDENT'S COMPUTER, CELL PHONE, AND OTHER PROPERTY WERE SEIZED as part of an investigation into who sent an e-mail to a school mailing list identifying another student as gay. Not only is there no indication that any crime was committed, the support for the search warrant is at times laughable. Some of the supposedly suspicious activities listed include: the student being seen with "unknown laptop computers," which he "says" he was fixing for other students; the student uses multiple names to log on to his computer; and the student uses two different operating systems, including one that is not the "regular B.C. operating system" but instead has "a black screen with white font which he uses prompt commands on." Gotta say, this is why I donate money to EFF every year, so that they can fight crap like this. Apparently UNIX is a scary operating system to morons who don't know anything about technology. And (like they say), since when is identifying someone as gay a crime.....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 including one that is not the "regular B.C. operating system" but instead has "a black screen with white font which he uses prompt commands on." So what is using an unapproved color scheme these days? A class-C felony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
