 | reply to cobo6 Our legal system is setup to run over anybody without the financial means to really put up a good fight. I think its a poor excuse for justice. I'm glad sombody saw the folly so the lady gets another chance. Hopefully the courts dont screw up again. That porn spam is really bad news trying to close it. And there is no law that says computer dingbats have to go to prison. |

Re: 40 years for looking at porn said by Anomus :
That porn spam is really bad news trying to close it. Yeah, I have seen that mess of a problem before. A customers computer had it, and if you closed the ad, 3 more came popped up, and of those 3, closing those will generate more. So cleaning up and closing the ad makes the problem worse. I have sided with the substitute on this one even after the court ruled her guilty. I hope she wins.
But then again, this might be an attempt by the courts to discourage stupid people from getting computers. Since she's a substitute this wouldn't be her computer, so she shouldn't goto jail, unless they determine the spyware/popup software was installed by her without a shadow of a doubt. But I DO agree that the justice system should make "computer illiterate" a crime to a certain degree, because a computer is a valuable tool that should not be used unless you have at least basic knowledge about spyware and firewalls. I think if you don't know how to install your O/S from scratch or install hardware, then you shouldn't have one without a class or tutor. But that'll never be the case. |

Re: Average citizen... Well Paris Hilton could have killed many people for what she did. She got 3 days in a cell and a month of house arrest.

Re: 40 years for looking at porn Paris only got 3.5 days only because people think she's hot, & female. If she was ugly then she would probably still be serving the 40 days. |

They saw a little bit of porn - most likely unintentionally. Get over it.
And they're seventh graders. It's nothing they won't be downloading themselves within a year.
I think she has a very good chance, seeing as how I'd bet at least some of the jury members have had this same problem. |

Re: 40 years for looking at porn I read what happen the the lady, forty years for something she could have done little about. If she had been running FireFox it would never have happened. I remember once I got into a porn page and in seconds it dumped over 20 pages on me and every time I closed down one 5 or 6 more would pop up. This was with a earlier version of explorer. This is what got me to try Firefox and have been using it every since. Semebody was looking for votes in the next election. -- Remember safe sex does not prevent crabs. |

Re: Average citizen... actually the US justice system is one of the harshest systems among other developed economies. It's true that celeberties do get a break here, but in Europe they might not have been penalized at all (because of their status). Other than that - we have a very "punishing" system. In Europe, convicts get lesser penalties. -- Cogito ergo sum |

| reply to Mike said by Mike:This person on an insecure government computer showed tittes to tots. so what does that do to them exactly? Make them hungry? I'm not sure showing breasts to someone who thinks of them as a food source is doing anything. If the kids had hit puberty that would be something else. |

 | reply to Kindguy98 I do not know where you get that info, in europen some country when you are giving 30 years you will do 30 years no parole is not the same case in usa. |

Re: 40 years for looking at porn Actually most in Paris Hilton's situation gets 5 days unless you have an accident. Driving offenses in California is really the problem. There aren't many penalties.
