[opensource-dev] 1.4 Showstopper: SNOW-799

[Dzonatas Sol]

Hi,

I had to think about what what untamed HTTP textures could do on the teen.

/. had this article to say today: 
http://yro.slashdot.org/story/10/08/06/150216/Child-Porn-As-a-Weapon


/"Want to get rid of your boss and move up to his position? Put kiddie 
porn on his computer then call the cops! This was the cunning plan 
envisaged by handyman Neil Weiner of east London after falling out with 
school caretaker Edward Thompson too many times. Thankfully, Weiner 
didn't cover his tracks quite well enough to avoid being found out

— earlier boasts about his plan to friends at a BBQ provided the police 
with enough evidence to arrest him for trying to pervert the course of 
justice. Frighteningly, however, between being charged with possession 
of indecent images and being exonerated, innocent (if 'grumpy') Thompson 
was abused and ostracized for eight months

by neighbors and colleagues. With computer forensics for police work 
often being performed by 'point 'n click'-trained, nearly-retired cops, 
or languishing in a 6-month queue for private sector firms to attend to 
it, the uncomfortable question is raised: how easily might this trick 
have succeeded if Weiner had been a little more intelligent about it?"


/Consider that I have known the internet completely untamed since a 
young age ...  where does it begin to start to be accepted as "virgin"?

Was it a contrite decision? Or, a luxury?

I look at the world as if I'm looking into a vanity mirror... you decide.
