No, this isn't what the title suggests (you prevs).

As some of you know, I work in the computer repair industry. An interesting article got dugg recently (I'll refer you to the digg article, cause the comments are way more interesting than the article).

Look! I managed to integrate both issues into one picture!!

Anyhow, apparently the Geek Squad found some child pornography on a customer's computer and turned it over to the police... resulting in this guy going to jail for a buncha years.

This of course brought a privacy issue to front. While everybody's happy that another murderer pedophile is off the streets... how safe is your data at Geek Squad?

As I don't work at Geek Squad, but instead a competitor, I'd love to blast Geek Squad here. But unfortunately, I feel I must let you all in on a secret. I don't look at my customer's data. It does sometimes smack me in the face though.

It's not uncommon for some interesting pictures to be on the background of the desktop, and often times in screen savers that inevitably come up during a virus scan. So hey, everybody, lay off the Geeks (this time). Sometimes this stuff just happens.

Anyway. This made me wonder a potentially sick question. What happens if a child is caught looking at child pornography? What would the law do here? Can you be a pedophile if you are child yourself?

And, yes, I called you a prev. Deal with it.

Stumble this article.

Sometimes they have really hot amateur pics, and sometimes I leave them a notepad file with good sites." the_legacy @ 10/12/07 "Hahaha, Im gonna leave this one alone. Dont want to bore you with my knowledge on children. But it would depend on the childs age" Login to comment...
