If You Are Reading This in Florida, You are Breaking the Law

Because Florida just outlawed the use of all networked devices that could be used to play a game of chance. Not "is" used, "could be" used. And since you could visit a gambling website on any networked computer or smartphone, you're breaking the law if you use one.

That'll put a real crimp into all of the libraries that used web-based catalogs. Schools can forget about distance learning, employees can forget about telecommuting. All of the cable companies should shut off Internet access to everyone, lest they facilitate gambling.

Good old Florida, even the legislature in Texas is looking at them and saying: "Guys, really?"

  2. Of course this means all computers in state government offices, police departments, fire departments, the DMV and so on... gone. Back to paper and pencil for all of them.

    Right?
