My mind boggles at how very speculative that article about Star Trek and pedophilia is. Have they tried talking with the pedophiles?

Yes, I thought that. "Here is one surprising statistic. Now I will make stuff up for fourteen paragraphs."

The author of the article seems to have no understanding of the dynamics of 1960s action tv (Kirk was originally supposed to have a regular girlfriend - Janice Rand - but the studio preferred a conveyor belt) or to have considered that paedophiles have merchandise in their homes which might prove of interest to their victims.

The Fault Tolerant Heap is an idea that scares the bejesus out of me. Perhaps mostly because it's opt-out and you have to go to a fairly non-trivial length (registry hack) to disable it.

Wouldn't be so bad if:
* installing Visual Studio automatically disabled it,
* presence of a pdb would automatically disable it
* user had to click "I'd like this application to stop crashing, please." to enable it

Clearly something must be done about this: Star Trek should be banned.
