Don't touch a law student's laptop

So I happened to come across this article while I was trawling the internet:

http://www.switched.com/2008/11/14/why-you-should-never-try-to-steal-a-law-students-laptop/?rss

Made me wonder, "What would happen if I snuck into every law schoolite's room just days before project submissions, stole their laptop and then flung it from the top of a very tall building?" Would I live to see the end of the day?

My point is, the amount of stress and anxiety that these institutions put on some students just can't be good for them. Imagine this, your laptop crashes on the night before the submission date, taking away every last word you painstakingly typed out. Yes, your life is in fact over as you watch the product of your hard work just vanish away into absolute nothingness in a matter of seconds.

Well, maybe you should have made an online backup of your work. But everyone knows that. Pfft.

Perhaps a very general observation but most o'these law buggers are aspiring techbies too. They wanna know it all, show it all, do it all. Oh, my pretty Ubuntu, Ibex,css bollocks...photoshop is more to us humble rags.pha

Most of them are. But I know some law students who cleaned their batteries hoping to get rid of viruses. So maybe technology isn't their forte maybe.
