Actually makes sense, Joker.
A bicycle helmet can save your life.
If you crash badly enough on a motorcycle that a helmet might save your life, you'll probably end up in a wheelchair for the rest of your life - better off dead, then.

But sitting in a wheelchair, it's probable that I'd still be able to do coding, so I'd better be alive to prove that :tellme:

In the UK cybersquatting is now illegal - why can't the US do the same with .com domains?

Because we have an apparent aversion to sensible legislation. Here is an example using Florida law:
1. Seatbelts are mandatory, and the cops can now even pull you over just for a seatbelt infraction.
2. Motorcycle helmets are optional (which isn't bad in and of itself, but...).
3. Bicycle helmets are (by law) mandatory...
Now these three laws make sense when viewed together how?

That's because (people being people) are only for the passage of laws that don't apply to them.
We want laws to make people stop doing certain things; or to force them to do things they don't want to do. But we also oppose any law that tries to do the same to us.
That's why you have people screaming for keeping the government out of it when it comes to things like music/video filesharing, wikileaks, and adult content - but demanding government regulation for cybersquatting and ISP/Telco restrictions on the so-called "free" Internet.
Can't have it both ways. US Lawmakers don't understand the concept of granularity. The only way they can paint a room is by using a firehose. 8)

If it's a powered wheelchair you may have to wear a helmet. :(
