Jailed for using a nonstandard browser <quote> A Londonder made a tsnuami-relief donation using lynx -- a text-based browser used by the blind, Unix-users and others -- on Sun's Solaris operating system. The site-operator decided that this "unusual" event in the system log indicated a hack-attempt, and the police broke down the donor's door and arrested him. </quote> http://www.boingboing.net/2005/01/27/jailed_for_using_a_n.html
