Gmail adds "mail goggles" to deter drunken e-mailing
Google has added a new feature to their gmail application, a setting that users can customize and that helps deter sending e-mails when under the influence. The "mail goggles" feature requires the user to answer some simple math questions before allowing him or her to send a message. The idea is that if the user's faculties are sufficient to permit answering math questions, the user is probably sober enough to know what he or she is doing.

Great idea. Maybe we can implement that feature in the next upgrade to this bored. With the right filters, people could be prevented from posting on a subject they know nothing about, at least until they sober up.
