The Boozeboard

A keyboard with a built in breathalyser to prevent people (like me) posting rubbish when they're drunk

This morning I woke up with a headache and the horrible realisation that I'd almust certainly offended someone, somewhere on the web.

A keyboard with a breath alcohol level tester built in could work three ways.

1 - Stops working completely until your alcohol level falls below a predetermined point.

2 - Randomly mixes up what you're typing so that you think you're more drunk than you are, and go to bed.

3 - Inserts a disclaimer into whatever you're typing ie "Please be aware that user: (your name here) is legally intoxicated whilst typing this message. The opinions expressed here are not neccessarily the opinions of (your name here) when sober, and as such should not be treated with any more than the contempt they deserve."

       A good idea, which is why we've had it before: see the Stupidity Blocker (link).

       Damn - and there I was thinking I was on to something (!) - on reading about the Stupidity Blocker, it seems that the problem is much more common than previously thought. Sorry everyone!
