I still think the entire concept of a layman actually being able 
comprehend twenty five pages of dense legalese and click "I agree" 
actually having any clue what they just agreed to is absurd. But this is 
not unique to computing; how many times have you signed some piece of 
paper shoved at you? Do you actually spend two hours pouring over the 
details? Or do you just sign it? Typically the salesman gets very 
agressive if you attempt to read it before signing it.
