Some people are currently jailed or imprisoned in violation of their rights. Prison systems around the world are riddled with imperfections. In these cases, "jailbreak" is an eminently reasonable way to describe the act of regaining rights which have been denied. While it may be hyperbole to compare a locked-out communication device to unjust imprisonment, the analogy isn't particularly unfounded. Also, can we refrain from calling people morons (or f******g morons) on this list? It's nice to be civil if you can be. Regards, --dkg
