Image Detecting Search Engines' Legal Fight Continues

Posted by timothy on from the mmmm-thumbnails dept.

Mr. steve points to this New York Times article about sites like ditto.com and the new google image-search engine, writing: "Search engines that corral images are raising Napsteresque copyright issues." Expect to see a lot more sites with prominent copying policies and "no-download" images, and trivial circumvention of both. If an image is part of your site's design, you wouldn't truly want to prevent downloads, would you? ;)

    I'm 29 years old male and a virgin. No, I'm not ugly or insane. I've been offered sex many times but I'm too shy to accept the offer. Why? Because of my age I'm already supposed to be experienced. A vicious circle.

      A freind of mine had a simular problem. He killed himself and is much happier now. Try it and let us know how it works out for you.

      Was your friend an illiterate moron like you, too? No wonder he killed himself.

      I bet you're a virgin too, but too ashamed to admit it -- even anonymously.

      You should play your "handicap" to your advantage.

      I've met several older women who are hot for male virgins. Obviously they don't want a relationship but I don't think that's your intent.

      So, hit on an older woman and play a shy virgin. I'm sure you'll get laid that way.

      Wrong. Older women want men who know what they're doing and who can give them multiple orgasms.

      some women like fucking male virgins and get off that way.

      yeah, it's a domination game but i don't think a 29 male virgin really cares.

      Well, based on that evidence you are illiterate.

    please tell me why he should kill himself?

    are you so MACHO that you think that anyone who doesn't lose his virginity at least at the immature age of 15 is a loser and doesn't deserve to live?

    you're a jock. not a geek. get out of here.

    Dear Need Directions,

    A penis goes into a vagina. Inside the vaginal opening are walls made up of soft tissue. This tissue tends to mold around a penis, fingers, tampons, or any other object that may be placed inside the vagina. The length of the vagina varies from woman to woman, and extends with arousal.

    When you mentioned the uvula, perhaps you meant the vulva, or outer genitals, which consists of the visible sexual organs: the tip of the clitoris, the clitoral hood, and the inner and outer lips. As for what you're "hitting," it could be your girlfriend's cervix, which hasn't yet changed position. When she's aroused enough, her cervix will have moved out of the way, and her wetness will make sex more comfortable. For more information about the anatomy and physiology of sexual and reproductive organs, look at a basic human sexuality text in your local bookstore. The graphics may make it more clear.

    In reference to your girlfriend mentioning that intercourse was painful, read Alice's answers to Painful intercourse, Painful sex, and Sore sex?. If you still have more questions, at Columbia, make an appointment at Women's Health by calling x4-2284. Outside of Columbia, make an appointment with your girlfriend's family health care provider or gynecologist.
