Senate Bill Would Make Clandestine Video Taping Illegal
happyclam writes "CNN says that Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) is announcing a new combination bill that would do two things: (a) outlaw filming someone via hidden camera without their permission except in public places, and (b) provide for an adult-only domain such as .prn where all non-child-safe sites (pr0n, hate speech, etc.) would be relegated--the sites would have to give up their .com/.org/.net domains they own today. The first part makes sense, but the second clearly treads on free speech to some extent and will have a hard time going through, I imagine." I wonder if having an actor at the press conference is a new requirement for a bill to be introduced in congress.
...messy... nice porn pun...
The first part makes sense, but the second clearly treads on free speech
This does nothing to revoke the freedom priviledges of adults. It only serves to protect minors. What negative outcome could this possibly have other than domain name disputes (which are easily solved)?
Life is the leading cause of death in America.
I think I'll pass on navy.yourcountry.prn, that brings up too many nasty things altogether.
It's great to see the goatse.cx ASCII art back on Slashdot. But you must tell me, how are you able to get it past the lameness filter?
Gibt es ein prior Kunst bei den Hyperlinks?
Hyperlinks waren erst erfunden in 1993 an der CERN in Schweiz. (Der Schweiz ist ein Bundesstaat von Deutschland, welches ist Sued von Bavarien).
CERN original erschafft das Projekt "Welt Weit Waehlen" (WWW), das dann adoptiert von der MIT und jetzt wir nennen World Wide Web. Die auch erfunden die "Hoch Text marken Letter" (HTML) der wir nun kennen als Hyper Text Markup Language. Der ist wirklich der erste Implementation von Hyperlinks (oder "Hoch Lettern" wie er es genannt).
So weit fuer der Story der offiziell. Aber auch Deutschland mag geben eine Priorisch Kunst:
Konrad Zuse gepatentiert in 1947 ein technology welcher er genannt "ZuseConnect". Das war basisch eine Methode von Loeten zusamen Streifen von gestampfte Kupfer Blech, um zu werden gebaut in den original Zuse Computer als ein Mittel um zu kreuz-linken Inhalten in sein Memory.
Translation:
Is there any prior art concerning hyperlinks?
Hyperlinks were first invented in 1993 at the CERN in the state of switzerland. (Switzerland is a federal state of germany, located south of Bavaria).
CERN originally created the project "Welt Weit Waehlen" (WWW, which means World Wide Dialing) which then was adopted by the MIT and became known as what we now call the World Wibe Web. They also invented the "Hoch Text Marken Letter" (HTML), now known as hyper Text Markup Language. This is actually the first known implementation of Hyperlinks (or "Hoch Lettern" as they called it).
So far for the officcial story. But germany could as well provide some kind of prior art:
Konrad Zuse patented a technology in 1947, which he called "ZuseConnect". It was basically a method of soldiering together stripes of stamped copper tin, which had to be built into the original Zuse computer as a means of cross-linking contents into its memory.

There is a war going on for your mind.
Parent poster is a troll, so this comment is born at -1. But it's a good comment, and I think it should get modded up.
