File-sharing and AOL
Andrew Leonard writes "Farhad Manjoo's cover story in Salon today, on AOL's refusal to take a stand on the RIAA's (so far) successful attempt to get subscriber information from Verizon, is a detailed look at the most important battle in the file-sharing world right now."

You know... Marijuana smoking (although, if you had any clue, the ad the was for cocaine and heroin not marijuana) as well as the use of other drugs does indeed support terrorism. It has nothing to do with deviant activity. It's a simple question of economics: until the fall of the Taliban (and arguably still so), Afghanistan was one of the world's largest opium (aka Heroin) producers (talk about the "war on drugs.") As for cocaine, well, that money goes to support Columbian rebels -- who rape, pillage, bomb, and perform other acts of terrorism all over that country. Everywhere in the world, drug money goes to supporting groups that spread violence against basically innocent people -- whether they be leaders in cities (such as Bogota), the rural poor (in Columbia), or women in Afgahnistan. Normally I don't respond to trolls, but this post is an affront to my very sense I human decency. Get a clue man.
Sex can be dangerous, especially when it involves toys. Wearing a three-foot, five-pound "double dong" around his neck, Todd Wonders, a representative from Dvdadultempire.com, advised students to start small when it comes to anal penetration.
"If you've never put anything in your ass before, you don't want to start with this," Wonders said, gesturing to the two gigantic members hanging from his shoulders.
"Sex Toys 101," sponsored by Rainbow Alliance as part of World Aids Week, sought to inform students of some of the dangers of sex toys. Wonders, along with co-worker Lauren Calloway, informed students about the different kinds of sex toys and how to use them safely.
"It's hard to get this kind of information out there because no one likes to talk about how they play with sex toys," Calloway said, waving a lengthy black dildo in the air. "Also, this stuff isn't regulated by the FDA, so it's really easy to buy a faulty product."
According to Calloway the most common type of dildo is basic rubber.
"This is the type of dildo your grandmother used," she said. "It's cheap and it's flexible."
Used without condoms, common rubber dildos can deteriorate rapidly. Calloway recommends using the new gelatinous dildos in their place. Made with PVC rubber, the jelly dildos come in a variety of colors and are relatively cheap.
According to Calloway the best kind of dildo to use is one made out of silicone.
"You can hand it down from generation to generation," she said. "And it's dishwasher safe."
Silicone tends to warm up to body temperature with use, Calloway said, plus it's very flexible and transmits vibrations well. According to Calloway, they are also ideal for anal penetration as they are flared out at the bottom and cannot get lost in the rectum.
Most importantly, Calloway said, it is especially dangerous to share sex toys. If sharing is necessary, a condom must be used. Silicone based toys can be sterilized with boiling water or can be put in the dishwasher.
"Wash the stuff and keep it clean," Wonders said. "Don't use it, toss it under your bed and then use it again later."
Wonders talked extensively about anal penetration. According to him, the most appropriate object for beginners to place in their anus is a finger -- preferably their own.
"If you're really inexperienced with anything anal, start small," Wonders said. "Also, you can never use enough lube, especially when it comes to putting things in your ass."
Wonders and Calloway passed around other sex toys including anal beads and "the cock ring." The two stressed the most important thing to look for when shopping for anal beads -- which are inserted, then pulled from the anus -- is a retrieval ring.
"You don't want to shove something in your ass that doesn't have a retrieval ring," Wonders said. "Otherwise, your ass will swallow it."
Wonders passed around a toy called "the gerbil," a wand-style vibrator with a gerbil's face on the end. Wonders said the toy is ideal for anal pleasure as the handle insured that the "gerbil" would not get lost in the rectum.
Lastly, the two discussed the different types of lubricants. According to Calloway there are two main types, water-based and silicon-based. The water-based lubes come in a variety of flavors, while the main appeal of the silicon-based is that they stay slippery in water.
Many students turned out for the event, most of them curious about the different kids of sex toys.
"I'm very interested in sex toys," said freshman Crystal Sickles. "I've never experienced any type of sex toy, so I wanted to come and try it out."
Above all, Calloway and Wonders stressed the importance of safe sex. Because this event was a part of World Aids Week, they urged students to know the sexual history of their partner and to always use some sort of protection -- even when it comes to sex toys.
Apple is generally marketed toward homosexuals, correct? Most Apple users happen to be of that choice, so is it Apple's marketing or what? I don't understand why Apple has a higher number of homosexual users than Dell, for example.
Thank you RIAA, now I can trace everyone on slashdot just by claiming they infringed on copyright, of course theres no proof required, i just have to claim you are a copyright infringer and I have your address to send my hitmen to.
Thank you RIAA for making my job as a serial killer/hitman much much easier and I will dedicate my next victim to you hilary rosen! I know you are reading this.
If you use Linux, please help development of Autopac
until the fall of the Taliban (and arguably still so), Afghanistan was one of the world's largest opium (aka Heroin) producers
except that during the reign of the Taliban the opium production in Afghanistan basically stopped. It wasn't until we drove the Taliban out that the drugs started flowing again.
Nice try though.
Anyone else notice the guy was sharing 666 songs? Not in the evil sense either. I mean that 600 shared songs is pretty slim, and if that's what RIAA calls a heavy user/high profile case, half P2P users should be in way more trouble than this poor guy.
