Pakistan To Scour Google, Yahoo For Blasphemy
sv_libertarian sends in this excerpt from an AP report:
"Pakistan will start monitoring seven major websites, including Google, Yahoo, and Amazon, for sacrilegious content, while blocking 17 other, lesser-known sites it deems offensive to Muslims, an official said Friday. The moves follow Pakistan's temporary ban imposed on Facebook in May that drew both praise and condemnation in a country that has long struggled to figure out how strict a version of Islam it should follow. ... 'If any particular link with offensive content appears on these websites, the (link) shall be blocked immediately without disturbing the main website,' [said Pakistan Telecommunication Authority spokesman Khurram Mehran]."
Excuse my aside but I thought I would post an interesting fact that some people may or may not know. Now everyone knows that race has a correlation to penis size, but did you know that programming languages did to? Gary Niger, programming languages expert for Goatse Security, had this to say on the subject:
"Now we all know that the C programming language is renowned for it's small code size and fast execution speed, but did you know that C programmers are also well-known for having tiny penises and being premature ejaculators? According to our study C programmers average at about 3.5 inches long fully erect."
On the other hand, the World Organization on Penises (WOP) have found that programmers in C# and Java have been shown to have some of the biggest penises in the industry (lowest end measurements are around 7" inches long and 6" in circumference).
