Britain's Conservatives Scrub Speeches from the Internet
An anonymous reader writes news of an attempt to erase a bit of history. From the article: "The Conservative Party have attempted to delete all their speeches and press releases online from the past 10 years, including one in which David Cameron promises to use the Internet to make politicians 'more accountable'. The Tory party have deleted the backlog of speeches from the main website and the Internet Archive — which aims to make a permanent record of websites and their content — between 2000 and May 2010."
Make sure you mean what you say. Tea party != libertarians for years now, so if you meant the libertarians, you're wrong because they would never support government coverups. Unfortunately the leftist lamestream media has the tendency to paint the tea party and libertarians with the same brush as an ad hominem attack on the latter. Gotta keep that control over the narrative after all.
No one said anything about libertarians, but your defensiveness and usage of the phrase "leftist lamestream media" does tell me that you're a fucking moron. Like all libertarians, Libertarians, and Tea Partiers.

IPv6 users are laughing at your dumb ass right now. Can your idiot ass guess why?
Thank god I don't have you as my network admin. Fuck, my company would have been dead long ago with an idiot like you behind the wheel. You're the kind of moron that thinks a TI 99/4A would make for a good switch or router.
Still waiting on Serviscope_minor to wake up to fucking reality and realize that Jessica Price isn't going to fuck him.
"Robots.txt is not DRM"
IT IS THE VERY FUCKING ESSENCE OF DRM YOU TOTAL FUCKING MORON.
DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT. Do you understand what any of those three words mean, either singly or as a whole phrase? If you did, then you'd understand that robots.txt fits the fucking bill 100%
Robots.txt is essentially a 'you may trawl, link to, and archive/copy this digital information' or 'you may not trawl, link to, and/or archive/copy this digital information' It is raw DRM in its most uncensored (pun intended) form.
Jesus Christ you're stupid.
