You [i]really[/i] don't see the connection between banning porn and attempting to reduce the AIDS problem? No, you can't actually do the former while trying to do the latter.
The.xxx domain is not going to lead to freedom of choice, it will lead to censorship.
The spice girls google example is a lesson, teachers should not randomly type things into google in front of students, if they want kid-safe search results they need to use a kid-safe search engine. That is not just cause for censorship.
The answer is to stop catering to the moral objections of people who don't want to see things. Being offended by something doesn't actually mean someone else did something wrong that would justify orchestrating complex systems and requirements to suit peoples personal beliefs.
We’ve read some follow up discussion about support for more than the H.264 codec in IE9’s HTML5 video tag.
To be clear, users can install other codecs for use in Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center. For web browsers, developers can continue to offer plug-ins (using NPAPI or ActiveX; they are effectively equivalent in this scenario) so that webpages can play video using these codecs on Windows. For example, webpages will still be able to play VC-1 (Microsoft WMV) files in IE9. A key motivator for improving the codec support in Windows 7 was to reduce the need that end-users might have to download additional codecs. The security risks regarding downloadable codecs and associated malware are documented and significant. By building on H.264 for HTML5 video functionality, we provide a higher level of certainty regarding the security of this aspect of browsing and our web platform.

Everyone knows wallabies love to eat fiber
It's not an electrical grid, it's just a series of tubers.
It isn't even the first one that apple's built in "detection" looks for in downloaded files, this is the 4th or 5th i think.
You could do that with a sticker right now. Do you need a sticker?
Now i know what "Intel Inside" really meant. Bastards.
Might be better for little Timmy to plan on being a televangelist instead of a climatologist
according to a researchers who set up their very own adult sites for a new study.
Strictly for research purposes :)
Indeed, now whenever people say things like "well, that's just criminal!", i'll feel obligated to press the button.
Actually I feel obligated to press it anyway, because it's stupid, but i'll be looking for excuses.
Assholes are running around the country with laptops trying to see how much bandwidth they can eat up for testing purposes.
Actually more like "how to molest babby"

"Subject" people to porn. Right.

No they'll double it and say they're giving one to every monk in Thailand. One laptop per Lama.
Nothing in 4.0 will work in handsets earlier than the 3G because they won't be building 4.0 for those devices at all.
Actually OPs link is quite apt, in that it doesn't work :)
That was easy...
Yea, it says you can use other codecs by building a plugin.
What's the point of having a video tag and installing codecs if you have to build a plugin to make them work in web browsers?
If they wanted to say something about merely installing codecs and using them with the video tag, they wouldn't have mentioned plugins at all.
RTFA--they were hosting child pornography sites. That's a whole different animal from the usual porn.
Which animal is in your usual porn?
I can't think of anything else that would effect the geek community less than banning sex.
A giant shield to block the sun? There could be one deployed right now, i'd never know about it.

No they didn't, they said they would support ONLY h.264 no more than a few weeks ago, regardless of what the user had installed in the machine.
Baby steps.
