Constitutional comprehension fail. Freedom of the press is one more specific form of the general freedom of speech defined in the first amendment. It's also the same freedom used by talk show hosts, making this an incredibly apt analogy.
But, according to the various telecommunications acts passed over the years, if they become aware of criminal activities (such as child pornography trafficking) while they're inspecting your email, they're supposed to report it to "the authorities". And they (just like any ISP) are allowed to inspect *any* emails passing through their systems for purposes of performance monitoring and whatnot.
Well, the company owns your company email. So, ignoring a couple of idiot friends who inexplicably use their corporate email for personal purposes, they *all* use an Internet Service Provider for email, by definition. The Internet Service which is Provider-ed is "email," in that case. In fact, I provide my own email services - which makes me a small-scale ISP according to the law.
Not coincidentally, most people are idiots. So, any time you feel compelled to point out that a device is "dangerous" because a lot of people hurt themselves with it, remember to take into account the common thread tying "most" accidents together.
And also try to remember that those stats don't necessarily count the number of criminals who run away without being shot; "crimes prevented" and "crimes prevented because the bad guy was lying in a pool of blood" are not directly interchangeable.;)
So, the public reads the newspaper and watches the news. Then they learn that Wikileaks caused a bunch of trouble, that the main guy is on trial for rape, and people who like Wikileaks are a bunch of dicks who impotently attack anyone who disagrees with them.

I hate[d] NeXT's Unix implementation and NetInfo; the interface was the best part, but I'm a CLI and config file guy. And putting/sbin's binaries in/etc makes me cringe.
Besides, source code and continuous innovation is cool; NeXT was honestly pretty stagnant - outside of the whole "graphical web browser was invented here" thing...;)
Using the apostrophe incorrectly means something different. It's not pedantic adherence to "arbitrary rules", it's like interchanging metric and english units. They are not the same thing. Motors' and Motor's are different. Similarly, if I tell you to drive 40 kilometers down Route 66 to get to my house and pick up a heck for 75 dollars, you'd be pissed if I actually lived 40 miles down Route 99 and you were really getting 75 cents.
But then I'd say "Meh, precision is stupid and outdated and I was in a hurry. Writing what you mean is for old people who are stuck 20 years in the past. You should just know what I mean when I throw random words and characters on the screen." And everything would be cool, and I'd start calling every woman "Tammy".
I used my Master Card today to show support of their actions. I might also write them a supportive letter to offset the actions of kids who probably don't even have credit cards.;)/disclaimer: I don't have a Master Card

You don't think that he's an idiot, and that's why he avoids buying advertised stuff? 'Cause, that's what the sentence appears to say, and it seems plausible.
So, you'd like some kind of WebDistributed Authoring and Versioning tool? I wonder if there's anything out there which would do this thing; a good name for it would be WebDAV. Why, they would even register http://www.webdav.org/ for information!;)
Seriously, this is the protocol Subversion uses if you use the apache module. It works well. And if you look for information on managing a web site with subversion, you'll likely find quite a few examples of doing exactly what you're asking for in later comments. I might have even written one of them about 8 years ago when I set up our web developers to do precisely what you asked for.;) If you're working on windows, look in to TortoiseSVN for client purposes (unless you're using a tool which already integrates with a versioning system of some sort).
They're pretty good at not lying, but the information is quite obviously being presented in a way so as to be most inflammatory to the specific audience. I'm gonna call that "full of shit" - it's not lying, but IMHO it's intentionally being deceptive.
I heard something on Beck a couple of weeks ago which I was pretty sure was flat out wrong, but all I remember is thinking "huh, he finally resorted to flat out lying" - I don't remember the topic. In any event, I just enjoy listening to the way they manage to twist any random event into something that either supports their view or opposes "the other" view. Being able to do that for a few hours straight is genuinely impressive. In fact, my wife just observed this evening (regarding this "Obama v/s technology" topic) that it'd probably be amazing what talk radio hosts could do if they could channel their creativity into something worthwhile rather than just using it to stir crap up.:)
Are you new to the Internet? Your ID's only slightly higher than mine, so I presume not - but just in case: This is *the* place for people who are totally batshit crazy to get a stage and get people to believe it. Put your email address up on a website anywhere, wait about six months, and then start reading *all* of your email. You'll get all sorts of junk that's obviously total crap to smart people, but which is only profitable because there/are/ idiots who believe anything they read. Talked to a kid recently about the Internet? They *are* the idiots who buy this crap; they have no distrust.
Obama was warning the students to be smart and not believe everything they read. I'm pretty sure it could be argued that he's my hero because he's personally trying to put an end to fake penis enlargement pills and 419 scams. That actually makes slightly more sense than the "OMG Obama just told us he's gonna shut down teh Interwebz" arguments that these empty-headed sheep keep repeating.
Or are you also going to claim that over 90% of the 10K emails I get every day is not, in fact, distracting spam? And claim that there aren't banner ads everywhere. And claim that everything on every blog online is 100% accurate?
Here's his speech in normal-person terms: "The Internet is at least 3/4 full of shit. Remember that guy who stood on the quad and shouted at anyone who would listen?

This bug is so important, that it's been in most all software for longer that many of its users have been alive without anyone noticing it. I'd call that a "minor" bug, and maybe a "stupid" bug - but certainly not "important."

You listen to a lot of talk radio, don't you?
Because the rest of the world learns English. We just start with English to begin with. ;)
If they can't communicate with their medical care givers, that number will quickly shrink to a number that's irrelevant. ;)

I logged in to mark you as a friend for the comment about precise and accurate language, but then I saw that you're already on the list. :)
