what do any of the other posts down the thread have to do with blackberries?
There is a fine line between funny and offtopic, did i not meet your subjective standards?
Oh well:-)
Not really. Regulate the regulators.. That usually works well. Better we all run around with guns* and live in small tribal groups? I am throwing you in with the hippie.
they are public corperations, NY Gov, the last one WAS a criminal come on, i meant The NY Government not Governer.
or NGOs who's sole purpose is to help children; ha ha ha got some proof or are you just trying to look cool?
Not sure how this NGO is answerable to me.. not you, but another group of people

Question Mark key is left of the Shift key. TY
*note: i do own and advocate the use of fire-arms in self-defense.
If the NGOs made complains to the police and judges issued "block this site" orders in near-real-time, I don't think you would see the huge backlash.
Take out the judges, and it's a recipe for burning the constitution. I think you are right, it would probably go over a lot better. But who would then keep the list of the sites that need to be blocked, and then distribute it to ISPs?
NGO was probably the cheapest option for the NY Government, but i agree that its not the best.
ITYM because some guilty people may be found innocent. HTH, HAND.
aye, thank you.
Regardless, here's why you're wrong: Blocking child porn will be ineffective
Not sure, i have never tried nore seen evidence of anyone else really tryingm part of the reason i think these guys should have a chance.
Blocking child porn is treating the symptom, not the disease. Unless porn/child porn is an addition which brings it into the realm of drugs; expect cocaine, and other drugs can be made without exploiting children, and child porn really cant.
Thus this is handwaving bullshit designed to convince people that something is being done about child porn when in fact it is not. Probably but time will tell.
The base problem is that the way to stop child pornography, and rape, and all the other sex crime in the world (or at least, the percentage which can be prevented) is to create a healthy society, and that is not in the interests of the powers that be - it's an incompatible goal to that of milking every man, woman, and child for every available dollar. It's not just indifferent to the idea of a healthy society, but actually hostile to it; well-balanced people do not buy massive volumes of possessions which they don't need and will never use again, they don't willingly buy food which is non-nutritious, unhealthy or even downright toxic; they don't intentionally decide to purchase and burn fuels which pollute the environment in which they live. They do these things because they feel nervous, trapped, and helpless in spite of the fact that there clearly are alternatives to being a rat in the maze.
dude... really? Rape and some type of sex crimes have existed since the dawn of time, which would mean that to you, every society is unhealthy.
Which may be so, but its better than living at a hippie commune.
Call me a hippie if you like
I will from now on;-)
happiness isn't derived from getting what you want, but from knowing what you want - especially when you already have it (often the case) or when it's available without buying into the crapfest that we take for granted and refer to as "daily life". not sure how this relates... but i agree in theory
I love privacy, and i believe what BF said, "Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither."(wikipedia) But come on, anyone arguing that blocking child porn is a slippery slope is like saying we shouldnt have a court system because some people may be found innocent.
Wouldnt it make more sense to say, well, such a system would need to be heavily regulated to preserve liberty.
Wouldnt such an answer work in this case? The parties working together on this are not criminals, they are public corperations, NY Gov, or NGOs who's sole purpose is to help children; all of them answerable to the people (or a group of people). Wouldnt it be more productive and responsible to steer them in the right direction than to gripe about how they will surely screw it up without giving them a chance.
while a i completely agree with your assessment of the general user and the responsibility we should all take with everything we do. I do know, that from an IT perspective, both from the side of the help desk and the web application developer, it is a lot more effective to block it on the website end, though not cheaply, than at the user end exactly because of the societal and personal reasons you mention.
Its very one's job...
But shouldnt the webmasters be responsible for their content.
If an ISP can deep packet filter, and can be forced to by law, why cant a website be forced to filter content it displays, whether it comes from a CDN or other businesses.
Pushing this off to the user, is doomed to failure for the majority.
While i could never be president, as i am a naturalized citizen in the US, i have very strong opinions about what is needed from our government.
1. Immigration *Secure the borders - lets face it, having a country where anyone can get in illegally, is not safe or fun for the masses. We need to build a triple or double fence and arm our border patrol with the tools they need to secure the border, while putting pressure on mexico to take back their citizens and cut off the flow.
*Legalize the Worthy - there are by some estimates over 12 million illegals in this country, we cant get them all out, there is no way. It does no one any good, save for a few dirty businessmen, to have a sub-class of people. The mostly law abiding elements of the illegal population must be integrated into American society.
I propose we allow the heads of households or the single illegals to join the us military and serve a 6 to 8 year hitch to prove their loyalty. 6 to 8 years is a lot more service than some "Americans" will give for their country. Afterwords, the immediate families of those serving should be granted citizenship or at least a greencard with a pathway to citizenship.
*Deport the Criminals - Step up ICE enforcement to deport the remaining illegal element, and enforce current laws govern illegal aliens.
2. Economy *Jobs - There are huge segments of the population being left behind, mainly the industrial works, the men and women that built this country in the 20th century.
I propose a wealth of new public works projects to both provide jobs for our skilled workers and to strengthen this country's energy and agricultural independence. The projects should focus on:
Improving Refining Capacity
Building Nuclear Power Plants
Financing Bio-fuel infastructure
Rebuilding the nation's Military Machinery
*taxes - Simplify the tax code, much like Rudy Giuliani has recently stated, a simple teared tax 10% on first 40k, 15% on upto 160k or so, and 30% after that.
Science and Advancement - We must continue to be on the forefront of technology, i would invest extra funding in the advancement of Nano Technology, Bio Fuels, Cell research, and Space Exploration.
Information and Copyrights - Every few years we must re-examine ourselves to see if we can improve, this is more important as technology changes drastically. I believe we are in this case with the Internet and the wide availability of any information and Must Adapt. While i believe in net neutrality, I would urge congress to form a bi-partisan, independent commission of our greatest minds to figure out what policy would serve our country and our people the best. This is not the place for unilateral judgment, too much is at stake.
3. Foreign Policy
*Strength and Reliability - We must complete what we started and we cannot back down. Its that simple, the rest of the world will take anything else as weakness, courage, or impotence. Though we should also make sure that those ventures are economically viable, we bled for the oil fields of Iraq, and we should not be paying $100 dollars a barrel. The extra troops from the Immigration plan should help bolster our Armed Forces so we don't over-extend our military by doubling our presence in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Once our mission is complete there, we can talk about a draw down, and a stabalization of relations with Iran and Pakistan, though both of those countries should be on our "watch list".
4. Healthcare*Protecting The People - I would urge congress to create an independent committee to evaluate current regulations for the insurance companies and to make a recommendation on any legislation that would balance the profitability of these companies with the need of the American people. While i am not in favor of socialist policies, there must be a middle ground that can ensure that all people in this great nation have access to health care.
Now, if only i can get that constitution slightly altered so i could indeed run for president.
what about python? it can handle process forking and such to do uploads while displaying output to user... it can also handle all sorts of fun things... yumm...python. (and more importantly can run very efficiently on the same apache that runs php:D)
Radio Margaritaville shut down their web streams as well.

Though their Sirius station stayed on.
I called my congressman today, did you call yours? if not, call them tomorrow.
Oh iPhone, THE new shiny toy.
So sexy, flexy, and coy.
If only i knew all you could do,
will your unix core make your flexible? more
Will you have enough ram, and a fast CPU?
I expect so much, will my wishes come true?
for now good-bye, i'll see you on the 29th.
Even if its 60,000, its still doable. Especially if MS starts pressing. There are millions of OSS programmers out there and faced with MS taxation or fighting to discredit MS could be a great uniting cause in the OSS community. Its their ability to divide and conquer that we should be most worried about as most effectively issue needs to be handled with all hands on deck.
I am not 100% sure on US law, but in the article it says MS has been aware of this for over 3 years. Do they not lose their right to prosecute after being aware of an infringement for a "reasonable" time and not acting on it?
Thus giving implicit permission for the further use of this "patented" ip/code...

Just another term for lie when coming from a fanboy.

When a search for "php" does not list php.net http://www.cruxlux.com/q/php I find it hard to believe in their technology.
