I'm sick of political pond scum using Child issues as an excuse for everything, when it's a excuse for nothing. The biggest danger we face is pissing away our freedom, in the face of moral panic non-existent bogeymen.
The problem is systemic. Those broken family values extend and permeate the school and university system, meaning that Chinese children spend the most important phase of their lives in a fucking bizzaro wonderland. I know because I've worked there. A small minority come though that system as free-thinking individuals and my heart goes out to them. I hope they moved abroad by now.
Anyway, back to broken family values. Guess what the Chinese masses use as the main excuse of racism and feelings of superiority over Americans/Westerners... Superior family values. They believe that confucian family values are superior, No matter how fucked up, so long as they are strongly hierarchical.
The proper way to resolve this, is to repel the DMCA, and enshrine in law, people's right to circumvent access control when no copyright infringement takes place.
The ads might be text-only, but they are rendered with reams and reams of Javascript, which I have blocked. However targeted an ad is, it's by definition not what I'm looking for because it's an ad.
As a Windows vs "All the others" thread progresses, someone will eventually make the statement that Mac OS or Linux would be equally affected if they had dominant market share. I'd be more inclined to separate OS into "Administrator by default" and "User level account by default". That means Microsoft's latest offerings get grouped with Mac OS and Linux because they have made pretty decent improvements.
When I used to run XP, I ran as Admin. I shouldn't have, but that is just the way that system was designed, unless you really really fight against it. I would postulate that this black and white thinking isn't the answer. More secure OS out of the box is going to reduce the problem to some extent, even though some users will shoot themselves in the foot, as they always have.
You're in a minority group, mostly consisting of/.ers The market has spoken, and it wants maximum fr33 st00f pl0x, subsidised by wasting time viewing ads.
You have time, can cut a pizza exactly with only a pizza compass, and pizza ruler. These days people usually use a laser pizza cutter with olive and anchovy image recognition.
"Revolution for the people" is irrelevant. Single party systems inevitably lead to human rights abuse. The message that such concentrated power is for the benefit of "the people" is pure propaganda.

I'll just leave this here. Although the URL isn't currently valid, it will be once ipv6 rolls out.
Typical entry level government job.
The aim is to hack your way to the top, where you have all the authority and no responsibility.
Well said anon. Fuck the Children.

Bad analogy.
Salt lakes tend to evaporate and increase salinity. You're saying the porn with become more concentrated!

It's a common myth that the Chinese are mostly atheists. The vast majority are actually monotheistic.
They believe in their preternatural and divine creators; the state.
Hopefully a non-violent one?
Too late mate. Social unrest in China is ONLY growing. Remember that all rights are won on the battle field.

9" was the sweet spot for me.
My netbook has the feel of a book, which is something I feel comfortable carrying.
I don't know if Asus are still making 9" models, but they have dried up completely in the UK.
No. Reminds me of QR Codes which are very common in Japan, as most phones can read them, and extract some info like a URL.
Wishful thinking. I have yet to see a backlash against proposed or actual censorship, even in countries that have a strong freedom of speech culture.
This little blip will not bring down Musso^H^H^HBerlusconi.
If you zoom in a bit, there is a women in that photo who is naked, all except a red and white striped bikini top.
What if I already wasn't worried about being sued because my country doesn't recognise software patents
I guessed twitter was pointless, but like a celibate monk, I always wondered, "am I missing out on something?"
A quick wiki lookup got me this graph: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/76/Content_of_Tweets_Graphed.png
Now I see that by not using twitter, I am missing out on:
80% pointless babble
8% Chain letters
12% Spam

Under my ad-blocker, all are equal.

Although many of these mutations will be harmless, some will trigger cancer
And some will give you super powers.
Apparently it was cool in the 60s. That's what everyone says, but I missed it.
You expect too much from Democracy.
The UK, America and Australia, seem to be dead set on burying themselves under censorship and screwed up IP laws.
If China decides one day, that it can have social stability without the censorship, I fear we (Western civilization) are going to get pwned.

How fucking dare anyone out there make fun of Australia after all it has been through!
Leave Australia alone! Right now! I mean it!
