The violent move industry is losing market share to the violent video game industry. The video game industry is not paying their hired scum politicians enough apparently.
I'm not sure how much luck the RIAA will have with those. Microsoft and SCO got together and tried to shutdown those particular torrents a few years back. It didn't work out so well.
I'm fairly sure one of the first things added to the list will be torrent indexes. No more TPB or ISOHunt for Australians. This is exactly what Australian media companies want: they used to have it good, they would hold over US shows and movies for rating windows and screw over viewers that just wanted to watch stuff current.
The big problem is, Australian media holds a lot of sway with the scum that is an Australian politician.
Of course you'll be able to access them in a round-about fashion. Maybe it will eventually become illegal to bypass the filter, call it hacking. Aussie freedom will go, china style.
That's rubbish, all governments cooperate on this stuff. There are no safe havens for kiddy porn merchants.
That's why they have these raids in the US and Australia for people accessing this stuff in these eastern-block countries. They get the actual credit card/IP details off the servers.
The people who do trade in this stuff go to great lengths to keep what they do secret - ie. It will never be on a government "list".
What will be on the list is tame stuff like torrent indexes and sites discussing bomb making.
Just as I don't think having my internet access slowed a bit to try to stop illegal content is a bad thing.
The trouble is it won't stop illegal content. If I *was* a pervert I will still be able to access illegal stuff via rapidshare, proxy servers, newsgroups, torrents, email, webservers not on the list, snailmail, any host on the internet.
It's not as if illegal stuff is advertised, the people involved go to great lengths to keep their stuff secret - so they don't go to jail.
If a site has been around long enough to get on the "list", international authorities will have had heaps of time to shut it down.
Countries cooperate when it comes to CP. There is no need for this.
The list of excluded sites used in testing includes sites like: "The Pirate Bay, demonoid, mininova, Erowid (the web's best known haven of drug info) and 4chan"
Australia's 3 commercial tv stations are struggling under the load of huge debts and poor revenue, time to throw them a bone I guess.
All of the PvE quests are easily soloable. The Public Quests are just available for anyone in the area and you don't have to be part of a group.
At end game, there will be some PvE style dungeons as well as PvP objectives.
With PvP, all of the objectives are out in the open, so you can just rock up to an existing fight and start hitting stuff - without asking for an invite.
On beta there have been some really big fights trying to capture Keeps that go on for hours - people on both sides coming and going.
I had a spare drive that I put in my computer. I thought I'd give truecrypt a try and encrypted the thing, being sure to create a strong password. Now a year or so later, I have nothing on the drive and completely forgot the passphrase. I don't care because there's nothing on the drive.
If I lived in the UK, I guess I could theoretically be imprisoned for not handing over my password.
Britain went through so many terrorist attacks via the IRA. Why do a couple of idiot doctors setting their cars on fire provoke this sort of response? Insane. Bring back thatcher!
Old web pages will not have a DOCTYPE. If they don't have a DOCTYPE, IE 8 will render them using quirks mode. They will work exactly the same.
As a Web Developer, by including a strict doctype at the top of your current IE6/7 page, you are promising to be standards compliant. You shouldn't be ignoring standards and at the same time promising to browsers that you comply with standards.
If your strict IE6/7 junk doesn't render in IE8, then how is it currently working with firefox/opera etc.
If a developer cares so little about other browsers or doing things correctly, they deserve to have to update hundreds or web pages.
Get comcast to block anyone using IP addresses on their network.
After all, according to comcast's logic, it would count as a valid network management procedure.
Titan has an atmosphere full of global warming gases. Eg. Methane. But, it's surface temperature is -290F. One can therefore conclude the "science" that "claims" these "gases" increase "global warming" is obviously green hippy bunk.
I know titan is in the outer solar system but that argument is more just green science spin.
Worse than that: Informers from the IFPI indicate that Sweden may be developing the knowledge to produce weapons of mass destruction. They're all stored somewhere in a closet in the pirate bay.
DRM is usually a pain for your customers. Some people like me buy stuff and try to use it and begin to really hate DRM. I hate DRM so much, I use linux at home. I'm willing to give up a decent OS just to be rid of DRM.
I'm sure your a nice person, I'm just trying to warn you: If you put your DRM junk in my app, I will download your source, and make it save without the DRM.
Then I will fork it and put it on sourceforge. If you're looking for it, it will be called the same with _free or _liberty on the end.
I will then spam your forums telling your customers that you are a liar and a thief and are using DRM to spy on your customers. Which is fairly accurate, you're putting DRM in their app you sound like a real bastard.
In Australia we've had caps since around when al gore invented the internet.
There's one dishonest company that is charging people 15c/megabyte for excess usage on a 200mbyte plan. There have been people with $20k internet bills.
Genetic issues are not confined to the animal. Cloning introduces many mutations, so many that most cloning efforts end up in non-viable organisms.
Messed up genes produce messed up proteins. We already have diseases such as CJD/Mad Cow that stem from animal proteins - not a virus or bacteria - just an abnormal protein. Mad cow became such a problem because bad animal proteins were distributed to populations through feed.
Just like the mad cow scandal, we won't find out until it's too late.
One day, cloned beef experiment #1123, put in a million big macs, will be found to have a protein that causes another incurable brain disease.
Dude, first of all the dot com bubble ended a few years ago - It has generally be accepted that things like mail order pet shops are just not viable. Don't you want to try on shoes first - damn sizes are always screwy and feet are different widths?
Secondly, you sit in you house waiting for deliveries? - how quaint - just like the milk vendor used to in the old days. Just go to the shop and pick stuff up, why is that so hard. With the time you save not sitting around for the delivery illegal alien, you could be out saving the forests or killing wild animals for sport.
Marketing and shopping is about the experience and atmosphere, buying stuff online is for cave dwellers stuck in a bygone era - the 90's.

No thanks. This is a fix from a strange company in a country that is not America. How can that be a good idea?

Actually, they would feel pressure to not raise prices. The end result would be that they would lay people off.
Um right, they would rather shutdown their business than charge customers 20 cents more.
They said the same thing about slavery - it will destroy industries. I'm sure you're fine with that too.
Hubble isn't malfunctioning, it has been turned around and now is looking in your backyard for terrerists. Wake up sheeple.

RvR (Realm vs Realm) is just PvP.
Each "side" (Order v Chaos) is called a realm. The idea is that one half of the server is fighting the other, not just player v player.
To accomplish this they have big server wide objectives, like capturing a Keep or destroying a city.
Having said that, it's more of a marketing line, it's really just PvP.

David better not release paper copies either.

They've been testing it by cutting some cables, right?

Thanks for your concern.
Here's an open source project that tried to put horrible banner ads in their app: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1877483&forum_id=618307
