Exactly why we need anti-discrimination legislation in ADDITION to privacy protections
Anti-discrimination laws aren't working, right now. What makes you think they'll start working if we make discrimination much easier and much (really, very much) more profitable?
P.S.: I speak from the PoV of Spain; maybe in the states anti-discrimination laws really work and saying you're two month pregnant during a job interview wouldn't alter the result in the least.
Excuse me if this is a stupid question, I've not played with such toys.
It runs a browser and nothing else on top of a custom Linux build.
When it ways "and nothing else" does it mean "nothing else except the linux build, fully featured and usable to do whatever you need including changing the browser, upgrading using the toy to read documents in whatever format you download readers for, etc."?
A used to use drugs B had a horrible depression C has a fatal disease that kill them over the next 10 years D got an STD at a sex party
A - I'm not hiring drug addicts in my company. B - I'm not hiring him. He may have a depression during some important project. C - I'm not hiring him. What if he dies before finishing the project? D - I'm not hiring perverts in my company.
No, I don't think people will freely discuss their medical records.
(replace hiring with promoting for post interview discussion)
One of the problems with EHR is that it potentially follows you your entire life.
If information about your economic status, familiar situation, physical location, customs, etc. Usually becomes unreliable after some time. A leak on those informations slowly loses effect.
Medical information, however, is permanent in many cases. A single leak of a person's data can have fresh information for, literally, a lifetime.
The only thing we need to implement a fully encrypted internet is a reason to do so.
And then the real fun will come.
Fuckers.
More people should read "the art of war" and concentrate on the paragraph about not starting battles you're going to lose until they finally understood it's meaning.
A Wisconsin woman has claimed that General Motors has kept her from going back to school. She says she has called GM to request a bike instead however was talked out of it. Her current claim is that she was unaware that she couldn't drive.
No more negatives. I've recently gone back to film and hand processing. Yes it's a real pain but there is a distinctive film look that digital just doesn't create.
You just need the right algorithm.
There's no such thing as the impossible to digitalize color, or look, or feel. If a human being can distinguish digital from analog, there's a problem with the equipment or with the image treatment software.
The one I'm trying to remember is about a computer that tells stories so good that they have to send it to space away from humanity (for some reason). Then, when they want to shut it down they can't, because every time an astronaut goes near, he starts receiving the stories and they are so good that he can't bear to destroy the author/computer.

... or usenet or wherever todays kids get their moviez from...
Like... The movie theater?
Damn kids... With their money, and their popcorn and their watching movies released more than a month ago.
I've re-checked and it's all there.
Right between the emergency eggs and the emergency beer.
The movie name is, surprisingly enough, "Virus".
It would be much more newsworthy if it was a bacterial infection.
A warship-eating bacteria.
You could so do a Steven Seagal movie with that premise.
Yes. I did become a street fighter, after all.
No, wait, I didn't.
I wonder what game of my youth was about going to an office and working for hours and hours until my soul died.

Where exactly is child porn legal to host to the point where it is easier to filter the entire pipe rather than having the sites taken down?
1.- It's always easier to filter the entire pipe.
2.- Questioning the filter clearly indicates you must be a pedophile. Or a terrorist.
Or both. ... Somehow. .... Maybe you strap kiddy porn to your bombs, or something.
Impressive, a Godwin first post.
A one word Godwin first post.
And on topic.
Impressive indeed.
in reply to being challenged that this law and technology could be used to censor other content. She then went on to say:
"I can't know what wishes and plans future governments will develop."
In other words... MWAAAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!

Anyone who questions the IWF axiomatically likes kiddie porn, remember.
"Do you like kiddie porn?"
"Axiomatically? Yes"
hmm.
I'll keep with my usual response of "Why? Are you a terrorist?"
Once you --- ------- internet ------ it tends to -------- until it gets -- --- way --- ---- -------information.
What?

Had to correct it.
I'm sure somebody said that during the advent of the DVD.
Then that someone was quite uninformed, as the limits of human vision are quite well known and both DVD and BD are still far from reaching them.
Don't confuse marketing with science.

every time obama wipes his arse?
I certainly would like to know, if Obama wipes his arse with digital paper.
Indeed. That was the one.
Heavy machine guns!
Audit your neighbors' dodge skills.
That was Asimov's "Someday" i believe
Not the one I was talking about.

Or something like that.
Wasn't there a short story about a computer that created and told stories?
Maybe by Lem?
Not a happy ending. (Ha! My awful memory won't protect you from spoilers!)
Will you be here all week?
Should we tip the waitresses?
