Do you actually think that once the hash marks a file that the file is not actually viewed? i know people on/. can be considered, in general, as idiots but, really, this idiotic that it never once crossed your mind that the police, prosecutor, judge and jury might want a bit more evidence than "the corporation said it matched, maybe, but we never bothered to actually check what it was."
Sure there is. I am unfortunate enough to be acquainted with someone who was caught in possession of such images and he got a pretty lenient deal compared to the maximum penalty.
Well, I guess you have a fundamental disagreement with society in general. As in, society has decided that your right to speak your mind does not trump my right to not be lied about (as an example). Society has also agreed that it deems certain images to be so detrimental to society that free speech takes a backseat to them.
However, if you truly believe that free speech trumps all, you would have to be willing to accept that anyone could follow you around (in public spaces at least) telling everyone how many child porn images you have plastered on your walls and how many 8 year olds you have raped, slaughtered and eaten. You not not complain if someone repeatedly sent emails of all this to your employers. Remember, you said that free speech should reign above all so your only recourse would be to convince others that lies are being told about you. You cannot ask the courts or police to intervene to stop anything as that would be stifling free speech.
IOW, you don't have a problem with people knowing you are an idiot, you just don't want to be confronted about it and possibly have to admit that you are an idiot.
Not exactly how it went down in a case where I am unfortunate enough to know the possessor. That one happened almost exactly as you described it ought to happen.
Would that be the red scare where we knew who most of the offenders were because we were reading the Soviet embassy to Moscow traffic but couldn't make that fact public red scare?
How did we leap from not knowing what the pictures actually are to knowing society is done because the fact that the pictures were of the "kids taking a bath" variety?
You know, that following that logic to its end suggests that having any form of police, courts and even laws is a slippery slope we don't even want to contemplate.
"You can't be attracted to or have sex with 14 year-olds" WTF.
First, plenty of teenagers are attracted to people their own age; just because you were never attracted to anyone nor was anyone attracted to you during your junior high years does not mean it does not happen.
Second, plenty of people are attracted to kids that age. I just read about a case in my local, small town newspaper.
Third, there have been plenty of 14 year-olds getting pregnant so we either have a helluva lot of proof that the story of Jesus is plausible or you are full of shit.
" but nobody says that open source has to be an entirely altruistic affair." Heresy. Around here we seldom use OSS unless we are talking about World War II, we always use FOSS and nobody pays for anything because Star Trek.
I'm not sure I've ever seen someone brag about doing a poor job before.
And just when I posted above about wondering where all the comments about "just use stuff that doesn't really exist" were. It exists but not in commercial scale yet.
Give him credit for pointing something that actually does exist, even if it is only in a lab. I'm surprised we haven't had people talking about all the space-based solar arrays with microwave downlink as part of the grid.
A different page saying that the actual page has been blocked because of a request without including the information. In other words, they should let people know that something is being blocked instead of just making it disappear. Google should not be forced to perform Winston Smith's job.

Except society has decided that it is not morally wrong to do that.

Is that a society you are willing to live in?
Well, they start with the guy with the image and ask about where it came from, etc. It is called investigation and it has to start somewhere.
"that are still considered wrong by (almost) everybody;"
except on /. where it seems that most (according to the comments on this post) are very tolerant of it. Kind of a sad statement about this place.

Because the water table in that area is maintained by that lake and some toxins can transfer.
Did you thank your neighbors for subsidizing your ability to do this or do you simply laugh at them for being so gullible?
Most home owners would take your caution about carpenter ants as a how to on getting rid of harmful pests.

NYT version of actual research: Did Obama issue it? Yes, must be true.
One day per week? My company gives us two days.
So the corporations were controlling Hitler? Go read a history book!
AC complaining about someone posting as AC. I'd say it is time for -2 IDIOT moderation to put these people in their places.

Or no sound. It depends on which features get combined.
