Interesting, how would you prove a review is fake, written with no experience of the product?
Even more interesting is the question that is for example audiophile magazines have been known to do fake reviews sometimes (I guess the amount of proven cases is like 1 or something) how does that relate to this case?
Heh, you can block Youtube on exactly the same grounds as you block torrent sites, in fact you have stronger grounds since Google actually hosts the content. I wonder who needs to make the complaint to get a site blocked. Getting Youtube blocked would raise awaresness for sure.
You can do that today with regular books. I can understand the secret agent wibe in "microfilming" books at the library, but it's certainly no longer a simple Ctrl+C + Ctrl+V.
Plus if you would like to you could set it up to repeat automatically each month..and if you use the same bank the transfer is instant. At least in my bank.
From the article: "With Hollywood operating a fully-functioning, movie-making machine throughout the two World Wars, it wasnâ(TM)t until Asian cinema blasted onto movie screens in the 1950s that we saw really poignant non-English cinema."
The writer seems to have missed the influential pre-nazi German cinema industry that seriously challenged Hollywood in innovation and quality in the 20s and early 30s. Some of the stuff is still perfectly watchable today.
Still another point to make is the efficiency of distribution. Not many of those watts produced at the power plants actually make it to your wall outlet.
This is actually wrong, you can sign a written contract (with 2 witnesses!) that allows certain people (as specified by the contract) the right to access your personal mail. In our company its common that a person leaving the company signs a contract that allows their successor access to their e-mail for up to 6 months after they have left after which the mail account must be deleted by law anyway. The contract assumes that the person leaving has cleaned out everything they do not want to remain in the system (personal mails) and of course they don't have to sign the contract at all. In this case we at the IT dept. will simply shrug and tell people that we are sorry but we cannot grant access without a written contract that allows us to do so.
Reading someones mail without such a contract is a criminal offense that results in fines or imprisonment.

This article mentions some tool that can apparently differentiate between real and fake reviews: http://digitalmarketingmagazin...

Any election or referendum that ends with >95% of the votes for one option goes into the Kim Jong-Il category: http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/...
Bye bye Page Rank if you go that way..
That depends on which country you live in :)
Well if the child or its parents cannot be held responsible, then it must be classified as an accident and your insurance would pay for it?
They could send BP a bill of a few billion dollars and confiscate all their oil wells in the gulf if they refuse to pay?
Plus if you would like to you could set it up to repeat automatically each month..and if you use the same bank the transfer is instant. At least in my bank.
But those are supposedly voluntary?
You could still write your own backup tool and it would be legal - but only for you to use not to distribute.
Around 25% live in the capital (Helsinki) region, not 90%.
But one spot is still free isn't it? It could be you!

I thought that alleyway was more red than dark ... (shudder)
You forgot Windows ME! Nevermind please keep forgetting it in the future too.
I dare you to benchmark it against all pre-Windows 95 versions :)

I bet the artists have to pay the RIAA for selling their own records.
How exactly do you 'return' something that is in your memory?
You tell them what they are and then they change them.
Windows 3.x: AWESOME (for back then) Windows 95: REVOLUTIONARY (copy of apple)
OS/2 >>>> Windows back then.
It's called democracy. If no choice is removed from anyone then you have no use for laws (that is what laws do). That is called anarchy.
