according to the article, the "pornography" at issue were all drawings, some under the "pedophilia" category and others under the "lolicon" category. All cartoon images, it seems, and all descriptive of the subject matter they're supposed to illustrate. It's an encyclopedia.
The problem is that there's a guy in jail for lolicon in the US so Sanger figured he could get Wikipedia in trouble by calling the FBI about it. I mean, can you believe this guy? "I’m going to sound really old fashioned, but I felt that it was my duty." Yeah right.
Perhaps this is a good sign for Web-based television, as it will move more users away from the single, locked down channel from the networks and to more diverse options less interested in extracting subscription fees (like YouTube)."
But this really is serious. Environmentalists have been warning about this for decades. How many belts must Jupiter lose before we all acknowledge the reality of Jovial warming?!
I hope every one of these companies reported these huge losses to their shareholders! I'm pretty sure the SEC is quite clear about this. Looks like we'll be seeing a massive drop in stock prices too once people sell off their stakes in these dying industries....
Maybe iPad sales are cutting into netbooks, maybe not. But what makes people think Apple can keep this up?
The MacBook Air looked like the granddaddy of netbooks, it was shiny and hot; and a year or two after its release, its just another expensive, light, and slow laptop for Mac users with too much cash.
Umm, that was the MacBook Air's market to begin with. It was always a niche device for those with more disposable income than most. The assumption was that you already had a computer and probably a laptop too. Nobody predicted the Macbook Air would change the face of computing.
The same is likely going to happen with iPads. Apple pushed the thing out the door quickly, but low-cost tablets have been in the pipeline for a couple of years, and you're likely going to see $200-$300 tablets with better specs than the iPad and no software restrictions this year.
Wow - I can't wait to login to the iTunes store on one of those $200 tablets and download my favorite apps!
First they came for the porn but I was not a wanker so I didn't say anything. Then they came for the cancer apps but I wasn't a smoker so I didn't do a thing.....
Political speech is at the core of the first amendment - it has higher protection than "parody," however defined. The main point of fair use is to make copyright law consistent with free speech, so your argument about their confusion doesn't hold water. And the legal distinction between satire and parody is specious. I realize that's the interpretation made by the courts currently but I think it will be amended when it is considered objectively. The point of protecting parody is to allow free speech, and political speech is at the core of that protection. It is not just to allow people to make fun of other art works -- that too is protected, but it is a screwed up interpretation of the law to determine that making fun of a song deserves more protection than using a song to make fun of a political candidate.
You want to show us we're suffering from internet addiction? Let's see a study showing that rats constantly post on slashdot even when doing so causes an electric shock.
The guy in the bear suit wasn't even Muhammed. As became clear in episode 201, it was fucking Santa Claus. So these idiots who posted the threat on the website were essentially upset because Santa Claus was represented in a bear suit that a bunch of redheads had been tricked into believing was Muhammed. Just wrong on so many levels.
And by the way, the idiots who posted the threat really are just idiots posting on a website, not representative even of jihadist Muslims much less of mainstream or even "hardline" Muslims.

You misspelled "torrents"
never before in human history has anyone gotten so drunk on so little power.
I take it you don't work at a University....
You found a way to make Slashdotters actually click through to the article. Now, if only you could find a way to make them read it.
Say it's a two girls one cup redirect instead?

If the guy wants us to take him seriously he should have claimed 51 zillion in losses.
According to the RIAA that's only a few hundred record albums. Hook them up with a few Pink Floyd box sets and call it even.

What do you mean it won't run those apps?
Don't be silly; the real problem with fat fingers is opening up the cans of food! That's what the ammunition is for.
2, Japan has much more old people than babies
I thought that was Korea?
Are you saying this story is a big Number Two?
Anyway, you're right, this stinks. This company is full of crap.
Finally I'm able to fill in the missing piece of my business plan that I've been working on for years:
1. collect poopy diapers
2. ???
3. Profit!
Hi - someone directed me here because they said you had some free crack?

Beer will get you through times of no internet better than internet will get you through times with no beer.
Just kidding. I need it or I'll die.
the most vocal evangelists on TV for every religious preference
How many religious preferences have TV evangelists??
I have/had a book written in the 1880's describing the failures of the priests
You got someone to write a book in the 1880s? Jesus Crap, you're old.
It's irrelevant anyway, since the video clearly shows that his claim was wrong.
No. No, it doesn't at all. Quite the opposite.
That sucks. I don't have that problem with any iPod I've used, including the touch -- not sure why it would be happening with the iphone.
Am I the only one who thinks Matt and Trey might be lying about this? It just seems like another hoax to me.
