While this does give a loophole to pedophiles, I think it is an acceptable risk. Just having a 'child porn' photo in you browser cache should not be enough evidence to charge you as a pedophile. I know here in the USA, even being charged with a 'child porn' related crime is devastating. It can ruin your career whether you are guilty or not. How many times have you had a unexpected pop up from porn site or virus/trojan infected site that displayed possibly illegal content. Also this helps the people who are interested in something else on a site but the site also happens to have under age material also. This is a important because what if some add banner shows some underage content. In the past, this could have been considered enough evidence.
The big thing here is that viewing (browser cache) doesn't necessarily prove intent.
You would not see a drop in subscribers, just a drop/change in services. The subscribers still need the internet pipe. For me, it is cheaper for me to keep the cheapest package of cable TV so I can get bundling discounts. I get a one the premium cable internet services packages (20MB down / 6 MB up [ Comcast New England area] ). If i just got the internet package it would cost me $75 before taxes. if i bundle the two, I can both for $68 before taxes. I really only use the TV to watch one show (Conan O'Brien). I could go without it too.
If the pricing was worth while, I would love to drop cable TV and used the reclaimed money on NetFlix,Hulu, etc... but the number just don't work now. Honestly, I think the cable companies bank on that. With this messed up pricing, they still keep the majority of their money versus it going to another service. This also slows adoption of streaming services.
I have dealt with SonicWall Aventail E-series quite a bit. I am very familiar with their system because my companies security products integrate with them(along with Cisco, Juniper, Fortigat, NetScaler,etc..) They are nice robust systems. Their VM version of their product even runs a modified version on Debian. I have heard that the old SonicWall hardware was more orientated to SMB and was not as flexible or feature rich.
I think Dell is smart to acquire SonicWall. It is a good rounding out Dell's networking product portfolio. This give them a good content filtering system and a SSL VPN product.
I agree with you. I hate being charged $40/month for downloading 200MB/month. I have a non-3G phone (Treo 680) I don't think I could get 5GB per a month if I ran it 24x5 if I tried. They don't offer tiered plans anymore. Their old tiered plans were SO out of sync of what reality was you had to get an "unlimited" plan in order to not to be raped by per MB charges. The wireless ISPs need to come up with a better tiered packages. Maybe something like $10/1GB flat rate so there is none of all that surprising exorbitant overage charges. You pay what you use. Also companies wouldn't mind you going over and people who have to use 3G/4G networks for tethering and heavy laptop use. Some people can only use laptop cards because their local utilities (i.e. cable/telco) don't provide services there. Please don't mention satellite as a VIABLE solution, for home internet usage.
Also patents have to be enforced by the companies that own them. If they do not the patent will be invalidated. The requirement for 'enforcement' is a bit vague thought.
I could see it making sense in certain situations. Cloud computing is a good example. If you some of your OS images are parsed across a few machines with only 20 percent usage and if you could devise a way to seamlessly migrate them to other machines so there is more OS image density per machine you could shut down some of the unnecessary capacity. You would obviously leave a few machines open for hot machines if there was a usage spike, but the rest could be shut down and be powered up when the hot spares start to used.
I can see why NASA didn't name it after Colbert. The name would be very culture/time specific. What happens in ten years when Colbert out of the public light and forgotten? I think the treadmill is a wonderful place for Colbert.
Also Serenity is a bit of a loaded name. What if the MPAA sued for copyright infringement of the name? While I think is wouldn't stick in the courts, it would bring some unwanted attention to NASA. Also with Obama's appointment of many RIAA lawyers.. I don't think it would end well for NASA or the public even if they won.
Many admins are oncall 24/7 and it was never in the job description. Ever have a screaming CEO/CTO calling at the wee hours of the morning because their crack-berry wasn't getting e-mail.
Come on, what the fsk is SNK worried about. Cammy from Street Fighter 2 Alpha very bouncy also and that was released how many years ago. Plus you had the fact that she looked like a over-developed 12 year old. That's close enough to pedophila in my book. Capcom still released it and nothing came of it. Plus most of these games are rated for teens anyway. Males,in general, of that age will look anything with breasts, bouncing or non-bouncing, large or small, and virtual or living.
I recieved the Special Edition of Akira and it is awesome. After watching many times on VHS or TV and now seeing it on DVD, you have no idea how much you are missing in the quaility of the art. Unfortunatly I still don't have a 5.1 surround sound system yet, but I believe that the sould quality is excellent too. The special edition comes with over 4,500 still of the movie, storyboards, character designs, etc.. One neat thing that is also has is the "Capsule Mode " This will give you background info while the movie is going on.
The game is stratigic, fast learning curve and is is there can be easily judged. While a game like StarCraft judges strategic abiltiy it, its ability on who won and why could be very subjective. Playing tetris in single player mode causes a very easy environment to judge.

Your mandated to be in schools. Your not mandated to pay attention.

Ok... which would you prefer.... Not being mugged at all or being catching the guy/gal after you have been mugged?
