This is really obscure - it might take a couple of months, but I predict that this is at some point going to be noticed by creationists who will then read the summary (not the paper of course, just the summary) and proudly declare that this is where the water from the great flood disappeared to.
Without content inspection, all you have to filter on is DNS and IP. Not enough - without more information the filter will have to be either ineffectual or so overzealous as to hinder work.
Because the W3C/TBL way means only the DRM vendor need deal with multiple browser support. The operators of each website than don't have to be concerned with it, and can go back to worrying about codec patents.
And hardly a modern standard of human rights. Most of it can be summed up as 'The nobility demand the king stop oppressing their right to oppress the peasants.'
He didn't really endorse DRM. He said that DRM is inevitable - it's going to be used, one way or another. It'd be better to have an open-standard API with an 'insert proprietary blob here' section that would allow for cross-browser compatibility than to refuse to create the open standard and instead end up with a tangle of incompatible browser extensions.
If we can come up with a really good theory of subatomic particles, nuclear forces and the electromagnetic force then chemistry should just emerge from it. They already do, to a large extent - it's how simulated chemistry is done. Very much liked by biologists, as computers are cheaper than lab time.
That's why I stored all my old optical archive discs in light-tight steel cans. Didn't stop half of them failing. I used to burn each disc with 4GB of useful data and 400MB of PAR2 files for use in recovering the data once it inevitably started developing holes.
No, there is plenty of work being done by conservatives to prevent adults looking at pornography too. You just havn't noticed it because their efforts are utterly ineffectual.
For example, the FRC is perhaps the most influencial social-conservative pressure group in the US, and their policy on the matter is listed on their website: http://www.frc.org/pornography "Obscenity and child pornography are illegal and not protected by the First Amendment. They acquire no legal protection merely because they are sent over the Internet. Websites distributing this material from overseas can be prosecuted under extradition agreements, but the fact is that the overwhelming majority of hardcore Internet pornography is produced in the United States and should be prosecuted aggressively."
The current decline in anonyminity isn't driven by government. It's driven by corporate interests, for the sake of more efficient marketing and advertising.
Government and business interests can both oppress people, but in different ways and for different reasons. Sometimes they collude, and then we are screwed.
Oh, I'm a real copyright nazi on the music. The official excuse is that I am protecting the school from liability. The real reason is that I can't stand their taste in music. Rihanna, 50 Cent, Bieber, Drake... ugh.
I let them keep the Macklemore for a while - it's nice to see a rapper who can sing about something over than his vast wealth, hareem of women and history of violent crime. But eventually I had to get rid of that, lest they get suspicious there might be some unfairness in my deletion.
The Friendship is Magic remixes, though, may stay.
If by 'integrity' you mean 'willingness to lose my job and be blacklisted from ever working in the education sector again.' My princibles have a value, and that value is less than the difference in salery between my current position and unemployment benefits.
School really has three purposes now: 1. To teach knowledge. 2. To assess knowledge - it's no good being brillient in a field if you cannot produce the bit of paper that attests to that skill, as no employer is going to take your word for it. 3. To try to keep the little brats in an environment where they won't grow up to be criminals or a danger to society. That's the indoctrination part. Schools do a lot of that, though most of it well-intentioned.
Actually, most of the efforts to get around the filters have nothing to do with porn. Probably because you can't really enjoy porn in school. The main efforts of students are directed at locating music downloads and flash games.
School employees certainly are. I personally think that exposure to pornography is of very little harm - a few people show an addictive response, but that's no different from television. If I said that publically though, I'd lose my job. It's just something that school employees must never, ever say in public - at least in this country. Privately, there is much derision of the anti-sex brigade - but we know we must comply. Also, gives an excuse to delete all those pictures of Justin Bieber topless.
There's a reason a lot of porn utilises school settings. For most people, that was their environment when they first started to show an interest in sex, and so the setting for the first experiences and fantasies. Something like that leaves a lasting impact.

Catching up with your data might be more of a problem.

The fees will have been described to you in detail before you signed up. Somewhere in that fifty-page point-8-font contract you didn't read.

Many don't tolerate it - they just fail in all efforts to prohibit it.
And Afganistan, when 'they hate our freedoms' was commonly cited as a reason the Taliban were so hostile towards the US.
It's not an entirely inaccurate claim, but still a great oversimplification.

But you do filter it at your high schools.

With SSL intercept we can force safesearch on, but with the right terms some things still slip through.
Then it becomes Not My Problem.

I don't know about you, but I have never met a porn site I needed to use SSL on or https.
Google images. For most students, the first place they go in search of porn.
And even if the waiver holds up, you'd still have to deal with the media circus and damage to reputation.
One teacher. Thirty students. Alt-tab.
