Maybe I'm just sheltered, but I do not know what a 'yid' is. Please elaborate. Also, for everyone that is going to tell me something like 'look in the mirror', I will laugh for you in advance: . Ok, thanks.
I don't understand why they would choose Linux, or any other bloated POS operating system for this type of project. They are doing nothing with graphical display, or user interaction, etc. No funky peripherals. All they need is:
An ethernet driver
A simple networking layer
Standardized disk drivers for virtual memory and input/output set storage
These things are glorified calculators -- you don't need a 'real' OS -- just build on top of a simple embedded/RT systems OS! This would likely yield small performance gains and save on maintenance, setup and support costs. Of course, you would have to standardize on hardware, but if you're building the thing from scratch (as opposed to just clustering a bunch of PCs around the office/lab), then you probably would anyways.
Frankly I don't see what the big deal is. I applaud those who will look at porn while others can see the screen. More power to them. Sex is so taboo, I don't understand how our species survives.

However, most literate English speakers speak English.
Would you rather a Japanese corporation own the Genome, or an American corporation? Wow, that would make for a cool war...

The others are just ridiculous and silly, not so much stupid.
Mmmm... cheesy....
I'll keep that in mind next time your are attacked by an Crocodile... or a nest of wasps.
Technically, that's one link.

I watched a TV show where they interviewed Nintendo's head of IP/anti-counterfitting division... she was pretty cute.
Eh... to much Windows programming.

I agree, a central government database of registry pornography could be very...useful.

Man, your library sucks. At my library, we have a limit of 8 pages of porn.
YOUR LIBRARY rocks... but I've already stated as much.
I actually renamed fsck to fuck.

So, walk a block the pubic, err, public library. Pubic, err, public schools are usually a black hole of information anyways.
slashCII... I like that... clever. How's that working out for you?
TEE-HEE!
I really did not want to think about you not thinking about that.

Actually, I thought the second post was a hell of a lot funnier than the first. I think you are the one with no sense of humor. :)
