Philadelphia is wrong on many levels. Thus, good on Google. However, there is a lot to think about here. Namely, what if some spammer sends me photos of minors and Google sees it? Will I be reported? Or more realistically, what if someone that I have a poor relationship with sends me illegal images and Google sees it? Will I be held accountable for my that person's actions too?
Corel Linux, from what I've learned from ex-Corel employees here, was just a last gasp.
The product was poor however. I worked with a fair number of ex-Corel employees here in Ottawa and it was just my luck that I was working with them when Corel Linux came out (note the sarcasm). I was forced to install this abomination on ten workstations and keep them running. What a drag that was. In fact, working with ex-Corel employees alone was a drag since they were laid off when Corel Linux failed to take off. Paradox anyone?
Thank you, Michael Copeland for giving me one year of your hell.
I'm sure it'll hit the front page of the Ottawa Citizen within a couple of days.
In all honesty, I don't see the current legislation giving in to this. Then again, here in Canada the people let themselves get dumped on by the government daily.
imstanny's real name is Stan and he lives in NJ. imstanny likes to kick it "at the hizzy with some fizzies" We've found photographs of him holding a gun in a glorified stance as well as one that could be him throwing up a gang sign. He was also found on a site called heatwire.com. Can someone in HR please look into this? We werent able to find him on MySpace. Can someone please call the folks at MySpace and match the IP used in his email headers to a user on MySpace? I know it costs us 10 bucks, but it's worth it right?
If my name were Bob Jones how would they know which Bob Jones was me on Google or MySpace?
Seriously, there are two others with my exact name on the Internet. One is a travel agent who apparently has a bad reputation for ripping people off. How could a prospective employer discern which person is me and draw a proper conclusion?
Isn't this merely another form of discrimination anyway? I don't care if my employees post photos of their private parts on the web, that's their business. They come to work, they work well and they go home.
At the same time, is it not possible that these employers are keeping tabs on their employee's personal life during the course of their employment terms? That's simply despicable if you ask me.
Of course, we should all be using false names on the Internet anyway. Haven't people learned anything?
Interesting perspective considering that the game has more romantic interactions than anything else. It has very little educational value, if any.
Hypothetical "What I learned from the sims" (from a child's perspective):
* Garden gnomes will always be stolen. * Chinese food takes hours to eat. * If I go across the street or next door, I need to take a car. * All female Housemaids wear sexy clothing. * I can dedicate my life to having as many lovers as possible. * Mom and Dad do woohoo. * Nannies are unreliable and rarely show up on time. * I don't have to wash my hands after I use the bathroom.
(and the list goes on)
Seriously, the game plays by Sim rules not "real life" rules. What is there to actually learn?

The last time I pulled out, she got pregnant anyway.
So then, let's google imstanny:

You're safe. I don't think anyone would hire a person named Anonymous Coward anyway.
