    yeah netflix won't rent that to you but there is the rest of the Internet out their willing to service any and all fetishes. turn off safe search entirely on google and look for any you can think of and its out there. available any any of a dozen formats and streamed also their is the pirate bay for those that don't want to pay for their hardon. really dvd rental stores are for grandmas that don't have/understand the world wide net or for people living in small outport villages in arctic Alaska with dial up Internet.

  13. Re:Oh yay! on Google Wants To Be a Wireless Carrier · · Score: 1

    Probably, what I cold see happening is Google putting micro-cells up in places with their fiber. Higher density of cells, with better data connection means faster data on their phone service with better coverage and less network congestion. I could see google then adding in via google voice a routing of your cellphone through land line/Internet and wifi to your smart phone when you are at home so as to keep traffic low for the cellular network. this is Google trying to show telecoms how they should run by example rather than simply making blog post saying your doing it wrong which would be ignored by everyone but the slashdot crowd. this will show everyone that the telecoms are antiquated and backward on purpose because they are unwilling to update so they can continue to nickle and dime you.

    easy fix make them save the encryption key to a text file on a key server at NASA when they forget simply ask the IT guy to go get they key. this computer should have NO network connection and all of the input ports (not counting the 1 for the keyboard) filled filled with epoxy. it should have its drive encrypted with several people who know they decryption key so there is no one person that can forget it and screw everyone.

  22. no on AdTrap Aims To Block All Internet Advertising In Hardware · · Score: 1, Interesting

    If they hardwired the blocking in to it the ad sites could simply play a name game and get away with serving adds so it is obviously software just on another box, second this won't stop ads that are encrypted traveling over ssl if embeded in the site correctly. It is more convenient for me to block ads at my own device using no script and adblock plus, as for my mobile devices I could simply blacklist IP addresses and domains at my own router and do everything this box claims to do already. Fail fail and more fail. All this will do is give people a false since of security.

    No Hollywood should never be allowed near a Asimov book again especaily foundation novels, well they can do the robot and maybe the empire series' but never foundation. foundation spans several thousand years hoolywood would ruin it. can you imagine how bad it would be think i robot and then make it three books longer.
