That's what I thought until the first time I found a girl's porn stash. Romance novels are beyond pornographic. Some of that shit isn't even physically possible.
primarily the bits that people have tried very hard hide from spiders
.
They aren't looking for kiddy porn, they're looking for wrongly block sites. They aren't trying to hide.
"checks availability but never actually pulls content"
And how pray does one do that? Guess work? Intuition? Magic?
. Do a HTTP GET to a host for an url. If it starts to return data in a normal fashion, drop the connection and thus not download the rest of the page. If it fails in the method indicative of the blacklist, ask the uncensored computer to try it. If the uncensored computer gets data returned, put that url on the "possibly banned list". You probably just need the GET response or at most the header, a few mere hundreds of bytes.
and the fact by the time you've got to scan number two, the first set of results are now weeks out of date
. Why would you think they'd wait until after going all the way through? Check it from the uncensored computer immediately and only check those that seem to be blocked. No point in checking the pages that succeed on the censored computer. Hell, with DNS blacklists you wouldn't even need to check it from another site, just see if you can ping the IP. If you can ping it, but get a "no route to host" when trying to make a HTTP connection, that's a big neon sign right there. Or if a deliberately non-existent page gets one kind of 404 page, but a suspected blocked page gets a different kind of 404 page, another big neon sign.
(conservative estmiate, you're crawling THE INTERNET)
Google seems to manage. And they actually download the content, we're just checking for availability.
How about a shutter response faster than 500 ms? My dads spotmatic and my old K1000 back in the 80s had a shutter response time somewhere around zero (or at least no longer than typical human or video game player reflexes) but my wife's couple year old nikon takes almost a second to take a picture after the button is pressed, almost useless for action shots.
And more shots per second as well. Some of the newer cameras can do 300 shots per second, but only at like 300x100 resolution. I want to be able to click a button and pick from the best 300 8 MP shots that happened in that second, or take those "bullet hits balloon at 8000 fps" videos with at least webcam resolution..
It basically looks like they take a regular set of speakers, rip out the cone and surround, put in a little flat plastic cone instead, add a headband, and then laser etch a random number into the ironwork.
Oooh, snazzy. I can do the same with some 2 inch mids and a set of hearing protectors.
Also, just to be semantic, 3rd world does not automatically refer to a country of low economic status. The phrase was created after WWII. First world was the US and its allies, Second world was the Soviets and their allies, Third world was anyone else, which almost invariably referred to poorly developed nations but is by no means exclusive to them.
Your point is my point. The GP used it as an indicator of socioeconomic status and P said it wasn't intended to be so, but linked to a page with the above criteria in the first paragraph, so I was razzing them for it. I was not originally making a serious point about the state of the US, although apparently it should have been, considering the responses.
It's interesting what hits close to home these days, I need to start using the </humor> tag.
Yes, the post was trollish reply to the original poster.
I do not think the US is a third world country, which is why I stated "3rd world here we come" instead of "3rd world, here we are".
Is the Andes mountains sufficiently 3rd world for you? There are places in Appalachia that are almost that bad. I've met people that have neither phone, nor electrical service, nor running water. Nominally, there is assistance for such people, but they aren't getting it, whether from ignorance, apathy, or choice.
I once delivered a package whose instructions included "turn off the paved road", but also "stop your car, walk 10 minutes to the GPS coordinates, leave it on the stump, don't try to make smalltalk - you won't be able to understand the accent".
I think the US is by far and away one of the better places to live, but that is only a generality. There are exceptions that would freak many people out. Hell I don't even believe this AC. But there are places near where I live that have hit 40%+ unemployment, so it might be just because I'm afraid it's true.

In a bio class I took(a premed class, but I needed the credits and had scheduling problems that year), the professor had a pop quiz: name the various portions of the female sexual/reproductive system.
Guys scored an average of 75%, women 40%. The guys' distribution curve was tightly clustered around 70% with a tail towards 100%, looked kinda like a nose in profile. Many jokes were made about "If they know what it is called, why can't they find it."
The women's curve peaked near 20% with a second small, wide bump around 80%. "Because most of you can't tell us where it is" was shouted from the back of the hall.
I don't know what the ratio of male vs female gynos is, and I agree that having being female gives certain advantages in comparisons, but higher knowledge of the subject in general is not necessarily so.
On the other hand, the quiz for male anatomy looked the same, but shifted towards 0%. Apparently nobody cares what guys' bits are called.
But there is a limited amount of bandwidth available to SMS traffic, since the system wasn't designed to support increased usage of the signalling channel, so if usage were to rise, it would become a limited resource, necessitating higher prices to prevent gridlock.
It'd be much better if everyone just joined the Year of the Fruitbat, got a data plan and used messaging or email.
You must've missed all the articles on here about AT&T, Verizon, Time-Warner, et al, trialing the capping of internet service.
Unless you have some nice but somewhat naive connection, it probably includes something like "we may degrade your service to protect the service of our other customers"(ie, you are overbooked) or "we reserve the right to terminate your service if you use it excessively"(ie, we bought a burstable line, knock it off).
Or, as my phone's data plan says, "Your unlimited usage plan is subject to termination if used as a modem. Usage in excess of 5 gigabytes per month shall be considered evidence of use as a modem."
Third World is a categorical label used to describe states that are considered to be underdeveloped in terms of their economy or level of industrialization, globalization, standard of living, health, education or other criteria for 'advancements'.
Crappy economy, check. Industrialization outsourced, check Poor standard of health, check Poor standard of education, check Poor standard of living, heading that way Poor standard of internet service, double check
We are pretty good on globalization, but other than that, 3rd world here we come.
Senior mgmt, since their bonuses are stock based, has the goal of inflating stock value in the short term(ie, until they jump ship) over stock value in the long term(ie actually making the business successful).
Unless the company is still young, most mgmt got their by being a self-promoter and will resist such change vigorously, unless they are exempt from it.
But yes, on the upside, this method does ease the avoidance of such companies, if they are kind enough to mention it in the interview process and not until after review time.
Hardcore observation. Fill the place full of cameras, then pay an anthropologist to watch everybody and develop the kind of relationship map they do for previously uncontacted jungle tribes.
They get some PHD material, you get a map of your dept much better than what this crap is.
You misunderstand me. Measuring from the local benchmark(conveniently in my back yard), it is off by 8 feet. That is within the margin of my GPS, so I'm not likely to bitch about it, since I'd only expect to be within 20 feet to account for twice the error.
"Sure, officer, I had sex with her while she was passed out, but I dropped her off at the hospital afterwards! If I'd left her at the party, everyone would have had a go. See, it was all for an article on the dangers of binge drinking, so it's okay!"
or
"Well, yes, I was growing pot in that empty house for a piece on drug-squatters, but I had the electric company shut off the power after I grew just one plant, so I saved the owner tons of money."
It is pretty awesome that he could mix all those disparate parts. As for making super-sampled youtube music This guy did it using just himself back in 06. He can't play for shit, but he recorded himself hitting each drum and pressing a bunch of keys on a piano, loaded it into a tracker and made some music out of it (skip the first 90 seconds of drum solo)

So you really want a Blackberry Storm with an Apple logo on it?
.
Why are you assuming he wants to keep these people?
What if he wants them to just fuck off?

Get off my lawn.
Seriously, get off it
Blackberries do it, even though most of them already have physical keyboards. And even the Storm can cut&paste.
And more shots per second as well. Some of the newer cameras can do 300 shots per second, but only at like 300x100 resolution. I want to be able to click a button and pick from the best 300 8 MP shots that happened in that second, or take those "bullet hits balloon at 8000 fps" videos with at least webcam resolution..
Losing your innocence about sex should be like losing your innocence about Santa.
Lots of excitement, yelling, upset parents, a little blood, and an elaborately rigged trap.
What, you didn't find the truth by rigging a snare in front of the tree?

Aren't you optimistic, usually the ratio is the other way around. Or are you counting the conversation beforehand as foreplay?
Anecdote isn't the singular of data, but:

Just checked and mine is within the error margin of my GPS. Says I'm sitting on the opposite side of my office, maybe 8 feet or so.
What do you have against Mexicans? It's not like AEXA is putting up a whole lot of rockets. Or actually even doing a lot of existing.
So like:
"Sure, officer, I had sex with her while she was passed out, but I dropped her off at the hospital afterwards! If I'd left her at the party, everyone would have had a go. See, it was all for an article on the dangers of binge drinking, so it's okay!"
or
"Well, yes, I was growing pot in that empty house for a piece on drug-squatters, but I had the electric company shut off the power after I grew just one plant, so I saved the owner tons of money."
Somehow I don't think those would fly.

No, that would be reckless endangerment.
You have to do it deliberately for a news piece on elderly drivers and why they can't miss a farmers market.
