Took a trip and wrote a book about it. Course we were watching wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, Dallas, Knight-Rider, and the A-Team so we were totally clueless.
There's a huge difference between displaying profanity in a VA library on a clipboard and placing it on servers that are connected to the internet. There is absolutely no guarantee that what exists on a VA server is going to necessarily be seen primarily by VA's population.
If there were such a gaurantee, businesses on the Internet would not have to advertise.
BTW, I cannot be brought to trial for saying profanity from my home in CT to someone in VA or for someone in VA saying profanity to me in CT over the phone.
At this I can only suggest that you mirror websites often because in a few years the world is going to really suck it's happened before it will happen again and morons will be pushing the dominating philosophy even as it causes the world to rot.

That's the danger. On the other hand Communist authorities have such a lack of understanding of symbolism that it was relatively easy to sneak anti-Communist writings past them.

Besides, by using ASCII-HTML you can get it to do all you want. What I'm very encouraged about is that a 680MB CD-ROM will hold a lot of non animated material. And what do the buggers cost?

Answer one question PLEASE! Why must you be so simple-minded? Why so superficial?
You moron, non-geeks happen to think they're living in fucking Eden. They have various SIMPLISTIC Horatio Algier wet American dreams and philosophies stated in fewer words than in those stupid pamphlets that try to explain sex.
America is no more demoratic than all the other so-called democratic republics. Our govt gets to hide behind the mock-muckrakers we call the news media. We still have our guns. Check out Australia. They no longer have guns.
Human nature can't be stopped not even by the geniouses who came up with our 66% voting system (a sysytem that allows a candidate to win without killing the competition. If a candidate wins w/ 66%, the opposition only has to be 100% effective the next time around, that is each 1% of the oppositon only has to turn around 1% of the other group in order to win. Since 66% is enough candidates can concentrate on doing their campaigning not racketeering. If it were 51% to 49% this country wouldn't have lasted a week.)
Stealing scripting languages... First of all, If MS says they wrote Perl, non-geeks buy it. Without Perl, or any other scripting language, work does not get done! ISP's would die out. You cannot go around creating applications in C++ and having to deal with all kinds of useless bloatlibraries when what you need is a fucking script that knows to delete all files unauthorized or change permissions on binaries by reading a text (human readable) config file. I shouldn't have to keep up with the latest X-server API just to write a decent tool for keeping things in order. No one has a right to own opportunity. Why should people have to keep reinventing the wheel because some imbecil decides he's a fucking God. Oh, yeah you forgot, in the old days we had fucking poll taxes. You breathe you pay.
>I'd love to see you write articles / program / music / art / do photography for a living, and then have your stuff blatantly copied all over the place. Then we'll see how you feel about copyright
Imitation is the high form of flattery.
The Industrial Revolution ended a while ago. No new ideas. For example, Moog synth != new idea. Try Pipe organ. That was a moderately new idea. It was the original sythesizer (besides that old dead composer who first mixed who first mixed different voices.) It mixed voices through the use of levers. Computer != new idea. Studied by Ada, Turing long before there was one sold. GUI's invented in 1970's != new idea. Every device that requires human input has labeled buttons. Check out your stereo. (or do you need to read the instructions first to find the play button. This is why VCR's are hard to work with. People are inhumanly lazy.)
I would love free enterprise in a perfect world. Really, but Earth ain't OZ, and the wizard was a little man there (hint hint). The fact is all I see as far as free enterprise in making big money is those hot air balloons^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hstocks, and long costly meetings about how to beat the system, screw the customer, and get of town when it all crumbles.
Sorry but I've already solved my problems. I have a simple job. And as far music, programming, art, photography, articles are concerned I can do anything I want in that area including making money. I've already secured my survival. There's no CEOs breathing down my neck that they don't like with my using Freenices. There's deadlines. I set those and seem to be able to keep them. No one can tell me don't write this or that kind of music cuz we'll drop you off the label. I don't answer to anyone when I'm creating. I do have plenty of opportunities to make connections with other people and make even more money. And that luxury I owe to open source.
So what if I don't fly to Europe every other day. They don't get along very well there anyway. Besides, who wants to share space with whiny striking unemployed government subsidized citizens. (It's true. The French have completely lost touch.) Get real.
