But you would be blocking entire sites that use dynamic links like Slashdot. Slashdot can contain censurable comments everywhere and they can have lots of URLs, because they embed parameters into the URL.

After the battle of Austerlitz (?), Napoleon was commited to Elba in the Mediterranean. He managed to escape and go to Paris to scare all the crowned heads of Europe. They assembled and fought the final battle of Waterloo (listen to Abba's Eurovision hit for more references). Napoleon was captured and since Chiefs of State don't mistreat Chiefs of State too much (see Pinochet), they sent him to a mansion in the tropical and far-away island of St. Helena (sp?) int the middle of the Atlantic. --
Personally, I prefer to pay for a CD that I can enjoy for years than for a concert where you stand deafened by the coupling and reverb. Artists who base their business on concerts and merchandising would get no money from people like me. --
Is Napster only used to trade current pop, rap, rock music? What about Classical, Medioeval, ethnic? Those are musics hard to find on CD whose fans theoretically would benefit from Internet ditribution. --
I dreamt about some kind of GPL-virus-like license that would allow to build on the art of somebody else as long as you put your work under the same license. Something like "You can use this song for your video if I can use your video for my installation", "You can make a novel off her short story if I can make a manga in Japanese from it". After all, from an obscure Danish chronicle to Shakespeare's "Hamlet" to Kenneth Branagh's films, that's how our culture is done. Or take the Finnish Kalevala, Tibetan Gesar of Ling, Odissey, Arthur's cycle. They all build on sombody else's work and improve it (well not always, freedom's dangerous).
I'd like to see a body of GPLish content to emerge to be enjoyed. --
I couldn't recognize a Grateful Dead myself but I know that they allowed people to tape their concerts.
And John Perry Barlow, who wrote some of their texts, was a founder of EFF, wasn't he?
What about a Slashdot interview with John Perry Barlow or other members of Grateful Dead? I think their view on this issue (and other Slashdotic things) would be very insightful. --
Like it or not, there's no real reason to prefer christianity over islam, scientology, or greek mythology.
Ok, first of all, in Islam you can have 4 wives, in Christianity you can only have one. Islam beats Christianity.
Ha, multiply all the trouble and strife that goes wiv a wife by four! This is an argument against Islam. And all that food and drinks you are not allowed to have! But Islamic banks have 0% interest rates.
There. You just can't take the shallow view of these things..
I remember reading about a Chinese immigrant to the US who chose Protestantism because its followers were richer!
And there are the massive conversions because it is a better living. 13th-century Bosnia, 8th-century Spain, Marx' ancestors,... --
You are saying that religion usually(ever?) incorporates some ethics. In my unknowledge, I could say that early Islam is really ethics and law system for Arabians. That's why you need scholars for things such as money-lending banks.
But, as I read, I couldn't help thinking that the GNU manifesto also heaviliy promotes some ethics. And it also has overzealous promoters. Is GNU a bit of a religion (and RMS its prophet)? --
There are other sites using Slashdot software and covering similar topics. Alas, they don't use English. Thus the readership is lower, the high-level posters ("I am the researcher mentioned in the article from Science and...") are fewer, and the troll quantity is much lower. I suppose it correlates with the size of the site.
I won't point to them so that they don't get "too popular". --
Another (minor) downside is that it took a little more effort than it should have to enable tab auto-complete in the Command Prompt, but this was also the case with NT4.
PC World for a time even had a page with the CD-KEY to do an upgrade, the one printed on the CD only allowed installation on empty disks. But I don't have the URL here (anyway probably it has vanished now). --
That supposes that the device is getting accurate program time information, so that you don't stop recording thirty minutes before the actual end of the whodunnit. Is it usual in the US? --
The project EverBlue is a port in progress of Xlib to OS/2 Presentation Manager, so that you can compile X applications to run in a OS/2 framebuffer, using your normal OS/2 drivers and integrated with the rest of your OS/2 apps. --
Instead of purchasing a copy of The Prisoner of Zenda, read it online.
No! Why waste their bandwidth? Besides, if a book is so generally available that you can get it in print and it's enough for your use, maybe it is not so urgent to get it on the Gutenberg. And what about usability of paper versus screen?
If it's not, then give a student extra credit for typing it in.
This reminds me of forced labor.
No adult child has any inherent natural right to control his father's published writings
Some writer once complained that a farmer can "transfer the control of his property" to their descendants for _ever_, but his "transfer" will only last for some years. Land is not the same as intellectual but I can see a point. --
Yes, I agree with you. But it's the dollars from the customers who push the sites. Instead of television this reminds me of radio. In the beginning it was a way for "geeks" to communicate. Then the stations and the networks came and commercialized it all.
Where are the free radios now? Why I don't care about them?
I hope there will still be a plce for the individual in the future Internet --
