I hope you're deliberately misinterpretting my words, rather than just stupid.. so I'll point it out again..
Company money is DIFFERENT to personal money. THe company money, generally owed to people, share holders, creditors, etc.. is easier to spend 'morally' than personal money, which you need to live, for instance.
Hmm... I don't know about that, especially if you are a company, you are more than likely throwing around 'creditors' money. Which is much different to money which comes out of your own pocket, and stops you buying that new iPod or alternatively.. food.
Because I don't want my customer to be in any sort of trouble. I'd pull the site, send the customer a mail saying: Hey, this guy said this about you, so I hid your content until I could confirm with you that you want it on display again.
The other alternative is for me to leave it there until the content owner sues me, gets my details, and jams a massive lawsuit down the guys throat.
Just like you have the 'choice' to watch child porn?
I think the slippery slope argument is pretty useless here, because of the content we are talking about. Ask 100 people, and 100 people are going to say "let's get rid of child pornography". Ask 100 people about 'political websites' and it's going to be much less clear cut. So, why not get rid of child porn?
Great, go start your own internet. The rest of us will be over here on the good one, where we don't have to worry about watching a guy get decapitated while he is still alive.
I'm going to side with freedom of speech (and thereby child pornography on the internet.) I in no way approve of or condone child pornography.
Did you read what you just wrote before you posted it?
Let me run it by you again, with a bit of clever editing to make what you said just that much more obvious:
I am going to side with child pornography on the internet. I in no way approve of or condone child pornography.
It tastes like hypocracy, doesn't it. Now choosing a side here is a no-win game, so I'm not going to. But make sure you clearly understand that your 'free speech' means unlimited access to 'snuff films', 'rape films' and 'child abuse films' on the internet, just as much as it means unlimited access to 'some dude over in Iraq posting about how bad things are'.
What? The soldiers are going to be convicted by a military tribunal, not by a jury of their peers.
Nothing is at risk by telling the civilian public about it.

Call Doctor Science, and have him turn this crotch punching robot into an omelette eating robot! Are you speaking to Doctor Science.. right now?

Technet is pretty ordinary, but MSDN is awesome.

And my point was, it's easy to talk about courtesy when you are throwing around other people's money.
So, it wasn't your money there either..
Well, it's easy to talk about costs when they aren't YOUR costs to be paying, isn't it.

Well, the problem is that it is on the net and is available. Duh.

Is it worth it?
I don't see how that will guarantee it.. accidents still happen. Tape drives fail. Hard disks get dropped into tubs of jelly, etc.
The only way to truely secure your data is to hire a team of tibetan monks to each remember 1/5th of it. THen they can sing it back to you.
What about MS DOS?
well, if it's on a web site, it's got to be true!

Exactly, so there is no reason why not knowing how to maintain a computer should stop you from using it.
So why do they have full service service stations then? So soccer moms in their SUV's can go somewhere when the lights on the dash turn on.
Wait until you've got universal healthcare first :P
I'll show you a bit when you show me a watt :)
Obviously, that's why a gigalitre of water is 1024 litres.. and a gigawatt is 1024 watts.. :P
Awesome, it turns out .NET has a use after all.
Right... but the millions of dollars Dell paid was for the R&D.. whereas you would be getting all that R&D for free.
That's because your R&D has already been done.. by others. Try again.
