Censoring hate speech and peodophile discussions is one thing. Stopping crime by busting those who produce, host and transmit images of child abuse is a different thing. If it was somehow possible to restrict Freenet to hosting ASCII files, I'd be happy to run a node.
It seems to me that the idea is to employ the same argument as an ISP: 'It wasn't me, it was one of my users. I can't possibly be expected to monitor all multimedia crossing my network'.
However, in the case of Freenet, one could argue that since obfuscation of request and content sources is a core design goal, the owner of a node is wilfully making it hard to police. Whilst IANAL, I imagine that this would be considered when judging any case against an operator.
Maybe the CLI should be unnecessary, but that probably isn't even true of Windows. Try partitioning a new disk. Unless things have changed recently, you'll have to use fdisk (third party software excluded).
I would not want the CLI to be completely inaccessible. Even in Win2k, I can run cmd.exe for a command shell. Editing a registry key gives command-line completion, too.
For (3), I find gnomba works just fine. I had to change the scan method to 'IP Scan' and set the IP range manually, other than that, it is straightforward.
However, Mark McWilliams, a software engineer and Office 2003 beta tester, said he has seen nothing to indicate that Office 2003 removes formatting information from files saved in.xml. He noted that he opened a heavily formatted.doc Microsoft Word file, saved the file as XML, and later opened the file in Word 2003.
I guess that the best tool depends on the user, and the task they want to fulfil. A touch typist might say that WP is better, due to having function keys available from the home position. I can't touch type, and I never learned the control keys, so I'd make better use of a Word-like interface, with toolbars, buttons, mouse control etc.
I think he is saying that to teach someone that a natural expression of their desires is wrong might cause behavioral/psychological problems later.
On a side note, the first time I remember masturbation being mentioned was at a bible study, where we were taught that God disapproved of the practice. The idea had never entered my head before then (I was probably aged about 9 or 10).
As teenagers in the UK, sometimes we would find porn mags in bushes or under hedges. I'm wondering, is this an international phenomenon, or has it only been observed in the British Isles?
I don't know about modern GUI versions, but about 10 years ago my mother, a touch typist, used Wordperfect for DOS. She later retrained for Word, but she said that she missed the way that her hands didn't have to leave their positions to access functions in WP.
Myself, I never liked it. F2 for help? What was that about then, eh?
It's interesting that you say nVidia have dropped the ball, and hence are giving away sales to ATI. If I remember rightly, 3DFX suffered the same fate. Their Voodoo 3 cards were rendering in 16-bit colour depth only, while nVidia were offering 32 bit colour. So there is no problem, the better gaming product makes the most sales. Nothing new.
You are right that a train's inertia means that most rail collisions are nasty. I'm just arguing that the deaths per passenger mile are lower for trains in the UK than cars. I agree with one of your points though, freight should be taken off the trunk road system and carried by rail. All those big lorries scare me, especially when it's raining, spray everywhere and 2 out of three lanes clogged with house-sized boxes bowling along at 60mph.
Well, I don't think that this is flamebait, but I don't agree either. To wind up a corporation would likely cause problems to many innocent employees. You could argue that fining them does too, but maybe there should be some way to ensure that the cost of fines should be borne directly by the shareholders. They are the ones with real power over the boardroom, so maybe it's best to prod them when the company breaks the law.
Well, in the UK the airlines pay no fuel tax. That is a direct government subsidy to keep the cost of air travel down.
As for your point about trains being the single most dangerous form of transport, think again. You'll probably find that a motorcycle is the most dangerous form of transport, and that driving a car is far more likely to get you killed than taking a train. I feel far more vulnerable overtaking 40 tonne lorries in my car than travelling on a high speed train.

This whole thread is a red herring, much like the justification of this war.
It matters because our leaders no doubt have an eye on domestic opinion.
It's what they all do, that's the trouble.
Hmm, you're right. yenc flamewars on freenet, anyone?

I think that's also true of Intel 686 or later.
Or maybe they just had OpenOffice installed.
OpenOffice.org opened the Powerpoint presentation, Acrobat Reader dealt with the pdf writeup.
"The US, and countries that wish they were (i.e. western Europe)".
I'm quite happy to stay British, thankyouverymuch.
Read the freakin' article. Fifth paragraph:

Sheesh.
As the parent post points out, one of the beta testers found that all formatting information *was* preserved.

I thought the anti-French people were complaining that they *won't* surrender. Make up your minds, people.

I've heard some strange stuff from religious people, but nothing like this.
The medieval Vatican could probably teach the White House a thing or two, they also had experience of operating in the Middle East.
