I don't have a problem with the govt monitoring surfing habits to questionable sites. Baiscally, I got nothing to hide.
Next thing you know they'll be monitoring on other criminal or undesirable behavior
That's what they're supposed to do! As for the terrorist threat excuses it's gone a bit too far there. It's hard to start going back to normal when you continually have the heads of state talking up fear constantly and exploiting collective trauma
This is not a bad idea, I don't think the blocking is the problem - why not close down the sites completely? Are there really any countries out there that wouldn't cooperate on such a task? Maybe blocking is a strategy to log which users visit these sites and keep them under surveillance?
In.au the govt with Telstra have a list of sites that are collected (porn sites) that are listed as banned sites for visiting during work hours (within govt). Visiting such a site that is listed as banned gets you logged and then you need to have a good explaination as to why you shouldn't be fired. Once hotmail.com was listed and all hell broke lose - "I can't read my mail", although I wouldn't call reading hotmail mail as being work constructive.

Maybe not deafening, but isn't this a form of remote mind control?
reminds me when the sega saturn came out for a big $750 AUD or one of the other console disasters, and then they wondered why no one bought one. That pretty much became the beginning of the end of Sega in the console market (debateable?).
They must aim these types of products for the monetary elites, anyway a rich person buying one HDTV is no different to a kid who saved up all his pennies to buy one, still the same sale. Chances are alot of people won't be saving their pennies for one if they see it a waste of money. When will I be buying a HDTV? not any time soon.
Most popular movies now come with director's or extra footage at some stage a few years after the movie is released. This is just another Hollywood business model and a successful one at that.
There is no way the Master System was a failure. When they came out everyone had one and there were more than 200 games for it. The Megadrive was no failure either and Sega still make good games for the arcade and other consoles.
Deep vein thrombosis - the type that some airline passengers say to of received from flying occurs when their fear of flying becomes great and the flow of blood around the body increases. The result is the blood clots. Unless one has a fear of computers I don't think we have much to worry about.
Project Gutenberg just doesn't come across as something interesting or the first thing you think of when you think "Free electronic library". Even "WikiLibrary" would be better (although not a wiki).
Since when did anything new in computing become affordable? Or a car, a t.v set - the list goes on. When there is competition and new stuff always coming out prices will always come down (barring external factors). You'll always get some stupid rich kid going out and buying all the latest and greatest. But as long as there is a demand prices usually stay high.
I received a nice piece of spam the other day. I didn't read it but I usually scroll to the bottom to see if they have the mandatory (in some places mandatory I think) unsubscribe method. This method sure gets me mad -
To unsubscribe by postal mail, please send your request to: P.O Box 272521 Boca Raton, FL 33427 Ref # XXXXXX -- scd
(XXXX.. replaced real reference number)
It seems that the unsubscription method doesn't have to be by email - just as long as it's by something and it's there. They musn't be specific in the law. Of course, no one is going to go write a letter by snail mail to unsubscribe to spam, although sending them some dog shit through the mail is tempting. I forgot the site that provides that service. Hrmm I should change my sig.
Australia will never get rid of mandatory voting. I think if they did, around 2 million people would turn up to vote nationally. Australia is a small country, 20 million even though we try to make it look like (at least to the Australian people) that we are a force to be reckoned with in the world (which is totally bogus, we have a couple frigates and some noisy submarines).
Having said that, last election I voted for the "Free Marjuana Party". Anyway, even if I did form my own party, I have to pass my votes on to another party. Basically, the two/three largest parties get your vote indirectly. The system is rigged to the core. I've also done the name ticked off and forget to tick the box thing too - whoops.
I think your sig says it all. Well, I live in Australia and if you don't vote you pay a fine or go to jail. (pay a fine mainly) What this means is that people show up to get their name ticked off and donkey vote or doodle on the election card. It also means even the dumbest candidates get votes based on "protest votes". The One Nation Party is witness to that.
Yeah, I miss Mika too. I don't know what Mclaren have been doing ever since the 2000 season finished. I've almost jumped ship from Mclaren and immediately started to back Montoya. I've pretty much given up on Coulthard with references to him such as "David Retard" - okay a bit harsh.
This year is definately going to be interesting, and M.Schumacher has to not finish a race this year (gamblers fallacy). I hope Barichello takes a few more wins too but I'm barracking for Montoya to win the championship, if not this season then definately the next.
Oh yeah, in 2000 I posted to RISKS digest about the traction and launch control failures. Here were two responses I got, http://catless.ncl.ac.uk/Risks/21.49.html#subj14
Damn it! I couldn't remember what it was, yeah, launch control! After a while of thinking I was convinced it was ignition control even though that didn't flow so well.
Yeah, Mclaren didn't seem to get it right for 2 or 3 races.
One of the coolest things that happened last year for me was when Jarno Truilli spun out at the Australian Grand Prix and smashed into the wall right in front of us. He crumbled to the pressure of M.Schumacher. On his way back to the garage I got to do a hi-5. I actually thought he spun out due to the traction control not working.
Formula-1 cars have used software to control several factors in the car for a few years now. Everything from traction control, ignition control to repairing the car remotely from the pit garage during a race.
Like with most things that rely on software, there is probably an accident waiting to happen. In the 2000 Austrian Grand Prix, 7 cars stalled it on the grid because their ignition control failed to work. This was the first race where the whole field was using them. Had this happened in the next race at Monaco there would of been a catastrophe due to the narrow road and the limited amount of time it would take to clear the field before the rest of the field comes racing through. Would of been red flagged surely but the RISKS are there. (Risks have always existed in motor racing, this is just a new spin)
Windows Media Player 9 could quite possibly be the most critically evaluated piece of software every to hit linux. In that case it will be a hit for sure, just as long as it does what it is supposed to.

So they set up this site entirely on analysing google from the top down? Is this site run by scientologists?
Leave google alone!
The article is pretty poor, it contains no facts and verifies nothing. It attempts to convey that it is true because of the trail of denial.
google fight!
It's the answer to every problem.
Yes troll, look before you leap (read the article before shooting your mouth off before you make an ass of yourself which you already have).
