    Perhaps I am thinking enough to question conventional wisdom. Nothing is black and white. But finding the right shade of gray is difficult.
    For the record I am not Pro internet cencorship I just belive that cencorship does have a place in society, it's just that you have to make sure it's the right place. And no matter what you think about it some form of cencorship affects you everyday.

  5. Why is censorship bad? on German State Alters DNS To Censor Web Sites [updated] · · Score: 1

    OK so everybody says it is but i can't really work out how many people have actually thought about it themselves. The main aurguement seems to be that once your an adult it's your own resonsibility about what you see, belive and say. However judging by what some people do say belive and say thiers quite a big aruguement for cencorship... i gues the question allways comes down to who gets to do the cencorship. I persnoally belivve that their is a certain point where cencorship is a good thing. It's just a questions of finding that point, and agreeing on it.
    Apologies for the spelling.

  8. McLinux pre installed? on Slashback: Dell, 800, Disclosure · · Score: 1

    Ok so Dell do it, (kinda) Whats the chances of MkLinux ever being preinstalled on a Mac. I know Apple have been partially involved in some of the development, I have no idea what the situation is now though. Thinking about it which companys do sell boxes with linux pre installed? Even if you end up just wiping and installing your favourite distro it saves you the pain of paying for Microsoft products that your never gonna use when you buy a box.
