We're talking about who came up with what idea first.. he was citing windows mobile as being the idea that apple stole for it's iphone.. which is entirely incorrect.
Jailbait is the not what we're talking about here.
When people say CP, they really mean *kids*. There is a lot of porn involving CHILDREN (not in the 15 year old sense, try the 5-12 year old sense).
I've been on 4chan plenty. People post stuff to get a rise out of other members, posting a 15 year old girl who took a picture of herself and posted it online didn't hurt anyone; a picture of a 40 year old having sex with a 10 year old certainly did.
But here's where that starts to bug me: What about crime scene photography? Rotten.com? War photography? Possession of pictures of crimes and brutality are not outlawed in any case except this one. Also, no one really argues that Rotten.com should be outlawed because it will result in more crimes/suicides/whatever being committed. Why? Because they're just pictures. We don't know why people are looking at them, and in many cases probably don't want to know.
Rotten.com does not commit murder or genocide, this comparison is moot.
Little kids don't just fall naked onto a guy's dick and a camera accidentally goes off. These kids being photographed are being done so for profit and gain, the people collecting these photos are often paying money to the abusers for them. No the photo collectors aren't abusing any kids, but a mob boss isn't killing anyone either, he's just ordering the hits; does that make him any less guilty?
Its crazy that you can be sent to jail for many years and be alienated from society for the rest of your days for having a certain amount of bits stored on hard drives/flash memory/toggle switches arranged in a certain way.
The creation of those bits required the harming of a child, there's nothing crazy about wanting to outlaw those bits.
Legalizing the ownership of abusive images will only result in MORE children being abused. If they get caugh/prosecuted more in the US, then they will simply outsource to abuse to some poorer country where child abuse isn't heavily prosecuted. All you've done is moved the abuse elsewhere, and made it easier for Americans to get their hands on some despicable material.
Your suggestion is a very bad one.
In Canada where every citizen is covered, there's a caveat: You need a permanent address (this is to stop fraud). The upside is, you can identify a homeless shelter as your address, but still, if you really do live on the street, you are not technically covered.
You basically just justified the killing of civilians..
I guess the 9/11 attackers were justified then? How about suicide bombers that walk into markets and kill a few hundred people? It must be there fault for trying to live peaceful lives.
The US spends $1.15 trillion a year on 'Defense', only bleeding heart liberals would want to waste any of that money on silly things like infrastructure.
Ever search for warez or torrents in google? They don't block any of it unless it has malware. TPB has similar rules, I've never seen them block anything..
Are you honestly trying to argue that ThePirateBay was set up with the intention of being a tracker for legal torrents?
You'll have to fill me in, what exactly is illegal about a file containing the hashes of a file.. is the hash copyrighted? TPB is basically google, but for file hashes.
That's nice, a tiny victory for Net Neutrality.. however the other part of the CRTC's decision gave total control to the big 3 to charge resellers anything they want.
Right now I have a 24MBit uncapped and unthrottled ASDL2+ connection for $39/month with a Bell reseller (colba.net). Yesterday I got a letter from my ISP telling me that under the new rules set by Bell, I was only really allowed to have 5-10GB a month, but that they would be so kind as to permit me to have 60GB a month at my current monthly rate. Every additional gigabyte would cost $0.75 to a maximum of $30. If I exceeded 300GB in a month I would then be DISCONNECTED until the end of the billing cycle.
I don't know what asshat at the CRTC though that allowing Bell do charge whatever they want to the resellers would actually promote competition, but he/they should be shot out of a canon into a brick wall.
From their site:
A retail customer is the end user who purchases access to the Internet. The CRTC does not regulate rates, quality of service issues or business practices of Internet service providers as they relate to retail customers. This is because there is enough competition in the market that retail customers can shop around for service packages.
Thanks to this new ruling, the slim competition that existed will soon disappear; what reason do I have to use a reseller if they charge the same amount as Bell?
I'm fairly certain the scanners read the text, get a good idea of what it says, then asks several people to tell them what it says, as more people type the text in they become more clear on what it says.. I've used reCaptcha a number of times and find it to work pretty well. Though I have wondered the same thing you're wondering.

The iPhone is just a PDA with a telephone added to it.
The newton clearly existed before Microsoft had done anything in mobile computing.

Development was started in 1989.
So why not complain about the lack of distinction instead of the entire idea? You're throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Few people kill with the intention of taking pictures and selling them on the internet.

That's not entirely true..

So why does the US need to spend so much more on defense than the rest of the free world?
Nice words. Are you actually planning on doing anything about this, or are you just gonna talk tough by using threatening language?
Right now the US is paying about $400B to $500B in interest on its debt..

I'm not an engineer, but I suspect there was a lot of cost cutting going on by all parties involved.

They've also done a great job at banging out full digit releases frequently..
Maybe I'm missing the joke.. but.. InnoDB supports them. I use them all the time.
Nah Futurama. >All our horses are 100% horse-fed for that double-horse "juiced-in" goodness.
