For all you paranoid slashdotters let me ask you this.
Why shouldn`t the same laws of decency that apply to other medias magazines, television etc apply to the internet?
Following the logic of most of you we would already be living in 1984 if banning child porn in magazines and television, led to banning of porn, banning of anti bush rants etc etc
BT`s action may be stopping just one avenue to this sort of material but it`s a step in the right direction IMHO.
BTW i`m no right wing extremist I love a bit of consential adult porn as much as the next red blodded male.
My company recently updated from Netscape 4.x
to Mozilla as browsing with Netscape has become
a nightmare lately.
No doubt Mozilla is a capable browser (though it
seems slow at times), but we've had no end of
problems with the mail.
I guess it 's not really been tested in a high use
environment.
There was recently a dmeonstration of a wind up
battery charger on UK television designed by
the company behind the wind up radio.
With the prototype a 30 second wind created enough
power to use an MP3 player for 5 hrs.
I heard somewhere that Motorola had licensed this
technology to use as a mobile phone charger.
Certainly beats plugging a mobile into the mains
for 8 hrs, and has so many possible uses.
