The difference is where you have to purchase, with an ID, the adult magazine, and therefore legally prove you are over the age of 18. Webmasters do not check if the person clicking the opt-in is a minor. Some require credit cards, but not for the preview, and credit cards are more intrusive than drivers license numbers. No one can put you in debt with just your drivers license.
Anyone can firewall their own machine, and still get incoming requests. What would be nice is if ISP's offered web-based firewall management for your connection. That way the incoming firewalled requests get stopped before they pass through your bill, and you still have control over what gets firewalled.
Then the ISP can safely assume that all traffic is authorised by the customer. The customer would still be responsible for trojans and hacks on his machines.

Am I the only one who watches only to find out what kind of society I live in? And without any real hope of contributing to or affecting the overall state of affairs?
On the other hand I AM glad that computer crime is possibly going to be recognized as a white collar crime instead of a terrorist threat.
This one bombed a bus. That one stole a credit card. Kill 'em both!
By saying, "various media outlets lost serious money," you imply that they had it in the first place. I'm sick of companies using projected profits as legally "lost" money. Each and every day millions of lottery ticket buyers "lose" the millions in the jackpot because they simply picket the wrong number.
As to being on topic, I predict that new orbiters will be designed and manufactured within the decade.
Right, because psychohistory is only predictive. It might predict, for example, that the Second Empire on its own would eventually crumble, without the active intervention of agents such as the Second Foundation.
The empire DID collapse without interference from the 2nd Foundation. The Great Sack of Trantor was the first time 2nd Foundationers ever influenced the outside world. Hehe I just happen to be rereading the series at the moment.
Asimov speculated that it took more than a suitable person to fill roles like Lincoln and Ceasar. In his books, it took entire societies being ready and needful of such figureheads.
Interestingly enough, Seldon's own plan became hypocritical after the 2nd Foundationers took over "management" of history in Foundation and Empire. According to Seldon's published theories, there needed to be no management for history to conclude the formation of a 2nd Empire. After the Plan was re-established (the Mule and aftermath), the 2nd Foundationers would still meddle in the affairs of mortals.
The Mule DID throw the plan completely off, and Seldon's plan and even the 2nd Foundation would have been unable to survive the Mule intact if it weren't for the planet consciousness of Gaia stepping into the picture in Foundation's Edge (the fourth book of the "Trilogy"), much like the 2nd Foundationers were trying to do themselves.
Actually, I think Foundation's Edge was Asimov's revision of his view of the world of foundation. In the trilogy, his books pointed toward a class-based rulership of the masses based on selected elite mind-bending super-men, not totally unlike George Lucas's universe, actually. Foundations edge revised that to become a collective consciousness where everyone shares in the control by their needs and their connection with said "collective consciousness". To wit: Gaia for a single planet and Galaxia as the entire galaxy (not just the people) being psychicly linked.
And all in all, Asimov's entire message from all his Robot books and Foundation books and everything else was: "Can't we all just get along?"
Recently the effects of gravity were proven to travel at the speed of light. Who is to say that the effects of quantum entanglement don't travel at the same speed?
Make that " . . . WAS used daily . .." It's evil, really, but I love it when overcontrolling lawyers get their *sses bit because they decided to make a comission on a useless and frivoulous lawsuit.
At that size, who needs 3 monitors to display peripheral vision? Reminds me of the 'Wall' that President Scroob was talking to in the bathroom from Spaceballs.

Would you like a penus extension with that?

So explain to me why slowing down your SMTP connection won't also slow down YOUR mail, especially with single access clients like OE.
Now if it only emulated the Atari 2600, we would have an entire Geek hobbyshop in one unit!
a little expensive for my taste.

Why do these speakers sound like early '80's processors?
So that's what they did to cafeteria food . . .

Sounds like it's time for a decentralized database.
Hooray!
And thank you for playing Devil's advocate. I think I waited almost as long to get new Creative Labs drivers . . . ba-dum-bump.
