Currently, W2000Pro has extended support out to 2010. I think after using it for a decade, you might be ready to move up. Are you still running the same Linux version you had in 1995?
According to the MPAA, the software does not report any data back to the MPAA.
Ha. And according to most criminals in prison, they are innocent. OK...this first version might not. But in a few months, after people get used to it, and they send out an 'update' containing all the new songs/movies that have been put out, it will have a new unpublished 'feature'.
Do you REALLY want to trust the MPAA snooping around inside your PC?

I honestly do not understand how anyone can doubt that humans cause climate change.
Scale. Here is a simpler experiment. Go into a large, unheated house in the middle of the winter. Light a single candle in each room. Keep them burning for days...weeks. Is the house noticeably warmer? Now....let the weather change a little. One warm, sunny day. Just one.
Therefore, all other things being equal, increasing the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will cause the planet to heat up.
'All other things' are not equal. Checked the output of the sun lately? Is it higher? Lower? Stable?
This would be very similar to what Google does with its "Sponsored Links" section. They're there, but the reader can easily tell the difference between legitimate headlines and ads.
Like most large corporations, they were short sighted enough to fall for M$ lock-in, and wrote their web apps to Microsoft Standards(TM) instead of Internet Standards...
Short sighted? No. I expect a lot of these problem things were written and in production before there was a viable alternative. My company has spreadsheets, currently in Excel2000, with beginnings going back 10+ yrs. Spreadsheets with huge formulae and calculations. WE are now beginning to port those calculations into something else, but dropping those into OOo or a non-MS browser is not a trivial task.
Personally, I am of the opinion that giving prisoners something to do other than pounding eachother in the ass can only be a good thing,
Video games isn't it.
With the number of prisoners available, we should never, ever, see a pothole. Are they being used to help dig out Boston from all that snow? If not, why not?
If this were really a group of 'poor oppressed students' within Iran, seeking to change the system from within, why on earth would the US govt cause their website to be taken down? The US govt knows that not everything Iranian is "Evil". The govt, probably. The people? Not a chance. After 9/11, Irani citizens were the most vocal in the region condemming the terrorist attacks. Few others did the same. A group looking to change the oppressive govt would be a GoodThing(tm).
Now...if this isn't merely a collection of innocent students....all bets are off.
If you have agreed a contract, abide by the T&Cs, and keep up payment; you have a RIGHT to be hosted, unless the contract is ended under its own T&Cs...
Except in the land of the "free" it appears;)
And maybe what they had on their site violated the TOS of the ISP. Try putting up a pro-Nazi website in France or Germany.
Company name, website, date, individual, position number, where I found it, link to the specific resume version & cover letter, date(s) of follow up, misc comments.
I think anything more would be managing the database, instead of managing the job search.
Or, having a far wider, faster selection to the individual pervert causes him to burn through material faster, creating a desire for more and more material. i.e. more kids.
Take a prevert in Podunk, Kentucky. 20 years ago, all he had was his local area, and maybe a 'supplier' in the next town over. Now, he has the entire world to choose from. And a far wider access to like minded assholes. Also, he can now 'become someone'. A 'server' in the global asshole community, instead of just a consumer. And a few of these characters will go that way.
Im not trying to justify it in any way, but why does this thing get so much attention when rapists and murderers are considered to be more "socially acceptable" crimes?
We (most of us anyway) are hardwired to protect kids. It violates our sensibilities at the very core.
Wrong.
True, that child molesters and purveyors of child porn exist in probably the same percentages as ever. No more, no less. And they will do whatever it is they do, with or without the Internet.
But. The net does provide a new vehicle for them. A presumed layer of anonymity (and for those that are not entirely stupid, encryption and proxies makes it much harder to track). And a way to dissminate their crap in far wider circles than before. Exactly like con artists. 419ers, phishers, and the like have been around forever. Fast online communications just make it easier to suck in a wider range of people.
Just because it existed before the net doesn't mean that the net's influence shouldn't be looked into.
The only place where I might just see it happening is in airports
And Starbucks. And your desk at work. And...and...and...
I don't see any airport opting to do away with their regular sockets and getting these plates instead.
Why not have both? Build these things into the tabletops in a cafe, wired through the tableleg, as well as the existing wall sockets here and there. Charge an extra $0.25/hour on top of whatever connection fee to recharge your PDA/laptop/cellphone. Reduced liability, because customers don't have random cables snaking across the floor.
The solution to this would supposedly be to not piss the terrorists off all the time...
Unrealistic. Consider two diametrically opposed factions, and the fringe militant groups in each. Israel/PLO. The PLO wants the Israelis pushed off into the sea. Israel obviously does not want this. China/Taiwan. China considers Taiwan as merely a rogue province. Taiwan considers itself an independant, sovereign country. India/Pakistan. India considers a particular bit of land theirs, Pakistan considers it theirs. Osama/USA/Saudi Arabia. OBL wants the US out of Saudi and the Holy Land. Why should we accede to his demands, if the host country (SA) wants us there?
Appease one, you piss off the other. Do nothing, and you piss off both sides. And you can't help both sides get what they want, because they want completely different things. 'The terrorists' is not a monolithic block with common goals.
Sometimes, there is no way to not piss them off, no matter what you do. And often, they want to be pissed off, so that those in power can retain that power.

'Most'? Some...a few, maybe. I'd be highly, highly suprised if it was >50%.
Ha. And according to most criminals in prison, they are innocent.

Put em to work.
The US has an similar band between Boston and Washington DC.

Centuries ago, people used to legally own slaves. Doesn't make it right.
