Do a Google Image search for anything you like. On page 20 (if you have your settings set to display 100 results per page) you will find nakedness.
Seriously, I agree with you fully.
On a side note, during the last phone contract I was signing up for, the telephonist spoke to me about filtering "inappropriate content". "Block nothing" was my reply and that was the end of the matter.
We've had this in the UK for a long time. Does it work as intented in Canada?
Over the last few years, companies have found that they can get around the problem by hiring southern Asian workers, with half a dozen 3rd parties inbetween.
We designed cars in 1992 on Spark stations. Multi-surfaced wireframe models, in those days.
It may have taken a second or two to redraw shaded views, but CPU speeds were never a real issue.
The biggest problems back then were network problems. "Network going down!" was a common scream around the body design shop and everyone rushed to save their work.
Solid modelling was done on the same Spark stations in 1999. Once again, no real problems with the hardware.
I miss Solaris. As a young man, I couldn't believe we were using Win3.1 in the back office, whilst using Solaris for all the important work. The difference between the two was huge.
I remember playing with some twist drill bits as a very young child. I was poking them into holes my father had already drilled; all good fun. When he offered me the cordless drill, complete with keyless chuck, all my birthdays came at once.
Even my own daughter has proper toys to play with. The medical certificated stethoscope we bought her was actually cheaper on Ebay than the toy version in Toys-R-Us. The magnifying glass she treasures will be awesome when she discovers the sun and it's fire-starting magic. muhahaha.
Children: They'll only cut their fingers off once.
I joined AOL a few years after 1993, I can't say when exactly. They were offering all-you-can-eat internet at a fixed price while others were still charging by the minute.
Disk went it. AOL's crap was installed. That stupid audio file played.
The next day, The Internet Logo (IE) was clicked, AOL dialed up, zip files on Geocities-type sites were downloaded. Not so different to how it happened for the years ahead.
Of course I switched when proper cable internet access was available.
You don't need that to see how we're being tracked (although I do have it installed).
I'd been looking at having laser eye surgery for some time. Money was the only thing stopping me from doing real research.
There was an advert for an Optical Express laser clinic, with a competition for free treatment, so I clicked. It's probably the only time I've ever clicked, and this was at work with no Ad-block installed.
I went through the process of consultation, price negotiation and all that stuff. I was happy with everything offered, and went ahead with the surgery (two weeks ago, best thing I've ever done).
Top of Slashdot today? Adverts for laser eye surgery at Optical Express. In fact, every blinking website I visit at work is trying to show me adverts for Optical Express. This has been going on for nearly two months!
I want to pick up on this article statement though: secure enough they can't just bypass it using a google search?
I set my daughter up with a Gmail account when she was 7-8 years old; about 5 years ago. I constantly remind her that I know the password, and all her mail is forwarded to me. The whole family knows that if I really wanted to, I could capture all the internet traffic on my network.
"When you can work out how to change the password and cancel the forwarding, you can do so."
She hasn't, although I know Google has reset her password many, many times. She doesn't need to. She trusts her Dad and why he read all her boring email?
There's no searching Google for workarounds. There's very little searching at all. She likes Facebook, Disney games, online games she's seen at school, Beiber, JLS, and did I already say Facebook?
Compaired to some of the messages I've seen her exchange with her peers, I know more gets seen and said in the playground.
I've been to the deeper parts of the internet. I do not run into porn unless I want to. There's more chance of her forgettting to knock, and catching me and her mother at it.
I stumped up the cash for a 32GB Samsung Class 10 for my S2 and haven't been dissapointed.
There's no real need to save videos and images straight to the card, so I use it as a media store. Through a USB cable, I'm able to stream 1080p XVID to the TV, so it's plenty fast enough.
The S3 will come and go before my contract runs out. I think I'll wait for the S4....
I guessed what you were talking about. I clicked the 'parent' link just to be sure.
I browse at +3, like most people here do. How are you even seeing these CMPC posts? Even at +1, you would not see them.
TheArseBandit, or whatever he's calling himself today, posts early and gets modded early as a result. Slashdot's modding system is working as intended.
I don't understand why people are getting their knickers in a twist. We've seen this behavour before. We've ignored it before. We've made funnies about it before.
And it is funny. It's like trying to sell colour TVs to the blind.
You know, I'm one of those dicks at works that has the yellow hat, torch and that fine status of Fire Warden (feel my power).
You've got three minutes.
I've seen endless videos where the first flame is seen and the stopwatch is started. Even on fire retardant furniture, the legal norm here, you have three minutes before you're unconscious from the smoke. There's no placing a wet towel over your head, you are already dead from the smoke. Smoke. Dead. Three minutes.
Get out. Don't be a sheep and follow everyone - nearest exit is what you need. Don't be a mindless drone and leave by the same door you entered in the morning (human nature) - the nearest exit is what you need.
As for saving stuff - you'll get more stuff. Leave it. Fuck it all. You have three minutes.

Needed for hill-starts in a manual.
I haven't seen one in years, but they used to operate via a stronger metal cable, not the hydrolics.
When my daughter was three, she was copying words out of children's story books into Google.
They're not stupid.

Ask someone who's worked in an English machine shop: it's called a "thou" :)
"mil" is short for millimetre. e.g. I'd like that part machined to 2.56 mil.
No one spoke in fractions, feet, yards, or furlongs, only inches.
Get off my metric lawn.
Nice post.
:)
I would suggest that using the handwheels for precision is a big no-no though. We liked our magnetic vernier measuring thingies for a reason.

Light is wires.
Yes. Yes. Light uses wires. I can see it now, through the wires.
There are people who are happy to share their lives. There are people who are not happy to share their lives.
I propose we call these people extroverts and introverts.
I never witnessed that.

I'm sure it must happen to everyone, everywhere.
I'm not sure that'll work, but here goes:
Dupe.

To be fair, its more than a day or two. But only 2 weeks ago.
True. True.

I'm not the AC.
Without the Card Security Code (CSC) on the back, all that information would be useless. The CSC is not stored digitally on the card.
Cloning wouldn't work either. My Chip 'n PIN would stop that.
Tard.
Yes! Summer is finally here!
Those 90% have already asked me how to access TPB.
I only have nine links to give them.
Nine.
I think you're confused. My post, with my complete lack of interest, is not there to prove or disprove your rantings about AdBlock.
I get no joy from provoking emotional responses on the internet. Your response actually made me shed a tear. All that typing on Slashdot for fuck all.
#No one cares
Stick that in your newly invented hosts file.
I think you forgot the CleanMyPC.com links at the end.
I've dropped my S2 on to hard laminate flooring more than once. No damage.
It's just over 6 months old, lives in my pocket (no coins or keys), no protective cover, not a single scratch.
I'm sure they are breakable, but I know they can take some abuse.
I stumped up the cash for a 32GB Samsung Class 10 for my S2 and haven't been dissapointed.

Oh no; there were no MCPC spams, only Goatse, ACSII porn and GNAA.
Slashdot has become a bad habit. The wife you fuck because it's better than doing without. The car with a slow puncture. The onion in a bag of apples.
Don't feed the trolls. They're fat and need to lose weight.
No one cares. We've been through this a gajillion times in the past ten years. Spammers and trolls on Slashdot aren't new.
Ignore them or have some fun replying for the +5 Funny.
You must be able to see the funny side? It's like trying to sell hair dye to a bald person.
