The problem with that is that you then get people firing someone because they are black, female, gay etc. Its the employees who suffer most of the consequences, especially at times or high unemployment and in low skilled jobs.
Lots of nations would block.gay. Lots of nations would block everything from.gay to.christian to.xxx
ON the other hand they might decide to allow them as it would make blocking easier. ISPs have transparent proxies and are given a list of sites to block. How much easier if you just list a tld to block lots of domains?
Actually, one reason you have it is because you are paying for the OS.
Why do you think PCs with Linux pre-installed sell for the same price as Windows ones? The cost of the Windows license is offset by the income from bloatware.
Consumers may not like it, but will they pay extra for a bloatware free PC?
If if is OK to only consider the interests of your own country, then it follows that it is OK to invade other countries to loot them, enslave the people (or clear them out to make room for a colony) etc.
The world is filled with pretty much the same sort of people. You are not going to find more altruists in the same city as you as in the rest of the world. If you are only going to be altruistic to perfect altruists, you will never be altruistic.
It is fairly simple to prove that outsourcing is not the zero sum game. The argument is exactly the same as for any import of export. Google for "Riccardian Comparative Advantage".
Of course, if you are going to argue for less globalisation for political reasons I might even agree with you, but from a purely economic point of view it creates more wealth overall. The problem are with its effects on the distribution of wealth and on the power that accrues to those able to operate globally.
It might be more reassuring to look at the story. The court had a choice between ruling this way, or ruling that all advertising of astrology and similar are banned.
The ruling is based on a supreme court decision that the courts could not block universities from teaching astrology courses.
Its not good that universities teach rubbish, or that said nonsense is advertised, but having the courts deciding the content of university courses would be worse.
It is not just Indian universities that teach nonsense. AT least one British university offered a homoeopathy course for a while.
There are a number of services like this such as Mail Grid, Elastic Email and Postmark. I have not heard that an of them are responsible for huge volumes of spam.
Of course, Amazon getting into the business is not good news for any of them.
Yes, because lots of people were spending their lives on Facebook and MSN messenger in 1990. You need to realise that geeks may have spent hours online twenty years ago, most people barely used the internet at all.
If you read what he actually said, rather than the usual Slashdot summary on another site, it can be summed up as do not get so obsessed with life online that it distracts you from what you should do in real life, witness your faith but do not proselytise rudely or insensitively, and, do not construct a self-indulgent fake persona.
If you have a mobile internet connection it should work from your hotel or conference centre or anywhere else. Its also backup in case your ADSL or office network fails.
I do that, and its not even expensive, and has pretty good coverage (although its slow in some remote areas). Given that I live in a third world country there is something badly wrong if Americans cannot get the same.
Its impossible to say. This is a summary that covers every political issue on which the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has an opinion. There is a single paragraph on the internet, which ends with a single sentence on net neutrality:
True net neutrality is necessary for people to flourish in a democratic society.
In the context of the previous sentence it sounds as though they want both internet access for the poor and for all who want to use the internet to publish material to have the opportunity. The latter is implies network neutrality.
I suspect that those bishops who understand the issue are in favour of network neutrality. They probably pushed for the inclusion of that sentence while those who did not understand the issue would not have had any reason to oppose it. After all, who other than big telecoms companies would have a reason to oppose network neutrality?
The bits get stuck if the copper does not point the right way. Low quality cables also cause bits to degrade which means that they will obviously not sound the same as the near perfect bits that have passed though Monster cables.
Nine out of ten Monster customers confirm that good cables sound better than cheap cables.
The other 10% confirm that bits are happier travelling through Monster cables and they are therefore more ethically acceptable.
Please note that if you are reading this over anything other than an audiophile quality ethernet cable you will not be able to understand it properly and will therefore think its all nonsense. Please try a better quality cable to understand properly.
To put it another way, US regulation is good enough to deter people from selling a dodgy investment (and it is dodgy - the structure is an attempt to circumvent normal rules) to Americans.
I am no fan of many aspects of the regulatory system in the US, but this shows its strengths.
If they are not doing CS, why would they need to know how to use the command line?

That was my immediate reaction. I use XFCE, but I still use Konqueror and Kwrite for browsing remote files systems and editing files on them because they work much better.
KDE is not as much of a memory hog as it is reputed to be. It depends on what you install and how you configure it.
Never used one, but I am pretty sure that most dating services, at least online ones, will match gays as well. Its just one extra piece of data needed.

Christianity per se is anti-materialistic.
To receive absolution you have to repent. If you really repent of having bought a status symbol you would give it away.
If you gave all your money to the poor, as Jesus commanded, you would not afford an I Phone.
The problem with that is that you then get people firing someone because they are black, female, gay etc. Its the employees who suffer most of the consequences, especially at times or high unemployment and in low skilled jobs.

Why would you want to avoid offending fundamentalists?
The other article is about government regulation to reduce restrictions on internet access, not to impose them.
Given that governments have been censoring the internet successfully for some time, why is this a surprise to anyone?

NO it does not. It makes him very clever.
Look at how much publicity he is getting. He got even Slashdot to mention his spring collection.
To put it another way, astrology, like all the best lies is built on a kernel of truth.

The journos at The Economist sill think "open source" = "written by volunteers"
It's nice if you have such an option and I understand why you would prefer it, but there is no inherent right to it.
There is an inherent right to do what you want with your own hardware, which is taken away by government grants of monopolies ("patents").
