Yes. Echoing the statements of many people throughout history. According to Locke there are three major natural rights (as in rights given to everyone at birth simply because they are human)
Life- everyone is entitled to live once they are created. Liberty- everyone is entitled to do anything they want to so long as it doesn't conflict with the first right. Estate- everyone is entitled to own all they create or gain through gift or trade so long as it doesn't conflict with the first two rights.
OK, then I'm going to punch you in your face. It doesn't threaten your life (I won't punch that hard), therefore rule 1 doesn't apply, and therefore rule 2 tells me I'm entitled to do it.
"Any kind of IT product should be able to communicate with any type of service in the future."
What does that even mean?
I guess it means that services should be accessible using standardized protocols, and IT products should either implement all relevant protocols, or allow plugins or other software to be installed which adds support for those protocols.
Personally I started having stability issues with Firefox 3 (it hardly ever crashed on me before). I guess you don't have your Firefox open for weeks (and yes, several crashes have been in the night or over weekend when I wasn't touching it for quite some time, and without any active plugin content).
The bigest force actually working against this is the evangelical right, which usually sees no difference between a Girls Gone Wild video and Underaged Wet Mule Sodomizers part 83.
Of course they can't see the difference. To see it, they would have to watch it.:-)
Even without the filtering, giving up an well-established domain name isn't something you'd do without need. You'd break all links to it, all bookmarks to it, and people who know the old URL might miss the information about the new one.
> -It is stupid to expect all porn to go to ".xxx".
Why should pornographers want to hide themselves? Really.
It's not about pornographers hiding themselves. Actually many pornographers will set up an.xxx domain as alternative to their existing.com domain. What they will not do is to give up their existing.com domain, which their customers know, which are likely linked from somewhere, and which are not so easy to filter.
They've been trying to get a.xxx domain for a long time, but I couldn't figure out why. The porn industry opposes it, the people who oppose the porn industry oppose it, and tech people generally oppose it. Took me a while to realize it was only some registrars who wanted some extra cash who kept bringing it up.
My question is, why did ICANN finally relent? Were they bribed? Did they just become impatient over the issue that they've said 'no' to for over a decade? Is it possible to get anything passed through ICANN if you just ask enough times? Why is ICANN supporting this blatant rent-seeking?
Next: A TLD ".pirate" reserved to pirating sites. Makes it easier for the **AA to find the people to sue.:-)
Slashdot Mirror
Of course, here on Slashdot, an English lanuage site, it would have been a good idea to directly link to the English version of the page.
Do you mean a Non-Printable Character, a Non-Player Character, or maybe even a National Paralympic Committee? :-)
And for those who are also too lazy to manually go to 7:34, this link jumps right to that position.

The difference between civil and criminal law definitively exist in Germany, which doesn't have Common Law.

Moderators, please RTFA.
I often leave Firefox open for literally weeks at a time. Well, provided it survives as long. It seldom crashes in the first week, though.

GNU Cash? Cash you can legally copy? Yes, that should help with any budget problems. :-)
Detect also the other zodiac signs?
Not always. Some have an optical view finder just like the analog mirror-less cameras had.
Aristotle was a student of Plato
Wait a minute, those people were real?
Even more, they were rational!
"Think of the children" obviously already worked back then.
You misunderstand. The errors are not really errors. They are part of the secret kdawson code.
The word 'loose' actually well applied in a /. post? I can't believe my eyes!
Well, he probably wanted to write "lose" there, but made a typo. :-)
You forgot the most important TLD: .evil
Probably one of the requirements of this domain is that any servers set the evil bit.
Unless you actually have a file ending in .xxx, the shell will not swallow the *.
See the following (copy/pasted from a real bash session):
Of course they can't see the difference. To see it, they would have to watch it. :-)

Ever heard of sampling bias?
I know what it means, but mainly because I read Slashdot.
Just wait for facebook.xxx :-)
Although, I guess faces isn't exactly what .xxx visitors want to see ...

Besides, at $60 a domain, when a dot.com is $10, that's obscene!
Well, obscenity is to be expected for that domain. :-)
