Yeah instead of looking at pr0n they will have to go make some themselves. So really blocking access after 9:30 would harm society. You just have to think creativly.
The Case of Mumia Abu Jamal (note that since this was written Mumia's sentance was overturned and he is now spending life in prison)
by Terry Bisson from New York Newsday, 1995
In 1978, Philadelphia Mayor (and ex-police chief) Frank Rizzo blew up at a press conference, threatening what he called "the new breed" of journalists. "They [the people] believe what you write and what you say," said Rizzo, "and it's got to stop. One day--and I hope it's in my career--you're going to have to be held responsible and accountable for what you do."
What the "new breed" was doing in 1978, and is still doing today, was exposing police misconduct. A cop had been killed in a confrontation between Philadelphia police and the radical MOVE organization (the same MOVE that was fire-bombed by the city seven years later), and the police version of who shot first hadn't been accepted without question. Rizzo feared a new trend, and he was right.
The trend has continued. Today, the Mollen Commission, the NYPD "party"in DC, the Rodney King case and hundreds of other local scandals have exposed the dark underside of police misconduct nationwide. Ironically, the most prominent of the "new breed" of journalists at whom Rizzo's outburst was directed is awaiting execution on Pennsylvania's Death Row, the victim--many believe--of a police frame-up.
Mumia Abu-Jamal began his journalism career with the Black Panther Party. The Panthers were the original "affirmative action" employer, and Mumia (then Wesley Cook) was Minister of Information for the Philadelphia chapter at age 15, writing for the national newspaper. A heady beginning for a West Philly kid. After the Panthers fell apart (helped by a stiff dose of FBI harassment) Mumia turned to broadcasting. He had the voice, the writing talent and the ambition, and by age 25, he was one of the top names in local radio, interviewing such luminaries as Jesse Jackson and the Pointer Sisters and winning a Peabody Award for his coverage of the Pope's visit. He was president of the Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists, called "one to watch" by Philadelphia magazine.
But Mumia was still a radical. The Philadelphia Inquirer called him "an eloquent activist not afraid to raise his voice," and this fearlessness was to be his undoing. His vocal support of MOVE's uncompromising life-style lost him jobs at Black stations, and he was forced to moonlight to support his family. The mayor's outburst marked the beginning of a campaign of police harassment that included such subtleties as a cocked finger and a 'bang bang' from a smirking cop, and escalated to a late-night police beating of Mumia's brother on the street.
Mumia was driving a cab that night. It is undisputed that he intervened. It is undisputed that both he and officer Daniel Faulkner were shot, and that Faulkner died. What is in dispute is who killed Faulkner. Mumia says it was someone else, and several witnesses saw another shooter flee the scene. Mumia's legally registered.38 was never decisively linked to Faulkner's wounds.
Mumia's murder trial was a policeman's dream. Denied the right to represent himself, he was defended by a reluctant incompetent who was later disbarred (and who has since filed an affadavit in Mumia's support detailing his delinquencies). Mumia was prosecuted by a DA who was later reprimanded for withholding evidence in another trial. He was allowed only $150 to interview witnesses.
But best of all was the judge. A life member of the Fraternal Order of Police, branded as a "defendant's nightmare" by the Philadelphia Inquirer, Judge Albert F. Sabo has sentenced more men to die (31 to date, only two of them white) than any other sitting judge in America. A fellow judge once called his courtroom a "vacation for prosecutors" because of bias toward convictions.
Sabo wouldn't allow Mumia to defend himself because his dreadlocks made jurors "nervous." Kept in a holding cell, he read about his own trial in the newspapers. A Black j

I wouldn't quite call him "a stand up guy." He has refered to himself as being much better than former senator paul wellstone, who was killed in a plane crash just weeks before the 2002 election, which coleman later won.
I don't even understand why he would want this. Its in his companies interest to have worms and viruses going aroudn because if there weren't any, nobody would need antivirus software.
Please don't tell me you REALLY don't get it this much. A few people will install linux. This is about piracy. I am not saying I have a problem with that but thats what its about. People need to stop pretending its about linux.
You are just not thinking about it the right way. It is for commercial use. He is making a fortune from all of his corperate freinds. The fact that he said computers of people that download music is enough to make him pay for the software. You think the RIAA got him to say that for free?
yeah but whats so bad about the first view. I would argue ultra high income taxes would probobly be beter but in principle whats so bad about helping people that loose their jobs. Workers of the world unite!

Thats actually a very deep and insightful comment in a stoner sort of way.
Hence the spyware in kazaa.
obviously the point was lost on you. It was a reference to 1984. It had nothing to do with Bush's ignorence.
THERE IS NO WAR ON TERRORISM!!! When will people realize this. More americans died in elevator accidents last year than terrorism!
Yeah she was in one of his campaign ads. It was disgusting. You don't use your 12 year old daughter in a campaign ad.
I wouldn't quite call him "a stand up guy." He has refered to himself as being much better than former senator paul wellstone, who was killed in a plane crash just weeks before the 2002 election, which coleman later won.
no, it would have burned.
Silancing him because he tells the truth?
I don't even understand why he would want this. Its in his companies interest to have worms and viruses going aroudn because if there weren't any, nobody would need antivirus software.
french email had enough space to hold all that warez.....oh wait thats something else.
Please don't tell me you REALLY don't get it this much. A few people will install linux. This is about piracy. I am not saying I have a problem with that but thats what its about. People need to stop pretending its about linux.
The simple fact is, that behind every bad decision in government, there is a person responsible.
Actually behind every bad decision, there is alot of money.
Are you admiting to reading all of those long messages when you install your software?
Thank you so much for restating EXACTLY what the poster said. You know, incase slashdot was slashdoted.
Which is why I use the gimp.
You are just not thinking about it the right way. It is for commercial use. He is making a fortune from all of his corperate freinds. The fact that he said computers of people that download music is enough to make him pay for the software. You think the RIAA got him to say that for free?
We could incorperate linux kernel code in the genome sequence but we may pick the wrong lines and get sued by SCO.
or maybe it could be called coffee millennium edition even though its really just an update.
I have you been drinking too much coffee?
I mean really, if it can't help me stay up all night coding whats the point?
yeah but whats so bad about the first view. I would argue ultra high income taxes would probobly be beter but in principle whats so bad about helping people that loose their jobs. Workers of the world unite!
