From the report : "He generated this list by collecting all 797 results from Google in response to an October 2001 web search using the search criteria "free adult sex," less two pages removed because they were found not to include sexually explicit images"
Wow, poor man had to check 797 sites to make sure they had pr0n. Where do you sign up to help?
They traded as Tandy here in the UK then all of a sudden shut down most of their stores. I just wish they'd re-open their branch in my hometown. Now I have to get all my components by mail order which is just dumb when all you want is a 555 and a few resistors.
If this is just one loose cannon spouting off then we should soon see a press release from the company disowning the comments. The wording of that will be worth reading - something tells me they won't be able completely to deny what was said for fear that it'll come back to haunt them later on when they do start copy-protecting CDs and not telling anyone.
I was thinking more of the sort of low-income families who need to spend all their income and can't afford to put some of it aside for a month while they read a book.
Depends on what the collateral is. If you're only going to allow people who can afford to pay for it to borrow books you might as well give up on the concept of public libraries. Then the Feds/terrorists/uncle tom cobley et al have won etc etc etc

Personally I get all my space-related facts from this
On a more serious level I like this site (yes, yes, I nicked the link from the BBC article but it is good)
