"After all, how does sexuality come into play on WoW? This shouldn't even be an issue and for those who need a MMORPG as an outlet for sexual expression there isn't much to be said in their favor."
So, all the fuck-tards wailing "fag" as an insult are going to disappear? Ditto the hateful "Don't get the AIDS!" bits when plague makes the rounds?
Existing is not a "sexual expression." GLBT people grouping together to play WoW in a better environment (vis a vis Guild chatter, etc) is not like sodomizing each other in the town square and is not a sexual expression.
Advertising for a gay-friendly guild is much the same as advertising for a guild for fans of Buffy, or tennis: but because it's "gay," everyone gets their knickers in a knot.
Eek.. I've never been called an idealist before...
What riled me really was this:
XO: I'm quite gay-friendly. XO: Gay people have a tendency to bring their persecution down upon themselves.
These two statements are really just ignorant. Swap "gay" with "jew", "black", "muslim" or "women."
His arguement is not that gay people deserve what harassment they get but that they should expect it and plan for it when in a homophobic environment.
Which is, by and large, how many gay people live anyway. However, getting from your statement (planning/anticipating a hostile environment) to XO's (calling it upon ourselves) is a stretch, and again, simply reveals ignorance. Especially for someone claiming to be "gay-friendly."
Gay people have a tendency to bring their persecution down upon themselves.
"LOOK AT ME!!!!! I'M GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Then they wonder why people think they are assholes.
Wow. You're an asshole. And you say you're gay-friendly, huh. Yeah, I'm not really getting that from your writing.
So, you're saying that those idjits who beat the snot out of some unfortunate faggot aren't to blame 'cause the poor fag was asking for it? Say, by looking a little effeminate? For wearing a leather vest? By walking on the street of a gay neighbourhood? Yeah, yeah, those bastards, fucking flaunting it by merely existing.
Seriously, fuck you and your "gay-friendly" bullshit.
The kid and adult then meet up, adult touches the kid, kid objects, adult leaves him alone, kid cries to mom, police gets involved and a media hype is born.
Frankly this sounds an awfull lot less nasty then the headlines make it out to be.
Exactly. I mean, this all reads like a creepy fag and a horny gay teenage boy. Which, duh, doesn't make it alright, but it's not in the same league as a guy hunting down, abducting and raping a 5 year old.
"Announcing Amazon Mechanical Turk (November 02, 2005) Today, humans still significantly outperform the most powerful computers at completing such simple tasks as identifying objects in photographs - something children can do even before they learn to speak. However,..."
I'm not familiar with the Google Video bit, but the rest definitely has merit. People slam the idea of opt-out in most every other arena - this is no different.. except that it's for the owners of copyrighted material.. those evil bastards. (snark)
Google, how about asking publishers for a list of books to scan?
It looks like the German service was registered in Germany.. you know, using Country TLD codes, and not a.com.. A lot of companies not in the US register their names with their country TLD, and not with.com.
Further, I guess the problem here is Google registering (or going to register) gmail.de, which is awfully close to the existing gemail.de, and likely to cause confusion with an existing trademark/service.
If Google had google.us, then there likely wouldn't be any dispute.. separate countries, separate businesses, etc.
So, "Dollars to donuts," I suspect the German firm didn't think about.com and now regrets it greatly.
"If you aren't commercial, you should be denied.com. If you aren't a non-profit, you should be denied.org. If you aren't an ISP or other infrastructure provider, you should be denied a.net."
And while you're at it, presuming you're an american, why not use your darned country TLD...com is a global namespace, no?.. sanity indeed
Maybe you should read TFA, especially if you're comparing them with a bunch of criminals..
What I've read of the Honeynet projects, they set up a network of easy marks and record and examine what traffic they receive. In the case of spammers/phishers, they blast their crap across the net already - it's not like the Honeynet is their only target or its existence is influencing when a phish-run is made.
It's not entrapment. It's research.

The "online rag" looks like a local weekly.. and seems to I dunno, quote sources. Is it less worthy 'cause you didn't see it in the New York Times?
Some sources from the article:
Ed Murray, a gay Democrat representing Capitol Hill and the prime sponsor of the bill, confirmed that Smith also told him about the pressure from Hutcherson during an awkward and at times heated March 29 conference call in which they discussed the company's decision to end its active support for the bill.
[Bradford L. Smith, Microsoft's senior vice president, general counsel, and corporate secretary] told members of GLEAM, the gay and lesbian employees group at Microsoft, that the company had switched its official stance to "neutral" on the bill, and took personal responsibility for the decision.
It's not the Gomery proceedings that required the publication ban. It would be the provincial court cases against Guite and others that are ongoing in Quebec right now.

Your mileage may vary.
the whole idea of gay parades, and gay days at theme parks, and such, is just ... silly.
HEY EVERYONE! I'M HETEROSEXUAL!!!!!
Well, duh.. you're in the prevailing/majority culture.. every day is hetero (and white, and male) day.
I bet your think those days celebrating women's rights or black civil rights are silly too, huh?
I'm quite gay-friendly.

Pack it in a box, tape it up, and write "I'm too fucking stupid to own a computer" on it

Liberal DRM is all well and good, but there are other download services that don't even have that.
I use http://www.trax2burn.com/ a fair bit -- it's focus is house music, but the mp3s are good quality and no there's DRM attached.
