I had this idea a while ago, only it is online and the website provides you instructions how to make a decent cup of coffee to drink while you download ripped music.;)
Spoon boy: Do not try and avoid reading the review. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth. Neo: What truth? Spoon boy: There is no review. Neo: There is no review? Spoon boy: Then you'll see, that it is not the review that disappears, it is only yourself.
While I would definitely be keen on being paid $500 per "Enlarge your member" emails received, I somehow doubt the effectiveness of legislation to stop spam...
Cell site call logs were used in a NZ murder trial, which helped convict a dude of murder. It's not quite the tracking being discussed (as a specific phone call was needed to show that he had been in a certain area)....
"The analysis showed that Lundy's 5.30 pm call from his wife and daughter, which went through the Petone cellphone transmitter, finished close to 5.38 pm. He made his next call at 8.29 pm. "
ok. no offense to the game writers (it looks like a cool game), but if I so much as glimse a clippy then my blood pressure rises, and I see quite clearly how someone can suddenly turn into a psychopathic killer. Which may help me playing the game of course, but then again, I might finally lose it.:)
Dude. Firstly, you would have no way of setting boundaries to this. (I guess the suicide one would be easiest to pick) but because you don't necessarily have a context, you don't necessarily know what a site is saying (ie. you know it's a joke because you are in a comedy bar...).
Why limit it to those? Murder is missing from the list - pretty important I would have thought. In fact, let's just narrow it down to sites that encourage sin. Oh, so you have a different opinion? hmm. so do a billion other people...
it's just another attempt to gain some control/power...
who's gonna decide if it's hate speech or not... really... the EC has daft enough rules as it is (Cheddar cheese has to come from Cheddar and Devonshire teas from Devonshire...)... Soon you'll probably get arrested for having a website saying Pepsi sux.
I can just imagine that in a few years time, we'll have the same issues at the movies...
me: Hi, I want one ticket to that new Natalie Portman movie.
movie guy: Uh. Sorry sir, you are only allowed to specify the number of the cinema and the time it's playing.
me: Ok, where do I find that out?
movie guy: Sorry, we are not at liberty to publish that information because it gives away the titles of the movies.
True, but as CS grad who's had "exposure to pointers and dynamic memory allocation and non-garbage collected languages" isn't necessarily gonna know what malloc() is...

Excellent idea...
Bluff the world... Say you have an invisible navy - no one will be able to disprove it! Everyone will think Sweden is the next superpower...
The fastrack to world peace.
Hmm...
Well, they always said, "Gigs will never fly".
It's nice to see the NZ govt making some sensible laws for a change :)
:)
We/NZ have excellent consumer rights laws and this is a nice polishing touch
Now if only they hadn't giving in to the movie industry and stopped parallel importing of DVDs (GRRRR)
No Way!

"...the victim's accounts..."

It's nice to see people are finally realising that Passport/Hotmail users are victims.

Even more scary... We won't know about it, because we won't have any news to tell us!

It would make an awesome Movie... "The Strangelets", by say, Stephen King :)
You are correct. The carrier pigeons one is in fact quite true.
The sample press release with names altered out from that vendor hype article actually belongs to TrueAdvantage :)

Hmm.. or you are part of the minority of ppl who still write C ;b

Seriously, Java is being taught nowadays and that ain't need no malloc

Yeah. I used them for a while - very self-gratifying. However it started taking up tons of my time so I've gone back to deleting spam...
Spam sux.
