"bringing Nazis or Hitler into an argument on a completely unrelated subject is the hallmark of weak debate skills and/or a weak case."
But it wasn't 'completely unrelated' since he said the relationship: both dealt with 'urgency'.
If you do not think that the comparison is accurate then you say so. If you think it was hyperbole since the world being destroyed by global warming isnt as urgent as the Nazi threat was then make your arguement.
"It's the same relationship that leaders of other countries have with state owned stations."
You do know the BBC is 'state owned' right? State owned means independence in many cases.
Like the CBC in Canada, the BBC has guarenteed funding so they can say what ever they want (no one laid off because of low profits). If the government tried to silence them but cutting funding there would be a public outcry. As well since these stations are government owned, they have to 'prove' to the public they are not beholden to the government by attacking the government itself!
"The best news agency I've run across is the BBC. The days of the so called free press in AMerica are gone."
What's even sadder is the BBC is OWNED by the government, and they are more 'truthful' and attack the government more then privately owned companies that are chickenshit.

"There is plenty of porn out there that depicts 18 - 19 year olds as being
much younger (or so I here), are these kind of images also illegal and
considered child porn?"
Humans go though puberty at about 11-13, yet we are not suppose to be attracted
to people in this age group since 1 million years of evolution is simply wrong,
very very wrong, and evil.
As for your question, anything under 19 should be illegal, including 19 year
olds in the privacy of their own home having sex.
This should especially be illegal:
Cupidon.
Art is a no-no.
Child pornography probably doesn't encourage people to go out and molest
people, just like watching an action movie probably doesn't make a majority of
people go out and start killing people.
The problem though is that child pornography may increase child abuse since it
can encourage *the creators* to make more of it if they are paid for it. On the
other hand it might also discourage child abuse as pedophiles relieve their
sexual energy on the smut instead of on real children.
To further muddy the water there is also drawings, which no real person is being
harmed, that tried to be outlawed in America but the Supreme Court struck it
down. Examples are Shota and
Lolicon.
Vigilantism could work, just have them cut off all their penises, or for woman
their breasts.
Also the sick species of Bonobo
Chimps should be wiped out since those animals fuck each other, even adult /
child sexual intercourse. Such a sick fucking world we live in, we must
reject anything that is disgusting or different from us and make it extinct.
"I like this approach, it makes you think about what you say. Maybe some emails shouldn't be sent. If you have to worry about it, you shouldn't do it."
Good point, or if you do use a psudonym, or post under a public computer, or use anonymous publishing applications to post your ideas.
They will use it even more after gmail comes out. The problem with Yahoo Groups as it is now is that if the groups you are signed up to has a lot of traffic your 4meg (6meg for non US accounts) account gets swamped.
However that problem is solved since you can use your gmail account to subscribe to yahoo groups by sending a message to the subscribe address (i.e. baseball-talk-subscribe@yahoogroups.com ). No more bouncing email addresses, no need to leave outlook or outlook express et al on 24/7 to make sure your email doesn't get over stuffed. I think gmail will be great.
Kazaa alone can be held responsible for almost half of those infections I
think.
That is why you uninstall Kazaa and install an open source alternative that
can go into the FreeTrack network, Gnutella, and Open FreeTrack (Open FT), the
alternative being: Kceasy and their
sourceforge website. The
only trouble I see with this software is that the developer went from 0.9 to
0.10 to 0.11:p.
Also get rid of eDonkey and get eMule
here or from their sourceforge
website.

Even if he did not have the authority to do so, he had the ability to speak and preform actions on the company's behalf. Just as if he were to have engaged in contracts in the past as part of his job function and did so again, even though the company did not specifically authorize it for that specific time, they would still be on the hook to live up to the contract's obligations. This is to prevent companies from claiming 'oh, he didn't work for us' to shoot down contracts they engaged in and no longer want to honour.
Their recourse would be to sue him, as the employee, if he was not acting in good faith with regards to the company.
So as it with contracts and other behaviour in the name of the company it is with releasing that code for WASTE.
"This sounds bad but we've already had good success in performing quantum key exchanges (that are unbreakable in a theoretical sense). "
That is for exchanging keys securely at a distance, for secure communication. i.e. the message is destroyed if someone tries to evesdrop on the conversation. Shor's algorithm will still shread current encryption to pieces.
Even more interesting is that if the government, or anyone else, was smart they'd collect all the communcations that are 'secured', or people think they are secured, now and store them until the day quantum computing becomes useful and decode all the goodies.
Are Terms of Service, or license agreements on software, actually binding?
What if they put "by agreeing to this you owe us $1,000,000", i'd be out a lot of money since I never read them.

Get a public news broadcaster, America.

"used by the vigilantes"
Vigilantism could work, just have them cut off all their penises, or for woman their breasts.
Also the sick species of Bonobo Chimps should be wiped out since those animals fuck each other, even adult / child sexual intercourse. Such a sick fucking world we live in, we must reject anything that is disgusting or different from us and make it extinct.
"Im not so sure Id want such an extensive robot so open to potential attacks/interference."
You mean you would much rather have a human security guard that can be blackmailed, bribed and bought off.

"If you've got a trust-nobody mentality..."
Then what the hell are you doing signing up to use a Free email service, or for that matter being on the internet to begin with?
If you do not trust google, then you really shouldn't trust hotmail or yahoo either.

"Well, obviously you adjust your encryption to what you think people will be throwing at it. That goes without saying."
How are you going to adjust your encryption when quantum computers will make most encryption schemes obsolete?
