So using the word "cult" is not insulting or offensive, so he gets away... well, good for him, but that's the wrong principle. Freedom of speech is serious business, damnit! Everyone must have the right to insult and offend and wipe the butt clean on the holy books of every damn religion out there.
largely this is for sites related to child pornography.
[tinfoilhat] That's what they claim... [/tinfoilhat] Seriously, I recall a story about someone analyzing one of those block lists and most of them were completely harmless?
Indeed, for many years [Taiwan] was considered "China" by much of the west.
Time for the obligatory Ayn Rand quote...
There is no margin for error about a monstrosity that was created for the alleged purpose of preventing wars by uniting the world against any aggressor, but proceeded to unite it against any victim of aggression. The expulsion of a charter member, the Republic of China [Taiwan] -- an action forbidden by the U.N.'s own Charter -- was a 'moment of truth,' a naked display of the United Nations' soul. What was Red China's qualification for membership in the U.N.? The fact that her government seized power by force, and has maintained it for twenty-two years by terror. What disqualified Nationalist China [Taiwan]? The fact that she was a friend of the United States. It was against the United States that all those beneficiaries of our foreign aid were voting at the U.N. It was hatred of the United States and the pleasure of spitting in our face that they were celebrating, as well as their liberation from morality -- with savages, appropriately, doing jungle dances in the aisles.
Worse thing is that they're so attached to what might be the reason of their socioeconomic inferiority. Not saying it's all about islam, though, the west only truly advanced after its own leading faith was put on the back-burner, becoming a private matter rather than a political force.
As I understand it, both AOL and Yahoo have more IM users than MS does
Depends where you look. Here in Brazil, for example, everyone uses MSN (usually the official client -- a security minefield and a disgraceful interface). And there was some story here, I recall, about how ICQ was still the leader at some countries.

Microsoft *is* what it is, it hasn't changed. Only difference is now we're getting used to it and might even have limited alternatives available to us.
Perhaps more like: we were used to it, and failed to consider the alternatives. But now people are starting to open their eyes...
The common view of this matter in Brazil and Portugal is: the denonym from one from the United States of America is indeed "americano" (denonyms are lowercase in the Portuguese language). However, "America" refers to the whole continent, not just a country.
Spanish-speakers, on the other hand, tend to be a bit touchy about that denonym, according to Wikipedia
If, by "balls", you mean they made it awfully crude and cranked up the mixer so loud that the drums get lost in the wall of sound and everything sounds like noise rather than music... then yes, it has "balls". There's nothing enticing or enjoyable about that, mind you. There's no hint of classic metal in their sound anymore, just loads of regurgitated nu-metal. This is not rock, it's just shit.

No, you got it backwards. The aforementioned farce was when Microsoft did a corrupted implementation of Java.
That's utter nonsense. David Miscavige could never do that. Everyone knows he only gets an erection when he kills a puppy.
...stop humping the world's newest, most powerful "laser".
...now "integrate" a gamepad that is not an anti-ergonomic piece of shit, will ya?
...eciton dluow enoyna
...the existence of God is NOT.
But would there be a red China at all if it wasn't for the pinks in the USA?
The logical next step is a CD-firing weapon... oh, wait, that's been done before.

Aw, man, that's animal cruelty.
No, it didn't. It did the leap just fine, and the shark did not touch it.
And Mac OS 8 would STILL have the best interface.
In Soviet Russia, a grue is likely to be eaten by YOU!!

It's more like: people who have a clue about computers, anywhere, dislike Microsoft's junk.
