What's up with/.? For some reason we're flooded with all kinds of exaggerated stories (lately).
I don't think it's possible to prevent, you simply can't check all the details of a submitted story, but an update of the story would be a good thing.
Exactly my thoughts. This could help to expand your white list drastically by establishing a 'web of trust'. Plus it doesn't invade anyone's since it can't be can't be 'reverse-engineered'.
Or how about System Safety Monitor...
Everytime a program wants to start it will give you a notice and it keeps track of authorized programs through md5 checksums.
Great to prevent dll injections and keep your system clean. At least IMHO.
The European law was shepherded through the European Parliament by MEP Janelly Fourtou, wife of Jean-Rene Fourtou who is boss of media giant Vivendi Universal.
Nice to see that you can pass pas EU legislation by marrying the right person.
I agree with you that tyranny of the majority is not the most favourable of governementsystems. A fact however is that in order to have people life nicely toghether you need laws. Those laws should be based on the values that the majority cherishs.
One of these values in western society is freedom and equality.
One of these 'freedoms' is the freedom of religion; everybody should be able to practice the religion that he choses.
If majority the people of the United States want to forbid the Islam, this collides with their so much appreciated freedom. If they forbid the Islam and still want to hang on their other core value, equality than they should also forbid each other religion. A Christian majority ofcourse would never accept their religion to be outlawed, the only other option they have, while staying true to their principals is to also allow the Islam.
Majority rule is a bad idea, a couple of basic laws based on the values of the majority (AKA the constitution) is a necessity for a democracy.
No there is no difference between a description how to cook a human beeing for eating and in encouraging someone to go kill someone to eat. Both thing are unacceptable to most persons and in my opinion both should be outlawed. Publishing a human cookbook has nothing to do with freedom of speach. Freedom of speech is the right to have your own opinion about canibalism and discuss it, not practice it.
The details: A Dutch member of parliament has a salary of 7100 euro gross per month. The Socialist Party (SP) politicians give that to the party. The SP will return a part of the money to the politician: 1900 net plus 100 euro expenses per month.

Does GMail mail let you use an interface like Yahoos? Or do they 'arrogantly' deny us that choice?
Luckily for Internet Explorer suicide is not a crime anymore.
