Don't be stupid. Are you seriously fighting for censorship for pre-pubescant children who have little judgement of their own, when internet paedophilia is rife? God, I'd hate to be your children "Darling, if you're ever upset, and you want to talk to me, ask yourself 'Will Mummy and Daddy use this knowledge against me, for insurance premium purposes?'"
Yes, but I don't get porn over IM. Well OK, I don't get porn I didn't ask for over IM.
I just feel sorry for all those old Korean Women, who are constantly being sent e-mails with english text they don't understand, and pictures of pills and some naked guy with a photoshopped penis. Must be a great way for them to experience Western culture.
Yeh, or something the world can spare, like, ooo, I don't know.....a melted down blob of AOL demo CDs? Or George Bush, pre-frozen in carbonite? Or Paris?
Yes, plenty of places do. Big computer stores will place orders for that amount if they find it worth while. PC World for example, here in the UK, will prefer to make a bulk order and re-distribute.
It can't really affect evolution because they've only transplanted the organs. Until they transplant the genetic code for the synthesis of the organs, the actual traits wont be passed on to offpsrings.
It's like saying if old people had children, would the kids have titanium hip joints?
TV piracy isn't as big as the pre-release leaks are far less common, and so by the time it comes out on torrent etc., the big fans have already seen the programmes.
Plus, downloading a film means you don't have to trek to the cinema. Downloading a TV show means you don't have to press the button on the remote.
Erm, I fail to see how that's an argument. Just because you've got a hot side to cool doesn't mean it's a poor idea. A Prescott processor from Intel runs at an incredible temperature, how's cooling this any different from cooling the warm side of a peltier? Yes, you'll destroy your TEC if your cooling solution fails, but you'd crash before damaging your CPU, and you could apply that argument to any cooling sysyetm - if your CPU fan fails then you'll crash just the same.
Oh and I submitted this story two days ago and had it rejected.*Sigh*
Oh I see, as soon as the story's about Linux we provide google caches because we don't want to/. the site that promotes our beloved OS into submission?
But where would you draw the line? By that rule institutions couldn't route packets and computers behind them couldn't have unique IP addresses. Networks would fall apart. And you can't just let some computers spoof because they say it's for legitimate packet routing, while not others.
I guess AOL could just ban all packet spoofing, nobody runs a network off that, and we'd say bye bye to all the spoofing kiddies.
Hey, the 3 way handshake works for establishment, and it'd solve this problem if we implemented it for disconnections.
x wishes to close connection, y checks this by sending random bits and a check request, x sends these bits back to ensure that it really is x wishing to close it, and voila.
Actually, some people coming back to their homes and settle down, those mostly old people who do not care if they die today or tomorrow. important is to die at home.
I wonder if they know what a death from radiation poisoning is really like?
"Even Neal Stephenson, who was at the forefront of real technological future SF with The Diamond Age and Snow Crash has gone backward with Quicksilver and to a lesser extent Cryptonomicon."
I presume you mean he's gone backwards on a time style, rather than backwards in the less literal sense of that he's lost his talent.
It's a pretty misleading statement; The implication that Quicksilver, a hefty yet thoroughly interesting and educational book about the evolvation of science in the 17th/18th century is backwards SF isn't fair.

If microsoft gave you a video editing suite they'd probably get suit for it. Monopolisation if you do, lack of features if you don't.
Private agencies are out to make profits. BBC has no adverts. It has no reason to support any partners (due to a lack of them) and hence lack of bias.
Why not close all of BBC's TV channels? We've got UK Gold haven't we?

Would be a damned good way to help them in the browser wars as well.

Reminds me of the good old leper joke.
No no no, that's the mediocre leper joke. The funny leper joke is:
What's green and melts in the mouth?
A leper's penis.
In his case, I suspect the filters are human.
Or the closest anyone could be to human doing a job consisting of deleting 300,000 e-mails about how small their penises are.
Half of me hope they're female and so wont be able to relate. The other half of me worries they're female and might start to.
What if people start to advertising things with sex? Like using penises like billboards? Do we have to watch?
In court? Were they wallhacking or something?

Interesting that they would choose two lossy media formats as models for comparison
Which makes them such good examples; despite the fact they aren't the best of the bunch, they've conquered all to become the standard

/. takes no prisoners, what's happening?!?

He has quietly worked with vendors during that time helping them come up with a solution
So quietly that he told an anonymous coward.

There's this one buy this Scandinavian guy....
It's just as good as Windows, but with less blue screens and price tags....
