Buying Macs is going to stop or slow down hack attempts of the US military? I doesn't matter what OS they use, someone is always going to try and hack the military. That may work for normal users sence Macs are such a small target market wise,but i dont see it changing anything for the military.
I agree with everything you say,any choice dealing with spam is a bad one.I thought i would look at it from a different perspective,that said i personally think going after spammers is a waste of time really. I mean Ive been on the internet for only 13 years, spamming has gotten much worse even with better spam blocking tech. I think its really time to start going after who is hiring these spammers.Not an easy thing to do, but it may be easier then trying to find the spammers
A spammer doesn't have a job if he doesn't have clients selling there wares.
Is a person stupid because they buy meds online through spam at better then 1/2 it costs getting it at the drug store? I personally would never buy meds online from spam or anything else. But what about the millions of people that don't have a good health care plan or very low income. It seams to me a good financial decision to buy drugs oline from spammers if you are low income or no health care at all don't ya think?
How hard is it to include in the text of the law " theses requirements are for the protection of children under the age of 18 only" or something very close? Everywhere except the internet is pornography regulated.Can any of this material be bought or seen without an age requirement in our stores? The adult books are behind counters and have brown wrappers covering them,and forget trying to get into an adult book store.
We also have web sites that portray them selfs as art sites,safe for children so they say,like deviantart. But allow children as young as 13 the option to view mature content on there site. This mature content, there so called Artistic Nudity Gallery and Fetish Gallery is loaded with explicit posing,actual sex acts,simulated sex acts,homosexuality,lesbianism. I have seen beer cans inserted in female genitalia and tons of erections.
Deviantart has NO control over the content that is uploaded by there members,and can take more then a week to remove violations if at all. What should be done about web sites that obviously allow underage children to view this kind of content. Granted you must be a member to view mature content tagged material, but alot of content is uploaded that is mature content that is not marked with a mature content tag, Accidentally or on purpose.
Why isn't a site like this forced to remove or even allowed to give that option to children?? When i was a teen the only porn i could get my hands on was if i found it outside by the railroad tracks or down by the river. The mens magazines were always behind the counters in a brown wrapper.
looks like they have a similar TOS also
the Content is not obscene, libelous or defamatory (more info on what that means), hateful or racially or ethnically objectionable, and does not violate the privacy or publicity rights of any third party; and
Dont ya think that if LJ is a US company,they are bound by the US laws concerning drawing,which have changed that it is against the law to depict minors having sex with anyone of any age. Ignorance of the law as far as i know is not an excuse that has been held up in any court in the US.
Being a minority and handicapped is not speech. Anyways he is right you don't have any rights on any web site except for what the TOS allows. I suggest creating ones own website and fight for your freedom of speech with there own dime,not someones Else's dime. And theres another problem also,i don't now of any ISP that will host pro pedophilia content. Even web sites like LJ is still hosted by some ISP and can be shut down for hosting illegal content.
It may be ok in some states for a 19 yr old to have sex with a 17 yr old. But in alot more states its against the law. And i want proof they ruined innocent mens and womens lives, not just you stating it.When where and how.
You must be a pedo,why else would you do something so stupid against a group that fights against adults that seek out minors for sexual reasons. Your the hate monger,not them. I have seen what a pedo can do to a child's life, its devastating.
Hmmmmm,I use IE and i don't see any ads. Matter of fact Ive had an ad free IE long before no ads was an option on foxfire. This is what i am using now,its very good.

This sound like a good idea for convicted sex offenders,child molesters. But under the skin wouldn't do,maybe somewhere deep up there ass somewhere where they couldn't dig it out easily. Or how about for our troops on the combat field,they would hopefully be found before them scum kill or behead them.
Just my 2 cents
Just a question,just why would windows have to change for a browser that has less then 1% market share?? And its computers that have around a 5% total market share? Your comment just doesnt make any sence!
"But really, who benefits from these odd changes? Apple gets whatever for selling the phone, but then AT&T is the one locking you into data contracts and such"
By having an exclusive contract with ATT, you don't think apple isn't getting more then just the cost of the phone?? Just how does an exclusive contract make it better for customers??
To think that apple didn't know about all this stuff is ridiculous,remember it was apple that wanted only one carrier. Apple could have opted to make the phone usable with all the carriers, which would be much better for customers. Apple and ATT are using/hoping the Apple fanboys and girls just have to get one no matter what the plan is. Non fanboys will see the contract for what it is, just too expensive and much better options out there. Smart people buy plans not phones
How about lost advertisment income,they did have to shut down the web site to fix it,that is actual damage along with the employees time to fix the problem. He got what he had coming to him its just lucky for him he didnt have to do jail time.
"Have you ever tried to burn a CD out of the box on Winblows? Oh wait... you need to spend $90 on Nero??? Even then, it takes 100MB of RAM and 2 hours to actually _find_ the "burn" option. For all the people that complain about options in KDE, there are about 20 times as many in Nero"
Thats a flat out lie, In XP you can burn anything just useing the system. Put CD in, Drag files to CD,BURN. How easy it that?? If you want features "then" you should get nero or what ever buring program.
I see you guys say you have had hassles installing drivers in windows. Being a "normal user" i have never had a problem installing drivers,they install just like programs do, just click install. At worst it unzips to a temp folder then you just install from there
How can it read the contents of the news.google.com if i have never been there?? I only use google to search not anything else?? what am i missing here?
What about the server owners? do they have a choise of serving the ads or not serving the ads? Sence 99% of the servers are rented by Gamers do they get a cut of the profits sence its there server its getting served on??

No,that only stops people like you from harassing them at home,you can post on there site if you so choose as long as you are not stupid about it.

I'm kinda going to say something simular that they say on Digg, no picture never happened.
