Why not just link the original post from TorrentFreak? "Brief mention on Google News of a story covered by PC Authority of a post at TorrentFreak, that killed the rat, that ate the malt, that lay in the house that Jack built."
Well, I meant it as a throwaway statement saying that people are free to do what they want with their lives and their bodies as long as they don't cause harm or discomfort to others. And in terms of "fucking their own lives up", I'm speaking from personal experience. People I've known and been great friends with have travelled down uncertain paths that usually lands them in a great deal of pain. Can't really speak for the rest of the drug-taking population, as I'm not friends with a great deal of them.
And are you implying the laws as they stand are backwards and puritanical, or you're implying I'm backwards and puritanical? Since I'm Australian, not from the United States.
I'm straight edge. I don't smoke, nor even drink at all, or consume any other substances. (Unless caffeine in Coca-Cola counts.)
But, if other people want to consume these substances and fuck their own lives up, hey, be my guest. As long as they don't tread on my right to live a comfortable life. Even if drugs were legalized, it still doesn't mean their carry-on effects, such as murder, drink-driving, et cetera, are legal. And at least it means that if those drugs are available through government programs, it'll be taking away some of that money that drug lords are supposedly making, and pump billions more dollars back into the government.
Well, that's my 2 cents worth anyway. I'm sure someone will disagree with me.:P
Unfortunately, I'm with iiNet, one of the ISPs who has agreed to test out the filter, but only to show how worthless it is. (The CEO is an outspoken critic.) But since things are going to be tough for a while, I'll now be accepting donations through my Nigerian brother-in-law's bank account...
I remember talking to one of my teachers once and saying to him that creativity can't be taught. He disagreed and said creativity comes from pressure and deadlines. Not really anything to do with this article, but I thought it was an interesting point nonetheless...
Well, it's not that the Americans never share, but they usually do get to cut in line most of the time. Granted, the U.S. has 300 million people and Australia has 21 million, so we're kind of a low priority as it is anyway.
I noticed my iGoogle page changed very briefly the other day, but now it's back to normal... except now "Gmail" is called "Google Mail". Perhaps that's because I set the language to UK.:P (I'm Australian.)
Californication is censored, both language and nudity-wise, on YouTube. Normally for most programs it wouldn't matter, but it was the raunchy stuff that really propelled the comedy along in this case. Either have the full-length shows uncensored (possibly with a warning for moral individuals), or GTFO.

Isn't it mother lode, not motherload?

But it's not like implementing the filter temporarily is going to hurt anybody in the long term. It's just to prove a point.

At least if he ever gives lectures and they start to fall asleep, he can shoot lasers out of his eyeballs.
Imagine how jealous Kismet is going to be programmed to look.
These aircraft will be silent, but deadly?
Sorry, just had to sneak that in...
Has his career gone down the tubes, or did his career fall off the back of a truck? It's just so confusing...
Too bad there's no Buy It Now option on the RoadRunner. :(
It's different for different people I suppose. Those nuts who are always saying "I love a challenge, I love working under pressure."

...does this mean you'll be able to hear a random "fuck" on free-to-air television in the U.S. now without a hefty fine?
I suppose it still depends on how many people are complaining.
The middle of Australia is mostly desert, yes. That's why most of the population is scattered along the east and west coasts.

What's the bet it's going to be another U.S.-centric service?

The talking jackets statement reminded me of Michael J. Fox's 2015 in Back to the Future.
"Your jacket is now dry."

I knew of that. ^_^ Quite the multifaceted one.
It'd be nice if Weird Al teamed up with Wendy Carlos again... "Peter and the Wolf" was actually quite a good album...
