How about censoring anything to do with the Democratic party? Sure, that's no what they're doing. But if the politicians are told "yes, you can censor stuff" it opens the possibility to them censoring other stuff.
We see it with the FBI, CIA, etc. "Oh no, we can't release that information. National security and all that." They were told, yes you can censor stuff in the name of national security. Now they're censoring stuff that in all likelihood has nothing to do with national security.
Everyone else. The logs should be made public if anyone can enter the chatroom. Or if it's limited to minors only, when a child signs up for an account for the chatroom, a parent account should be made where they can access logs of when their child was logged in.
Only by accountability can safety be provided. And the children don't really have any expectation of privacy in a MONITORED chatroom. They should of course, be well aware they parents can read what they say.
I hear ya dave. I also want parents to be charged with negligence anytime their child is molested at a day-care. The parents should have been watching their children, not letting them be raised by a day-care.
The expectation based on AOL advertising was that minors would be protected from predators.
Predator is often used for pedophile. A pedophile is someone who has sex with someone who is under the age of consent. The fact that this isn't a criminal matter suggests that she was in fact over the age of consent. How was AOL's promise broken by this case?
Or is ANYONE who has sex (or wants to have sex) with a consenting partner that is over the age of consent a predator?
The only part of the lawsuit I saw that had any credence was the "for causing emotional distress" part. So guess what guys. Anytime you enter into a relationship with a woman, if you break-up it better be on good terms, because otherwise you'll case emotional distress and have to pay for it.
The fact that a rape victim is 16 does not automatically mean that the victim in fact consented, or that a possible lapse in promised security did not in fact provide the means for the rape.
Why bring up rape? It's got nothing to do with the article.
Yeah, but times have moved forward a couple of thousand years since B.C. Who cares what the age of consent was back then? I want to know what it is now.
I was going to say "ha, ha! You posted as your username" but then I read the username "not the9" and realised I have no idea who you are. I know one thing though, you're not this guy
The majority of people speed, because speed limits are rarely reasonable. Speeding is not irresponsible.
Isn't irresponsible huh? Well my brother was killed because he was hit by a speeding car. It very much is an irresponsible thing to do. I just hope you don't ever have to learn what it feels like for killing someone because of your irresponsible behavior.
Lucky they're ringing up the user, because otherwise the user will just assume that they've been disconnected. Yet again. Bigpond is terrible with keeping it's users online (I'm talking broadband here), and believe that two to three disonnects per day is perfectly fine, even when those disconnects last for an hour or more.
I can see it now: Customer: My broadband is down again. Bigpond: Oh, I see. Well from time to time this does happen for a brief moment... Customer: It's been down all day, and it's happened every day this week. Bigpond: I see.. What's your account *clickety* Oh yes, we've marked you as a computer with a trojan. Please do a virus scan and call us back, if it comes back negative we'll re-connect you.
I'd go with someone else but they're the only broadband provider for my area. And I live in Sydney (the suburbs, an hour from the city itself)
Well what happens is Evil Superman flies about the world and speeds up the rotation. He'll also be able to go into the future this way, possibly to a time where only superman exists. Then the two can battle it out and destroy the world in the process. But who cares, by that time no humans will be around.
I dunno. PharmacyX teams up with K-Mart to include the ATP/UV/PVP-mumbo jumbo in their latest vaccine. Then PharmacyX pay doctors to administer said vaccine. Definitely seems possible to me.
Err... didn't America agree to build a bunch of stuff and then back out when they couldn't afford to? I'm sure the ESA and the Japanese space agency could reliably help each other out.
I'd hardly call a bunch of scorpions a "horrible virus." Besides, I hear that particular scientist whose prone to thinking of himself as god has been taken to the Stargate program. Apparently the ga'oulds didn't respect O'Neill.

Wait, I'll tell you the rest when you're older.
I already know how it ends, they get married, live together for 20 years, then they get divorced and she gets everything.
Me, bitter? No way.
Will somebody please think of the truckers?

Who's watching the watchers?

It's 14 here in B.C.

Is that the new CSI show? CSI:Soviet Russia?
Just because my computer can't render kanji, doesn't mean the website's content doesn't exist ;)
I reckon they'll find something saying Jesus was a second-child. That or Jesus was a twin, and that he had a goatee.

Regular sex. You're right, prison is heaven.
Free speech? Should have thought of that before you did whatever it was that got you in there.
America: The only place where no innocent has ever been put in jail.

He also hasn't lost lives, that I know of.
He hasn't lost lives, he's only temporarily misplaced them. But it's okay, they'll be in the last place he looks.

When did Kazaa start charging?
I own the BBC series. That says what I thought of it ;)
Once the porn industry is no longer interested in this technology. Would you want to be in that film?
In 20 years time of course.
It's being downloaded at record rates you silly ninny.

Yes, I do have Karma to burn.
