Anime fansubs.
Of course their legality is something of a grey area but since there is, at least, tacit approval and, for the most part, well-mannered behaviour towards English language licensees, it's no surprise that there are no attempted prosecutions (even if there have been words with people like Bo*t**rents and Anime4L**e).
While Slashdot stories (unlike most of the Flash-based web) can be a good example of hyperlinking, this story (after the first link) was appalling - why was the link to the withdrawal placed around the words 'infinitiely many twin primes'? Not only did I immediately wonder why there seemed to be no link to evidence of the withdrawal, but there was no direct link to explain what the twin prime conjecture is...
A good review, as well as the state of the art, afaik, in showing how much we can formally say about what can be achieved practically is Ian Mitchell's MSc thesis (1996, British Columbia) 'Proving Newtonian Arbiters Correct, Almost Surely' (which is an answer to Mendler and Stroup's 'Newtonian Arbiters Cannot Be Proven Correct', paper versions of both being available from the proceedings of Designing Correct Circuits, in 1992 and 1996)
Except also that NoChex also put lots of stupid restrictions on you - like forcing you to chose between being a buyer and a seller and preventing sellers from transferring funds to another account!
Whether you agree with advertising on this site or not, one can't deny that what's being quoted here is clearly incorrect and misleading: "LEMUR is a handy and modular touchpanel based controller" - no it's not, it isn't anything (other than an idea). "LEMUR is provided with an extensible library of User Interface Objects" - no it isn't, it isn't provided at all!
It's no good admitting that you're just passing on vapour and yet continuing to quote incorrect statements.
Our licensing model was similar to the rest of the industry - you pay per performance
No, the PC market (Windows, Netware, Notes etc.) had a different licensing policy (per seat) and all you're doing is supporting my point - Microsoft are not making up new licensing schemes, they're just moving towards a licensing system that's more appropriate to the kind of distributed server-based architectures they're now pushing for.
Would you prefer they'd jumped straight to per cycle??...
I suppose it's perfectly in keeping with the terribly-written article on The Register that we're offered snide opinion on something here without having even been told what it is. (And worse, misled that this is some kind of search engine.)
I've had long arguments on Slashdot about this before with business app hackers who don't realise what a serious deficiency this is for a real data model...
My clear definition of child pornography is: an actual child in real or simulated sex acts, represented in media. There might be some debate on the definition of "child", but I believe that the age of consent to sexual acts is a safe threshold
That's not a clear definition because - apart from debate on definition of a child - there is debate on: what the age of consent should be, the reason I mentioned Netherlands (14 years old), Japan (12 years old) and Saudi Arabia (where one cannot legally consent to sex outside marriage); the definition of "sex acts"; and the acceptibility of simulated sex acts (illegal in Netherlands, a grey area in the United States and somewhat legal in Japan).
Why the differences? These are variations in codes of morality...
Because it's morality that bounds pornography.
How far would you take the argument that representation of the act is a preferable substitute for the act itself?
How would you justify your decision without citing moral arguments?

'Between Coca and Cocaine' by Paul Gootenberg, a Professor at Stony Brook.
It isn't even a war on the coca plant by the US government, it's a war on farmers who they don't want to grow it... and it's chemical warfare!
(Please note that in Bolivia, and other places, there is legal coca farming sanctioned by the US government... for the Coca Cola company!)

I can point him to one or two... thousand (!)... pieces of shit hardware (however fast).

I should probably have said Spyglass Mosaic to be clear (since this is not the same code as NCSA Mosaic - which neither Netscape nor IE contain).
Indeed. Microsoft invented this. The good thing about mainframes was no matter how powerful the machine the cost for software was the same...
Next year why not consider a credible competition?

Yes. If you are interested please read this

Don't think it's about morality?
Have you the same definition of child pornography as the Dutch, the Japanese and the Saudis? (Clue: that's impossible)
And there was me pre-supposing that you wouldn't be in favour of child pornography and up-to-minute uncensored coverage of the Jihad...
Because it's morality that bounds pornography. How far would you take the argument that representation of the act is a preferable substitute for the act itself? How would you justify your decision without citing moral arguments?
If only we would just hurry up and die then it would stop...
