And I've censored stuff in the past. But on the other hand, I've also ignored requests to remove content from our customers websites.
I get no help from anybody in deciding what to allow and what to delete... There are no guidelines, no lawyers to consult, nothing. It's just my judgement every time. Mostly I take the view that if the guy complaining is being an ass and being unreasonable I take what he says with a pinch of salt. It usually doesn't take long to contact the site owner, copy them the complaint and then let the two sort it out between themselves.
Ofc if it's obviously in breech of the law then I'll remove it. But there's surprisingly little which is nowadays.
I recently got a Sony Vaio Picturebook, and it has this feature. You can either explicitly put it into hibernate mode, or you can set it so it hibernates when you hit the power button.
Takes about 30 seconds to do, but it boots in about 5 seconds, which is pretty nice. Eats up an amount of hard disc space = to your memory + overheads of about 20% (on mine anyway).
It turns out that sharks don't in fact need to keep moving. They can do active as well as passive breathing, and the are perfectly capable of "sucking" oxygenated water into their mouths to breath.
Some scientists in Australia proved it by sticking some sharks in a big tank and not letting them swim around. They survived fine:)
