He sums up everything about why we should ALLOW these kinds of videos. Some savage beheading a telecommunications worker in Iraq? Allow it. Clips from Jesus Camp? Allow it.
The other side of the argument could be that it just fuels people's anger towards certain groups. Just because a Muslim man blows up a disco in Israel doesn't mean your Muslim neighbor is going to do it to you. There's many variables that have to come into play when you consider censorship.
Then again, I'm all for allowing anything and everything. I only wish they allowed Dog to continue his bounty hunter show, but allowed him to spit the racial epithets he did because it was a reality show after all. Show the real side of reality.
It's because you can get away with it. If anything it's even more common or peoples true emotions come out because of the fact that it's mostly anonymous.
They'll also do it under the guise of "The protection of children" because of one person posting photos of people who are underaged. It's what caused ISPs to stop providing USENET access to anything but The Big 8.
Aparrently they also don't welcome WinMobile readers. I get redirected to their mobile portal, rather then the article I can manage reading just as I do with any other site.
Wasn't there an article similar to this within the past few weeks? And it was a scam? And it was run out of Bulgaria?
Reminds me of the WoW Toolbox. You're paying to be scammed.
Yeah, he's a moron. He deserves to be the scapegoat. I'm an intern at a small IT company, and some times (Such as today) I have to handle the weekly backups and hold onto them until the next cycle. I'm fresh out of high school and even I know that if the tapes were to be stolen, destroyed, etc. (Even though encrypted), it would be putting the company's balls in a vice. This moron probably is the type who leaves his phone places, forgets to grab his car keys or wallet when he leaves. It's common sense. Get some.
Google logs your searches if you log into Gmail and have a personalized homepage, which is very common for most users these days. All your searches are logged unless you specifically ask not to. Odds are she had her computer set to remember her info, got caught, they logged in and saw the searches.
I just was hired at a small software development company doing help desk related work. My boss shows me my office, where there is a desk, chair, and a pile of computer and supplies. He says "Cut a hole in the wall, put in the Ethernet jack, and then set up your computer.
Some friends and I did some summer work at our school. It's a large school (1600+) and has roughly 500 computers to service. Most of the work was running Cat5e into classrooms. The most bizarre thing I saw aside from the rank smell that came wafting from the ceiling when you removed the tiles was a Catalyst 3560 (sp?) switch hanging from the ceiling. With Cat5e. Apparently someone was lazy and didn't feel lke bolting it.
It's surprising how strong Cat5e is, I recall suspending a kid from the ceiling back in my first year of technical school.
You overlook that many do not have the knowledge of even typing in a simple IP address and using the default username/password. I was asked to secure my neighbors network the other day. I told him I could easily do it from home if it is wireless, which it was. Default SSID, administrator password, and he had half the neighborhood leeching his internet. His fault? No. He's a retired steel mill worker, not one of the pioneers of the information age. No, that isn't required to know how to RTFM, but it sure as hell does help.
Clearely the most influential statement made this entire article. Someone downloads child pornography on YOUR network, YOU are liable. YOU will have the FBI raiding your computer. YOU will be the one going to court. And I am sure they will be very interested in those few thousand MP3's you have stored on your hard drive, or those couple of movies that are distributed by the MPAA.
One quick drive down my street with a sniffer and you'll find 25 networks that are open and you can easily carry out an illegal activity or malicious attack with. It's common sense, but many don't have it when it comes to computers.
Half of them are still using the Linksys SSID for that matter!
This is the 40-man raid dungeon that is harder than the two others that are currently in game (MC and BWL). The elitist guild on my server (Guild: Vis Maior, Server: Bonechewer) has already cleared it on the test realm, and is just working on getting the gates open. We did the event where you get your reputation to neutral with the scarabs, but the server crashed when we originally tried to do the cutscene. They did it again yesterday, and had no issues, despite it being three weeks after we had hoped to do it.
But yeah, Bonechewer is a perfect example of how Blizzard is not applying to their customers. I don't give a flying f*ck about my class (rogue) sucking, and all the buffs I need. I care more about not having to wait in a 30 minute queue on a medium population server, active crashes, lag spikes, and chaos when it comes to doing instances.
agreed. The only suitable rating system would be requirement of a photo ID proving age over 17, and that is only if they get their way, otherwise I enjoy the way it is. I know before I turned 17, EB games usually would ask my parents if it was appropriate for me to get it.

And as long as they remain that way the competent will remain safe.
They'll just stick to harassing 13 year olds downloading show tunes and grandmothers.
Which would be 30% of the population.
Mod parent up.

Isn't that the reason big ISPs dropped USENET down to The Big 8?

God damnit. I hope nobody was watching inbound websites right then, or I'm gonna have some explaining to do.
Now to implement The Alan Parsons Project!

Now I don't have to cruise through neighborhoods to pick up access points to get into then commit crimes, I can just check the internet!

Moral of this story? Disable search logging.

Looks like Sony has dug themselves quite a hole at this point. All I know is I am no longer purchasing their merchandise. :)

In the time it takes them to write the check... They will have made it all back.
...can I turn off my computer from school...?
