They would have caught you going to a web page with no illegal content. Going to a webpage isn't (or shouldn't be) proof of anything. It's very easy to go places you didn't mean to on the internet. You would not have actually downloaded or possessed anything illegal, nor would you have done anything that conclusively proves you were trying to.
I'm all for being fair, but you're way off the mark here. IE is very relevant to this discussion (and any browser discussion) and not only that, the "smear" is that it's not affected by a vulnerability!
If there was a fire in the Whitehouse, would you tell the media to stop "obsessing" over Bush if they reported that some were hurt, but the president was not?
What are you talking about? Google does exactly what you're asking for. If there's a page in Google's index that says "Like the question someone once asked Bill Gates, 'is the devil real or imaginary?'" and you type "Bill Gates is the Devil" into Google (with or whithout quotes), it will find that result.
Thank you for the most fascist comment of the day.
Who the hell are you or anybody else to say what's a crime and what's not, not to mention what's a "suitable punishment"? Can't take care of yourself? Buy a gun and shoot the bastard. Hell, even 90 year old granny can do that. Can't buy a gun legally? Shouldn't have given up your rights...
Thank you for the anarchist retard comment of the day.
Not necessarily. There are a number of philosophies regarding the reason for prisons; other than punishment, prisons can be said to be places of rehabilitation, places to simply remove the dangerous element from society, and probably other things.
What in the world does trying to be a domain registrar have to do with increasing their search capabilities?
A good bit actually. Google isn't planning to sell domain names, supposedly, but instead use the information that is afforded to registrars. For instance, when someone lets a domain expire, Google can look at that and perhaps take that domain out of the search rankings.
Turning off domain grouping doesn't seem to make a difference for me. The same results are returned.
It made a slight difference for me, but turning off the safesearch filter actually produced a bigger variety, and most of the added images were not porn.
Sure, there were a lot of gnomes there, but this wasn't a "Million Gnome March" in the sense that it was about gnome rights. The phrasing in the blurb is ludicrous: gnomes are protesting because "their" class isn't balanced? Gnome is a race that can play several classes. This was a warrior protest, not a gnome protest, even if lots of gnomes were involved.
That almost makes sense, except that if they did understand the first amendment, their opinions would be that they shouldn't be allowed to express their own (unpopular) opinions. How likely do you think that is?
... people use words that sound like the one they actually meant, proving they don't really know what they're saying.
On our screens, [Google's] minimalist design betrays its maximal capacity.
No, it belies its maximal capacity. That means it hides it, which is clearly the intent of the sentence; meanwhile, to say it betrays it means the opposite.

The FAQ for Google Maps says that this is a feature they're working on.

Yes, and that is definitely what he was implying.

Gnome and KDE are both pretty darn ugly if you ask me.
The decline has encouraged Group Think and UNPOPULAR opinion is caught by the mechinism.
Except that it's not. The mechanism doesn't delete posts that are modded low. One can still view any post if one so desires.
In which case they wouldn't have caught you doing anything illegal...

A prison is supposed to be a place of punishment.
Not necessarily. There are a number of philosophies regarding the reason for prisons; other than punishment, prisons can be said to be places of rehabilitation, places to simply remove the dangerous element from society, and probably other things.
Okay, two commas out of place if you count the title (which to my knowledge may or may not be written by the submitter).
Actually, his comma usage is near-perfect. He only has one comma out of place (the one between "TypoGenerator" and "art"). Hardly butchering, I'd say.

No! Taco is infallible! ;)
Oh, and if you see your mom this weekend, be sure and tell her Dupe! Dupe! Dupe! Dupe! Dupe!
Um, it's not exactly a dupe when they say "as we mentioned earlier" with a link to the earlier article.
Geez, I hope you don't use doorknobs!
But no big corporation tells such blatant lies about their competition as Microsoft does.
Now who's being naive?
Doesn't Walmart actually sell Linspire machines currently?

Joke... or just woefully ignorant?
RTFA. It was originally thought to belong to Blair before people realized it actually belongs to Gates.
My wife has a 15" and I find it fairly annoying to type on that keyboard.
