Actually, I plan on never telling my mother to type "Pipe" anyway. That'd mean we're at the command line, and she doesn't have access to that service plan.
This article is over 2 years old. I have a feeling that things have changed since then, but I don't know. I tried searching and only found old information.
I'd read an autopsy analysis if you know of a link. My understanding of it is that she had permanent irreversable extensive brain damage and was in a vegetative state.
I can only speculate that this is the same as the problem with my Mother.
I gave her a shiny new (used) p75 and taught her how to browse the internet. Next time I visit she has (literally) hundreds of bookmarks. Every website she's ever visited had a bookmark. Her friend taught her how to do it. She thought that you could never find it again if you didn't have a bookmark. She didn't know how to type in a URL (even though she'd obviously done it to get these bookmarks in the pre-searchbox days) and when trying to show me a website would sift through pages and pages of bookmarks (fucking up the mousing and starting over repeatedly) to click on www.whatever.com
Drove me crazy, but I am way too smart to try to change the way Mom surfs!
The reason many people refer to it as forward-slash is confusion.
If I say "Type aitch teeteepee colon slash slash..." my mother will find the first thing that looks like it could be a slash. Could be backslash, could be a frickin' pipe. You just don't know.
I remember when we got local fox news about 10 years ago. It was a joke. 15 second pauses, dropped papers, constantly flubbed phrases, and seriously weird-lookin' visibly drugged-out newscasters.
I predicted it would never last. Now nobody listens to me.
It isn't about bandwidth, it's about imposing rules on other people. Make sure the rules you try to impose are justifiable and rational. Singling out porn is pretty hard to justify. Why not filter violence? Politically different viewpoints? Non-approved religions? Non-approved news? Are breasts ok? How about on men? Is birth control ok? What about STDs?
You seem to think because it is artistic it ain't an ad.
I know several ad designers who would take offense. There are countless artistic advertisements. Think of Apple's 1984 ad, or some of the dot-com stupid bowl ads.
Ad != Artless. Art != adfree.
Whole argument is stupid, just wanted to make a point.

Back on topic, there are dozens of posters who strongly believe jpeg is lossy only. Thank you for straigntening this out.

Copy protection has been (and will always be) an idiotic race between the tortoise (legions of hackers) and the hare (copy protectionists)
Tortoise wins every time.
Can anyone do better?
Actually, this one is even working

Fishing isn't recommended, rust may occur.
Some biased non-medical activists disagreed with the autopsy results. What could be more simple?

I bet the gecko cost more than $8.75 too!
The difference is now, there is an easy way to identify and sue them.
There are RIAA type operations in most developed countries, and they probably aren't above sharing information amongst theirselves.
If so, I'd watch it!
Some crazy kids get to wear silly outfits, plus their pic in the paper and on the ubernet.
Impossible to stop, IMHO.
It's embarassing, though. There is that.
Everybody wins!
I always thought you pay whatever rate for the state/county/city the business was located in.

If you want to impose your morality on someone else, try to restrain yourself. Think of the children.
What if the frequency were 2 orders of magnitude larger?
They're doing that now. They don't need no stinkin' EULA.
You're sadly deluded if you have an expectation of privacy on the intarweb.
