What would be the cost comparison between implementing this filter vs. mailing each household (that requests it) a free copy of NetNanny (or other blocking) software?
Blocking everything will just make people search harder for it.
Look out criminals, a new brand of excellent martyrs are on the horizon, its 'The Awesome Braveguys!'*

This word, 'hypocritical'. You keep using it, but I do not think it means what you think it means.
What do you think it means? What word would you use then?
I meant it in the sense that Hypocrisy is the act of pretending to have beliefs, virtues and feelings that one does not truly possess.
NOTICE: I am immediately moving to San Jose, California to start my own IT firm. I have no idea what I will do, but I expect the money to come pouring in. Stay tuned...
Funny how they make very effective filters for pr0n, but violence is AOK. You can bomb, shoot, maim every night on the nightly news, but God forbid you show a naked breast...people might be harmed!
There are hypocritical cultural 'norms' in the USA.
No they don't resent it, because they all know that they could do the same. And everyone respects everyone else's need. And it isn't favoritism since it applies to anyone in the company.
Ballmer's pronouncements were reminiscent of Yankee baseball slugger Babe Ruth standing in the batter's box and pointing to the place in center field where he planned to hit a home run.
The only difference was that a chair was thrown towards the center of the press conference.
If that is still too insecure for you, meet the recipient in the middle of the park for a strolling conversation; and don't forget the white noise generator.
How on earth did you figure out my new plan for secure Instant Messaging?
If a patch breaks a critical system it can cost the company millions in uptime, legal expenses and replacement costs.
Now the question is, do the costs you mentioned outweigh the security risks/costs of not patching their software? And if it does indeed 'break a critical system' then maybe it is different issue that may not related to the browser at all. Or, if so, they could always use Firefox.
I am not up in arms or pissed off, just trying to point out what happens in some countries vs. others. It is getting tiring to hear stories about how people were scammed by not updating their Microsoft products. But then again, those people probably don't even read these stories, let alone update anything.

Well, to give them some credit, it did say the Google CEO cleared the air.
Now what exactly happened billions of years ago? And what happened before that? And before that?
*Head asplodes*
IE7 shows warning messages for 'Reported Phishing Websites.'
Maybe this will finally catch the 'big one that got away.'

It must have been shut down, before the first item had 22 bids on MS XP for around $22.00 US.

No, I think it's BadAnalGuy.
