That's not necessarily true; particularly if you lack a PCI-X or other super-PCI bus, the integrated network interface will often be on the PCI bus anyway.
Ah, here we more or less have a system where one of the two big, really generic parties is in power; since their only interest is keeping quiet, actual policy is dictated largely by the smaller parties in government, the courts and Europe. It seems to work, more or less.
Now trying to picture communist porn. Does it occur in a field with the women wearing the same as the men and everyone looking unreasonably enthusiastic, and a hammer and sickle in the background?
No, these are in the wrong order. The robot shouldn't be allowed kill people just 'cause the owner tells it to. And number 1 there is extremely narrow, and for a literal-thinking machine, difficult to implement..
It almost certainly can't be held responsible while it doesn't know the material is there. Once someone publicly points it out, tho, they have to do something from a publicity point of view, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if they have to do something legally as well; they certainly would here.
That's quite frightening, about the health insurance. I'm glad I live in a marginally civilised country. (Oddly, "pro-life" people are quite often very anti-life in many cases; a lot of them support execution, war, torture of prisoners and so forth).
But really, this stuff isn't acceptable. If those rooms are what their names imply (and in at least a few cases there's no getting away from it; they are definitely dodgy), then they're incredibly dangerous to children and illegal nearly everywhere in the world. Legislation on this sort of thing isn't unreasonable. Yahoo should hand over details of anyone who used these rooms to Interpol
Er, really, that's ridiculous. The intention of those rooms is obvious, and not surprising; paedophilia is more common than people tend to think. When BT in the UK (a telecom and ISP) blocked KNOWN paedophile websites, they had some insane number of attempted accesses a day. If a few innocent politician fetishists are hurt by this, well, that's life.
There's a HUGE difference between spam and child porn, to be fair. And yahoo certainly have some responsibility to keep an eye on what they're hosting; if they're not willing to do that then taking it down's not a bad option.
The thing is, that Google is now a publicly traded company. To an extent, they do capitalise on their reputation as an ethical, unbiased engine (no paid listings, only conventional ads, and so on) but that'll only last as long as it makes them more money in the medium-term than being ethical. Ultimately, it is the duty of a company to do what is best for the shareholder, within legal limits, not what is best for the employee, consumer or community.
Well, that's the thing; a benevolent totalitarianism is the best form of government, as long as it can be relied upon to remain benovelent. Of course, it never does.
Erm, you know, banks tend to charge fees as well. So do credit card processors. And it's $500 a month. Just 'cause it's the internet, you shouldn't expect everything to be free, you know;)

Eventually, you'll be able to get some of the raw materials from the moon, by linear accelerator! ;)

IF the government can do better than the private sector, then it SHOULD, by all means. There are few enough areas that this tends to wor out, tho.
The grammar, the eccentric charts, the bizzare statements like: "While it's certainly not a multi-threaded capable chip..."
Why is it that the dodgiest news/review sites so often get written up here?
The idiot too-much-money-for-their-own-good gamer market drives the high-end x86 industry; hadn't you noticed?
ERm, who modded this insightful? Lenovo has been making the laptops for some time, now, and they kept the IBM employees....
Well, they still haven't adequately cracked down on the KKK, have they?

I am frightened to death by the tacit admission of most people that in America you have to bribe the government to get anything done...
Realistically, it's not just the religious who are opposed to child abuse. I think, in fact, just about everyone is.

Sorry, the people in those rooms are criminals, and hosting such rooms is illegal.
Except that many paedophiles have in fact met children off the internet. It happens.

The largest distribution in the free world? This is as opposed to North Korea's vast pornorgraphy mountain, right?
No, it doesn't help your Google rankings; slashdot links are rel="nofollow"-ed

Signs of being a great evil? Well, my last AdSense cheque was drawn on CitiBank; does that count? :)
