Please don't try to polarize the issue. The spirit in which pornography is created and viewed promotes immorality. This garbage has no place sharing the same fiber as other, more intellectually engaging content. I hope net neutrality doesn't pass in any form through congress so that this rubbish gets shafted with slower transfer of packets. I am probably dreaming now that the Democrats have majority in the house.
I'm not trying to troll. If I were, I would be an Anonymous Coward. These crass web sites not only typically have no value as information, they are crass in the way that they mock God's evolution. They go against my ethics. I know I'm not alone in this.
These pornography site operators are polluting the Web with their crass web sites. The Chinese government is doing something that I think all governments will start doing as soon as people realize the damage that is being done to children and impressionable adults.
Why are we doing this? These people don't need computers. They need more medical attention and food donations. If we give these people everything they want beyond what is needed for immediate survival, they will never feel a need to become self sufficient. This is global welfare gone bad.
When you purchase anything like video or music, you have no right to the actual content. That is intellectual property that is not your's to do whatever you want with regardless of copyright law / licensing. I'm tired of people who complain about not having certain rights (such as showing the movie you purchased a license to view personally to a large audience, making copies outside of the fair use clause, etc.) You only paid between $9.97 and $29.93 (audio CD) or under $67 USD for a DVD, why do you think that for this small amount of money (relative to the cost to produce the content), you should be able to do whatever you want with it? It is not your's. You never created it. It was created by a company that is willing to sell you the privilege to view/listen to it. You don't have to buy. This is similar with gaming consoles, which run software that is subject to copyright / licensing. Before you buy, do some research about what your getting (or ask questions). I'm tired of people who do no research before they buy and then complain. I also don't appreciate your slamming of conservative judges. You obviously don't understand the function of a judge. A judge must be impartial. Therefore, an "ultra-right" judge must be just as open minded in a case as anyone else. Even if I wasn't a conservative, I still would be upset by your insult of the U.S. judiciary branch.
The Internet already is available to too many. It has become so affordable (sometimes even free to the end user) that we end up with the poor having the same access as other more financially responsible members of society. The problem is that Internet access gives users the ability to broadcast their ideas, literary works, etc. with minimum investment via personal web servers, blog sites, "free" hosts, etc. If "publishing" content became significantly more expensive, the ratio of commercial content to personally-created content would by higher. This is a good thing for everyone.
This is what is referred to in German as Eierlegende Wollmilchsau. This essentially means "egg laying sow." The reason I say this is because it is a laptop trying to be a workstation. This would be better in Apple II C form. I personally don't like anything larger than my 12" iBook (which runs Linux well). I wouldn't want anything larger than my 14" Compaq Evo laptop. There are two types of people that will buy this from Acer: (1) those that like high tech lifting weights (2) those who won't remove their laptop from their desk.
So the pirates are in effect unauthorized value added resellers? I hope to be notified when this improved version is available. Maybe it won't have the movie trailers in the beginning.
Many people (including myself) resent this disgusting smut. I would rather it didn't become legitimized by having its own top level domain. These "adult entertainment" companies should all cease and desist for the morality of the U.S.

Making fun of the RIAA and the DMCA to justify pirating music. You are all criminals.
*whoosh*
Because what I believe is correct. The other, conflicting beliefs are incorrect. The reason mine is correct is that it is upheld by God.
I am not saying that they are the pinnacle of morality. I am saying that in some ways they are more ethical than the Western world.

My point is that we shouldn't be wasting our money on other people, we should be helping ourselves.
This is insightful.

HAHA!
The Slashdot editors need to go back to high school and learn basic English.
What humorless moderator moded this down?
It is NOT PC's! It is PCs! What makes people think they can use an apostrophe when the noun doesn't actually possess anything? It is just a plural!

Isn't the whole point of taking post secondary courses to have the credentials necessary to get a job in your chosen field?
We need an act to mandate a functional backdoor so that authorized government agencies can access classified data to fight terrorism more effectively.
