  1. google.com/ig on Google Calendar · · Score: 1

    Whats the big deal? I've been using gmail for storage since the start.

  4. Re:Shifting focus to her other attributes? on Lara Croft's Big Comeback · · Score: 1

    Chest reductions? HAH! Check out who's filling in Angelina Jolie's shoes... a previously unknown actress from Wales named Karima Adebibe. Yeah, big chest reduction there.... pardon me while i wipe the drool off my keyboard. More here.

  5. Thats all well and fine... on Google Moving PRC Records Out of China · · Score: 1

    But if the chinese made them censor their search before they could bring it to China, whats keeping the government from requiring Google to keep their records in China if they are to be allowed access?

  6. Please... on Viacom vs. News Corp. on Social Networking · · Score: 1

    ...don't let them take Facebook. Delightfully void of *HORRIBLE* HTML stylings, whiny pre-teens, those godawful "bulletins", and a smooth, clean, reliable interface.

  7. Re:Pot, Kettle on Senator Wants to Keep U.N. Away From the Internet · · Score: 1

    Lets do a little comparison between the U.S. government, and the UN, which I assume would be given control of the Internet if it is taken from ICANN

    From the U.S. Bill of Rights:
    Amendment I

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

    No matter what you say about Bush's DoJ coming down on porn offices, how many actually think it would hold up in court? I submit that no Judge in this nation would restrict speech in such a way, with the exception of kiddie porn and snuff films.

    From the UN Universal Declaration of Human rights http://www.un.org/Overview/rights.html
    After affirming all of the rights laid out in the U.S. Bill of Rights, there is Article 29, Section 3:

    "These rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations."

    So basically, according to what Bill Clinton called "the greatest document in the history of mankind", your rights stop when they run contrary to whatever the UN is trying to accomplish. From an organisation where North Korea and Iran are on the same playing field as Great Britain, Germany, France, and yes, the U.S.

    Just something to think about.
