While wikipedia articles on evolution and global warming aren't actually that bad, you're ignoring the huge number of non-controversial science and mathematics articles on wikipedia. Non-controversial!=trivial. These articles tend to be very thorough and reliable.
I don't think that will work forever. Beyond a certain point, people will stop caring about the higher quality and just accept rips that are less than lossless.
1.) In China in terms of this example, the third supermarket doesn't exist at all.
2.) Shooting customers is an extremely asanine analogy. If you are shot to death, you are going to remain dead forever. If you're censored at one point, you might get the information later. If there's a notice that you're being censored, you're now better off than before because you at least know that some things are being censored and have some idea of the frequency of censorship. If we're going to use your ridiculous analogy, the second supermarket would not be shooting its customers, there would be government agents hiding in the aisles waiting to shoot you while the supermarket posted warning signs labeling their positions.
"I'm asking why censorship in corporate guise is any more acceptable or any different than when done directly by the Chinese government."
If a man held a gun to your head, are you in the wrong when you pinch someone under his orders? You might say you shouldn't be there in the first place, but if the government would simply have someone else do it in that case it would have no effect. If the other people would overzealously decide to go further and kill or seriously maim the person in an attempt to appease the man with the gun, you'd even be causing a net benefit to your victims.

It is official; Netcraft now confirms: *BSD is dying
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered *BSD community when IDC confirmed that *BSD market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming close on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time FreeBSD developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: FreeBSD is dying.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS dilettante dabblers. *BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a cockeyed miracle could save *BSD from its fate at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.
Fact: *BSD is dying
Why would people mod you up for feeding the trolls? lolz.
Perhaps google's algorithm should include something along the lines of:
public string test (string company) {
if(company.getLanguageProminence("JAVA") >.10 ) {
System.out.println("kill yourself lol");
return "FAIL";
}
else {
return "WIN";
}
Are you aware that the case from which that argument stems (Schenck v. United States) was overturned?
I think the background of the case is the best argument against you kind of reasoning. Schenck was arrested merely for protesting the draft. That is why ABSOLUTE freedom of speech should be guaranteed. With anything less, no speech is safe.
To be clear, the new law applies only to depictions that the average person would believe to be real. But the police have used it to arrest people for hentai, which is pretty clearly not real.
Well, obviously. Why would the elite want anything to do with you?
But I agree, that's probably the least deserving site on the list, which is saying something.
I wouldn't consider South Asia the Middle East. And our very different treatment of Iran and Israel's nuclear weapons programs just prove the GPs point.

I thought unleashing VB on Linux was the threat.

NPR's only on Sirius, which is why that's what I have.

I have a better idea! if ( person.getLanguage() == Language.JAVA ) { System.out.println("gtfo"); return 0; }
Mod parent insightful. Google can't be evil. Duh.
The article is from the Style section, which is more for entertainment than for information.

Unless you include the value of being able to put this on your resume and generally brag about it...
Isn't Hebrew now undead? Or does El-Al really refer to their planes as "big silver birds that fly fast"?

No, we can just keep dumping them in the third world.
Wrong entry.
Well, considering Senator Orrin Hatch wants to destroy my computer, I'm not suprised.
using the internet or credit cards are generally not considered "unpleasant things"...
The judge can impose a wide range of arbitrary conditions on the suspect without him being convicted of anything.
