Actually, I think it's bad that that DPRK site uses the GNU FDL, since it'll only provide ammo for Bill Gates' Open Source == Communism propaganda, and face it, after decades of anti-communism propaganda in the USA, communism is still a very dirty word there.
"We" (as in: Open Source advocates) *don't* want to be identified with such a crazy country as North Korea. Really.
Imagine this bill getting passed: you'd get incredibly slow-loading pages, because ISP employees would have to preview every single webpage for offensive material.
Well, the customers want the ISP to block the ports used by viruses, because it blocks viruses, which is what the cursomers want.
But the customers don't want the ISP to block the Vonage ports, because it blocks Vonage, which is a service that some of those customers subscribe to, and wish to receive.

'Should the people who make and sell "violent video" games be held accountable if someone commits a crime because of playing them?'
Of course, the things we see and do influence us, but to say that playing a violent video game makes someone violent is stretching it.

Oh, of course, video games are "new", while the lawyers of today have grown up with movies, and are used to them!

Just like you play loose and fast with grammar?
"What? My mother was a saint!"
... which would be sometime after the FSF had a flying pig and an ice skating Satan on the board?
And Anonymous Cowards are racists and bigots, rarely can they actually come up with an interesting post.
Instead of having nested XML tags, we could use directories and text files! Oh, wait...
Yes, so an infected machine will be useless until it gets fixed.
AFAIK, newly-bought harddrives are full of zeroes (not the ASCII 48 kind, of course).
That's not news...
Have you ever read anything by Robert Jordan?
It is a Berman & Braga episode, do the math.
It's 16% *bigger* than Jupiter, so its diameter must have rebounded past that of Jupiter by about 16%.

Oh, and SCO would just get blocked
Yes, and soon, they will start shooting some of their customers, in an effort to make their console actually a tiny bit cool!

There's still a vacancy for the function of hitman. Interested?
Nah, it's too much like work :-P
Take a look at the HTML that describes the form, it submits directly to the bank's website.

You two are gonna have a great time in ten years or so! :-P
The plural of medium is media, the same media as in multimedia, mass-media, and left-wing liberal news media.
