Ban search engines -- they potentially allow you to reach content that may or may not be appropriate for you, as deemed by someone you have most likely never met, nor shares the same moral compass as you do.
And while you are at it, ban the transmission of any type of communications that could expose anyone to anything that could potentially be bad for them. Bad being defined as "something you don't like".
Isn't it counter-intuitive to have an ad for child pornography? If I was attempting to sell an illicit substance, would I do it in plainsight of a police station?
There is a reason that the government needs to conduct stings to catch criminals who engage in the transmission of child pornography -- *because you can't find it through the "normal" channels* without really looking for it.
Election year hooplah. I wish we could make that illegal.
I am a little confused at what you are concerned about. Proprietary standards for VoIP in general, or that the AOL product will be a closed software package (or both)?
As technology has proven over the last few years, eventually an open-source solution will exist that rivals commercial systems. Whether said open-source solution will be strong enough to unseat paying users who are comfortable with their current product is to be seen. Besides, there is already a large swelling of open VoIP software coming to market -- but by the time any of this really could be of concern, something else will exist to transport our digital information:)
It loads up the IE AOL-branded browser on startup, but it doesn't require it's use. Other than the 4 seconds it takes to let it load and close, it shouldn't be too much of a turn-off.
Let me say it here first, when the legal hurdles are cleared, and my Running Man-styled reality show hits the market from the gulag in Iceland, the main "competitors" will be spammers and adware coders.
At least a side social benefit of MySpace is that people will be able to discover if they suffer from epilepsy earlier.

The United States is far behind both Japan and Europe in its ability to bring front-line cellular technology to market. No idea why, other than our providers are happy to gorge themselves on the current service offerings, and shy away from spending additional capital on upgrades.
I know there would be a market for the cutting-edge phones that the rest of the world has.
I call bullshit. Having a relatively indepth knowledge of the escalation process at AOL, this would not happen. Perhaps one rep telling her that she wasn't the owner and thus, could not modify an account maybe, but if it got to the point of "sending in a death certificate", it would have moved well up the chain of customer service.
Also, why would she be billed for this account? If he set it up, on his card, as the owner (which is the crux of your statement), what is she involved for? If it was her card, the account would be in her name, and your statement would also be invalid.
If you are going to try to come up with something witty to rag on AOL about, at least make it credible.

If you can think it up, it exists on the dark-side of the Web.
Or PharmaMaster is said Engineer at a backbone provider.

And a number of slashdot users. That is enough to frighten most parents :)
I am less concerned about AOL/Skype/etc. proprietary systems and what they could do with information that they glean from my use, than I am about the FCC and the US Government. http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/ DOC-265221A1.pdf

Unless they are planning to unveil a huge, fully-functioning network that they can flip on right before the stock market opens.

Thank God, a catalyst for creating the Metaverse.
