Another issue with books being online is that some books will be more prone to censorship by ranking (should that become less objective as time goes on). Seems downright Orwellian, albeit well aligned to the current trend. Other avenues of book sharing and the ability to copy books thus needs to be preserved. As long as other venues are not restricted or eventually replaced by this selective, mass scanning system, it seems to be fairly benign. I doubt anyone would let it happen today but who knows what the future generation might allow.
"tainting" seems more typically useful than treacherous. This is one big reason I don't like some of the operating systems is because hardware will not be supported because vendors now have to be worried about GPL zealotry and legal ivory towers.
Doesn't surprise in the least. Cheeky. You know, there could be another one that is also the Anti-Chinese wikipedia too. We could even have domain name suffixes like.wool and.falun
I simply don't see a reason for it's existence except for more meme about the existence of porn. The existing websites function perfectly fine with the obscurity and warnings they already have. I really don't think those arguing for the.xxx domain are really interested in moving all existing porn sites there anyway/banning them out of the existing.com (etc) domains. That would after all be breaking the first amendment. What this is all about is added porn venue/convenience in meme.

Is that the standard? What about the X-box? (or the next X box by the time this gets out into market)

Is finally being used by electric companies. How novel.
