Last year I spent about 3 months in Peru and internet kiosks were pretty much my only way of checking my account balance. I was running Firefox and ClamWin off a USB stick, and I changed my password constantly. Risky, but necessary.
I haven't needed to use an NNTP client in years for binaries, just use Easynews web-based global search interface instead. Regex search across all groups, option to output search results as thumbnails, automatically repairs files server-side using the PARs, even unrars the contents of multi-part archives so you can just download the unarchived files directly over HTTPS. It fucking rocks.
Or, they could have hired somebody else (e.g. a Harry Potter fanfic writer) to write an alternative version, and then 'leaked' that. Then there would be less incentive for somebody to leak it for real.
That's probably just wishful thinking on my part though, having tried (and failed) to read this discussion without taking in any of the spoilers!
childporn is a to sensitive topic to be brushed away with the usual smartass piratebay routine. I's just as good to duck when they start tossing childporn over the battlefield, even if it's nonce sense.
It's Nordeinde Palace in The Hague, one of the Dutch royal palaces. You can see on the normal or hybrid Google map that the gardens to the immediate west are labelled "Paleis Tuin", which means "Palace Garden" in English. You can also see that the building is on Nordeinde, in Den Haag (The Hague).
I had been buying boxes of (Belgian-made) Godiva chocolates as gifts for family and friends for years, seeing as I travel a lot for work and I spend most Friday evenings in Amsterdam airport, but nobody had ever actually offered to share some with me until my girlfriend did a few weeks ago. I wasn't all that impressed with them, given that it cost about 40 tax-free (over $50) for a box of 30 chocolates. Think I'll try Lindt next time.
Actually, I was shocked to learn Heinz wasn't an English company; worse, it was American.
I was the same about Hellmann's. It wasn't until I was having an argument with a Dutchman about how our 'English' Hellmann's mayonnaise tastes so much better than Dutch fritessaus that I was told that Hellmann's is actually American.
How would you define what does and doesn't constitute child porn? Also, seeing as you're suggesting implementing a law on a global scale, how could you get around differing age of consent laws in different countries?
Huh? Try 10$/mo at Easynews and alt.binaries.erotica.divx or cheggit.net (120k+ members) or any one of a ton of other places, any one of which will give you more porn than you could possibly have time to watch. They're so busy posting the constant stream of new dvds released there's hardly ever time for reposts.
Yup, can vouch for Easynews after using it for the past 7-8 years. The (still-hidden for some reason) Easynews global search is pretty amazing - just enter your keywords, filter it on movies and select output style as 'Hybrid 1'. Bob's your mother's brother. Even supports regex!:-) Automatically assembles the contents of some RAR files too, try including 'autounrar' in your search term, or the PAR viewer for files that aren't automatically assembled. Also like the SSL option for downloading stuff from work (disclaimer: no, I don't work for them, just a very satisfied customer).
It's also worth signing up to the Ijsklontje forums if you have a decent binary newsfeed, just to see what's on there at the moment.
Soon there will be
computer generated kiddie porn (and adult porn for that matter) that will pass for the
real thing! How could this be a crime (no children would be harmed in the making of
computer generated kiddie porn).
It almost certainly would be an offence under UK law, see here.
If you really don't have any other option than backing up to DVDs, then how about this?
Install WinRAR, right-click the directories that you want to back up, click 'Add to archive...', choose the option to split into DVD-sized chunks*, select whichever compression method you'd like, and then wait while it creates the archive files.
Now install QuickPar, perhaps read a parity file tutorial if you're unfamiliar with the concept, and then create a set of parity files to restore any corrupt or damaged data.
* Or perhaps it would be better to create files of just under 45 MB each, and burn 100 of them to each DVD.
If only you were prepared to do a small amount of searching, you'd know that a troll is a fearsome member of a mythical anthropomorph race from Scandinavian folklore. Sheesh.
Wouldn't screencasting software be of use here? I've successfully used Camtasia Studio to remove the Windows Media DRM from time-limited content that I'd paid for, although the output files were huge.
The following Normal mode command in Vim will reindent your whole file for you according to the indenting rules for that language (user-defined, or the Vim defaults):
gg=G

It's all a myth anyway, according to the Daily Mail. Richard Littlejohn said so, and he knows more than all those "scientists" combined!
But check this clause in their cancellation FAQ:
"On the Be unlimited and Be pro packages, you may cancel your service at any time, providing you give us 3 months' notice."
3 months' notice?!
European Solar Engineering School?
Electrical Status Epilepticus during Sleep?
Event-Space Exploration Strategies?
