No, it only applies to material produced as a type of pornography, for example. I've reworded the post to make it clearer.

Only the murder itself should be illegal. If it's some kind of weird pornography, for example, then the filming and distribution of it could be illegal. If we try to prosecute whether it's viewed for pleasure or not, then we are t

Yes, to distribute, if produced for malicious reasons, but not to view. I personally believe that no part of the internet, if viewed or visited, should be illegal to browse, period. Everyone should be free to explore the entire Internet wit

No, absolutely not, the distribution of it should be prosecuted, not people looking at it. Criminalizing looking at things is a throwback from medieval times. And is a hallmark of totalitarianism, a police state. No other person, or governm

No content on the Internet should be illegal to access, period.

Hopefully it will be just like software piracy, there will be civil disobedience as well, and they will never truly be able to stamp it out. And it raises First Amendment issues as well. I think it's morally wrong to prohibit the devel

I had the same problem in the open plan office at a former employer. A vicious circle sparked by me getting upset from a family related issue, and amplified by the manager opposite. The more he would start interfering and observing me, the

Assuming the article is true, then this is what you get when we are living in a de-facto Police State? The frog has boiled so slowly we didn't see it coming. I'd personally prefer living out in the sticks, growing my own food rat

What's even worse is that it's quite normal for adults to be sexually attracted to post-pubescent teens, and the term for an exclusive sexual preference for such is 'ephebophilia'. Technically pedophilia is an exclusive

This is so true. The "morality" when it comes to sex, is thinly disguised religious dogma, that has been passed down the generations unquestioned. A 17 year old is absolutely capable of consent. However I feel if she has been mani

I doubt if any VPN is truly secure, even ones that truly don't keep logs, because of the activities of Team Cymru and other actors as well. NSA and GCHQ have been known to trace through VPNs, as far back as 2013 in the Snowden leaks.

It could be that the Linux kernel random number generator has been backdoored on all the large cloud computing platforms. They could be even snooping the entropy pool in memory, as the system is operating? You don't know what's re

Not happy with any overlay network in this day and age, I have a feeling they have all been compromised. One wrong click and the Thought Police will be at your door. Or at least the chilling effect of not knowing whether it's compromis

Yes, like in the UK, where it's practically already a de-facto police state.

Well this "highly illegal content" is yet another attempt by the state to police our creativity. It is a thought crime. It's the 21st Century, we should not be conducting moral witch hunts in this day and age. That rightfully

So true, I cannot believe how modern society has become so censorious. Being able to explore every area of life in graphic fictional detail, is part of being human, it's necessary intellectual freedom for us to grow as individuals, int

I don't think allowing teenagers to access pornography would cause significant harm to them. The only risk is them carrying out unsafe sex practices from the porn, which can be remedied through education. The reason we prohibit teenage

We work around that by downloading a torrent of the entirety of Wikipedia. Then there is nothing the government can do to find out what we are reading. Same for Library Genesis, which holds over 2.5 million books, but that's rather exp

Can't you just map the flash into the the host's PCIe memory space, at least for reading, then you can have random access to it? Though some speed penalty if accessing different rows from the flash rapidly in succession. You can j

The modern replacement, as mentioned in the article, is PON. It's a shared network where they typically run a single fiber from the exchange or local node to roughly 32 homes. The signal is optically split between the homes, very much

Yes, I changed my mind and agree with you now. And consider it nuclear waste.

Someone has to speak up, otherwise we will remain in the present situation, which sounds very dire indeed. OK, whatever it is, it's my first foray into it, and I hope I'm treading carefully enough?

And that is the essence of the "spiral of silence", because everyone stays quiet about it, then the problem never gets tackled by the community. It's precisely how totalitarian regimes work. We should all make a considerable

As usual, it's bad wording there on my part. I'll update it to replace "any pathogens" with "most pathogens". Wait, I can make some more changes, but I'm so tired, having been in front of a computer almost

The mushrooms are not suitable for human consumption, but in the process of breaking down the waste, the fungus destroys most pathogens present. Then you can use the spent mycelium as high grade garden compost, to be spread on the soil to e

Is that something to do with Geek Feminism and the imposition of "codes of conduct" on conference attendees? And doing so has politicized the events? If that is true, then it's yet another example of pressure groups imposing

There might be unintended consequences resulting from perfect enforcement of the law. Knowing that you are under constant surveillance and one infraction could result in a fine might create a backlash of sorts, to say the least.
