You get a document sent to you by a cow orker. It's in Word format.
Well, what do you expect from someone who orks cows?

Just because it happened historically doesn't mean that it's still happening, or that it was the main thrust of the functioning of that religion in the past.
The Catholic church's genocidal position on condom use is happening right now and is a core part of the religion.
The net censorship in Australia is driven by religious ideology. Bad ideas are religion's gift that just keeps on giving.
Separation of Church and State
Bwaaaahahahaha!! Golden. Never grows old.
Since when has any member of the Murdoch media empire ever engaged in "Quality journalism".
My understanding is that his father Keith Murdoch
was actually a quality journalist whose actions helped to bring attention of the gross mismanagement of Australian troops in the first world war.
He passed on the news limited shares that Rupert used to build the empire. So arguably there was a quality journalist among the Murdoch media empire membership.
Mmmm. "naked women" shows up images largely of just that but "naked japanese women" shows up pretty much everything but what you'd expect.
Bing also failed me in my quest for "naked italian women" but it did turn up a picture of someone underwater which could possibly have been a naked Italian woman under the Santa suit.
Either Microsoft feel that it's not appropriate for me to choose the ethnicity of my naked women or they've got some tuning left to do.
I've never actually installed Oracle so I'm genuinely curious as to why installing something that's "Enterprise" oriented should be difficult.
I appreciate that more work might go into tuning your hardware/OS to make it hum, but "sensible defaults" seem to work elsewhere. Why not provide an easy install that you then optimize?
The existing music industry infrastructure is dying. Music won't.
So, if I understand you correctly, you seem to be saying "You can't stop the music." Can nobody stop the music?
Ok, in all seriousness. What evidence do you have for making the claim that your laws are based on Christian morality?
It makes no more sense than saying that the rules on the school bus are based on Christian Morality.
but you might remember "Thou shalt not commit murder"
The reason that there's a law against killing people is because people don't like being killed. They don't need a deity to tell them that if they don't discourage killing people that they're more likely to be killed themselves.
Laws against sodomy are definately based on Christian morality.
Any laws against sodomy your country has almost certainly stem from religious bigotry. Unsurprisingly, they're among the most useless and harmful.
Our entire legal system is based upon Christian morality.
Yeah, from memory Christ was particular down on pirating MP3s but came out strongly in favor of software patents.
Pull your head from your ass.
I think you mean pull thy head from thy neighbor's ass.
If one managed to censor 100% of all child pornography without affecting anything else, there wouldn't be much complaint.
Well there should be. If one managed to prevent the production of such material then I would not complain.
You seem to be buying into the idea that this is about protecting children. Or at least the bizarre idea that it's ok for children to be abused as long as we don't accidentally tune into it.
What's becoming increasingly clear is that it is not about protecting children. It is about enforcing views and most of those views appear to stem from theological rather than rational origins.
The quantity of killing in a video game is often better than the act of hunting down one person.
Even if that one person is a game reviewer?
Any society that feel the need to implement censorship in order to 'function' is already badly broken and censorship will only prolong the suffering and delay the inevitable, making it unavoidable.
Whilst I completely agree with you, you've just given me an insight into what it must be like to be an Iranian or a citizen of Oklahoma.
I doubt that most Australians agree with this legislation. Actually, I think that most haven't thought about it enough to see the seriousness of it. But that's really the point. The filter in its current form has not been put to the electorate for a vote.
