I don't have a Kindle and have never bought anything from Amazon, so I'm just guessing a bit.
If I'm correct, you buy a book for your kindle, and then you can download that book to your kindle (or your pc)
When they (amazon) suspend/close your account, you can't download that book anymore.

Which should not be a problem, since you've downloaded it already. You can still use the file you've downloaded, can't you?
I don't see the big problem here.

so I can't search for 'gay AND sex' because I won't see the results that contain 'normal' sex?
kinda defeats the purpose of a search.

The simple fact you're doing is search is to filter out the things you don't want.
Ok, the default setting (no search terms) should be 'open' (everything should be listed), but after that: you're filtering

Could the Internet Be Taken Down In 30 Minutes? 289

GhostX9 writes "Tom's Hardware recently interviewed Dino A. Dai Zovi, a former member of Sandia National Labs' IDART (the guys who test the security of national agencies). Although most of the interview is focused on personal computer security, they asked him about L0pht's claim in 1998 if the Internet could still be taken down in 30 minutes given the advances on both the security and threat sides. He said that the risk was still true."

*yawn*

i'd rather see that people stop 'rescuing' other people from 'madmen'. All things considered it causes more trouble that it solves.
'freedom' is not something you can force upon others. Freedom is pillaged, raped, beaten and left for dead. Freedom has been reduced to a name for french fries.

Repeating age-old crap --no matter how 'righteous', 'true' or insightful it was back then-- doesn't help solve the problem and only shows that people will not learn from history, making the entire quote redundant.
