Submission + - Dennis Ritchie - The creator of 'C' has died (google.com) 1
Let us take a moment to grief for a person who has greatly contributed to the technology world we now know.
well we have this system here in denmark, dns based blocking of child pronograf sites, then allofmp3 was added to the list, thepiratbay was next.
Now "illegal" gamling sites, aka we have single monoply for gamling in danmark, Next up sites selling medicin....
all this controlled in a none transpart way, just like the politicians like it.
Fight it, any way you can, onces its inplace its too late, and it WILL expand to block things others than its original purpose.
Now we have spend years telling people to look at the url for https, to look there if the bar is green fro those extented certificates things, and now they want to do away with it.
Oh and that window that just totally locks up your browers, naa you dont want to know that url anyway, you are smart enough use another brower to get that.
Sounds great, push ads over a metered slow mobil connection.
To the systems programmer, users and applications serve only to provide a test load.
