Whitelisted internet mode, this is fucking trivial. Switch it on when your child is on the internet.

I discovered a while ago that most crossings in the UK have a little metal nubbin underneath the button...When it's safe to walk the metal thingy whirs around, and it stays still when it's not safe!

Genius.

Not sure how much vegetables cost in the USA, but everywhere I've been they're pretty fucking cheap. I'd question why someone is deemed capable of having a child in the first place if they can't spend a few pounds a week on some vegetables that may or may not be eaten...

I may be naive in saying this, but people shouldn't be proving their own innocence...law enforcement should be trying to prove their guilt

Original definition of scum: a film or layer of foul or extraneous matter that forms on the surface of a liquid.

Aren't your personal emails already copyrighted to you by default?

Because in the office it's the other way around:

75% are bums, and need to be fired. 20% are typical workers, 5% are insanely ambitious and should be paid more, not less

Is this "billable hours" thing even true? I'd expect a company such as Sony to retain a law firm rather than hiring lawyers on an hourly rate? That's how my company works, and they're an international energy utility...

I suspect the "anger the fundies" problem is primarily a USA-centric issue, the rest of the modern world is probably working hard on this...

Would we be able to see these power lines or easily know where they are? I don't know much about the technology but it seems like a bird, person, aircraft or anything getting in the way of these wouldn't fare too well? And wouldn't rain cause trouble?

Doesn't Google have offices and servers in nearly every developed country in the world? If the MPAA tried anything, surely they can simply set up shop elsewhere and carry on?
