Full infiltration of the TOR network is pretty much necessary if they ever want to catch pedophiles in the act.

I've also got some philosophical issues with the removal of access to this content as well. If you take away CP from a pedo, doesn't it just mean that they're going to turn to alternative methods to fulfill their urges, such as nabbing little kids, and public indecency at parks, etc etc??

Sony To Detail "Premium PSN" Plans At E3 171

ranulf writes "VG247 is reporting that Sony will reveal their plans for 'premium PSN' services next month at E3, even though they've long stated that one of the PS3's advantages over the 360 is that they offer PSN for free. In addition to the premium services, they intend to offer a free PSN game to subscribers each month (from a choice of 'two to four games'), which should make the premium PSN effectively free if you already bought a game every month. VG247's source claims 'nothing planned will impact the service’s current free aspects,' and that 'there’s nothing in the premium package which will gimp regular PSN users.'"

Microsoft Sues Salesforce.com Over Patents 243

WrongSizeGlass writes "CNET is reporting that Microsoft is suing Salesforce.com in Seattle federal court, claiming it infringes on nine patents. Two of the patents in question are a 'system and method for providing and displaying a Web page having an embedded menu' and a 'method and system for stacking toolbars in a computer display.'" Microsoft says it first notified Salesforce more than a year ago about the alleged infringement.

You and every other person who has to deal with problems with computers feel exactly the same way. It's like... a wife that nags too much. You love her at first... but she keeps nagging... and nagging... and nagging. Eventually you cut the bitch and bury her in the backyard.

I don't know about you, but I pirate games as a demo. If I download one or two songs from a new album, and I like them, I'll go out and buy the CD.

I played half an hour of Just Cause 2 and decided to go out and buy the game within an hour of playing with the pirated version.

It's reasonable nowadays seeing as these companies are developing too many shitty games to release a goddamn demo, so more people will buy their shit because of the media hype, and not the actual gameplay.

It's a real shame, though, to see how many wannabe nerds there are in the world. In our introductory programming course, the instructor decided to use VB.net as the teaching language to go easy on us.
It's amazing how many kids (and I say "kids" because they have the IQ of 13 year olds) can't understand basic programming logic; 80% of the students either failed and/or dropped out of the program because they couldn't grasp it. Hell, the teacher even started allowing us to copy code from the internet if we needed to halfway though the course.
Meanwhile I was sitting there with 100% in the class, making a bunch of mini-games to play when I was bored, while all the other students gawked in amazement how pictures moved around the screen when I pressed a key.
