Also, remember that porn featuring women with small breasts is considered child porn in Australia.
No it isn't, stop repeating every stupid thing you saw on Reddit.
Porn where women are depicted as being under-age is simply refused classification. There is a vast difference.

1&1 is a terrible host - I write a moderately popular WordPress plugin, and the only host-specific bug reports I get are for 1&1 - even shitty GoDaddy hosting is better.

It reminds me of DragonDictate, in that there is no connection between what I say and what it thinks I said. Google Voice Search does a better job of imitating Siri than Iris does.

Submission + - Ballmer, Bezos Fund Effort to Undermine Bill Gates
theodp writes: You know what they say — it takes money to avoid paying money. TechFlash reports that Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer and Amazon.com CEO Jeff Bezos have contributed $100,000 each to an effort to defeat an income tax on individuals in Washington state making more than $200,000. The backers of Initiative 1098, which is set for the November ballot, include Bill Gates (Sr.), who has emerged as one of the most vocal proponents of the income tax. Under the proposal, which has drawn the ire of the Bezos and Ballmer-backed Defeat 1098, no tax would be due on the first $200K of income, 5% tax would be owed on income between $200K and $500K, and everything above $500K would be subject to a 9% tax (cutoffs are doubled for joint returns).
