I don't understand all the bitching about Mono, it is a nice platform and runs very well in my experience. I love F-Spot and never have it crash, with my 100's of photos i take and import into it and export to my smugmug account. Also, Tommy Boy is a very well put together application that works great. Also, last i heard Shotwell was not as feature complete as F-Spot is, which is a stupid move, hey should we use this app that does 100% of what the users want and need as well as being pounded on for awhile being it was included in, at least, the defacto linux install for most linux users, or go with this new thing that does about half? That is a easy choice, lets remove functionality and throw out the more validated application. just stupid

NO, the argument is VERY sound. There is due process for a REASON. Yes, if it is my child I would want the person TOOK the pictures to go to jail or even be killed, but what if I was mistaken or what if it was accidentally downloaded. I know of a couple of cases were kids were taking pictures of themselves and then link baiting people so that they would go to the site and download these pictures, also a government agency put up a honey pot somewhere to catch child porn viewers, and someone found it and people started passing the link around and tricking people into clicking it. I would want that person to be locked up, BUT that is not MY job, in a free society, it is the job of a judge and jury to prove that that person did the deed and, if found guilty, to figure out what the level of punishment for that crime is, the judicial branch is there to protect those accused along with those that are offended and with that said laying down well established laws and procedures just so that we find maybe .01% instead of .009% of the people that have child porn on their computers even mistakenly, is not a freedom that i am willing to give up. I don't condone child porn, adult porn on the other hand is A-OK in my book, but i see the "ends justifies the means" augment that tjstrock seems to be condoning and the current law enforcement view is never a good idea. -phuc
