How is taking down a website for unlawful behavior compare to executing someone for what other people are legally saying on his website? If the government called in an air strike on tvshack's headquarters, then it would be a fair comparison.

OK, let me get this straight. You are saying that ONE computer in one house, accessed through ONE internet provider, (maybe two) is better than billions of dollars of hardened data centers from Google, Microsoft, Rackspace, etc? I suggest you wake up and smell the ubiquitous data access dood, before someone decides to jack your vintage Sun workstation from your basement. I will not mention the cell networks, since you depend on those very same networks, just like everybody else, unless you're home and a flood, fire or brownout has not nuked your hardware, along with all your data. (Yeah, I know, offsite backups, how many days till you're back up, if you can find the key to the safety deposit box, redundancy is a bitch in a non-virtual environment)

Jeez, why do I feel I like drank my slurpee too fast? Thanks for the info dump! :)

Exactly! This is a classic conditioning exercise. Whether done in a video game or with flash cards, *you are going to be conditioned*! :) Of course, this rarely translates IRL as cleanly, but, *you are going to be conditioned*! :) If something is repeated often enough, in whatever form, *you are going to be conditioned*! :)

TFA doesn't say anything about skin color. Its only 200 words or so long, try reading it. At least you labeled your post correctly!

Obviously you weren't here two days ago when "for all intensive purposes" was enshrined in the /. lexicon. (at least in my book!) So re-facking-lax, I was trying to be funny! :)
