Who decides where the art erotica boarder is? There is plenty of content that would straddle that border, I have seen art that could legitimately called pornographic and pornography i would describe as art. Who decides? And then you have prudes Florida Texas red states trying to prevent remove any thing from an .edu and would happily ban the .xxx entirely and would find any .art suspect and probably ban it.

Sort of like how the movie Charade staring Carry Grant and Audrey Hepburn is public domain (due to failure to file back when that was required in the 1970's) but the soundtrack is not. So the music is in the pubic domain only when played in the movie but played separately the music is still protected.


That is a nice movie, BTW.


we automated fortune telling a long time ago

yeah before potato they had lots of lots of turnips and rutabagas, it is little wonder they went out exploring the world looking for anything better to eat. the new world gave tonnes of food not just nightshade family plant mentioned earlier (gp left out eggplant btw) corn, sweet potato, chocolate, sunflowers, and pumpkins, squash, peanuts, pineapple, cranberry and turkey.


Eggplant is actually an old-world nightshade! Arabs brought it to Spain as early as the 8th century, probably from Southeast Asia


maybe some proof of work scheme to load page content with increasing difficulty based on ip address behavior profiling.


realistically you can't ban computers for home work as you dont control the environment. and as for banning them for exams that may work for most of the humanities math chemistry and physic, but good luck trying to teach a computer science degree without computers, or graphic design, or any of a number of of programs that are reliant on them if you want student to be competent with standard tools of their trad which are on computers. audio engineering computer video editing computers


Outside of distance learning - I think computers are very rarely used for CS exams in my, albeit dated, experience.


People not long ago were literally programming on paper.

So no, computers are not required to teach computer science.


Well that and decades of being the only industrialized nation not carpet bombed in a world war we have been riding on that and being issuer the global reserve currency for decades.


more than just carpet bombing -- the nukes, the genocides, the Communist purges before (USSR) and after (Red China)

all advanced countries basically got slaughtered to varying degrees and the US saw no real systemic damage and comparatively light levels of dead.

it's like if all of NATO and the Asian Tigers collapsed today except for China -- already a dominant player they jump to superpower status


Game of thrones problem wasnt going on too long quite the opposite. The show runners were assholes to the author of the books their show was based on and he wouldn't work with them anymore then when they got an offer from Disney they decided to cut the show short and finish it one season and cut major character development to get to the pre determined ending resulting in people having sudden character changes or clever characters start carrying the idot ball.


"Maxflix" sounds like a name for a pornstudio but it is i guess better than the alternative of "NetB.O."


Very close to Netflix's core business: violence.


I don't find Netflix "live action" movies to be super violent and there are a lot of non-violent shows. Its animations can be quite violent though (and those are good quality). From the little I know, it, like every other big platform, does shy away from sex. This has been a theme for decades - its ok to be violent but sex is a no no.


obligatory xkcd is today's oddly enough. is OP Randle Monroe?

seriously though customer support from mega corps is almost non existent anymore unless you are big enough to have lawyers negotiating your support contract for you or you have a social media fallowing bigger than some world leaders.


LOL! It seems like they used that as the design document, but removed all paths that lead to success.
