Porn Backlash begins



Why is it in this day an age that if you lose a child it suddenly becomes your right to change the laws of this country if you can get enough board house wife's to sign a bit of paper?

A mother whose daughter died at the hands of a man obsessed with violent internet porn has won her fight for a ban on possessing such images.

The government has announced plans to make the possession of violent porn punishable by three years in jail.
because this is going to make us so more safer, not!

This is yet another nee jerk reaction to a problem that does not exist, How is stopping any one from looking at S&M porn going to stop those who would and should be in a mental asylum if not for the fact that the government has cut funding so much that we are now stuck with care in the community.

You only have to read the governments own consultation to see that out of 313 people who where questioned 223 thought the new law was a bad idea.

Their report says about 50,000 people signed a petition asking for these laws. Of those, 90 responded to the consultation in favor, ie excluding organizations - such as GCHQ - who submitted a response. Yet 223 individuals responded against. That suggests a large number of people are privately against the proposals. So this might not be a wise political move for a Government already under broad attack for dismantling civil liberties.
Even the BBC is having to defend its self after being inundated with so many messages against this law that the editors of the Ten o'clock news has had to comment on the official BBC blog.

Out of 71 comments the majority think this law is a bad idea, apart from Liz Longhurst, and here 50k army (most of which probably only signed up because they where ambushed on the street and signed out of pity or guilt, after all why do you sign any thing in the street?) No one thinks this is a good idea.

I have already emailed my MP using writetothem.com I love this site and use it to talk to any of my elected representatives any time I have a problem with he way the country's run, and the best bit is they have written back 100% of the time.

So stopping letting our government get more and more detached from the majority while the vocal minority takes over!

Go and let them know how crap this law is.

Around the World in 23 clicks



Technophilia has a great list up called "Around the World in 23 clicks" Some of the site's on it are not for ever one. Two I have found and have started to use,

  • Last.FM, Is way to share you play list's live over the internet as you listen to find new musci based on what your listening to, not to sure if like the idea of every thing I play in winamp showing up in a list Aka porn, but I am willing to give it a go for the time beeing and see how it works.
  • netvibes, Is my new home page, I use google.com atm, but tbh I only use becsue nothing better has been around, and I have used the net for over 12 years now. I have yet to find any thing I would actualy use.
    Even with google as my home page I still use the google serch tool bar in Firefox rather than the one on the webage, so its not like I am using it.

Ahree lee

,

Starting in November of 2001, I have been taking a picture of myself every day and I haven't stopped yet. Me was screened at a number of festivals in 2003 and 2004, including L.A. Shorts Fest, the Silver Lake Film Festival in Los Angeles, and Film Fest New Haven, where it won audience and jury awards. Music by Nathan Melsted.

I am not even going to comment I am just going to point you in the right direction.

Roadcasting



The inner geek in me loves this idea, But I dont know if would ever take off in the uk,

It is a system, currently in prototype state, that allows anyone to have their own radio station, broadcasted among wirelessly capable devices, some in cars, in an ad-hoc wireless network. The system can become aware of individual preferences and is able to choose songs and podcasts that people want to hear, on their own devices and car stereos and in devices and car stereos around them.

WiFi router with BitTorrent



The ASUS WL-700gE is a WiFi router. The usual stuff, nowadays. But it is the perfect companion of die-hard file-sharers.

Why? Because the router comes with a 160GB hard drive AND a BitTorrent client. (via p2pnet)

Such a system has two main advantages. First: It keeps downloading big files, podcasts and movies while the PC is switched off.

Second: Chunks of files come to your router and are stored into the hard drive, meaning they don’t need to be transmitted via airwaves to your computer. The WiFi LAN speed should thus be higher, increasing the audio quality and the quality of service of VoIP calls.


I want one cool or what, I have to have my pc in bed room and there is no way I could sleep with it on of a night, this would suit me perfectly.

Democracy Player / Diggnation



I have had Democracy player for a while now, but did not really start using it till the new version came out and you could chosse where to save the videos and not just be stuck saving them on your C: drive.

Its a great program since using it I have stopped watching TV alltogether! Thou to be fair all I have watched is the 57 eps of Diggnation at 30 mins each its take up some time, Diggnation rocks!

Diggnation is based of Digg also well worth a look, If you have not seen or heard off it you have to go check it out.

There is however litrally hundreds of channels on Democracy player, if you want to watch it there is some one out there making it.

I feel sorry for any one stupid enuth to get sucked in to that, never mind any one stupid enuth to pay him 12 mil for that domain, but saying that if you got a spare 12 mil lieying around and any old domain will do......
