I wonder if Best Buy will sell $500 gold plated Monster 3D glasses to go along with the tv’s. I can hear the Best Buy sales associate now…
“The glasses included with that TV are defective and only give you a 2.5D viewing experience. You NEED these Monster brand glasses! While you’re at it, you should probably get an extended warranty and a subscription to Sports Illustrated.
What is the reason to support .xxx? Because Dvorak supposedly had the idea or because it would limit pron to a certain domain.
#1 Is vain
#2 Is naive
Perhaps Dvorak should propose a xxx.yourdomains.ads domain so all advertising is restricted to a .ads domain … and then let’s see how that works.
Either this is vanity or ignorance. Enough said.
xxx domain makes total sense. Those firms that peddle porn would support it and it would be far easier to keep that stuff away from kids.
There is everything to like about implementing an XXX domain.
The downside is the conservatives would want to move to .XXX anything with a hint of a possibility of remotely having the suggestion that someone might think could be interpreted to infer or have some sexual connotation or showing more than one male together unless they are killing each other.
The porn industry apparently doesnt want it, presumably because they wont get all the mistaken hits that they would get from .com, and that its easier to filter out porn sites at the root domain level.
A XXX TLD is quite possibly the dumbest idea ever conceived. Does anyone really think that the porn purveyors are really going to agree to switching to a TLD that will automatically be blocked by most content filters? Does anyone with a shred of intelligence think that it will make any difference whatsoever?
FFXIII is no Final Fantasy. The original crew who created the franchise is gone and all there is are 100% Enix employees.
The biking map is a very good thing — many trails are hard to find even using actual biker maps. Around DC are a bunch of interesting trails but if you aren’t aware of where they run you can get yourself either lost or trying desperately to avoid crazed cabbies and suv’s.
As for 3d — based on the movies I’ve seen thus far I can’t see the market working very well. They haven’t made the 3d REQUIRED for the movie/show. Most of the 3d work is flash, inching out of the screen. Not something that pops up in your peripheral vision that the characters see, which you then need to turn and look at. They get it to that level and you can guarantee sets getting sold.
Since the official IPCC review started yesterday, you must have a heckuva crystal ball.
Just cause a XXX TLD is available doesn’t mean that porn sites will be required to use it. Those who want to, can. Those porn sites that make a living by exploiting web surfing mistakes can stay on COM.
There are porn merchants who aren’t trying to be something else. These would be the actual content providers, where the consumer pays money for nude images of people. For them, XXX might be a good idea.
These production websites are already well known and are blacklisted by list services that some companies know. So being automatically blacklisted by their TLD won’t loose them anyone.
I’m never sure if people who make the Final Fantasy gripe are serious or not.
But just in case anyone is…
The short version of the story is that when the developers were still just called Square, they had run out of resources and only had enough capital to make and distribute one last game before severing their ties and moving on. Since it was their last game, they called it Final Fantasy. It became a mega-hit and then more came, adopting Final Fantasy as the name of the series. Most of the games have completely different storylines (Final Fantasy X being the only one with an actual sequel, FFX-II, read as Final Fantasy 10 2, as in the second part of the tenth story).
So, in summation, Final Fantasy is just a name. Don’t get caught up in semantics. 😛
Porn is the most important content on the Internet.
