#3544873 - 03/25/12 01:05 PM Egypt to ban online porn
Desert Eagle Master of the Weird Veteran Registered: 01/06/01 Posts: 10248 Loc: Portugal	http://www.neowin.net/news/egypt-gets-ready-to-ban-online-porn Quote: For many, online pornography is just another handy (giggle) convenience offered by the web. For some, porn is celebrated as a driving force in the development of web technologies and online economies. For others, however, pornography is viewed as a destructive force in society, one that has had a negative effect on individuals, families and even communities. Authorities in Egypt appear to be positioning themselves firmly in the latter category; The Next Web cites a report from domestic news source Egypt Independent, claiming that the country’s Ministry of Telecommunications and Information Technology is now taking its first steps towards a nationwide ban on internet porn. Mohamed Salem, Minister for Telecoms and IT, recently announced the formation of a committee which will assess and report on the practicalities of implementing such a ban. Yes I'm sure that will stop them from rioting. _________________________ ©2010-oo All Your rights belong to Me By reading this You acknowledge that Your body and soul, including all your worldly possessions, are now property of this poster.

Look at what the Taliban did to Hindu monuments in Afganistan. _________________________ The opinions of this poster are largely based on facts and portray a possible version of the actual events.

Actually Beta Max was superior. Been a while, but I forget why it failed over VHS. It was also supposed to lead the HD DVD charge over Blue Ray. Oh well, .500 isn't a bad batting average.

Betamax failed because the porn industry adopted VHS! For reals!
