  • You should see what searching was like on AltaVista. You’d have to scroll past dozens of posts of random numbers and letters to find anything legible. Click through and your computer would emit a cacophony of bell sounds and pour out screens of random nonsense and then freeze permanently. You had to rely on links and web-rings to navigate with any degree of success.

    And that in itself was a massive improvement on what was available before.













  • I don’t see many options between asking for a birthdate and asking for ID for this problem. I don’t see any way that this can be enforced that isn’t problematic.

    The senate inquiry outlined the two likely solutions :

    1. Uploading ID to the website.

    2. 3D face scanning. This will include continual monitoring so if another person comes into view they will have to face scan in. Remember, its prohibited for chidren to even watch prohibited content with their parents.



  • I think it was Airport (not Airport 707). It was a Rank film.

    I love how spoofing it meant 95% of the dialog and story was the same. What a classic.

    Actually they changed the plot to make it less silly.

    In the original, the WW2 pilot is on the ground and is lowered into the 707 from a helicopter through the front window. This is briefly referenced in Flying High when they lower the window like in the original.
