Samsung smart TVs already show a small ad on the home menu.

I wouldn't say that it necessarily expresses a certain opinion towards women. I think a lot of people used it just because that's how it's done. It's a piece history, a "fun" tradition. A lot of people didn't even knew that this was taken from a pornographic magazine.

However, thinking critically about it and considering a lot of good points, it's surely not "fun" anymore and I also think it's better to stop this.

Yes, let's just shove everyone into one drawer and completely forget that some do it for fun, some out of financial necessity, and let's also forget all the problems it can cause when using such an image in lectures, research and similar professional settings. /s

For those, interested in an overview about more criticism, just head to the according section on Wikipedia.

Yes. I think so. It just takes an exponential amount of energy and/or time. At some point it will stop due to energy limitations. Or will be stopped because computation time approaches infinity, even if all energy in the universe is available.

Also, now I think about the movie "The Thirteenth Floor".

That's also what I meant by capitalism "in it's current form". Yes. ^^

What? Unbelievable. I'm shocked. Shocked, I say. This really comes as a surprise. I would've never expected this. No one would have seen this coming. This is really outrageous. They are innocent. I can't comprehend this. No way! It's not acceptable! /i

Capitalism – in it's current form, a system where some exploit others in order to make profit.

Aaand there goes another service again, which I've never used and now will probably never even think about using.

That's why you need several security layers and failure protection systems.
