Misterhouse - a Home Driven by Perl Scripts

An anonymous submitter copies from the website: "MisterHouse is an open source home automation program. It's fun, it's free, and it's entirely geeky. Written in Perl, it fires events based on time, web, socket, voice, and serial data. It currently runs on Windows 95/98/NT/2k/XP and on most Unix based platforms, including Linux and Mac OSX. It can talk, it can check your messages, control the lights, program your VCR, and what is best - it understands spoken commands. It can even track your car by interfacing to a TNC. And there are 600 users and 209 authors contributing to this project. Cool, eh?"

    Yeah, now for the rest of us who aren't subscribing, Slasdhot stories are 3 days and 20 minutes out of date, instead of just 3 days.

    I just wish I could mod down the stupid notice that begs me to subscribe every time I come to the page.

    I really knew very little about all of this before then. But I have always believed Children need to be protected from those who want to hurt them. I have never in my life, read so many sick and twisted statements as those from the people on this forum who are Pro-Child Erotica, or "Child Modelling", or whatever you want to call it. Between looking at some of these sites, and listening to the posts of the Pro-Child Erotica people, i just feel SICK. Just having any type of verbal exchange with this type of sick mentality has been very disturbing to me, yet very enlightening, as to the dark side of human nature. I have never talked to people like this in my life, other than 2 personal examples.
    I have to say thank you very much to the hundreds who have spoken out against this evil occuring against our children. Its obvious to me, the VESTED INTERESTS of this industry only care about money.

    The solution must be one something along the lines of banning all of these PAY sites for children under 18. No money = no promoters. And also set very strict guidelines about what can be shown and done on these sites.

    The pedophiles, and those who profit from them will always find their little niche in the law to exist. But right now its wide open.

    I ask anyone who reads this, to contact all levels of Gov't, your Representative, and all authorities, so we can stop this evil.

    I really had no idea the extent of this until a few days ago. Its like a vast interlocking web of evil that is ensnaring our children.

    Its a shame i could not have dealt with these Pro-Child Erotica promoters in face to face discussions, so as to be able to clearly read their characters and motives.

    I cling to the hope that Justice will be served on these people in the future. I have seen true justice served on abusers, although sometimes it takes a long time for them to get caught.

    Now i am going to read some posts from the GOOD PEOPLE on this site now, the people who love and protect their children, to lift my spirit after engaging with the sick and evil and selfish mentality of the Child Exploiters/Abusers.

    Does anyone know how many families are being destroyed by the internets extreme of child erotica, modelling. porn whatever you want to call it? It's like booze to the sex drive of so many men. The bottle shops right in their private room. My story has been secret because I just didn't know what to think. The opinions of people coming forward now, justify my gut feeling of how WRONG any form of child sexualization is. My husband 43, started with playboy, ok, then sex pictures online when computors became available, ok. Then I discovered whole library collections of thousands of child erotica photo's with children 7-12 years clothed and unclothed. oh, their legal paysites - NOT OK>

    I will never understand the desire. It's private for him. I am now locked out of his computor. I feel he will never act of his thoughts. What do we have thought police now? I will never have children with him. If the internet was not there as a tool for him to explore child erotica, he would never publically express or seek knowledge. Simply because child erotica isn't that easy to find anywhere else. This has destroyed a huge part of my thoughts on marriage, life and the mind's of a huge MAJORITY of mankind. Take that!!!

    That is a clear signal to men who are sexually attracted to young girls. Men who are like this, know they are abnormal. They know they are "different" than most of the other men that they know.
    "You know who you are", seems to me, is a WINK to the men who are sexually attracted to little children. Its a form of CODE. Its saying, "You know that you are really like this on the inside, I am like you, i have pictures for you", or something like that.

    Thank God for your post. The last post i just read from the mother who sells her 2 daughters on one of these sites, almost made me physically il
