Simply mentioning porn and spelling it wrong on purpose is not humorous at all. I'm sure you have plenty of porn though, good for you.

FYI: It's an old tradition to call that 'pr0n' and its variants. I first encoutered this spelling on Usenet long time ago, in a totally unrelated context.
Did Romans knew anything about viruses, let alone of their existence? I think it meant poison, not a microorganism, when used during Julius Caesar's times. The latter meaning was given to the word very recently.
If speaking and writing English, should not we try to use English grammar? There are many foreign words English borrowed from other languages for the past thousand years or so, and for the majority we use '-s'/'-es' to indicate multiples rather than trying to export foreign grammar rules for every word.
Think from one of the higher levels. Suppose you are a superbeing, like a human may be to animals on a farm, to insects in an anthill or to AI objects inside an advanced computing environment, or god(s) to this unverse.
To the imaginary superbeing at a much higher level of development, smaller worlds are deterministic. (S)he can design, create, percept, analyze, observe, destroy, watch to fail as many universes as they want, knowing the outcome of actions in dimensions limited to our knowledge. Just like you, using your percepted free will, pour vials with sulfuric acid of different volumes and concentrations an anthill, can predict very well how much and how soon the population will die, especially after destroying a few of them. The more information you have the easier it is to predict. If you knew the initial parameters down to every quantum state and electron phase when pushing a red "Big Bang" button, you could tell exactly what will happen, when and how. To you, this new universe is deterministic. The objects within it will have an illusion of free will because they are not able to comprehend the bigger picture.
To me, there is no conflict, and if you don't get it it's because my explanation probably sucks..
What if you wanted to cut / print on two hundred stones plates (or tiles, glass sheets etc) and in larger volumes than a person can write, thousands a day, for several years? Surely, it's not worth $10,000 if you need just one printed item.
I guess it's the same reason we use regular printers and digital storage and not 16th century monks manually re-writing bibles, one book a year.
How does this stuff applies to nerds? I don't see how it matters. All news outlets, online or dead tree ones, are already saturated with hollywood related junk.

Unix has done this for years, without a conversion program. I remember telnetting to classmates' Suns where/dev/audio was world-writable by default and doing 'cat ~quincy/myhomework/* >/dev/audio', watching them jump up startled as if a train ran through their heads.
BTW, what if pornware authors convert their.mov and.avi into binary files... We need to come up with a new crash signal, like `SIG69: Erection fault, load dumped'.
Also, the ancients weren't aware of all celestial bodies. Pluto was only a comparatively recent discovery. Does it mean the horoscopes were messed up for all these millenia because its influence wasn't taken into consideration??
There are too many threads/messages in this discussion for me to find out if anyone has suggested this already.. Anyway, search on Google for spammers' unsubscription front ends on the web and "unsubscribe" this address by entering it into the form, even if this address was just created. The amount of junk that will follow soon afterwards will make you glad that this is a throw out address created just for testing. Kind of beats looking for friends with unprotected Outlook address books or other vulnerabilities and waiting for the address to be picked up eventually.
Would a deal like this fly in Canada? I seem to remember many public corporations here have to be owned by a significant percentage of Canadian shareholders and some fat deals failed to happen because of that. Also, if it's a media outlet, they are made to provide some Canadian content in order to favored by the government and Sheila Copps (sp?), Canadian Heritage minister. Also noticable, many popular US magazines have versions with a few Canada-related pages missing in US issues, perhaps Time magazine has this? I guess ST media just lays cables and does not control content coming through so content control would not be applicable here, I just thought I'd mention that along. What is surprising is how the US can sell such important pieces of its infrastracture, and even media outlets. Perhaps cash means more down the border than ownership and content. Anyone remember some Japanese company buying lots of Holliwood movie makers about ten years ago? Are Americans worried about basically outsorcing their infrastracture management? Sincere concern, not a troll. -vladpetersen
In a very loose language, the substance reaches your brain and pushes the right buttons in order to make you lose touch with the reality if that substance is used on regular basis. Conclusion: take 7 different drugs on seven different days, then start again. The problem with SCO that they should take more breaks from smoking that stuff or the lawsuits will look even more ridiculous for those with normal* view of the reality.
I don't moderate and don't gather karma points so let me just verbally acknowledge that for me your post was +2 Interesting from linguistic point of view, although this discussion deviates from the original subject of OpenLindows, giving thus -1 Offtopic.
Many constructs of similar nature are often reproduced independently in unrelated countries/languages. Examples are not provided as I can't type fluently (if at all) with non-English kbd layouts.
Windows admins (at least those by choice or preference) seem to be better at tasks involving visual memory for learning and remembering. I agree that many settings and options are in different, sometimes confusing places from NT4.0, W98, W2K and WinXP, and after going through each of them once or twice one may easily remember where all the right dialog boxes and checkboxes are. Macs are similar in that respect. Can you find everything on a system using the mouse yet being unable to guide someone, say, over the phone, or finding it difficult to write down the sequence of them from memory, without looking at the computer at the same time? Or are you happy with using telnet and shell accounts, and can easily say something like `mount -t nfs host:/directory usr/directory' and 'smbmount -t smbfs//server/share/mount/winshare' but would rather avoid multicolor menus with options and buttons in sometimes illogical variety/sequence? Both proprietary OS/GUI designs as well as Linux desktop types suffer from the latter equally.

You could always buy something somewhat less peforming for a *lot* less money. How about Camaro, Mustang, Corvette? If you're into imports, older Nissan 300 FX, older Toyota Celica with turbo, or higher end Subary WRX.. Eagle Talon is another low cost well performing car. Just those that come to mind. If you don't mind the ego big "Wow, look at me, I'm in a ferrari" and just like fast affordable cars, those models are for you. Also, you can muck around with the models I mentioned and make a great performer with aftermarket parts and tuneups, that is still cheaper than Ferrari or Porsche ever be.

In Canada, there is a tax on taxes as well. You can experience it every time you fill up at a gas station. General Sales Taxes (GST) and Provincial Sales Tax (PST) and Transit Tax is on top of Fuel Tax. Or maybe it's the other way around.. I don't remember/too lazy to check. Sweden is not the only taxation-infamous country, the highest taxed of western countries - yes, but not the only one where they put a tax on top of other taxes. Several other European countires that have tax on taxes also srping to mind but that would go beyond this thread.
You hit the point buddy. Not only the "illicit" substances are available, they cost 3x more and the addict has to break in three times as many cars and households to get the same fix. I'd say moderate the parent up but realize that it's sort of off topic.
Anyway, I'm sure many/.ers will agree that upping the punishment not only often does not eliminate the crime targeted, it causes more crime in other, sometimes seemingly unrelated respects. Imagine if spamming made absolutely illegal everywhere, it may be even more lucrative for those few of top 10% who will still manage to find ways to send it without reprocussion, i.e. black market.
I'd guess that saying instead "Excort us to sector #8975159*#$&@@ would not tell much to the listerner/assimilation target. To be absolutely clear they use Federation sector coordinates. Something like when you talk to someone over the phone in a different time zone you may want to use their local time to be absolutely clear, or when collaborating on an engineering project, use correspondent's measurement system, as in metric vs imperial.
