I seem to recall there was a bad batch of k6's that had a bug that woudln't allow them to compile in gcc... I had a friend who would always ask me to compile shit for him because his machine couldn't do it...
I'm sorry I don't recall more then that but I'm willing to bet this is your problem
I got the statistic from watching the o'rielly factor:)... its for all child abuse though not just sexual abuse...
I don't know if pedophelia is any more of a mental disorder then homosexuality or tupperware fettishes... just look what richard geere will do with a gerbil we just choose to criminalize some fetishes and not others..
but we're abstracting the issue here -- I ain't gonna argue that its good to be abusing children... I believe that most of whats wrong with this country comes from the shitty way people treat their kids.
my beef is making ceartin strings of 1's and 0's illegal
. Granted, images of child pornography have always been illegal
Wrong bro, child pornography was made illegal in the 70's... america survived 200 years and it didn't colapse under the weight of the perverted masses..
Thats the problem about morality and ethics... they're soo hard to agree on!
at best morality and ethics are subjective...
The arrogance of small minds is pretty amazing:) Think about christians and abortion... those dudes think they know whats right for every human on earth... immagine the arrogance.
what people need to realize is the "slippery slope" does apply here...
The most beautyfull girl I've ever seen in my life was this 12 year old I knew, some, 10 years ago... she "looked" 20 at the time... but she was perfect in every sense of the word, sweet, kind, beautyfull beyond words...
Like it or not, kiddy porn is pretty much an acid test of our rights...
I don't think anyone would disagree with the statement that its wrong to abuse children...
But kiddy porn, is, just data. its 1's and 0's... the fact that the court choses to view some 1's and 0's as kiddy porn, others as constitutionally protected speach, others as renegade code for pirating DVD's, and yet others as pattented (ie gif's) -- is wrong.
I feel in the long run its an abridgment of my rights not to be able to have ceartin types of data in my posession... its all just data! If they want to stop child abuse -- stop drug use, which is responsible for something 80% of child abuse. It always easy to ring the kiddy porn bell for political reasons... most people hate it, and those who don't, aren't very vocal:)
I'd like to see a couple ammendments to the constitution, something along the lines of the universal turing principle right... the right to execute any algorithim! And the right to have to have any bit string (with modest exemptions for copyrighted material for say, 5 years:)
The measure of our freedom is now how we treat the speach we like, but how we tolerate the speach we hate.
If you don't like your cds, yopur buying the wrong cds...:) I have a (measly) collection of about 250 cds and I can honestly say there are 2 or 3 bad ones in the whole lot.
Strategy: buy cds from ARTISTS, not money grubbing mtv whores:)
Strategy: download mp3's of money grubbing mtv whores if you REALLY need to hear their music.
My feeling is that what music companies are really afraid of with mp3 is, consumers finding out exactly how awful an album is BEFORE we've dropped 20$ for it.
Sony has a similiar product called the
Emarker, its a keychain fob that allows you to "bookmark a song on the radio" so you can look it up later (and presumably buy them from a sony retailer. Even has a docking station
This is true, we've heard abuot this product before as well. Flourscent dies thru an optical disc (I believe someone mentionted this)...
however, two years ago when they announced it their stock went from.03 cents / share to like 15$ / share... I suspect their investors are a little bit nervous at this point, 2 years later, with no product to mention.
Win2k darkens the area under the mouse ever so slightly like a show, which does increase the cool factor by alot and the usefull factor by a little:) it is easier to see the mouse... however you gotta run win2k to get that feature so...
Theres really no need to argue this point -- it is simply a control issue.
Universities wish to maximize their potential profits and gains regardless of wether they are "right" in doing so. Universities have money and lawyers and you're playing their game anyways if your employed by them or if you are a student.
The real cost is people aren't inclined to work when they don't "own" their end results:
I work as an admin at my university... once I was asked to create a finger print recognition system that would unlock doors / allow access to computers based on thumbprints. I could have done it, would have been alot of work (we have some fingerprint code already). But I refused -- interfacing the finger scanners on all of the machines we run here (Irix, Solaris, NT, 98, ME) would have taken months to figure out, and the 10$ an hour I get paid dosen't buy much hard work. Not to mention that IO Software hasn't even done that -- and thats who we get our finger scanners from (and some grant money). Basically, I would have been intellectual slave labor for IO Software... fuck that:)
in his warm comfy bed in his appartment paid for by his job at radioshack with his girlfriend (or gay lover) who only loves him for the fabulous lifestyle that his radio shack sallary affords him.
most US citizens are well adjusted:) its a small minority of crazy fucks who seem to get on the television alot and give the other 99% of us a hard time... we don't have control of the television and our politicians, and thats the only way the rest of the world forms its oponions of us.
Maybe linux dosen't wanna be your os:) seriously, thats the thing about linux, its no ones responsibility to make it fun or easy for you to use:) no ones at all...
My favorite patent of all time is for a cat "laser excercise" device... basically you shine a lazer at the floor and the cat chases it.. but lord its patented. the patent holder obviously has a sense of humour. its as good an idea as anything I've seen patented recently... anyone have a link to this?
These are pretty common things... I had one when I was a kid, I'd stick a radio in the xmas tree and scare the shit out of people by talking to them as they walked by (had a built in mic):)
The problem is they data density is too high on 3.5" floppies (all anyone uses anymore). I have low density 5.25" floppies from the early 80's that still work, and high density 5.25" from the late 80's that still work fine (copies of monkey island mostly:).
Also, alot less care is put into their manufacture, when you were paying 2 - 3$ a disk the incentive was to make robust disks... now at 10 - 20 cents retail for a 3.5" theres no quality at all.
What the gentleman should do is put 5.25" drives in your machines!
I had a device called the gamestar in 1992 or 3 that was very similiar... it was actually a 6 button nintendo classic controller, (purists will say the nintendo didn't have 6 buttons, but this one just had "turbo buttons"...) with a converter box that converted the nintendo protocols into remaped keypresses and plugged inline with the keyboard... you could load keypressess into it with a dos util it came with, or do them by hand with a button on the converter box...
The coolest thing about the whole thing really was that you could plug ANY nintendo controller into your pc... So you could go buy a nice aftermarket nintendo controller. Which was great because in 1992 everyone was into those flight sticks and about the only pad you could get was the gravis gamepad (which sucked).
so you can see this really isn't a "new type of gadget" at all...
I've been thinking about this a bit... and the SDMI is worthless, unless, every audio player observes it... based on that thought, I've prepared two scenarios
1. SDMI is already secretly built into all of our hardware, unlikely since they don't appear to have settled on a technology, but possible. It could be an older spec they had intended to replace.
2. The RIAA must replace all audio devices with ones they've corrupted. They could probably make deals with slimy japanese owned corps. Their assholes get wet over this type of stuff. Smaller manufactureres would be harder... Taiwan, china, etc... they will make whatever progress they can with this, but they know its a losing battle. What could be successfull, is a new format... like dvd audio which was delayed for some mysterious reason. They beef up the encryption, force the industry to play by their rules, and start phasing out cds... it might take 10 years to phase out cds, but... when they do, they'll be back on easy street!
Good idea, but I take this one step further. If I don't like the *PRICE* of a program, I don't buy it OR stick to the EULA:) Win2k? 280$ ? I can get it ALOT cheaper then that:) "Piracy" (a bullshit loaded term) is price competition in a monopoly market.
I have high hopes, but I don't expect the FTC to be enlightened enough to do whats right here:)
But seriously, theres no way any of these licensces are legal anyways. As oft pointed out, these licensces are a legal agreement, legal agreements require contracts, signatures and notary publics. What about the "lack of communication" standard? What if a spanish speaker buys MS word? He can't read the document... what if I *PURPOSEFULLY* don't read it? (because thats exactly what I do;-) That legally constitutes "lack of communication"? I don't care what a little piece of paper says... I bought the program, its mine:) ain't no one taking my monkey island:)
We have something similiar at the library at my university, a sign on the wall says "by using these facilities you agree to be searched by security personel" (I'm paraphrasing)... that can't be legal either.
