What the hell does respect have to do with fear?!? NOBODY should ever be respected due to ANYTHING to due with fear, no matter how far you stretch the meaning of the word!
Wait... instead of trying to keep your girlfriend away from your account (due to porn), why not just put your PORN on another account (and hide it from the login screen)?!?
Better yet, drop vista, install ubuntu (or any distro really), and encrypt your "secret" login with encfs!
I'm not bashine Ubiquity (I actually REALLY like it), but you don't have to type "wikipedia" in the address bar either. 98% of the time "wiki " is all you need.
Note: this also works for other sites such as imdb.
Actually, I've never heard that one, nor do I understand how it applies...

I have never told a parent not to teach their child religion (nor would I ever dream of doing so), I simply wish that we didn't have this societal roadblock to worry about. As for school, religion has no place in the education system. Your education should consist of learning facts about life, working and skills that will help you later in life. Making a child a good person should never be up to a teacher, that is the parent's job!
When I have kids, I am definitely NOT going to bring them up with any religious view. If your child needs to fear a horrible fire-filled afterlife in order to make good decisions in life, then I fear for that child's future. Being a good person should have NOTHING to do with religion, and everything to do with examples set forth by their role models.
I believe very strongly that religion is (always has been, always will be) a scape-goat. "Why does the sun go up and down?" can be answered scientifically (we go around it), or religiously "some guy in a chariot pulls it around." The same goes for Ethics "Why can't I hit Billy?" can be answered simply as "You will go to hell if you are bad" or through and actual heart-to-heart talk with your kid about how such things make people feel and making them actual nice people.
I have always laughed at the term "God fearing Christian" because it implies that the only reason they are good is because they fear retribution.
Sorry for the rant, but I feel insulted every time someone thinks that the belief of their unproven gods are more important than the factual education of a child!
I think you are confusion the two types of cartoons here. If the cartoon was made by watching a child be molested (direct depiction of events), that would be child porn. If it is something you simply came up with in your head, that is thought-crime and should NOT be considered child porn.
The measure used to determine if something is child porn or not should be whether or not a child was harmed in the production of the material. Anything else is simply the persecution of a thought-crime.
Not to mention they have just removed the last safe release for all the would-be child molesters out there who are reading looking at their drawings instead of actually hurting kids!
It's like making a law against friendly hacking competitions. If the geeks can't get it out of their system with target machines, they'll hack something else (not good)!
When your house gets raided and the material you intended to keep private gets seized and is no longer private, we'll see how you feel about that argument.
I'm just waiting for someone to realise that April 1st was a spoof, and the attach will actually happen March 31st!

Who modded this troll??? This is the most unbiased view I've seen in this thread so far!
@Massacrifice: I agree with you 100%. I just wish that parents wouldn't impose their religious beliefs on their children (or ask the school system to do it for them).
If I encourage others to hate any organised religion in my country (the UK), I'm committing an offence (incitement to relgious hatred).
I dissagree. There is a big difference between hating a religion and hating the people who are a part of it. Calling Christianity stupid is not a crime. Insulting a Christian because of their beliefs, could be considered a crime. (Don't hate the follower, hate the religion).
BCIT actually uses "print servers". You print off your material to one of 2 printers (color / B&W), then walk up to ANY printer and print it out (using your student card).
It is an amazingly awesome system, except for 1 fatal flaw...LAB MACHINE ACCESS ONLY!!! They use a Novel print server, and nobody (trust me we tried) could get ANY operating system to talk to it properly (Ubuntu, XP, MacOS, Vista):(
A double blind taste test only works if you can't identify one of the items. If someone has already eaten lobster and human tastes even remotely different, they will know which is which and all will be for not.

Till a cop arrests you for suspicion of possession of stolen property!
You know, we don't bite.
What if we ask nicely?
Anywho:
Right, because you can deduce ethics from the amoral universe and physical principles.
So I guess my entire family, some of the most moral people I know, who are also ALL atheists must be a complete fluke then, huh?

HAHA, if you are between 16 and 18, it is already illegal for you to watch yourself having legal sex in most countries!

Whoosh?....
I have to say, I have no idea if the parent was joking or not..
I'd be more worried about malicious abuse.
1) User gets app
2) User doesn't like app so he buys/returns app over and over again
3) ???
4) un-profit!!!
Unless he logged in and checked "post anonymous"
Why would you want a sexbot that gets a head-ache every night?
Last time I checked, the victims of the holocaust didn't have much say in the matter.
I'd consider a bug zapper to be more of an assisted mass-suicide!
