Cellphones are not the problem since it sends a picture from one person to another (or a couple), what they did was post it on a public website. BIG difference.
Are you a complete moron? WTF did the parents do? I assure you, at that age if all the kids are doing is sending nude pictures to their boyfriends they're practically saints.
The problem was not with them sharing the pictures with each other, it was them posting them to a PUBLIC website (myspace).
There is not much you can do to prevent kids from sharing pictures with each other (cell-phone image sending, physical copies, etc), but the kids obviously had un-supervised access to the internet to post these pictures in a very public place.
Also the only reason the kids would be "messed up now" is all this BS "think of the children" legal posturing.
Have you ever heard of the expression "pissing in a swimming pool"? It refers to what happens when you post something on the internet, it spreads. The only way to get piss out of a swimming pool is to DRAIN it, and that's not going to happen to the internet any time soon.
If the kids were dumb enough to post these photos on myspace, I guarantee you that they also posted their real name/address/phone/cell/etc as well. Just wait until they get older and their friends, potential employees, relatives, etc start googling their names... Trust me, this will come back to bite them in the ass HARD!
People need to wake up to the fact that once a child hits puberty they're going to start experimenting with sexual things, it's damn near the definition of "puberty".
This is true, but these experiments should private, not public for every pervert and sucker who clicked a planted link to see. If you found out your kid had sent nude pictures to a boy/girl friend, you may ground them. But if you were browsing myspace and came across the pictures, I'm sure you feel a little more strongly about it.
Please don't mention sending the phone service company to jail. All that will do is make the phone companies get scared and start doing some stupid image recognition and logging of all images sent via cellphone.
As for the parents, yes, something NEEDS to be done about them. Jail is probably a bad idea. If you think these kids are messed up now, wait till they find out their pictures got their parents sent to prison! There should be some serious monetary charges against these parents as well as some required parenting classes.
I never claimed to be an expert, or even an advanced user (though I have compiled a couple programs). I was just making a general user observation. I may be a "n00b" from your point of view, but I find the comment unwarranted and in bad taste. Had I tried pointing out specifics regarding the integrity of Linux, you could definitely use my "n00biness" as a point of argument (though a weak one), but I did no such thing.
I just hope you are nicer to people when (if) you help them out in forums and/or IRC...
Yeah, cause when I'm driving down the road in the late morning and early afternoon, I really need to see the sun perfectly reflected in the windshield of oncoming traffic!
I don't know about other countries, but here in Canada, it is actually ILLEGAL to have a reflective paint job. I'm sure they would treat reflective windows the same way.
Just take some of those cardboard trays that hold 144 eggs and glue them to the ceiling (covered in felt). That will work as a sound insulator and your mother will be able to sleep much more soundly.
Linux is NOT perfect. Anyone who thinks so is either an idiot or lying. For a lot of people, it is the best and of much better quality and calibre than the alternatives (windows, macOS), but definitely not perfect.

By "original of man", are you refering to the modern human (homo-sapien), their earlier ancestors (homo-erectus), or right back to primates? We have fossilized remains of pretty much every step from early primate to present-day human.
I guess you could also mean the beginning of the universe (big bang vs god's hand-wave).
Hmm, you almost had it. Unfortunately, even with small values of 5 (down to 4.5), you still need large values of 2. For something to be equal to 5 (closely), you require a result of 4.5 <= x < 5.5
RMS is a programmer right? I'm assuming he uses firefox (or something very similar). Why doesn't he just write his own damn extension and make it happen? It can't be that hard, grease-monkey does pretty much this same thing anyways!
Basically, all he needs is to convince web designers to add a header to their code specifying the license. But really, if we can't get them to stop using flash and to code to standards, what the hell kind of chance do we have of convincing them to license-header their code?!?
Try the "R" series. Mine was an R4125CA. I actually replaced it due to the power issues. Some day I'll hard-wire a generic one to it and turn it in to a server.
Yeah, but as much as I hate apple at least you get a plug that is technically superior to a standard one due the magsafe thing. I hate it when companies create proprietary plugs, but at least apple had a reason to, HP just thought "how can we fuck with them now?"
I hate proprietary plugs, but I do like the apple magsafe thing. If only you could buy just the blug (I would love to add one of those to my new laptop). I am not condoning $80 for it, they should sell just the cord, but at least you get some functionality that the regular one wouldn't give you, unlike the stupid oval piece of crap.
But you shouldn't end up there by typing "www.domain.com". If you got to the encrypted one, then either you typed in "https://", or the web-developer that wrote the redirect was a fucking idiot.
Dull as in boring, or dull as in not shiny (apple people, there is a difference).
If they mean boring, then fine, I can see that as a bad thing
If they mean not shiny, then what's the problem? I specifically bought a non-shiny phone (w385) because it has rubber on 50% of the phone and neither scratches nor needs a cover that makes it 150% thicker. If only it were unlockable...
Yes, but you were required to have a BetaMax license in order to sell anything on it. In fact, sony refused to allow any porn companies to use BetaMax, which was one of the reasons why they lost the format war.
Actually, they would most likely leave the site up and use it to find other sites that actually DO host illegal content. If the site had thumbnails, etc of the images available on the linked sites (even cross-linked images), I'm sure they could and would be taken down.
Try buying one for an HP laptop. Not only do they have that stupid fucking oval plug (no joke) which you can ONLY get from HP, it costs $90. The stupid thing? the brick didn't even die, the cable broke...5 times!!! The brick finally died when I was re-soldering it, again, and I tested with (with the cover off) and it shorted out.
My question is HOW they are comparing them to steel. Same strength as a piece of steel of comparable size/weight/diamater/thickness/etc. Also, there are MANY types of steel: stainless/raw/heat-treated/hardened/etc.
I can make clay much stronger than steel if you use a strand (think hair-sized) of steel and a piece of clay a meter thick!
But how do I know if I "couldn't" do it, or "wouldn't" do it? It could be that after attempting to do it, I would think that I wouldn't do it, but in reality, the universe was set up in a way that I would end not no doing it.
Thus I couldn't do it due the the pre-determined state that resulted in my perception of that I wouldn't do it.

That was kind of implied...

The same reason you can't sue an alarm company when someone breaks into your house.

Come on, Give them jobs people!
Or give them Balmer and watch his blood flow like a river!

Check out the R series (mine was an R4125CA).

:. 2 + 2 > 5 (for sufficiently large values of 2 && sufficiently small values of 5)
Parent:
2.4 + 2.4 = 4.8 ~ 5 (established by parent)
You:
2.0 + 2.0 = 4.0 < 4.5 (sorry, you still need large values of 2)
But with both...:
2.4 + 2.4 = 4.8 > 4.5

Is that why they include 1 or 2 songs? I thought it was so you could "test" it right out of the box.
I'm not being cynical, I'm actually genuinely curious as to whether or not these devices (with a couple songs) are covered under the tax.
Actually, they would most likely leave the site up and use it to find other sites that actually DO host illegal content. If the site had thumbnails, etc of the images available on the linked sites (even cross-linked images), I'm sure they could and would be taken down.
