Better yet was what a friend brought to a water fight and I have been unable to find anywhere despite looking. It was effectively one of those things attatched to about a 6 litre backpack. It could fill a waterbomb in one shot, outranged all our supersoakers and carried more ammo. In addition to this the person carrying the thing shot for his country at under 18 level. The rest of us got very wet. --
The whole point being that they can sue anyone who dares to try implimenting such policies. Lets get rid of selections of the month and popups at a single stroke! --
Tou want moderated stories, I would recomend visiting kuro5hin. The procedure for stories is slightly different- you submit a story to the submissions queue, and if 5% of the users vote for the story, it gets put on the front page.
The other benifit of the site is that Rusty will delete the trolls, making things much easier to read. Its liabilities are that voting on the submissions are not good for news stories, it has a much smaller readership (1500 or so ids at last count), and Rusty is still fixing some of the old bugs. Anyway, swings and roundabouts, you don't like/., no one forces you to read it. --

The current British police caution states (as closely as can remember)
"Anything you say may be taken down and used as evidence,
and if it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned, evidence you later later rely on in court"
As you can see, we barely have the right to silence in this country. --
Sorry, forgot to add that for all there problems, borrowing the marketing department of M$ should soon support that problem out.

I have not seen one broadcast outside the internet that comes close to supporting the CSSDVD- which most of us agree is a good thing. I believe that better publicity for us is necessary on this as on many other topics or public opinion will be so strongly against us that we do not have a chance of winning this battle (yes, I believe opinion does affect the law- and we NEED that lever to not be almost exclusively in the other direction.
One problem is that by its very nature, the open source community is not too keen on style over substance- butwe need some style.

This is more than mildly worrying- I have no objections iff censorware is applied by parents to their own computer- I see that comes under free choice- but if it is enforced as a knee jerk reaction, it can only increase the need for such sites as peacefire www.peacefire.org.

I do not believe that we have ever fully trusted the media since Orson Welles great broadcast of War of the Worlds! I do not trust the media to tell the complete truth and I do not think many other people do either- what one must do to get an unbiassed opinion is consult multiple sources!
All that said, I believe that this technology is a blow against the right to know and "journalistic impartiality" as it can be so easily abused. I believe that the technology should be banned for any "news" broadcast- although fitting something to your tv of which you have control- and not the "impartial" broadcaster might be useful to remove all the junk adverts.

When does open source cease to be open- I do nt, and have never believed that most corporate interests are served by free software- rather than by charging (of course for consumers it is a different matter). I believe that we should look carefully about all these recent funding sources and see what is in it for the providers.

Agreed- as one of the bullied who has been known to turn, and having known a few more, the bright and bullied who have been pushed too far are far more dangerous. I, however, never took out my temper out on the weak- and neither did my friends- the bullies make far better targets for relieving stress and no one ever complained (one one occasion the confessed instincts of one of my teachers on walking in were either that she wanted to cheer or to leave the room and let events take their natrual course). Another method I used for dealing with my temper and anger and one that many could benifit from is takeing martial arts lessons. My beliefs on dealing with bullies are to let the punishment fit the crime- bring back corporal punishment, or better yet use ritual humilliation.

With today's technology, this VR simulator is going to be big. The best solution I can think of is to have the user walking on a section of a very large trackball- the problem with this being the curvature- but the advantages being that the user can walk/sidestep in any direction (but long jumps might be problematic. An array of small trackballs as part of the floor would minimise size- but not be half as ueseful as a treadmill. --If you have nothing to say, say nothing......I'll just shut up shall I?--
The suit would take some getting used to. Also "force feedback" has many current limitations. The rigidity you mentioned is also a problem. --If you have nothing to say, say nothing......I'll just shut up shall I?--
This, by my reconing is one of many "odd days" this year (five of the last ten alone). Our first even day may be memorable- Feb 2 2000 as it is our first- but this topic is best left for the astrologers! --If you have nothing to say, say nothing... ...I'll just shut up now shall I?-- P.S. First Post! (I think)
Come on, guys- look at the acronym- if this is not evidence of a joke, I don't know what is. The Extreme Use of Nearly Universal Cooling Hardware(?) is what EUNUCH stands for- did they miss out an E?

x=5
-> 2x+15=3x+10
-> x^2-2x-15=x^2-3x-10
->(x-5)(x+3)=(x-5)(x+2)
-> x+3=x+2
-> 3=2
-> 1=0
This works for any specific value of x, and is easily extensible into the general case.
(Spot the mistake in the proof...)

3: handcuffs/ blindfold/ brain padlock (the first two should probably be avoided
Alternatively, place these as a subsection of humor (albeit fairly morbid humor) or under justice (?)
I believe that the correct term is Vortal (vertical portal) and it is not a portal.
