Maybe the criminals are changing and becoming more violent as the society becomes more individualist. INAP, but really perverse criminals, these that deserves death penalty, do not fear pain. Of course they want do live, but they can simply do not fell pain and can ignore it pretty well. So, the way you kill the person is not at all important. The rest is sadism.
That remembers me of an episode with my father when a I was 16. I had just finished Carmageddon 2 after two or three months playing it. Then, my father enters my room saying I would not play that game any more:D. The game took two months to be prohibited in my country.
It wasn't his fault, as he used to pay attention to what I was playing. IMO the problem is that some fathers tend to not trust in ratings AND, besides that, they do not understand this video-game thing very well.
The problem is the the lack of a standard that everybody agrees on. How to model the views of all the medical staff over this data? How to make them agree in even simpler things. Did you ever try to make Doctors agree on something?:)
Haha! This happens because every government reflects its people in one way or another. Like somebody said before in this post: there are lots of people who believe that internet censorship is a good thing. These people still does not see the internet as a tool for free-speech, but as a toy for teenagers.
IMO, from the government point of view, this is the right moment to impose a internet censorship: the generation that actually understands the internet does not have any political power yet. More and more they wait, more it will be difficult.
However it was also to deter the production of other material, including cartoons, that could "fuel demand for material that does involve the abuse of children".
This is the same question you can find in discussion about violence in games: will it fuel a natural tendency or will it serve as an escape valve?
Knowing if breasts are natural or not is not a big problem anymore. Nowadays, with all this advanced technology in surgery, it is becoming difficult to know if the WHOLE woman is fake or not.
I have used regex in the past, mainly for keeping long SQL scripts. The problem is the lack of full support for regex in most of editors. IMO the best (for windows, at least) is the EditPad Pro.
imagine with a $200 million dollar NSA data mining cluster can do.
Yes, you could be right. But the fact is that pattern matching algorithms do not work well indeed in generic domains. We are far from this. Maybe you can get some advantage of that huge amount of data, as google use to do. But even in this case, I do not think that the government agencies can have so much advantage over all the scientific world (the world that produces papers and are peer reviewed...:) ).
Facial recognition software, voice pattern recognition software, intelligent pattern finding software... the list of automated analysis technology developments goes on.
Now, show me only one of these tools that actually works...:)

Hence, even if WordPress only offers 70% of the features of Joomla!, which I am pretty sure it does, their code is written much more efficiently.
Since when less lines of code is synonym of better software?!?!?!
... how many other unknown things are hiding in those old images.
Maybe they developed irrigation in an early scientific effort to grow soldiers.
In fact, this will no be so different from some efforts done today by DARPA and others.
... I am going to name my children after database unique id codes. "AK23F2 Smith! Go now make your homework!"

Games should be rated like movies are. Then it is up to the parents to take care of what their children watch or play.
True! Haha! Sometimes I have the impression that some geeks want to do the same thing to their first girl.
we can transform The Darwin Awards in The Darwin Olympics.

... why people NEED to have an iPhone. There are alternatives in the market.
Please, somebody tell me why anyone should buy an iPhone.
that would wipe out half to 2/3 of the continental US
You Americans... always thinking that "half to 2/3" of the USA is the same thing as the whole world... :D

"But it works in this simulation software that I have just coded! How this cannot count as an 'working device'?!"
You, for instance:

Supposing you are American, of course.
*OK. This is not totally accurate...

I am color blind. And I can tell you that I HATE web designer! Why do they need to use, for example, light green for the links on white background?!
Ok Ok. Some designer think of it. But only in major websites...

It looks like a VERY old nipple, I should say.

The funny part is that I can easily imagine many people around the world having the same sort of conversation:
"Argh! They eat that McDonnalds thing!"
"Blergh! I don't believe it!"
And assuming you can read the numbers properly...
