  1. Re:Regrowing Teeth on Regrowing Lost Body Parts Getting Closer All the Time · · Score: 1

    I wonder if a dental implant would damage where the tooth goes, preventing you from regrowing one.

  2. Re:Just Wait Until Your District Attorney Gets Hom on Teens Prosecuted For Racy Photos · · Score: 1

    They raised them, theyre responsible for their actions by your logic. Why should the responsibility end at 18? And if you think no good parent has had their teenager become a murdering drug dealer or anything else your sadly mistaken.

  3. Re:In Finland... on Teens Prosecuted For Racy Photos · · Score: 1

    From what I can remember about Finnish legislature we have a law that prohibits child porn, obviously, but also takes into account that teens can, will, and should express themselves sexually. Thus, inter-teen stuff of this nature is not illegal, as long as it stays private, of course.

    What about when you get older? Is it ok to keep naked pictures of your girlfriend from when you were both 15 when you are now 35?

    If a 15 year old starts skipping class class and shoplifting candy bars, that's not the parents' fault

    Why not? The parent raised the kid, is responsible for their actions.

    Skipping class and shoplifting candy bars is certainly no cause for charging the kid with a crime (absent some bigger picture of criminality, and even that is wrong when the acts are better corrected with psych or other counseling). Those petty "crimes" are exactly the kind of misbehavior that parents should correct, not the state. However, if parents do not correct them, if parents have produced a "bad kid" who damages someone else, then of course the parents contributed to the damage.

    Your idea of "using the legal system to scare the bejeezus out of the kid" is the wrong way to grow kids up. It's inappropriate use of the legal system, and damages the kid further.

     
    Man, your so right.We should hold parents accountable for their bad parenting. Lets start with Bin Ladens parents, Timothy MCveighs parents, David Koreshs parents, Burkowitzs parents, we could have this whole crime thing cleaned up by spring. Ollie Norths Parents, that astronauts parents, Bill Clintons parents (he committed perjury remember), I could go on forever. Maybe if you get a speeding ticket they could send one to your parents too. Hey your kid could never go bad right? What do you have to worry about?

    From the article: But if police follow a car around, or observe its route by means of cameras mounted on lampposts or of satellite imaging as in Google Earth, there is no search.

    It sure will. Especially after you've lost/ditched the old XP disk.

     
    You think thats irritating? When I have to recover first I install DOS, then upgrade to Windows 3.1, followed by 95, 98, 98SE, ME, then if ME doesnt crash in the process, 2000, and finally XP. It only takes 3 days and I save a ton.

  8. Re:He ASKED for this... on British Police Identify Killer in Radiation Case · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There was absolutely no need for the James Bond style assasination. Why not just shoot the bugger using a silencer? Advantages of using a gun: 1. Weapon doesn't decay. 2. Don't need to visit a nuclear reactor (which will have very restricted access on) to get one. 3. Doesn't leave a HUGE trail of everywhere you have been with it. 4. Less chance of target surving long enough to give full description of you. This assasination was far too elaborate...

    I think whoever did this is going for a kind of terrorism. They want to scare the hell out of their enemies. Like the guy who ran for president in Ukraine and was disfigured by a mysterious poison. Scary stuff.

  15. permanent on Are DMCA Abuses a Temporary or Permanent Problem? · · Score: 1

    This is going to be a permanent problem as long as this law is on the books. Here in the US we dont repeal bad laws. We keep passing more thinking it will work this time. Anyway with all the stupid laws we have on the books, just try not to piss anyone off, police, lawyers, the rich, and prosecutors especially, and you'll be ok.
