What, for his "everyone knows" argument? I'd replace "romance" with "a structure and set of protocols that guarantee rewards and privileges". But then, I'm just an old cynic really.
I know plenty. As a group they employ a strategy of representing almost every position on almost every issue within gender politics depending on argument.
He made a categorical statement about the nature of men and women. I only had to find one substantial example of women who don't behave the way he claims they are compelled to by biology to disprove it.
Well, no wonder father's feel that they have to protect their daughters in matters of sex due to these differences that exist.
Hang on, how come the majority of the world's prostitutes are women? Isn't that just like "guys on enjoying just screwing someone and being done with it...with no emotional baggage afterwards."? And don't say drugs as there plenty well documented cases of high class prostitutes who are rich, educated and don't take any drugs. Besides, a lot of people like me are convinced that the link between prostitution and drug addiction is enormously exaggerated.
It's a daft idea called chastity that's being kept alive and well by feminists. It all starts with the old, "I think that sex is a bit different for woman. They like it to be more romantic." Acknowledge that men and women do it the same amount, for the same reasons and like it equally and these daft ideas about a woman's virtue will disappear.
If I said that I was opposed to communism, I wouldn't expect to be forced to provide proof that I had met and interviewed every communist. If I said that I was opposed to organised religion, I wouldn't be making the statement that I was opposed to every doctrine of every religion that has ever existed. Any philosophy of gender politics that views things from the perspective of a single gender is flawed, unreasonable and biased. I'm opposed to that.
No, feminism is the study of gender issues from a feminine perspective. That's why many of us who believe in male-female equality feel that feminism should have no part in law and social policy.
"First of all, many people produce creative works without turning a profit on it -- friends in a band, as an example -- so what is your point, exactly? That they should be turning a profit? That they should not be creating art if there is no money in it?"
That would be an interesting point to pose to some of the Slashdot users who create commercial software. Some people create software for free, why shouldn't everyone?
I just hope it's not DRMed to hell. This could be the breakthrough that some content publishers have been waiting for. What's to stop the makers of this device charging a subscription? If you can't afford the full package, I might decide "Hell, I never get to see boobs anyway so I might as well not bother unlocking 'human nudity' real world content. I'd be better off with the Nerd Package. That gives me 'computer displays', 'films', 'books' and 'games'. I could always get pay per view if I do get lucky."
Don't worry, nature has a way of balancing itself out and adapting to changes. You'll probably grow an extra cock, but you'll have extra fingers to hold it with.
"At what level should the NRC shut down the troubled plant?"
When the projected costs of liability for cancer exceed the projected profits? Oh sorry, you said "At what level should", I read that as "At what level will they". My mistake.
This is the problem. There are web subscription models that could work, but unfortunately, the companies involved want to set the prices as high as they think the market can bear. Due to much lower distribution costs, they could make a good profit with $0.01 per article, but they wont do it. It's a missed opportunity for many content providers, and they'll have to learn it the hard way.
Full screen applications had a title bar. You could actually drag that title bar up and down to reveal another screen. The clever part was that the overlapping screens could be running at a different colour depth and resolution. This meant that you could have the file manager running in a 4 colour mode, a 3D editor running in a 16 colour high res mode and a rendering preview running in a 12 bit low res colour mode. This gave you the best of all worlds in terms of speed/memory/and graphics quality. For example, on a PC of the time, you might have to run the whole thing in 16 colours for performance reasons.
It doesn't make much sense now as all applications tend to run in the highest resolution and colour depth that the monitor can display. Back in the Amiga days, if you'd had to do that, you'd end up running the file manager in the 12 bit colour mode, and end up with a somewhat unresponsive GUI.
The only possible benefit of the Amiga "screens" approach now would be that it was an OK way of managing full-screen applications. A lot of media creation applications work quite well like that.
Like a lot of machines that competed with Windows, it was great, but many of the old advantages (like being able to format a floppy disk without it seemly disturbing foreground operation) don't make much sense any more.
As soon as I first saw Dolphin, I thought, "Why are they making it look exactly like Nautilus?". Ah well, they've even "fixed" Konqueror now so that it too looks just like Nautilus, a file manager that I never cared for personally.

Does this mean that 4chan will go through a phase with randomly distributed resize widgets spread about the screen? THEY'LL COVER THE BOOBIES!
"...or bathroom." You're probably better off doing some practice in low light environments. Handy if you need to urinate outdoors at night.

I wonder if "1990s Internet", was a deliberate artistic choice for the site?
"[...] but why are copies protected in this unique way ?" To provide an incentive for creators.

Anyone else reminded of This Island Earth? Perhaps it would be worth ordering some more parts from this supplier?
Or as a Python would put it:
"It's like like making love in a canoe. It's fucking close to water."

As an added benefit, the polarity of such a deflector could be reversed to solve all sorts of problems that might crop up.

It's common practice, yes. Unless you were a console manufacturer in the 80s.

If only you knew what the phrase "bender" meant in the UK...
Finally a suggestion that Novell can get behind!

I agree. What did they expect?
Having said that, it's about time that there was a standardised way for IP holders to grant a "fan art licence" for projects such as this.
