    I have two problems with your post.

    1) X has be superceded by NC-17 in the United States.

    2) The MPAA movie rating system is a *VOLUNTARY* rating system that most movies are given as many theatres will not run "unrated" films. This is very different from a government (or even a quasi-governing body like ICANN) administering a .XXX designation.

    I'll leave the "slippery slope" arguments to others and stick to the nit-picking for now.

    Japan's nationalist superstitions were no match for American science.

    "Amnerica's nationalistic aspirations" might make more sense here as a desire to prevent the Communists from getting a toehold in Japan - and Asia as a whole (THAT worked well!) - was a certainly a contributing factor to use the bomb.

    I used one in Jackson Hole Wyoming to do radio telemetry on coyotes. We had this little program where we'd type the GPS coordinates of our two observing trucks in. Then we'd put in pairs of angle measurements from each in and it would spit out the target's location. If remember right, it used Universal Traverse Mercador coordinares, which divide regions into "flat" meter grids. We chould then look at the USGS map and see right where the animal was.

    Great little computer for applications like this.

    Yes! I like them even though Damon's voice wears a bit on me. Interestingly, he got the idea for the band from Holger Czukay (Shoo-kay), member of seminal 70s Krautrockers, Can. I highly reccomend you check them out. They started off as a weirdo hippie freak-out stuff and were setting the stage for electronic dance music by the end. They incorporated tons of new ideas, using sampling, multitracked tape experiments, analogs synths, etc.

    Australian radio, in contrast to US radio, is vibrant, brilliant and is a good industrial subsidy for the Australian music industry (ever wonder where INXS, Midnight Oil and many others got their start?).

    Not to be too rude, but those aren't great examples. Could you pick something from this decade? Or ever the one before it?
