Oh yeah not only is did I see porn on local tv in several countries in europe but in Japan they had vending machines with soiled undies and much worse.
The only part you missed was that porn is a big deal because its taboo among the protestants and christians. If they decided that mowing the lawn was taboo tommorow there children would be cutting peoples heads off with edgers next week.
For another thing, the general populace likes to believe that porn is wrong
This is a protestant/christian belief that the body and sex are an ugly thing. I don't think you'll find this is the popular belief in europe. The reason porn is such a big deal is because these morons make such a big deal about it. Yet its just nature when you watch two animals going at it at dinner time on the discovery channel.
I hope you have taken the time to explain what sex and porn is. Parental responsibility is completely the answer.
This doesn't mean hiding your children from reality it means educating them about it. Unfortunatley most parents are immature and probably don't get it.
If the email was private and contains nothing about the presidency then he was the same right to privacy as the rest of us. And he can actually enforce his right;).
I've been using encryption for many years and I don't think it will get any easier than PGP is now. The plugins for your email client are so simple to use even a president could use it.
In order for encryption to work you will always have to do a little work such as generating a key and thinking up a passphrase. Other than installing it there really isn't much else to it.
What needs to happen is some marketing guru needs to convert the technical terms like passphrase into something morons can understand. That way people wont be so intimidated to use it.

How is the free trial different?
Previously, you could receive a basic level of service free up to five systems. Starting February 26, you can try the full version of Software Manager for free, but only on one system.

So if you are a registered customer you can update your machine for free on one system instead of five.
Looks like slashdot didn't get the facts straight.
I think it has a lot more to do with controlling other people than it does "he with the most stuff wins".
I think this game is more about feeling in control. In every relationship one person is leading more and the other is following. Although this is a generalization and there are plenty of execeptions.
The people that really enjoy this game are the followers getting their turn at leading. This is why the game boars me to death because I'm a natrul leader;P.
Thus, Hiura suggests that they may serve as excellent quibits, which store single bits of information in quantum computers. The spin state of the metal atom could encode the bit, and the silicon cage would protect it from corruption.
I believe the article is about using bucky balls to form cage like structures that house the atoms. That would be isolating them in very small structures wouldn't it?
Anybody notice all the new features built into Windows ME?
How about the SFP (Software Protection Feature)? This feature was added to ME and 2000 (as WFP) to keep virii from overwriting important files and infecting your computer. This is just an answer to the fact that Unix users don't log in as root (if they are smart) when reading mail and virii can't overwrite system files. If it weren't for GNU (Linux) I doubt this feature would have been added at all.
Seems to me Linux is forcing Microsoft to innovate. Without competition Microsoft can just keep creating crap that has to be rebooted every 10 minutes.
No I think its you thats in idiot! Rsh isn't a company that has to feed 180 people in there family and SSH is. If you had read my post maybe you would know what I said. Only a total fucking loser would respond to something he didn't read.
What's the diff between SSH, CSH, BASH, KSH etc...
Sorry but sh, csh, bash, and ksh are programs.
SSH is a client/server based application that has nothing to do with a shell interrepter.
The big difference here is something else though. SSH is a company (unlike the shells mentioned) that has 180 employees. If SSH loses money due to confusion and these people get laid off then to me something is wrong here. This business makes most its money off this one product. I don't feel sorry for big corporations losing money this way (I.E. Micro$not) but I feel we need to protect smaller businesses. Especially when that business only has one main product.
Before someone calls me a biggot let me say I don't believe in incorporating anything. I think all businesses should have a soul and a spirit if they are going to have control of peoples lives. People need to be held accountable for their actions.
Everyone who is against this site makes the same argument, "What if a child sees and does it?". This is just another case of America forgetting it's up to parents to raise their children. I just can't believe the FBI is acting this insane.
Its amazing how many of you don't understand that Linux is a kernel and the rest is GNU. GNU isn't meant to make money but for those of us who have used it for 10+ years we are greatful. Who cares about Linux companies and how much money they are making/losing. We'll always have Slackware and companies like Walnut Creek to make money off the CD's.

The best use I've heard of for this technology would be to launch satellites and such into space. I'm sure it would be much more efficent than liquid or solid fuel. Anyone else heard of this or have more info?

Obviously you've never been to europe and watched local television. Take a trip and then tell me that.
You hit the nail on the head.

If he uses a 2048bit key it will remain secure unless they perfect a quantum computer or someone gets REALLY REALLY lucky.
If the email was about the nation then yes.
;).
If the email was private and contains nothing about the presidency then he was the same right to privacy as the rest of us. And he can actually enforce his right

But the real question is:
Which came first the browser or the server?

I meant:
Will customers who have bought a boxed version be able to register and download without paying another 9$?
This story leaves me wondering:
Is this for customers who haven't bought a boxed version and registered it or just people who download redhat for free?
I looked on RedHat's website and I don't see anything about it.
I think it has a lot more to do with controlling other people than it does "he with the most stuff wins".
;P.

I've been going on Napster to see how the filter is working.
So far searches for "metallica" always come back with hits. I would think this would be the primary thing they be trying to block.
Searches for "godsmack" came up empty last night. I tried "god smack" and got plenty of hits spelled "godsmack" and "god smack".
Just thought I'd share the info if anyone cares.
I may not understand what holds the atoms together but I do know that gravity holds my dinner table in one place.;P

According to an ongoing poll on Slashdot 61% of readers think a day without ad banners is like a day without a rash!
Now why would you post this story knowing that?
