No part of this bill will make parents so responsible that they know what their kids are doing. Believe it or not, no law could ever do this, and it's insane to expect the government to even consider such a thing.
Regardless, kids should not need permission to purchase or play these games. Kids should be raised to understand the difference between right and wrong and how to determine that themselves. With those two very basic things, they'll be able to handle any violent games/movies/music that comes along the way without damage.
Don't forget to encrypt the message or an attachment with the password "redchina". That'll be easy enough for any brute-force cracker to get, and it'll make it look more "real".:)
There's such a great misunderstanding about the first amendment here (and all over/. really). Nike is not violating the first amendment by denying this man a certain message on his shoes. The first amendment does not say "every corporation must print whatever it is any random person wants."
/. should start including links to the relevent portions of the constitutional text whenever it posts one of these stories. Sheesh.
Sure, it's easy once the card is created - but how do you get the data to create the card? How do you ensure that it is valid? Is this something we'd have to subject our kids to upon birth so we know they are who they are? (then again, what do you do about births outside of official facilities)
If all the standards are different, it might not be worth the time to look in to it at all. It doesn't matter what is at fault, it's all about practicality.
I can't imagine why an ISP would NOT want to host porn. That's easy money. The amount of work/$ of revenue is WAY lower than for non-porn hosting - at least 10 to 1.
Yeah, I agree with you here. Most people are upset at the very thought of any sort of nuclear research and any celebration of it.
For me, I think it's pretty silly of Nevada to include a mushroom cloud on the plate, but I guess if that's what they want to be associated with, that's their choice.:)
And then they buy bills so they can legally control how the "consumers"/tax payers they just indirectly screwed view their crappy media that nobody wanted.
"Face it, the money has to come out of SOMEWHERE, and the taxes were put in place by YOUR elected representatives."
No they weren't - many of us are too young to have been able to vote these people in or out. Hell plenty of us weren't even alive.
But yes, of course, the money has to come from somewhere. What I'd like to see is some sort of "Taxpayer's Receipt". Something that tells me approximately where my money has gone. It could be as simple as "x% of your taxes and of those in your region went to pay for this new bridge". Show me the value. I remember seeing construction signs in California telling people what taxes are funding the project - that's a step in the right direction.
It's not so trivial really - the HTTP referrers sent by browsers are completely unreliable. The only way to do it is either a) with cookies or b) by prepending a one-time cookie-like code to the front of every linked URI when you generate the HTML for a page (so you can guarantee that so-and-so user came from this page and no other).
Both methods are still easily bypassed, but not easily enough for Random Joe Web User, so you won't see them on most sites.
I hear ya - plus, I wish I was able to have better sleep. Unfortunately pager duty means I have to get woken up at all hours several times a night in some cases.
And no, I'm not find another job - there aren't many out there in my field (and region), and other careers wouldn't pay as well (entry level).
How about we just tack.prn on to the end of _all_ domain names? That way we don't have to worry about deciding what is porn and what isn't. Then, when people who are either overly sensitive or "children" try to access the Internet, their filters will block them leaving the Internet to those of us who are smart enough to decide for ourselves what we should and shouldn't see.

Sure it can. Please see man procmailrc or procmailex. Check out the 'B' flag.

"Music sellers should devote their limited resources to online marketing and distribution"
Hahaha. Limited. I sure hope they we're being facetious.

I dunno, at least you can be sure that Arthur Anderson won't be leaving your passwords around on paper.
Heck, just make it $50. That'd be small enough not to get it thrown out of court immediately as unreasonable. Then EULAs can really be tested.
If the 1040 instructions come with one, then it isn't what I mean. I'm talking about what *my* money went towards.

A beowulf cluster of Dreamworks rendering farms!
/. go back and forth.
how's that. Old or not, it's still pretty amusing watching
We're pro-MPAA today? I thought that was Tuesdays.
Data recovery is one of the most expensive search results on Overture that I've seen.
"You wonder why your company's stock is in the toilet"

That's it, I quit! Oh look, the stock is up 75 points!
Yeah!
"Gnome and KDE would be fully compatible with packages completed for everything from Debian to Red Hat to *BSD"
I wonder how much of Gnome/KDE and other such packages were written at the workplace during breaks.
I'm just waiting for Tom's Hardware to write up an article on how to overclock this to get an additional 1,000,000 fps in Quake III.

Such speed offers white-knuckle fliers new possibilities: for example, it took no time at all to download a 238-kilobyte aviation safety manual.
I would hope they'd have such a manual on the aircraft already.
What they'd do with a Beowulf cluster!
