What if I declare that I have no porn in my laptop, and then they find pictures of my kids taking a bath, and they happen to be (gasp!) naked? Simple nudity of minors is regarded as child porn if I'm not mistaken, (several parents had trouble with this in the past, when going to a photo-processing stores).
1.sharp knees
A judgment leveled against an otherwise perfectly proportioned, if not slightly trim, and pleasant looking woman. Generally uttered by a male who is way below her class. Yeah sure she is really nice looking, but I wouldn't hit that. I mean look at those sharp knees!
2.sharp knees
When a woman, specifically a celebrity or actress, is so thin (as to imply she is anorexic) that her knees appear sharp or pointy. Calista Flockhart has sharp knees.
It's not about the things we put on facebook anymore, and it's not about the things our friends put there anymore either. Now facebook collects data about any site I may visit, see this article describing the problem, a "bug" facebook "fixed" already, (my guess is they just hid it from the users). This happened to me the other day.
I don't like a centralized place where my browsing info is stored, and where all my family and contacts can be related to that info. I'm not interested in anyone knowing that me, with parents named such and such, that attended school such and such, etc, just browsed a hentai porn site.
What framework allows you to do this? A common misconception is "the programmers that are in charge of the GUI just move some buttons and controls around in a WYSIWYG tool". I assure you that GUI coding is one of the harder tasks, requiring a very complete understanding of all the existing underlying code, and creation of new underlying code.
So, chat with random strangers using webcams? I was doing this using netmeeting around year 2000 or before, if I remember correctly. Also, joining any irc server and then adding random strangers to a throwaway msn messenger account allowed the exact same. Isn't this doable since webcams were invented? What is the novelty here? The simple interface?
I wonder if they've realized this is @#$%@# insulting. How the hell are women with smaller breasts supposed to take this? "Get a boob job, or you'll be stimulating pedophiles!"
This is really interesting. Women (and note I say women, not children) under 18 years old (or other arbitrary number) are already suffering when men are afraid to date them because they are not legal. I wonder if small breasted women will now be avoided by fearful men, even when they are older?
The list of people I write emails to is private. Making this list public without my consent is violating my privacy.
Example: suppose I post something on buzz. I have John, HR headhunter, following me. I also have Larry, a friend that posts an inappropiate comment on my buzz post. I did not explicitly allow John to be able to read Larry, unlike facebook or twitter where I have to add them both first. They just were able to read each other, and aknowledge that they both are in my "people I write emails to" list.
With enough time and motivation, I certainly could read your facebook status. I could try and compromise the computer of some friend of yours, or your computer, or impersonate someone you know so you add me, or discover some vulnerability in facebook, or try and convince you to add some facebook app that serves this purpose.
Or, you know, facebook could change its policy tomorrow saying that from now on all your statuses are viewable by the world.
I completely agree with this. As a female programmer, I'm already excluded from the "after conference" when male programmers head to stripper clubs. I don't want to go to those strip clubs because I would feel awkward, and because my male colleagues would not want me there, my presence would make them uncomfortable.
Now I will start to get excluded from conferences too because the strippers are *at* the conference? I cannot accept that. If males in the IT field are so desperate for sex, they should have a little more dignity and not force us into the situation. Let's keep the work environment a work environment, why try to bring strippers into it? Ridiculous.
To all slashdot (male) commenters, I suggest they do a little experiment. Create a new (female) online identity, clearly female by the mail address and displayed name. Then start contributing to a project, or start discussing in a forum. Try to see the differences in how are you treated.
I suspect there are lots of women using male nicknames or neutral emails for this reason.
You say you would like to see female engineers and scientists, (as if there were none?). Why? It shouldn't matter to you if there is female, male, queer or transgendered engineers and scientists.
That wasn't the user, her account was compromised by btards after they hacked a christian dating site. See this or do a google search for "4chan hacked facebook".
No, men do not go around wailing. I think that they try and take their revenge against women. Historically and biologically, men always were the ones without value.
A war starts? men are sent to fight and die.
Men are the ones who have to fight each other to get the best woman, a woman just picks the best.
A catastrophe strikes? "women and children first".
Men don't have the valuable biological asset: the vagina, a woman always has something of value: the pleasure she can provide to a man. A man can have absolutely nothing to offer, a woman at least has always her body to offer. Men have penises that are ugly, AND they are afraid to lose them. There is no constant demand for penises, but there is constant demand for vaginas.
Men pay women so they can touch them.
Men paint, fotograph and film nude women so they can look at them and dream about touching them.
Men make life-sized dolls imitating a woman's body, so they can touch it.
Yes, all this is unfair to man. All this is demeaning to men. All this paints men in a pathethic light. But they can do nothing, it's the way biology works. So they demean women everytime they can. They become mysoginistic and frustrated. They start to hate women. They make laws and rules that women cannot break: a woman has to be pure, virgin, marry and stay at home. A woman must not have a voice. All this to try and control women, to bring them down from their priviledged position. They tried to get even with women during all human history.
Exactly, I have encontered myself many times wanting to buy, only to see that it's impossible: it's impossible to connect a paypal account with an argentinean debit card, for example. At least, last time I tried it was. Not so long ago, it was impossible to buy from amazon or ebay without a credit card. I haven't checked since.
In argentina, is not that common for people to use credit cards. We use cash, and from the last ten years we started using debit cards. I don't like credit cards, I don't want to have one.
Another problem we face is corrupt customs/mail people that steal our shipments. I ordered some cds that never arrived: ordering things is a roulette, you are never sure if the product is going to arrive or be stolen along the way.
But what I can't understand is how there isn't something like an "internet buying card" where I can specify some money limit and use that to buy things instead of compromising the security of my entire bank account and identity every time I want to buy something.
For example, I imagine it being something like this: I buy a $300 card, with cash, in a store. I use that card to buy things off the internet. Even if the card number is stolen, my identity is safe, and the max amount of cash that can be stolen is $300. One could choose the exact amount of cash the card contains, and after it's spent a new card must be bought. Why is it that something like this doesn't exist? I think the amount of people spending money on something like this would be HUGE.
"It's not really that much different to how it used to be in Europe, it's just that we had about 150 years to further develop ourselves. Sucks for current-generation Chinese, but their grandchildren can bask in luxury we won't be seeing in that age."
Bullshit. Europe and USA are "basking in luxury" thanks to the third-world countries they control, that are providing them with raw materials and cheap hand-labor.
I have a X60 Tablet, Ubuntu 8.04 by default takes 16 Watts idle, while on Windows XP Tablet 2005, it spends 8 Watts. Is really that bad.
Ubuntu 8.10 is a little better at 12 Watts idle, but still...Linux sadly don't support all the power-saving states of the Intel Low-Voltage processors.

This, in all honesty, is the worst survey I have ever seen, and I work with language teachers.
I'm so glad the person who did this survey is male... otherwise, my entire gender would be flamed for the poor job.

The danger is not in the bite, is in the germs it carries. Mouses are dirty animals. They eat our stored food too.

You are an idiot.
Have you ever heard of contraceptives? They are little thingamagiks that allow anyone to have sex, without having children! isn't it amazing?
By the way, paris hilton has more money than what you will dream of having in your entire life, so why is it again she should not have sex?
If that was what you liked, by all means, do it, be happy. :)

well it was not his fault, it was because of the fire =P
Paradoxically, this vulnerability was found in Foxit first :)
