Perhaps, because 80% is better than what it is now, they think.
Part of the problem may be that the parents themselves are afraid of the 'net, still. If the parents can't handle the unrequested porn ads, they're going to have a hard time monitoring the kids.
Considering what I've had to go through to be able to monitor myself, I can't say that I blame the parents who don't want to have to harden themselves against it. It's not that the body is dirty or scary, it's that it can be so interesting that it gets in the way of doing necessary things like working and talking to people. You know, relating to the people who are physically near you.
Oh, and I guess there is also that wish for sex to remain a "special" thing.
I don't like the idea of systemizing this sort of thing.
The best solution is multiple (competing) whitelists. That way, we don't have a doll manufacturing bribing "the ratings organization" to let their edgy ads into the stream.
The kids will still be exposed to edgy stuff, but when bribes flow things go sour quickly.
There is no proper secure (in other words, without aliased glyphs) subset of Unicode.
Well, there was a time that the domain name portion of urls was supposed to be limited to latin lower case plus numeric and dash, but that simply didn't sell, and the Chinese want to be able to filter (erk), I mean, they want to be able to use their ideographs in urls with pride.
Self-signing is the only sensible way to use certificates.
CAs should only be used in the same way that USians use notary publics. The certificate should be treated like a notary's seal. (And priced the same.)
But the CAs can't even behave like notaries until they get proper time stamping implemented.
The standard itself was never debugged, and every purveyor of snake oil fudges whatever part of the standard that gets in the way of their patent formula.
Sorry to be negative, but it gets kind of fatiguing, watching the other guy making all the money doing everything wrong. Yeah, that's part of believing in freedom, but it would help if the other believed in it enough to at least try to do it right.
The difference is (we would assume) that light is not poisonous.
If you didn't know that most of the addiction function is mental, and that the poison of choice is only useful in suppressing the conscious mind from questioning the mental addictive processes, you're not understanding the whole process.
(I'd mention something about something called repentance here, but I'm sure that would earn me a few -1 trolls.)
Once or twice meant something, but now it's an institution.

Except for advertising potential. You know, keeping your product name in the headlines.
The respective companies should offer a running bounty on exploits on their browsers. Yeah, that would spoil all the pageantry of Pwn20wn, but do we really need another pageant?
The differences between creation privileges and evolution privileges might be significant. At least, you do want to examine the issues of context relative to the evolution of the resources your site maintains.
You ever get stuck behind a huge RV with a drunk driver on a narrow road?
What Microsoft should do is really simple: Get their huge, unsafe-at-any-speed public nuisance out of the market and off the 'net and let people willing to do it right get past.
A guy who blogs as joudanzuki described one ideal solution -- split Microsoft into several different companies, one that maintains their current offerings as actively patched legacy software, another that focuses on re-implementing the current stuff on a stable foundation, again as a way to support legacy software.
I'd say it this way -- Microsoft should re-release XP as Wine on a BSD system. (Linux would be impossible because of all the cross-licensing junk they've done now.)
And quit depending, in the System itself, on the band-aid that is UAC.
Uhm, would that have anything to do with the reason that the computers used for record keeping at the schools where I work are on completely separate networks from the ones the students use, and from the ones the teachers use to make teaching materials?
(And that is with a company hired to administer the networks. On MSWindows, of course.)
I think, less than the not understanding the country, is the country not understanding.
Can you get a PC pre-loaded with a Linux OS in Japan? No.
Can you get a phone pre-loaded with a Linux OS in Japan? Yes, but, until recently, the GPL was completely ignored. (And you couldn't get access to the shell, either.)
Do you want the text from your mail on your P90x? Here's what you do.
You save it to your SD via the extension menus in the phone. Then you mount the SD on your PC and go hunting through directories with numeric names and files with numeric names until you find a few files that look the right size and have the right date. Scan through those files with hexdump -C and eventually you start seeing mail text instead of tags in some tagging format that you don't have docs for.
Then you have to decide how much you want the text in its original form, because you're going to have to write a filter to get it out.
I've thought about watching the NHK language programs during my commute, but my commute takes me from one area to another, so I'd have to reset the receiving area. (Lock-in strategy like the area codes on DVDs, I guess.)
Besides, the train companies keep telling us how impolite it is to use phones on the trains, and how using the phone in the lead or tail car might mess up their controls systems somehow, so we should completely shut the phone off (and log back in later) on the front and back cars.
wansegu (one-segment) is a bust. Serious silliness.
Well, some people consider the lack of a delete-left function a bug.
So to speak.
I hate my P903itv for a variety of reasons. I'll easily lose ten minutes of painstaking typing if my concentration wanders, and I'm unwilling to pattern the thumb-torture people call one-handed-texting into my brain, so, for me, the interface itself will remain a bug, not a feature.
I've thought about the P905i for the linux, but only if it gives me a shell, and only if there is either some way to hook up a keyboard or some way to use it tethered so I can send e-mail from my notebook through it.
(No way to get a shell on the p903, as far as I know.)
I really don't plan on buying another Japanese phone.
I got my first cell last year (an old model p903itv that was cheap) and I hate the keypad. Too much of the interface guessing too much and too much of the interface erasing back too far when you tell it it guessed too much.
But the Japanese are used to having the input device buffered by an input method. They just don't _get_ that the guessing ahead limits what they are typing.
When you point your duplicating device at my car, my briefcase is on the passenger seat. So, now you have my customer list, or my flowcharts, or my business plan, or the manuscript for my novel.
In fact, I'm in the driver seat, and my wallet is in my pocket, so now you have my driver's license and credit cards. Well, that is, if you can get the clone of me to give them to you, I guess.
And, then, there's all those duplicates of me running about.
I wonder what my wife would say to having all those duplicates of me wandering around loose?
(heh)
I think we need a new understanding of just what the word property means.
In West Texas and Japan. There was a distribution channel. Plenty of distribution channel.
It did not flow.
There are any number of reasons it did not flow, but access to the channel was not one of them. Lots of people going in and out of those gas stations, lots of people walking through the village markets. The stands were quite visible.
Maybe a bad analogy would help.
My wife likes to tell about a visit she made south of the Mexico/California border. Street vendors, many of them very young children. They sold commercial products, mostly candy bars and the like, and they sold things they made.
Care to guess which she bought? Care to guess which the people who were with her bought?
Sure, the candy bar that looked like it had been unwrapped several times didn't look very appetizing. That's part of the point -- an unclean feeling to the transaction.
People who have the money to spare _want_ to support the authors/artists/performers whose works they appreciate. That is a fact in any society that is even marginally healthy.
I wonder, here, if part of the reason the media giants can't see the principle here is not the very fact of the number of artists, authors, and performers they have screwed over. They probably don't respond any more the way people with healthy consciences respond, so they can't understand why ordinary people would respond that way.
Who was it said that the more money you have the less you tend to understand the meaning of money?
Yeah, honesty is what it's all about.
If society is so bad that you cannot depend on enough people doing the right thing, well, if society goes that far south, DRM isn't going to help, either.

It's the monoculture thing.
is great, as long as the ip doesn't change.
But you really shouldn't have to depend on even the ip.

the mods were reversed, too.
The moderators expected all the slashdot crowd to understand what was going on, right?
But there will usually be one or two students in each class interested enough in learning the how and why, and that's all it takes.
Anyway, the lathes would be a problem.
Software doesn't have to be.

Sometimes a thing needs to be said more than once or twice.
In this case, maybe it needs to be said several thousand times.
And that's a problem, and the reason this really isn't all that exciting.
Isn't that a database query?
