And it's not like it's far-fetched to think that the people purchasing child porn might use stolen or misappropriated credit cards to do so... Hell, it's probably a safe assumption that if the card isn't stolen, whoever signed up didn't realize they weren't signing up for 18 year olds in pigtails.
Gore's statements about Iraq in the wake of 9/11. The money shot: "As far as I am concerned, a final reckoning with that government should be on the table". I'm inclined to think the initial invasion of Iraq was a bad idea, although I refused to take a position on the matter at the time. And I'm inclined to think no one other than a Bush (W. -- his father was a lot better) administration would have tried to skimp so badly on the initial number of troops.
What I'm sure of, though, is that no one else would be so colossally stupid as to fire the entire bureaucracy and even army of the country as soon as the invasion was done. We could have been mostly finished with this by early 2004 had we only done what basically every successful invasion has ever done, control the occupied country through the existing infrastructure. But instead, we had to make a show of punishing Saddam's people.
The only thing I have seen that works is to be a jealous spouse and really check up on them. My friends who do this have vaguely unhappy but surviving marriages while those who do not have either suffered through affairs or ended up with divorces after 8-10 years. I'm not saying this could work for you, but open marriages (whether swinging or polyamory) can work for that, too. You really want that to be from the beginning, though, not as a reaction to someone cheating.
According to some research, people tend to prefer their own race's looks Alternately, people like people who specifically look like people they grew up around (who are usually related, so look like them). I'm not sure if it's original to him, but I've been reading Jared Diamond's The Third Chimpanzee, and he suggested that was actually *why* there are ethnic differences in appearance. This was a full chapter or two of the book, but his examples were interesting.
Now, I think this may actually be kinda backwards. I think it's not so much that people are attracted to people who look like them, but that we tend to think people who don't look like us aren't going to be interested in us. For instance, I would have no problem dating a black woman, but it almost never occurs to me that one might be interested unless she's specifically said she usually dates white men.
I have seen a total of one Indian guy I found hot and one I found attractive. I have dealt with a lot of Indians. I think Indian men don't usually fit American tastes well. Indian women, on the other hand, come off as exotic (and it doesn't hurt that they're usually in better shape than Americans -- I think it may have something to do with yoga, because the only exceptions I've known have been Catholic).
I think the states had a mini revival in recent years? Around 1997, although I hear people complain it wasn't real ska. Swing music got popular again at the same time, and I was never sure which was the real trend and which was the kinda similar genre getting pulled along.
I miss it, anyway. That only lasted maybe two years.
this kids parents have to pay $3000/yr First, $3000 is really cheap for a private school. It's probably sharing a building and some staff with a Baptist church. We pay $9000 for my son, and the secular private schools in that price range around here (Detroit) all stop in eighth grade. After that, we either need to move somewhere with a decent school district or expect to pay $16000.
Second, his mom's the librarian, so they probably aren't paying anything else.
Kind of like asking your kids what the family should have for dinner. We do that all the time, because my wife and I would spend two hours on "I don't know, what do you want?".
Now that anybody can make a strobe with an array of cheap LED's the photosensitivity issue is being ignored. This is a problem because it goes beyond people with recognised seizure problems. We should not be feeding pulse trains into our eyes which mimic signals which always run inside our brains. Any idea if they test police lights for this on the new cars where they just flash LEDs instead of spinning a light around? I always worry they're going to give someone a seizure when I see some of the more extreme versions.
As another poster already wrote, JB != CP. As far as ethics and taste go, no, they aren't the same. I don't think there's any legal distinction, though.
When I started my programming career (1997), my employer had 3-4 servers, the newest of which had a RAID array of Micropolis drives totaling a staggering 18GB for the volume. The older servers had 6GB and 9GB volumes. While we did have to take a bit more care then than now to conserve space, that was enough for an awful lot of tasks.
If I'm reading the specs right, you can now get parts for a PC with 12GB of RAM (mixing DDR2 and DDR3) from NewEgg for something on the order of $1000. While I wouldn't suggest making a file server that just works in RAM (what if you lose power?), what about databases? Modern database servers write to the transaction log (on disk) before they do anything else so that their caching logic can write the changes themselves to disk whenever it's convenient. Why not try a database where the tables themselves aren't on disk at all? Put BLOB fields into actual files, and keep the transaction log on disk (RAID 1), but otherwise the database only exists in RAM. If you need to restart, you just process all the transactions that happened since the last complete backup.
Now, this wouldn't be big enough for everything, but it would be big enough for an awful lot of jobs (stop and think for a minute about just how much information 12GB really is), and it would allow quite good performance on some pretty cheap hardware. And who knows? When you start wanting to support more than will fit in RAM, maybe virtual memory will turn out to be a better model than disk caching.
Chicago, new york, and the Bay area are probably the ONLY places in the country where that actually applies. Also definitely Washington D.C., and maybe Boston.
I took a sharp serrated steak knife to it and tried to scratch it but no matter how hard I pressed... Wow, that sounds like a good way to lose a finger.

Problem is, this will drive the numbers up for Sony to pimp dev houses into releasing more PS3 titles, even though a significant number of PS3 buyers are only interested in its movie capabilities. It's the PS2 all over again! We bought a PS3 mainly to play movies, but since we had it anyway, I still got my son Rachet and Clank for Christmas.
I think that sort of thing happens fairly often. I wouldn't be surprised if the average household who bought a PS-3 for movies also buys 2-3 games over the lifetime.
When retailers start aggressively pricing media again, I'll go back to buying the format. So don't buy it. Netflix charges the same for Blu-Ray as basic DVD.
Profile 2.0 does FINALLY bring Blu-Ray to feature parity with HD-DVD How many people really want picture-in-picture, anyway?
Now, what would be cool would be if my PS3 could stream the commentary video over to my laptop through the LAN, sync'ed to the main picture it's displaying on my TV. Lots of people use their laptops on the couch.
At 400 bucks, why not just drop an extra 60 for a PS3? That list put someone I'd never heard of on top. If you look farther down, you'll see it's the same $400 at Best Buy as a stand-alone player. Circuit city is the same.
What looks terrible is my SD directivo. Mine did, too, but it looks a lot better now that I spent some time playing with the colors. Turning the backlight up and the brightness down helped a lot, but I think it makes it use more electricity.
I think I missed the joke... that's not anything funny encoded in ASCII, so...? Is it just about digg folks not getting computers?

there are these things called "Index"... It's usually at the end of the book Not in a novel. Don't you ever run into a character late in a book and then go flipping back madly to try to remember who they were?

Normally, I would expect an 18 year old in a plaid skirt with pigtails.
