Met gevangenisstraf van ten hoogste vier jaren of geldboete van de vijfde categorie wordt gestraft degene die een afbeelding - of een gegevensdrager, bevattende een afbeelding - van een seksuele gedraging, waarbij iemand die kennelijk de leeftijd van achttien jaar nog niet heeft bereikt, is betrokken of schijnbaar is betrokken, verspreidt, openlijk tentoonstelt, vervaardigt, invoert, doorvoert, uitvoert of in bezit heeft.
'All persons depicted in Club Seventeen were over the age of 18 years at the time they were photographed or filmed.'
If you'd have scrolled down on that website you point to, you'd know that your example does not support your argument. There are many sites whose names suggest their girls are 18, but that is rarely the case. Also, I'm reasonably sure one has to be 18 in Dutchyland if one wants to make some porn there.
I don't think you 'get it'. The children of today are the workers of tomorrow. 'At least I didn't pay a lot of tax for schools in my life' won't cheer you up as much as you might imagine when in 30-50 years you're old and frail with nobody to take care of you.
Not that I support the whole extermination thing, but if you want to go that way at least think it through.
Why bother? Since the exact length of the whitespace between two words contains no useful information for the reader at all, one could simply set all the whitespace to some standard value, e.g. space = x mm, tab = y mm, newline = z mm, and so forth.
> Right now, food and energy production around the world outstrips demand. Thus, population continues to increase.
That is not true. The places on the world where energy and food are most abundant, such as the western countries, have populations that are no longer growing at a significant rate. If not for immigration, some of them would even be shrinking.
While it is obvious that the availability of food and energy influences population growth (without food to feed your children the population isn't going to grow any time soon) it is not possible to explain population growth with these things alone. Many other factors are at work here, such as religion ("Every sperm is sacred"). I hear having pensions can also have a big influence on population growth, because people won't need their 10 children to take care of them when they retire.
> The 3 major governors of biological systems seem to be raw materials, energy and space. To some degree, they're convertible. If you remove "energy" as a limiting factor, we're just going to hit a wall with one of the other two at some point.
Maybe for most animals, but I like to think humans are able to choose and ignore their instincts to have "OVER 9000!!!1!!11!!eleven" children and use some form of anticonception. Should this be incorrect we'll just have to invent some kind of ray-gun that turns people into slashdotters. This should bring down birth rates a lot and has the added benefit of giving me a relatively low UID...
Actually, in DnD Cha != Looks. Unless you think the average Mummy (Monster Manual, Cha 15) or Gibbering Mouther (Monster Manual, Cha 13) is more attractive than the average human/elf/gnome/halfling/half-elf/whatever (Cha 10). A Nalfeshnee (Monster Manual, Cha 20, http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/MM35_gallery/MM35_PG45.jpg it's the big monster in the background) would be prettier than even the prettiest (3d6 = Cha 18) humans!
Besides, elves don't even have a bonus to charisma so they are no more likely to be attractive to the girl in your post than a kobold (who also has +0 Cha).
Charisma may make you more attractive but it doesn't make you pretty. DnD doesn't have an ability score to indicate physical beauty unless you use one of those third party books that all players will deny having read.
> At this point I would revert the logic: this IS a DOS attack, unless proven otherwise.
Well that's easy. If it was not his intention to bring down the servers (and it appears that is the case, he was merely trying to obtain the documents) then it was NOT a DOS attack. Much like if I accidentally bump into you that is not an attack (even if you fall and break your neck).
Obviously the server wasn't DOS'ed because it took them 18 days to find out something was going on.
Indeed. Someone once described the default 'black on white' thing a staring into a lightbulb, and he was right. When I read stuff on my laptop for long periods of time I prefer yellow on black. I made it through all the Wheel of Time books that way...
> 1. Constant track of your child's whereabouts, being sent to a corporate entity. Talk about the ultimate database of marketing data, and you know that'll be up for grabs.
I doubt they'll keep the data that long, once it's over a few days old it gets pretty useless. Having said that I couldn't find anything about this on their website.
> 2. ANY security flaws in their system open it up for a myriad of privacy violations. Not to mention, as someone else pointed out, it's an instant "find me a victim" site for a kidnapper/pedophile if they can access the information.
Your kid getting kidnapped/abused by a stranger is _extremely_ rare. The people who are most likely to abuse your kid are usually those you didn't suspect and would have told where your kid was had they asked.
Not this crap again. Please tell me why a predator/kidnapper would want to know where your child is? A kidnapper would only have to know the location of your kid once, and from that point on he knows your child is in his basement, no tracker needed! The predator is probably your friend/family and he/she can just ask you where your kid is and you'll tell them because you trust them. In fact you'll probably ask them to look after your kid:p
This ridiculous fear of a stranger wearing a long dark coat kidnapping and raping your child is... ridiculous.
Yes, because children are so terribly difficult to find. No pedophile would ever be able to find a playground or a school without GPS technology. That makes perfect sense.
I beg your pardon? You admit not knowing who came up with that idea, and that you have no idea what evidence they had for their claims; that is, you have no idea at all what the fuck you are talking about, and yet you somehow think you have the right to imply scientists who are no doubt far more knowledgeable when it comes to (neuro-)biology than you are should not have been taken seriously. You, sir, are an asshole.
Guess what. If you seriously damage some part of your brain, it won't (significantly) recover. If that part of your brain was responsible for some function, you will either lose that function, or other areas of your brain will (partially) take over that function or compensate in some other way. If you damage your spinal cord you may never fully recover. Every day neurons die that don't get replaced.
The idea that adult animals don't produce new neurons is NOT silly. For a long time there was no evidence that new neurons were being created and the creation of new neurons was not required to explain what we knew about the workings of the brain. Even now it can probably be compared to classical mechanics: it is 'true enough' in most circumstances.
Don't take my word for it, go read about biology. It shouldn't take long for you to realize that it is your post that is silly, not the idea that you criticize therein.
I'm sure you'll get modded +5 for that, but it's simply not true. There are many, many countries where you can say you disagree with the government or some corporation in public without mysteriously disappearing the next day. Webcams have existed for a long time now and I know of no country where it is required by law to have one turned on 24/7 sending images to 'Our Glorious Leader, May He Live Forever'. You and I and the rest of/. may disagree with many things that happen in this world (mostly concerning surveilance, copyright, and software patents) but if you are from a western country like I assume most/.'ers are, chances are you actually have it very very good in terms of wealth and freedom. That doesn't mean we should sit back and do nothing, but to the whole persecution complex some of us have is ridiculous and an insult to those who have it far worse than us.
Does the device send this information to anyone? The article says no such thing, so the whole "Do we really need cable and/or video service operators knowing this?" line in the summary appears to be FUD. Does anyone have a source with more relevant information about this product?
It probably won't have any effect, they don't use magnetic storage. As others have said, a microwave will be much more effective. Or just use this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RFID_Zapper , should be easy to build.

I thought that was the whole point of 'idle'?

Your turn.
Done. I guess I will survive the -1 offtopic.
And, being a law-abiding citizen, you requested a 17 year old friend have sex with her once?

Agreed. I tried to solve this by going out more and meeting new peoples, but the voices wouldn't let me.

There was a single case. She was also drunk and depressed. Somehow the shrooms got blamed.
To convince you to lick them? Or maybe it doesn't have a purpose and it's merely something that isn't harmful. Interesting question.
