That quote is just as true as Al Gore claiming to "invent the internet" - maybe even less.
My suspicion is that it's less. Al Gore claimed to have taken the initiative in creating the internet, but it existed before he was elected to the Senate when he could have voted to approve funding.
Why on earth would you assume that your Bukkake guys are "bad men" and she's a "poor woman"? And why would you assume that a bit of sarcasm would make your point clear?
When talking with other adults, I don't consider either party to be "bad" or "poor". If I talking to a child who had accidentally come across it, I suspect that's the route that the discussion would take.
To ask the question again "So, would you describe the men as "pillars of the community" and the woman as a "role model" when trying to explain it to a child?"
The next 10 years will consist of a new type of external graphics hardware being built, which will of course, be folded into the CPU at the end of it.
I'm thinking that the next big thing to go through the cycle will be Physics Processing Units. That is if they pick any momentum in the marketplace at all.
Gaining or losing the Linux market isn't going to make or break any company, but there a a lot of Linux based 3D workstations out there. Spending a hundred thousand dollars on OSS driver development might bring in a couple of extra million dollars worth of sales.
Religious people aren't "pushing their beliefs on you". That's a fear-mongering tactic used by one side. That's basically equal to asking if you like killing babies.
Well, except that the second accusation is more often true.:)
You have a huge hurdle to overcome. How do you accuse the pro-lifers of trying to push their religious beliefs on other people if they are using science to justify their position?
And I haven't even gotten to you odd sexual morals. Why on earth would you assume that your Bukkake guys are "bad men" and she's a "poor woman"? Can't they all just be adults having fun?
So, would you describe the men as "pillars of the community" and the woman as a "role model" when trying to explain it to a child?
But did you know that the origin of filth like this is exactly the prudishness that you, and others, defend?
Keeping children from seeing explicit sexual materiel isn't prudish. It's responsible. Keeping adults from seeing other adults engaged in consentual activity is.

I imagine the defense's case going something like this...
Lawyer "Mr. Doe, you set up your own independent wireless network on my client's premises, correct?"
Idiot "Yes."
Lawyer "Mr. Doe, you left the SSID or 'name' of the network at the default value and didn't add any encryption or security?"
Idiot "Yes."
Lawyer "What could my client have done to protect you from your own actions?"
Idiot "They could have made me sign an agreement to not leave a wireless network unsecured."
Lawyer "So, my client is responsible for this because they didn't force you to use safety measures. Is Ford responsible for your ticket because they didn't force you to wear a seatbelt and drive under the posted speed limit?"
Idiot "HEY! Thanks for the idea, I'll sue them next...Uh...What?"
The Big Car companies have come out with E85 which uses only 15% gasoline and 85% ethanol. So once the demand gets high enough for that, ie enough E85 cars are out on the road, then we won't be dependent on foreign oil.
I believe that Ethanol is the near-future of automobiles. In many parts of the world, it's too cold to run a car on pure Ethanol, but a blend like E85 would work. Ethanol is environmentally friendly, it's carbon neutral, it's renewable, and once demand and volume increase enough the price will plummet.
Maybe not the long term answer however it would help solve the fact that we are funding Iran which in turn was helping to fund Iraq, and is currently helping to fund the Taliban against USA and Hezbollah against Israel.
Israel is largely to blame for their own problems, but that's a nother discussion.
his past weekend I was washing my dogs and discovered that the water left in the hose all afternoon was actually hotter than what comes out of my hot water heater. I need to build a solar pre-heater contraption for my gas water heater.
About 11 years ago, I left a bottle of water in my car on a hot summer day. My car had a black interior. When I came out of work, I squirted the water out and touched the stream and it scalded my hand.
I know of people who route hoses from the filter pump of their swimming pools through solar heaters to keep their pools toasty warm on cooler days.
How much innefficiency is there in having lots of tiny little combustion engines zooming all over the place with a bunch of ignorant car owners (I imply we all are ignorant to some degree with our cars) compared to a couple hundred regional power facilities that can use whatever fuel and power generation necessary?
How much inefficiency is there is transmitting power over hundreds of miles of wire? How much power is lost to the resistance of the lines? How much power is lost at every voltage conversion? How much power is lost due to incorrectly operating devices in the home? How much power is lost when charging the batteries? How much power is lost when using battery power? How much power is lost at every inversion or rectification?
Electric versus combustion isn't a hands down winner. I think that it's great that people are working on other things, but this isn't the magic bullet.
Personally, I think seeing sex is a whole lot heathier than violence.
I have one word for you sir, Bukkake.
I'd much, much rather explain to a child why the bad man on TV shot someone than explain why all of those bad men are glunking all over some poor woman's face.

And I don't count movie adaptions, because you already know how the story ends.
Precisely why I told my fiance that I wasn't going to see Titanic and why I told my girlfriend that I wasn't going to see Pearl Harbor.

The government's concerns were a part of the judge's decision. That would make the constitution applicable.
LK
Has this judge ever even read the constitution?
There's no out clause in the fourth amendment. It doesn't end with "Unless, the government wants to keep it secret."

while pro choicers believe things that only things which would be viable life forms outside of the womb should be protected.
You forgot a phrase at the end of that statement ", if the mother wants to keep it."

The big difference is that most larger retailers and chain stores will carry an "M" rated title, but will not carry "AO" titles.
Less shelf space = less revenus = less profit.
