My uncle is/was a pedophile. He has never acted upon his feelings, yet he is tortured by them. He goes to counciling weeky. He can not be "cured" because they can't change their feelings. They can just give him medication (decreases testosterone levels, etc), that will prevent him from acting out. Part of his therapy was to look at "non-erotic" pictures of prepubescents. (not child porn, since they can not legally suggest that). Basically soft-core. Naturist photos etc. He tells me what he's going through. He says "imagine herterosexuality was illegal. You were not allowed to act on your desires. You would have to locl yourself inside of a room. Somepeople might get arrested". You know how some people are so socially inept they couldn't get laid if they tried? Well, that's my uncle, but as a pedophile. He doesn't have the chutzpah. But man, does he wish he can.
There was a huge discussion concerning this on Kuro5hin. My uncle is a convicted pedophile. However, he never did anything. He turned himself in. Didn't work. His fantasies are still there. He claims he is no different than homosexuals. If his desire is considered sick, than the desire of homosexuals must be sick as well. He said that since society is more accepting of homosexuals, it is no longer a sickness (since 1967). I'm not saying I agree with him, it's just that it's an interesting topic of discussion
So, what you are saying is, if YOU look at virtual kiddy porn, we can expect to see your picture in the NY times? It will TURN you into a pedophile? That is very naive. Just like listening to Ozzy will make me commit suicide or playing Quake will make me go out with a macine gun and statt shooting people. They've found the Trench Coat Mafia with violent video games. That MUST be it! The GAME made them do it! They found Marilyn Manson too...it's HIS fault. Sue Atlantic records (?) for peddling instruments of brutality.
So, we prohibit freedom of expression for everybody so the 1% of the population that MAY use it for ill won't use it. Just like banning violent video games so the 1% who are already mentally distrurbed are protected....that's ridiculous

Adam and Eve isn't a literal play by play of the human race. Adam means "mankind". It's symbolic. The first 3 chapters of Genesis is a poem, that rhymes. It's main point is: "I created EVERYTHING. I'll give you a quick ditty on how it started." Then he busts into song.:) The Bible demands logic and does not demand blind faith. Pastor's are people who help you interpret the Bible, but, since they are human, they are prone to error.The first people to condemn are the people who take out passages that suit there particular situation. There is more detail on the creation of the world, that is NOT in Genesis that validates what we are discovering now. Read Daniel sometime. You'll start laughing at the people who quote Genesis by memeory.
Just because it's in a book doesn't mean thats it's true!-Christian mom upon seeing son with genetics textbook.
You REALLY mean: Woman who lives on blind faith and only what the pastor says.
There is NOTHING in the Bible to denounce genetics. The Bible is not a science book. God gave us free will and brains to figure out the world. He gave us spiritual laws. And about who created us. WE can figure out how it was done.
In the past year, I've installed HP/UX, SOlaris and AIX. The vi is different ont he commercial platforms than it is on Linux. When I switch from a Linux ssh connection to an AIX session, I forget that backspace doesnt work on AIX (unless I set up the env). It annoys me. I wil forget that x and d deletes, after using vim for so long
really? Well, I have to admit that it didn't install at all on a spare Compaq presario 1200 laptop I had. Nothing installs on that thing. That's my test laptop. If it installs on that thing with out a hitch, it's a damn good distro !
Yeah..I decided I was too combative to be a programmer:) I refused to sit in a cube and punch a way code for 12 hours for someone else. I'd rather sit at home and punch away code for me:)
Hmmmm, since I no longer program for a living (I like to program on my OWN terms), I do freelance on projects every now and then, and I program freeware and Open Source software. I like to program on my own terms, and I'll use any damn language I please as long as it does the job. I rememebr my last programming gig. They need a program done. They said it HAS to be in VB. I asked them why. They said that's all we know about. It didnt matter that they would NEVER see the code, or that when I gave them the final product 4 weeks later they were happy. It WASN'T in VB. (It was Delphi). Why Delphi? I honestly didn't know how to do what they wanted in VB. It would have taken longer fo rme to research it then to just write it in Delphi, which I knew how to do it in
Yeah, but shoddy software and experimental drivers STILL won't make linux crash. The only thing in the past 2 years that has made my Linux system hang was when I tried burning a cd, while I tried compiling my kernel. My desktop hung. I had to ssh in (from another box on my network)and stop some processes. It STILL didnt ruin the 200 day uptime.It was bad memory. SInce then, I have been running my primary workstation for months without a shutdown (except for kernel upgrades)
Actually Lycoris boots into a graphic screen. The Xterm button is very nicely hidden. No log messages, nothing. Throw in a cd, and it automatically loads the file manager or plays it if it's audio. Throw in a DVD and it plays it! WHoa nelly!
I don't use Linux because it's free. I use it because of it's SHEER power. I can burn CDS, and play a DVD at the same time while I'm compiling mozilla and reading slashdot. No viruses, secure, remote access, simpel to get real stuff done once you know how.
Lycoris is for Mom, not for a savvy 25 year old PC user. A wireless NIC? Install Mandrake. Lycoris focuses on what most simple users need when they buy an HP from Best Buy. Menu items such as Burn DVD, Burn Audio CDS,Burn Data CD (NO Audio), Play DVD. There is no option for Set up NVIDIA GEFORCE card to play HalfLife. No option for Wireless Cards either. Thats what the reg distros are for.
I know Mandrake makes EVERYTJING a module, even NVIDIA cards, so you NEVER have to recompile your kernel. To update your kernel you can just do a urpmi kernel
Here's how cd/usr/src/linux make xconfig This starts the GUI check EVERY Checkbox. make everythign a module. Or read what the trusty help box says ("if you don't know what a FooPlaster X is, you cna leave this alone") Then click save configuration..it tells you to type : make depend; make modules; make linux
then type make install
If you're using a modern distro, you can set up the new kernel using GUI tools Reboot, choose your new kernel, and you're in heaven
You never tried Corel?? MAN, Corel ROCKED. It has the 2.2.2 Kernel. It's too much of a bitch to update it to modern specs. That's why XANDROS picked it up. I'm a beta tester for XANDROS. XANDROS will knock Lycoris on it;s ASS! Trust me folks. You aint seen NOTHIN yet.
I wish people would read the Lycoris site and realizre the ftp.lycoris.com is SLOW and they prefer you use one of their mirrors. Linuxiso randomly selects a mirror EXCEPT ftp.lycoris.com
That's what makes Lycoris great for newbies..there is NOTHING running. (Except Samba) and sshd is only enabled by a deeply hidden Menu choice called Remote control. Then it says (would you like to enable SSHD which allows professionals to remotely control your computer? YES NO) I had to hack the/etc/init.rd for my wife to turn it on on reboot. Because it won't run automatically.Samba actually only runs when you TELL it to. And it won't let you use a blank password. Thats one of the reasons above I said it was annoying for linux veterans. You feel like your back in windows some times. No control. Lycoris REALLY limits you to what you can do. Great for Ex-windows people. BAD for Linx people
