"I thought in 1996 all we did was idle in IRC channels while we wrote code in other terminals."
Those of us on DARPANET did other things, like play Colossal Cave on the old DEC machines, running RT-11 and using up a ton of thermal paper to remember our moves, or played similar games using TTY's. Punched cards and paper tape. We thought the world was perfect when MYLAR tape became available.
1978. LOL and BBS's were a few years in the future. Woohooooo.
It is nice to see this, even if it is fake or stale.
If Microsoft execs had to endure the convoluted mess that Microsoft.com is, they would at least try to fix it. Sadly, auto-updates allows them to miss all this fun!!!
That or their IT staff pushes the stuff for them. Grrrrr.
Northrup-Grumman may not be the only entity with such lax security. The last I heard, Northrup-Grumman was a private company, even IF they work with people in the government, they basically make aircraft and aircraft parts.
Why should they be trusted with ANY such information? Are the Orbitz(TM) of the GAO?
WHO CARES? I mean really. A total waste of electrons, always has been, always will be. Not News, much less News for Nerds. More like news for TURDS. See how it rhymes?
The EULA was invented by Microsoft, making new ground in the world of contracts.
It is a unilateral agreement, just like the "if you open this, you agree to our terms" mentality.
It is NOT a binding contract, since until you open, install and read, you cannot have a meeting of the minds necessary to a valid contract. Wishful thinking to many. NOT a binding Contract.
I am not a lawyer, but I was not born yesterday either. Five elements of a contract are :
The contract must be for legal purposes The partied must be of sound mind and able to enter into the agreement The terms must be available before the contract can be entered into. There has to be an understanding BEFORE the contract can become "real" There has to be consideration for both parties
EULA's and shrink-wrapped contracts fail on two of these points.
The 'Catch 22' effect is in full force. You cannot know exactly what you are agreeing to unless you open the package. I say shoot anyone who tried to enforce this stuff, and the lawyers who believe this crap.
I am on the list and they still call, and they NEVER answer after I speak and call them Niggers,Niggers,Niggers,Niggers, Niggers, Niggers ad nauseum.
I wonder why?
Seriously, these people should be able to be reported by forwarding their fake number to the FEDS, and a mandatory $5000.00 USD per call should be levied against the company. Naturally I should get $2500.00 for doing the FED's work for them.
Yes it is a joke. Hunter gatherers without the agriculture part are carbon neutral. Once you grow controlled crops or harvested things, you have upset the natural balance. PERIOD.
Using this as a basis for analysis we can make some predictions and conclusions. These may or may not be accurate, but do we have compelling data to make the case that Pedophilia is genetic in origin?
Up until the early 20th century, the average lifespan of humans was 30 years of age, plus or minus 7 years. Worldwide.
IF the human race was to survive, reproduce and train our children to be self-sufficient, we needed to start breeding at the earliest possible time in our existence. We, as adults had limited time left in out lives.
Assuming that 35 years is the norm for human life , we would have to start families as soon as a relatively healthy female was able to have children IF we were to raise the children to be able to survive.
I am assuming that survival is a base instinct. People, whether agricultural (a relatively recent development) or hunters, wish to survive. What better way to survive than have progeny who can help the parents survive in their old age? This old age would be around 30 years. Children could help increase the available food supply for all. The children would benefit from the knowledge of their elders and as a side-effect, elders would live longer, since they had to do less work for more gain.
Picture this : You live 30 years and struggle to survive on a daily basis. You hunt and gather for your needs. You are basically nomads, going where food can be found or hunted. You, as an individual are dying from birth onwards. Religion has no place in this pre-history time. That will come later.
The adults who are reproducing, need time to teach their children survival skills PLUS need to be brought into full 'production' if the parents are to benefit from the youthful energies and abilities of their progeny. Children are additional community workers, basically bound to family/social groups by association.
Adults are getting older, slower and less strong. The mind is all many adults have to keep them alive once their physical abilities are compromised. Thinking and knowledge was becoming paramount.
This is not alturistic, it is practical. Family groups, related people, grouped together for many common reasons. Survival, a common language (perhaps just signs and grunts) that conveyed meaning to other people within the group. This enabled knowledge to be passed on to the family and next generation.
Is this hard to beleive? I think not, but many modern people fail to see what was needed for their situation to improve over the years to the point we are at today. Remember, language is a recent development and written and mass produced language is even newer.
Teaching children was a secondary thing early on in our existence. Merely having people (children) who could help us hunt or raise crops was important to us as a people. The secondary effects simply came about by default. The children provided us with more labor to accomplish our 'goals'. The goals being more food and an easier life.
People, whether through genetics or accident, began to pass down ideas and concepts that enabled us to proliferate and prosper.
I believe that the early mating with conducive mates, allowed us as a people, to become what we are today.
I think that the need to mate, coupled with perceived strengths in our mates, has given us an advantage over other species. I think that early mating, with perceived 'better quality' spouses, has made the human race the best on the planet.
The real reason for early mating was to get the best traits in our progeny at an earlier time than our contemporaries, thereby allowing 'our' tribe to prosper.
Traditional modern newspapers have always been ad sponsored, just like television and radio.
What is killing newspapers is the rise in advertising cost versus a dwindling readership.
I used to use newspapers to advertise my old cleaning business, and 20 years ago, they worked fine. Professional Cleaners - xxx-xxxx (phone number) - cost $20.per month, published daily.
Today :
Professional Cleaners - xxx-xxxx costs $340.00 per month, published everyday.
Simple economics, they priced themselves out of the market all the while losing readership. Yes, the cleaning business was a side-line, not my real job. That $340.00 dollars represented income from 4 clients per month. So basically 4 homes were cleaned for free each month.

This sounds like the usurpation of thinking people to videiots.

When smart con men, fraudsters and the like, stop taking advantage of the stupid people. Easy, huh?

And it worked. Now I have a serious question.
IS PEDOPHILIA A GENETIC TRAIT?

Grrrrr.
Here is my order for an Open Source Genetic engineering project:
Kudzu incorporating cannabis genes for buzz, strawberry genes and tomato genes for food value.
That, when released ,would fix many of the worlds problems.
Yeah, I like all three. Peach genes would be nice too.
