The thing is that once they are found the damage has already been done, the kids are f'ed up. Unless they get some heavy duty treatment (and you know that is not going to happen what with the absolutely crappy state of mental health in this country) they are very likely to do the same thing with their kids.
It is a vicious cycle, the abused become the abusers, and so on.
Besides, haven't you seen enough stories about teen runaways and abusive foster parents to know that we don't neccessarily catch these scumbags?
Putting these limits on video games ignores the actual cause of the problems with violent kids, HORRIBLE parents.
IANAL but I would think that you would be able to get the appelate court to strike down the ruling simply because of the conflict of interest with the judge.
The problem with electrics is that the major car makers are too concerned with range. They could easily produce an inexpensive electric, but it would only get 100 miles range, they think their is no market for that.
I have never heard of Corbin before, I am glad that someone is trying out this market properly.
Uhh, why do you need 250 hp to go to the gorcery store? Or to the postoffice? Or to work?
Yeah driving a muscle car is fun, but it is just impractical for everyday use.
Personally I think that cars should be taxed directly proportional to their emissions, electrics will be 0 and then just keep going up, that way you can have your 250hp car (and all those yuppie morons can have their SUVs), but you will have to pay for it, you're polluting our air.
Because you cannot manage a group of systems with telnet and ssh easily. This looks nice. You have a list of systems in a window, you click a system then you can access various things about it. Then switch systems with a mouse click.
I have not used it so but from looking at the screenshots and glancing over the documentation they can probably have some monitoring capability to this too, a process goes down on one system and the icon flashes red. They can have a command to launch ssh or telnet for that system from within Olympus too.
Yes, I have seen several sites that will essentially take over your browser. They remove the entire button toolbar so you don't even have a back button to try. Have to use the right click menu and shortcuts to navigate.
These redirects are pretty weak, all you have to do is press back really fast, essentially hitting back before the redirect page redirects you. It is really easy to do, but then again maybe I just play too much minesweeper. *click* *click* *click*....:)
Uggh, I am so sick of these supposed "scams". It says in the fine print all of the restrictions to these offers. (At least in the last year or so of Fry's ads I have looked at).
The only way that I would be sympathetic to the consumer is if they are either physically blind or nearly blind, whereby they cannot physically read the fine print. To the rest of these yahoos, tough luck, learn to read.
There was a story on Dateline a few days ago about a company who was selling credit card protection, claiming that you would be responsible if your card was stolen. Of course everyone knows that you are only liable for $50. But not these morons who were taken. Oh no, they are too good to actually read the terms of the card, where it says in plain english, YOU ARE ONLY LIABLE FOR $50. (In fairness I think the company who was actually selling this never really sold them anything, so they are wrong and should be stopped, however, I am sure that a company that would actually provide this sort of protection would be branded a scam by Dateline with little provocation).
This is the problem with the US, people are lazy, I mean LAZY. They expect everything to be handed to them on a silver platter, when life actually requires you to think once in a while.
There is a sucker born every minute, but you can no longer take advantage of this in the US without getting busted. Sad, trying to fight Darwin tooth and nail.
If you say in a court 'they can always make analog snippets of it in a classroom or whatever'.. they are right.
Actually they would probably be wrong. If the movie in question is protected by macrovision they would be incapable of making an analog copy as the removal of macrovision is also illegal according to the DMCA.
Yeah, she can sing and she can dance. So can about 8 million+ other people in the world.
This is what I find disturbing about music today. It is basically mass produced "fast food" music. It really doesn't take anyone special to perform it, just a good set of pipes and some nice T&A.
Ever watch that Making the Band crap on ABC? I caught a couple of episodes. It is disgusting. They are basically manufacturing an act. And they call that music?
They are entertainers, not musicians. They do not write their own music or lyrics. They do not choreograph their own dances.
I am just so sick of the constant stream of "bands" that consist of a singer(s) with a tape of some music in the background, there is a word for that, karaoke.
Go learn to write a song, go learn to play an instrument, go learn to live in a garage for a few years so you can create your music. Then I will listen, then I will respect you.
We have higher yield/more precise yield devices than the bad guys. So we can blow up their country a lot more and a lot more efficiently than they can blow up our country.
I say we spin the chamber, put the gun to our heads and pull the trigger already. Put it all on the internet for everyone to see. Lets see what happens.
Considering that the MPAA believes that CSS is a copy protection program then DeCSS would be a device to circumvent a copy-protection since it removes said copy protection, thus circumventing it.
Whether CSS is an actual copy protection device is debatable.
Lars was on KROQ this morning. If anybody recorded it and could throw it up on napster that would be gret.
Anyway, his whole argument is that it is their music and they should be able to distribute it how they want to. They don't care about money, they are rich. They don't care about the fans, they make the music for themselves.
Fibre Channel SAN looks like it would work pretty well. Never used it before myself, I am sure someone else here could give some good info on implementing something like this.
It is not just the really bad boob job (though I have unforutnately seen worse), she has this, well vacant look in all those Playboy photos. Kind of disturbing. Either the photographer was an idiot or she was wasted during that shoot. Just a theory of course.:)

However, abusive parents and poverty have an even greater effect. Yet we let ANYONE have a kid.
Uhh, I was pulling spines out of photo-realistic people in Mortal Kombat about 8 years ago.
Damn, someone wanna give me $80,000 for one of these? :)

It is called vnc. Works fairly well.

You don't have to give them any email address. Just a random string of characters with an @ and a . in it works fine.
That goes for all those annoying download pages that all the big corps seem to love.
You forget the late 70's creations of the Apple II and the Commodore Pet. Both were relativvely inexpensive.
And comparing DOS to a 10k UNIX workstation? That is a bit of a stretch.

ughh, sorry for the meandering rant.
Actually Dell's pimp is Intel, not Microsoft. dell has been offering Linux on their servers for a while now. Plus the Crusoe runs windows.
But just try to get an Athlon system from Dell.

Your sitting on your couch, a
You are sitting in your easy chair reading a book, you read an obscure reference, you pull out your webpad and look up the info.
You are in your kitchen, you forgot your recipe for cookies, you pull out your webpad and look up the recipe.
You are sitting on your toilet...well you get the idea.
etc...
Certainly not a replacement for PDA, too big.
The above have happened to me numerous times, I have wanted one of these things since I first heard of the Cyrix based one, so damn handy.
