I don't think it's all pediatritions, my doc told me to watch Dragonslayer when I was about five or six. Some just have sticks up their asses.
I gotta stop talking now.

Oook now that I have calmed down a bit over initial pissed-off feeling, I would like to explain myself. I think computers should be censored appropriatly, that children should not be exposed to porno. But complete control is BAD. In that tone, I think television is a GOOD THING for kids when they are young - - under ONE OR TWO EXCEPTIONS: They should watch PBS - type shows (I mean the old stuff, the educational stuff aka Mr. Rojers or Sesame Street). I think Barney is a little too brainless for kids, and don't get me started on teletubbys. I grew up on Mr. Rojers and Sesame Street, and I can tell you I look at people raised on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are sometimes (SOMETIMES - some kids are less impressionable than others) screwed up. Take one kid, big TMNT fan. Now he pulls up a couple of trampolines and does a wrestling show on Public Access Televsion for my town. He is considered a "cool kid." Fake wrestling on trampolines with sweaty, pimply teenagers with names like Superfly. On the other side of the coin there is a good friend of mine who grew up on Ghostbusters (which I didn't see until I was eight - - right around the time I got my first Nintendo (nine or ten, I think)). He saw it in kindergarten. Now he is a great student and is in a good band, the non-hooligan Phish-type. So you can swing either way. I think people should let kids experience technology, and when they reach fourteen or fifteen stop censoring them so much and let them do (almost) whatever they want. Don't think I'm trying to tell you how to raise your kids, I'm not -- I'm only 16. But I DO work at a camp and see all sorts of kids go through my fishing s[pecialist area during the summer. Some are depressed, some are happy. The depressed ones are usually the ones whose parents are taking good care of them, they like to read and enjoy intelligent things. The happy ones are the ones making fun of the smart kids and talking about alcohol and pretending that they drink it all the time. These kids are only 12 or so, so I definitly think those are the ones who needed to be loved more, not to be allowed to look at porn. Damn, I have so much more to say but this is fucking LONG so I'll just stop now. I'm still pissed that the LUG I tried to start was turned down. I think schools should have more tolerence for those who are actually there to LEARN, but that's just me.
I don't care if I get a fucking -10 score for this. This country is so fucking "cencerned" with kids. Oops! Can't use the computer to program these hypocrites fucking programs because I'm under 18!!! Why is America so FUCKING BENT upon raising football players and cheerleaders? This is EXTREMELY evident in my school, where my friend an I tried to sart a Linux club. There are NO, repeat, NO extra-curricular activities in my school that require a fucking BRAIN to participate in. The Web club just talks about the physics of what www means! We tried to start the LUG, as I said, and we were FUCKING TURNED DOWN. We had EVERYTHING we needed to start one. They had NO GOOD REASON to turn us down, but we did. When we go to apply for college, hte section "extracurricular activites" will be mysteriously blank. Why? Because we'd rather LEARN or READ A FUCKING BOOK than grapple with other tightly and scantily - clad males. I geuss we better put that college programming book down -- it might WARP OUR FUCKING MINDS. Sorry, I'm not usually like this, but this PISSES ME OFF.
Hey, I AM a vegetarian. BUT I think PETA should get that stick up their ass and stop trying to force their belifs on other people. This sounds like what the church did in the middle ages, when you think about it (give or take a few deaths). The Church made people be Christian (or Catholic - - whatever...) or they were driven out. In the same sense, we ALL have to be tree huggers or we WILL be ridiculed. The only reason I became a vegetarian was to test my will power, but right about now some raw penguin flesh sounds yummy.
Erm, I don't think it would be that good for what its cost is, seeing as it is written by the people who put the manual up on the web - - just download it and read it that way. Or, go to the nearest Barnes and Noble and sit in a comfy chair with a nice latte and read the whole thing. If its the GIMP manual I'm thinking of, its not that long.
I hope no one gets mad because I stole this one from them - - with software you can make what I like to call "ports." Unless it's from Microcrap which is closed source an won't let you use any apps, that is... With hardware I like to use a magical piece of software called a "device driver." I can only hope this was some sort of pathectic joke...
Besides that, Linux has inspired and changed the lives of many. Some don't even know it. It may even change the level of software Microsoft puts out. With Microsoft 2000, maybe, JUST MAYBE, they cleaned up their act. But with Back Orifice 2000 out even before the OS is, it doesn't look promising. Anyways, because of Linus the sell-outs of the computer world are beginning to termble upon their foundations.
That's why if you live in the U.S. you click on the "No, I'm not in the US" button (if there is one) for encryption laws. Sort of like the "Do not enter if under 18" signs. That or buy from outside of the country so the distro won't be crippled by anti-encryption laws. As if the feds will notice if you run the wrong damn OS.
Naw, I think speaker configuration would be a better thing to add. I know this sounds like it's out from left field, but that's just how I am. I hate having to recompile a kernel each time I up/down grade. RedHat 5.2 is still the best RedHat distro.
Isn't Bobby dead? If not - - this is what I would like to see happen. Or have Gary take on Deep Blue again. I bet he could take him in another contest.
It appears this is only able to run on Windows. There doesn't seem to be a Linux equivilent for the plugin you need. If there is one out there, could you point it out to me? This sounds like a cool ides.
What I would like to see is a simple/. over the left breast and on the back a large "Slashdot" written out with the artwork that is used when an article is posted about Slashdot, such as the "Slashdot Falls From First Place" article today.
What about games? You think you will be able to sucessfully navigate Half-Life or other games which contain many much-needed keys? I doubt it. Not to mention it must be a bitch to code using this.

What the big fuc*ing deal? Who cares whether it be she or he or it or whatever the hell anyone wants to use?

This dude has an interview in Linux Magazine, too. Sort of puts down Richard Stallman, too.
I love Lucy.

Why bother? We all know that Linux is infinitly better. Why waste time which we could be using to code?
What about games? You think you will be able to sucessfully navigate Half-Life or other games which contain many much-needed keys? I doubt it. Not to mention it must be a bitch to code using this.
It's either an elaborate April Fool's day joke, or MicroSh*t just became that much more the loser.
All I have to say is this: BWA HAH HAH HAH!!! I don't think I've seen anyone dressed like that, much less those "hackers."
