Yes, they do. Since when does the bill of rights protect your from your parents?
I was under the impression that they were restrictions on congress. The first amendments says nothing of being able to say what you want to your parents. However, the government would not be able to censor someone or arrest someone for exercising protected speech, even if they were a minor. Again, I think you are a bit mislead on what the bill of rights actually is (protection from the government, not exemption from parental oversight).
I was a "dual-booter" on my desktop (Windows for Games, GNU/Linux for everything else plus nix on the laptop) for around 11 years. About 7 months ago, I threw away my Win7 install and went pure GNU/Linux.
There very few things that I miss, mainly games. I've been tempted to try Cross-over, but would really like to see some big titles on Linux.
First of all, "you don't know me" is appropriate in this situation. I grew up far from a cocoon, well below poverty level, frequently living in shit areas with bad influence. However, I put myself through school, and now make enough money that I am comfortable and can support myself and my girlfriend.
Second of all, my point is not to compare my job to a police officer, but to point out: If you can't handle the job, you should not be doing it. I'm friends with a few cops, some of them do it for the money (some of them make upwards of 60,000-70,000 a year; which is damn good for not having a degree). Some of them do it because they love the work. None of them behave this way. If your temper or mental state doesn't allow you to do a job with the professionalism due the position, you shouldn't be doing it.
Police officers also have authority, firearms, and a rather large fraternity. They should be held to a standard that does those privileges honor, not disgrace.
For folks that use windows, just grab virtualbox (or some other free VM) and install a copy of Debian or Fedora or Ubuntu or PCBSD or any other free *nix distro. Tada.:)
I deal with people that infuriate me all of the time at work. Guess what? Part of my job is acting professionally and courteously toward my coworkers and to the clients that I speak with. If I don't, I lose my job. A police officer, being in a position of authority, should be even more cool-headed and professional. I don't want some hot-head with a gun going off because some dick in a sports car called him names.
What are you talking about? They can't "infiltrate" the code anymore than you or I can. Anything that's malicious will be found. It's open source...people can see the source code and change it.
and i won't hate you for that. I'm probably one of the least clean people I know (not un-hygienic, I DO shower; I don't use hand-sanitizer, or wash my hands every time I touch something). I rarely get sick.
On the other hand, the nutjobs with the sanitizer seem to be calling out every month.

I wish that I could understand that sentence but without becoming insane. Your mind must be a wild and interesting place.

I can't believe that it a real movie. Wow.

It gets me sometimes too. Like in the above example I heard a whooshing sound but didn't realize the joke was flying above my head.

Read the subject, then the body. The first part of his sentence is the subject. The second part of it is the body of the comment.....
Incredible post. I am just posting to give props, since I haven't got any mod points.

Knowledge/0=Infinite stupidity.
You can't divide by zero. Additionally, learn to type so that people can understand the point you are attempting to convey.
