well, except for that part where you have to go kill people (or help others to do so) for a cause that could very well be unethical, or that it is criminal to quit.
But yes, many people go (used to) into the military for that reason.
think tourist VISA that disallows working. It seams a good idea to me. I bet they could get some Americans to work there even if the pay was ok. If I was single and strait out of college I would work for almost nothing in exchange for having no taxes, no expenses and no home to maintane. I would imagine that even at bad pay after a year you would have a good down payment on a house (not in the California area though).
I am sure the stories you would have alone would make it worth it for some people.
Arena and Daggerfal were out by then (well Arena anyway) and they played very much like Morrowind (I lie, I never played Daggerfall, but Arena did).
Arena is one of the games that impressed me most ever, but like daggerfall I got tired of it not too far in, and would not compare it to PS1 or SNES RPGs at all.
I seem to remember early CD-ROMS being bigger then the HDs that came with the computers.
I know I had Grollier encyclopedia on my computer with a 500MB hard drive, and I was not first to get a CD-ROM either.
At school I think our Amiga with a CD-ROM had a smaller drive then the CDs.
I don't know I just have a very different memmory of CDs early on, this sense of wow, thats a lot of space. Part of it might have been they were 400 times larger then the floppies they replaced for program distribution though. A jump like that would be equivelent to 3.6 TB (9GB DVD), which they are not even talking about.
These things would have to be real cheap to be worht it, with 500 GB exernal drives offering better performance and being available now.
Some random guy or gal that isn't at parent teacher nights ect., and that get to spend time alone with children in a small closed off office.
What about substitute teachers or chapperones on trips.
What about after care people, and the substitutes they have.
There are a lot of people at schools that you don't get to know, and if you do it is only superficial.
I agree this case is not so bad, but surly a company that has employees doing the exact thing they are supposed to prevent should face some kind of a penalty. I personally think the real problem is that people get to keep the punative damages; if the penalty went to the government (or a charity) and had the sole purpose of penalising the offender I would feel a lot better about them. it is now they are a gift to the wronged that goes beyond pure compensation for a wrong.
Well, it would be nice to be able to distrbute a confidential document with GPL fonts, it would also be nice to distribute one without the GPL (for example a one page letter would be real awkward with a long liscense attached.
The source is not the only thing required to be attached to the GPL, the right to redistribute is not always a good thing to give to people (medical records etc.).
I really kind of thought the whole point of/. is the comments.

I have always had better luck getting minimal functional video in Linux then Windows (16 bit 800x600 or better) when installing on random box with random on baord video.
Look at what Knoppix does on practically all hardware compared to Windows. I hate getting graphics up to snuff on Windows, nvidia's website won't even work at the deafault resolution for a fresh install (have to tab to the "Go" button to download drivers).
Also an aside, I just installed SUSE 9.2 and get better refresh rates then Windows allows without doing anything. Getting 3D to work was a pain, but 2D just worked, and better then Windows even with a driver.
I think the real problem in this situation is the hardware, I love using Linux, and am happy running Black Box on an old 486 with 16 MD RAM, but I wouldn't wish that on a new user. unless these machines are at a minumum 400 Mhz with 64MB RAM so that they have a shot at running KDE I don't think Linux is the ideal choice to be forcing on people.
how is this less secure then my Linux system (I am the only user).
If I run something stupid I can have my files tampered with and every time I tun my computer it could become a bot (using high port numbers).
I could lose all my personal data also.
I could do things to make it more secure (noexec on ~, but then root becomes needed for stupid little scripts), but the deafult installs do not do that.
Multi user systems where ~ is noexec are more secure then running as root, but single user ones where ~ can have executables are no better at protecting others then running as root.
Not running as root only saves me a small amount of recovery time, and I don't really care about the apps as much as the personal data anyway. So if I can lose my data, and I can be a bot (which is the only way my insecure computer affects you) how am I any more secure not as root?
Maintaning these lists of active addresses sounds like more work then it is worth, what is their cost of sending to bogus and inactive addresses?
Maintaning secret knock patterns and keeping track of which ones are where (if they are all the same it seams a honey pot would be a good investment to me).
logging of requests for invisible.gifs that have a serial number may be worth it (co-host with fake credentials in random country, capture for a day, and move on with a new one), but maintaning a mail server with DNS records would seam to make the weak link the registrar and not a bot machine if they are using DNS addresses.
I would think that they use security through transience and not through rigid security.

It's not to save money. The purpose is to eliminate child slavery.
When I am trying to buy something obscure (such as the sticky plastic holders for folded flyers to stick to a board, or 2-color screen printed mini-CDs in a plastic sheeth), I find that Google adds are THE best way to find them. The sites that artificialy increase their ranking are generaly not as good as those that pay for adds.
Also lots of times it is hard to get a good search for a product, but the people that want to sell it pay for adds, so if you are looking to buy soomething the adds can act as a filter of only relavent sites.
The Addwords are about people clicking who want advertising, they are unobtrusive others can ignore them.
As far as this goes, that's pretty dangerous. "Congress" is defined in Article I, Section I of the Constitution thusly: All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
oh, so now I am supposed to look at the document as a whole too?
I thought the whole point of the constitution was to look at is as narrowly as possible and enforce your opinions on others.
In all seriousness I should have been smart enought to know that they defined congress. The only reason there is any ambiguity is because it is at the beginning of a sentance so the capitalization could be for forced and not to mean "Congress" but we are talking about smart people who wouldn't be dumbe enough to do that anyway.
That is a scary thought. I do find that especialy intersting since some of the larger abuses of theocracy were at the local level (salem).
This is a very interesting case of errosion of state rights.
By your interpretation there is no first amendment protections at all, we are only safe against the federal government.
It could be argues that congress also had a slightly different meaning and that using the definition "Act of coming together or meeting" it means that no group of people can do that to anybody under any set of rules. Of course that is tenuous at best.

a three day VISA is not so hard to get.

I would imagine the balance of penalty to harm is very high in the candy-bar offence.
a wrapper in a pile of shit == a fine probably larger then a first time drug offense (using).

I can say I am buying a PS3, but mainly because I don't have a PS2.

Sounds like Elder Scrolls to me.
Even the first one.
not so much shooting though.
I actually think that prior to its death the DC games did shine.
Look at Soul Caliber or Shenmue or even Shenmue 2. The DC had some nice looking racing games also.
I do think that having a CD was a huge minus for the DC, but the games on it were spectacular compared to the competition (early on especialy).
I guess it pays to make sure you put friendly leaders in charge after a military action.

They did Coupling on NBC and tried to give all the jokes an American context, it didn't work.
I do think Arrested Developement is great though, but it feels fairly British.
it wasn't that, it was that a few coins was worth more then an order of magnatude more then what I am used to.
I am not used to counting my coins as I throw them into tip jars.
You may have missed it.
They did it on the Turnpike (or maybe 295) when they upped the speed limit to 65.
And yes, for a while they would pull you over for going 2 over, but now as long as you don't weave you are safe (YMMV)
Funny,
in New Jersy they have all sorts of signs saying to call and report aggressive drivers.
I was always confused as to what they would do, but they want you to do it.
The first tip I left when I visited london was 7 pounds.
I threw in a few loose coins like I typically do here. oops, I apperently tipped $10.00 on a $13.00 breakfast.
I bet I made somebody happy though.
The entire time I was in England I was confused as to why I would have loose change worth more then I usually cary in cash in the US.
