I did read it - did you read the post I was replying to. He said "Ask those same people about having THEIR face superimposed on a nude child's body and see how their answers change." This is a totally different and clearly illegal activity because now there was an actual child harmed. I said the more interesting question is asking the people who thought it didn't break the law if their opinion changed if it was THEIR CHILD's face on the nude adult body instead of Miley Cyrus's.
Reading comprehension - not just to be applied to the article.
But that appears to actually violate the law in question - because in that case there is an actual minor involved in a simulated sexual act. The better question to ask is if their answer changes if their childs face is superimposed on a nude adult.
Not only that, but the size of a dish required to focus the sunlight on the "barrel" is not mentioned. It is mentioned, from the article
An 88-square meter solar furnace will blast sunlight into the unit, heating the rings to about 2,600 degrees Fahrenheit.
We do know that many unwanted pregnancies started with having sex.... I heard one shrink that made the argument that if you have someone that is predisposed to unwanted pregnancies then having sex can push him [her] over that line
Except if it now if everyone has identity cards - if you don't have you, then obviously you are a terrorist. You need to be arrested until your "real" identity can be determined.
Everyone knows that Batman doesn't fly -- this warning would be much more appropriate on a Superman cape...
While I know that, and you know that, apparently the manufacturer of the cape does not know that. And that is a large part of the reason I found so amusing.
"Allowing computer technicians to snoop on people's private data is like putting surveillance cameras in dressing rooms. The violation of so many people's privacy far outweighs any benefits that might be gained.
This I disagree with. While I am 100% against video cameras in the PUBLIC space I am not against video cameras in a private space (i.e. dressing rooms of a store). My feelings for personal privacy have no weight in a privately owned store that is using video cameras as a theft prevention mechanism. I do however have an equal weight with regards to my feelings about public spaces being spied upon.
That seems kind of backwards - you would rather have video cameras up where video can be taken of you in various states of undress, than have video cameras up in public space.
While in public I have no expectation of privacy, and I have no problems with the multiple traffic cameras that record me on my way to work. But if I found out that a store had installed cameras in the dressing room, not only would I never shop there again, but I would raise hell over it to make sure no one else ever shopped there either.
I took the time, got your money order and self address and stamped an envelope only to realize I didn't have your address! What am going to do now? Without a certificate will any one believe I took your excellent class?;)
Actually if you read some of the books, the Kessel run is the path out of Kessel past a large number of black holes. Han was bragging about how short of a run he made. Kind of off road experience in space. The books say that the path Han took was plotted as unsafe by the computers, and the slower ships that were following him were sucked in by the black holes.
In the original release of A New Hope, in the cantina scene with Han and Greedo, Han shot first at Greedo. In the special edition remake, Lucas edited in Greedo firing off a shot first.
Now Greedo's shot was way off and had no chance of hitting Han, so it didn't affect the overall story any. The problem people have with it is that it changes Han's character from someone who's willing to shot first and take charge to a character that is more reactive.
NOW imagine that none of the cops like cream filled donuts, but you have the only donut shop in town. Imagine the city passing law that all donut shops HAD to serve X% of their donuts to be regular glazed, holed, donuts. What then? This KILLS the purpose of YOU being in business.
Your anology is a little flawed. Imagine instead that your shop makes filled donuts, with the differences being what the donut is filled with.
Suppose your shop makes boston cream filled, strawberry jelly filled, and grape jelly filled. Your shop now only sells these donuts in groupings of 4 boston cream, 4 strawberry, and 4 grape.
I as a buyer am interested in your strawberry, but only your strawberry donuts, I have to buy 8 extra donuts to get 4 donuts that I do want.
I've heard it was both - I find it more ironic that someone thought batman's cape would let them fly - since as someone else pointed out, batman could not fly.
No idea why anyone would think a batman cape would give them the ability to fly. But given the sue-happy country I live in (good ole USA) I can only guess that someone attempted to fly while wearing said batman cape, and after realizing that the cape did not confer aforementioned benefit, turned around and sued the manufacturer/marketer/place of sale.
I can tell you Star Wars galaxies is a lot better these days (vehicles, ridable mounts, player cities, a lot more content).
Can I get in a ship and fly to a differant planet? Can I get in my X-Wing and blow up TIES? Can I flee in terror from the horror that is an Imperial Class Star Destroyer? Until both space combat and space travel is there it's not Star Wars.
What galls me is that Verisign has successfully implanted into the justice system the belief that a domain name is not physical property.
A domains is not physical property. Until you can hand me my domain and let me touch it, it cannot be physical. Now I do believe that it is property, and is valuable.
[Pamela] Urueta says she has presented evidence in a San Jose, Calif., courtroom showing Stephen Michael Cohen earned millions in profits from 1996 to 2000, the years that he operated sex.com. She claims that since Kremen began operating sex.com as an adult entertainment site in early December, he has made monthly profits "well into the six digits."
Pamela Urueta is Gary Kremen's attorney. I don't think it's unreasonable to think that profits could be close to a million dollars a month. Kremen was also seeking punitive damages. I think that this settlement sends out a good message to people attempting to steal domains.

I'm going to go with - All of them.

Apologies in advance for replying to your sig, but I have to know - are you a truck? ;)
Can I get in a ship and fly to a differant planet? Can I get in my X-Wing and blow up TIES? Can I flee in terror from the horror that is an Imperial Class Star Destroyer? Until both space combat and space travel is there it's not Star Wars.
I thought your sig was particularly funny. Given the context of the discussion, I half expected to be trivia relating to tech support
No they won't. But they may find an old pentium that may have been used to develop them.
So that this
Becomes this
Thus:
-(b2 - b1) = t1 * t2 * x
Thus if b2 = 0 (all bugs are fixed)
then b1 = t1 * t2 * x
Which means that one or more of t1,t2 or X must all be non-0 unless b1 is also 0.

So the only definitions for peap I could find were as acronyms
PEAP
1. Positive-End Airway Pressure
2. Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol
And I'm not sure how either one of those would search to a pear.
