  1. Re:Gracious Me! on Minor Computer Flaw Frees State Prisoners · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Actually, it's the Corporate Justice System. Prisoners make fine cheap laborers for a good number of American corporations, as well as a profit center for said corporations and privately run correctional facilities. Now do you understand why having some reefer is an imprisonable offense? It's always the dollars. (Not surprisingly, Tom DeLay has profitted from prison profit centers. Hopefully someone will now profit from his imminent incarceration...)

    Ask one of the statues something simple, like "Are you a statue?" or "Are you guarding this door?" The Republican, err, lying death statue will be compelled to lie in the face of all evidence to the contrary.

  7. Re:What's deviant? on FBI Agents Put New Focus on Deviant Porn · · Score: 1

    I dunno about the Middle Ages, but onanism was clearly punishable by death in ancient times, by God himself:

    "And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. And the thing which he did displeased the Lord: wherefore he slew him also." (Genesis 38:7-9)

  16. Netscape on Transferring Mail from AOL? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Netscape allows you to get your AOL mail via IMAP (at least it used to). You could download it that way, and then use one of the various utilities out there to forward your mail to Gmail (Google for them). Some do a simple forward and everything looks like it came from you, and others I think are a bit smarter about it (I think they use redirect instead of forward).

    It was Bill Gates. He couldn't figure out what CompuGlobalHyperMegaNet did, so he "bought them out" to avoid competing with them.

    In the US, terrorism and protesting are one in the same, unless you are killing abortion doctors or protesting abortion clinics. Those are OK, 'cause Jesus said so.

    If you really wanted that information, you would have followed the link to the Django website, and found, almost instantly:

    Developed and used over the past two years by a newspaper Web operation, Django is well-suited for developing content-management systems. It was designed from scratch to handle the intensive deadlines of a newsroom and the stringent requirements of experienced Web developers.

    You'd also have noticed that chicagocrime.org, one of the famous Google Map API using sites we /.ers have spent so much time drooling over, uses Django.
