The problem is with the vague language used:
"The average person, applying contemporary community standards...""offensive to prevailing standards in the adult community"
Who gets to decide whose views represent those of the "average person"?
Who gets to decide what the "contemporary community standards" or the "prevailing standards in the adult community" are?
Second, my kids do not go out. At all. That means no after school activities (except for sports, where they are accompanied by either me or my spouse), no wandering off, no travelling and certainly no 'parties', or whatever that is.
Unless you're a troll, then you, sir or ma'am, are warping your children. Your children will grow up, devoid of social skills, and will not be able to function in the real world (having never been exposed to it).
I have known many people whose parents had the same attitude that you espouse here. Every single one of them degenerated into a mess of sex and drugs the instant they were set free after high school; they simply hadn't learned to regulate their emotions and impulses, nor did they know how to form healthy interpersonal relationships. Their parents, like you, had simply not given them the chance to grow up.
To expect such a child to "have developed enough sense to keep on following these rules" by the time they turn 18 is absurd; Once they are out from under your thumb, they will do everything humanly possible to escape from those rules.

Used a dictionary much?
From www.m-w.com: "the name borne in common by members of a family". That sure seems to indicate that a "surname" is a "family name."
From dictionary.cambridge.org: "the name that you share with other members of your family."
According to www.etymonline.com: "Meaning 'family name' is first found 1375."
No, that example is legitimate. See http://culture.163.com/06/0110/09/273JO40F00280003 .html. If you can't read Chinese, just look at the list in the article (after the first colon in the article), and look at the third character. That character is Chang/Zhang. Case Closed.
Actually, no. I do not believe incorrectly. Chang is indeed a surname. I am quite familiar with the order used in Chinese names; pleas check your facts before you attempt to correct someone else.
So, when Luo Guanzhong (U+7F85U+8CABU+4E2D) was writing The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he was mistaken in writing Zhang Fei's (
U+5F35U+98DB) name? And Zhang Fei misnamed his own son Zhang Bao (U+5F35U+5BF6)?
Note that in the above names, Chang/Zhang (U+5F35) is the first character in the name; so you can't blame this on some western-influenced re-ordering.

I find it hard to believe that the most common name in the world would be an English name (or were you assuming that the Internet only exists in the US). I believe that the most common surname in the world is "Chang" (or "Zhang" depending on how you transliterate the name), not "Smith". And, while I don't know for sure, I suspect that the most common given name would likely be a Chinese, Indian or Spanish name; certainly not "John".
If you know that the value is 33 1/3, do you really have to be a dork and write out all of those threes? Couldn't you just write "33 hr 20 min" or "33 1/3 hr"? (Or are you really concerned with nonillionths of a second?)
There is nothing different about this vulnerability than the last few. This is no different than pasting the icon for an mpeg file on top of an executable script.
This is simply the same vulnerability over and over again. The simple fix is to turn off the auto-open "feature" (which, IMHO shouldn't exist) of Safari, and to not go indiscriminately double clicking on things.
Except that the Universal (aka Fat) binaries on MacOSX are not related to the Fat binaries on the old MacOS, they are a direct descendant of Fat binaries on Next (Yes, I know, they're both called "Fat", confusing, isn't it?). Universal Binaries have been part of MacOSX since it's inception, and won't likely go away for a long time.
Just because they went to "another solar system" after leaving Earth doesn't mean that they stayed there. In the show, they're pretty explicit that it is interstellar.
The RIAA thinks they have a right here because they are making a case that web radio and satalite radio use buffers and there for copy the music, which real radio dosnt
Not so fast; I can claim that a regular radio "buffers" the music, a single sample at a time, in the wires between the amplifier and the speakers.:)
While, when reading a bottom-posted conversation, everything reads in the correct order, where the answer to a particular question appears directly after said question. (i.e. like a transcript of a real conversation):
They really are that easy. If your code is even remotely well written (i.e. doesn't rely on undefined behavior, doesn't make endian assumptions, etc.), it literally is as simple as "a check box and a few tweaks"... just like it was on Next.
You don't understand what Universal Binaries are. They are simply a renaming of the old Next "fat" binaries. That is, they contain *completely native* code for two or more platforms. This is completely separate from Rosetta, and has nothing to do with emulation in any form. Please get your facts straight.
Wow, I cannot believe that you are seriously trying to refute a post talking about "sprinkled magic CPU pixie dust" and how the PowerPC chip was actually Peter Pan.

Or, they're just using it in the older sense of the word; i.e. "Silly". As in: "That's gay!" == "That's silly!"

Bzzzt. 0.01m = 10 micrometers.
0.00000001m = 10 nanometers.
...slight difference

Umm, Next *was* BSD with a Mach microkernel. MacOSX is still more like NextStep than any other OS.

You obviously haven't played WoW on a slow CPU. WoW is *very* processor hungry.

I believe that the rationale is that when reading a long, top-posted conversation, everything is in a jumbled, psuedo-reverse order:
Answer 4> Answer 3
> Question 4
>>Answer 2
>>Question 3

>>>Question 2
>>>>Question 1
While, when reading a bottom-posted conversation, everything reads in the correct order, where the answer to a particular question appears directly after said question. (i.e. like a transcript of a real conversation):

Just to play Devil's advocate: Can you show me some court precedent that suggests that?
No, it was called the "PSOne"
Two words: Install LaunchBar
Then what about proxy servers? They "keep a copy" in the cache, and also "publish" it by retransmitting it to people using said proxy.

Use bugmenot. Add the following as a bookmark in your browser (all one line):
v iew.php?mode=bookmarklet&url='+escape(location),'B ugMeNot','location=no,status=yes,menubar=no,scroll bars=yes,resizable=yes,width=385,height=450'))
javascript:void(window.open('http://bugmenot.com/
Then, anytime you come to a site requiring registration, just click that bookmark, and, odds are, you'll get a ready made password to use.
