AFAIK, there are no guidlines. If it's your name, and you've registered it first, a company will at least have a hard time getting it of you without your consent. Once it is yours, you can do with it what you want.
>* put your ideas here! you've all been (or are, bored teenagers, what would you have liked?
I think I can safely say that no teenager who is 'into computers' is bored.... There's just mind-boggling numbers of things to do with computers, as most of the slashdot readers know.
Even with all modules, a linux kernel is still monolithic (Modules are loaded into kernel space). Microkernel means that all but a few messaging things are done in userspace. Nice idea, but not allways viable.
AAMOF, they have added features, like it can now blow up the movie to 2x2 (still no DGA!:-( ), and it's slightly more stable. (It used to segfault on a bunch of southparks I had lying around).

From/usr/src/linux/Documentation/Configure.help:
CONFIG_UMSDOS_FS Say Y here if you want to run Linux from within an existing DOS partition of your hard drive. The advantage of this is that you can get away without repartitioning your hard drive (which often implies backing everything up and restoring afterwards) and hence you're able to quickly try out Linux or show it to your friends; the disadvantage is that Linux becomes susceptible to DOS viruses and that UMSDOS is somewhat slower than ext2fs. Another use of UMSDOS is to write files with long unix filenames to MSDOS floppies; it also allows Unix-style softlinks and owner/permissions of files on MSDOS floppies. You will need a program called umssync in order to make use of umsdos; read Documentation/filesystems/umsdos.txt.
I suppose they're using this. So that's on top of FAT alright... Eewww....:)
I agree with most of you comment, except for the 'lock em up for good' part. Yes, sex with children to young to consent is wrong. But I'm sure there are plenty 'closet pedophiles' who are attracted to children, but see that it is not ethicly possible to do this. Punish the rape, don't punish a way of thinking.
>You would have to be a pretty disturbed 37 year old to want to fuck a 13 year old
So what? I thought the whole idea of freedom was that you're allowed to be 'disturbed' if you want to.
So if he thought it WAS a roleplaying game, he should go free imho.
And even if he new it wasn't there's still the question of whether a 13-year-old can't give consent... I don't think any 13-year-old would actually go into a father&daughtersex chatroom, and certainly not stay there and chat for 4 hours... But if they did, I think it's their choice. But that's an ethical discussion, not a legal one.
Didn't we already do this thread a while ago already? It began with "What? You have a visual editor? We had to use ed to change our text files!" and ended with "What? You had cellmembranes? We had to defend ourself against virii with our mitochondria!"
But what if I create a website that doesn't link to anything and isn't linked by anything? It'll be infinite links away from everything, thus raising the average to ifinite....

++and a thingy that tells me if the socket I'm feeling is a DB15, DB9, DB25, or PS2, DIN, or RJ11 or RJ14
+AND, which direction the socket is facing!
AND, if that's 90v, 180v, 220v, 240v or 330v you're feeling.
Actually, you can just give mac as a param for ifconfig.

What, einstein borg-esque? Oh, THAT icon. Yes, kind of.
I think this page puts us firmly into stage 3! :-)
Thanks MS, let's break out the tequila!
You know, here on earth we have something called humor. You should try it someday.
Yup, real neat:
This lemmon juice has gone stale 42 days ago.

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
It's clear by this move that MS already have :-)

Every rule has an exception. Ever tried basic? :-O
Well, with novels and symphonies you still have a finite number of moves.... Discriminating between good ones and bad ones is the problem here.

Not all dust is in orbit, wise-guy.

If it's the choice between that and emprisoning someone for life for what is in essence an opinion: Yes.

Yes, but CARCASSES? I mean, if they're already dead, you'd want to take em out of the heard anyway, right?
>How close is Star Trek?
About 35 minutes at warp 6. However, in emergency situations, we can go to warp 9.6 and get there within 30 seconds....
Good point. I stand corrected.
The big question is: Do the have rooms for rent? Now THAT would be a nice place to live :-)
