  1. Re:Malaysia is Muslim on Journalist Arrested For Tweet Deported to Saudi Arabia · · Score: 0

    I don't need to. I merely need to point out that a muslim could just as easily use the same argument that blasphemy hurts kids. Then I would go sit in the other room while you argue with the muslim guy over which is worse, blasphemy, or child porn. Remember that in a lot of countries, kids actually do run around naked. My point isn't that we should legalize child pornography. My point is, people who condemn others for their moral system, tend to not have a very well thought-out base for their own moral system. And that definitely includes you.

    Yours doesn't sound like a moral system... It sounds like "I'll do what I want and instead of saying directly I have no morals I'll twist everything around to make everything I do sound ethical". PLEASE, do tell me am I speaking ethics here? I am not. I am speaking whether a certain course of action hurts/exploits(because I'm sure you'll say hurt !=exploit) children or not.
    A muslim might use the argument that blasphemy hurts kids but that doesn't change the fact that it doesn't.
    A pedophile might use the argument that raping kids to make money from porn doesn't hurt/exploit them but that doesn't change the fact that it does.

    You are not giving any counter-argument to my understanding of why legalizing child pornography would hurt a lot of children.

    I didn't have any ethics in mind. What I had in mind is a poor, insecure 8 year old being told by his/her alcoholic parents that the only way to make do is to is to follow that "gentleman" and do as he says, and look happy or else "we'll all end in the street and die".

    I'm trying to say that kids are too young to know what's good for them. If child pornography gets legalized a whole new world of exploiting kids to make money may be opened for the low lives, and that is not good for our children at all, especially the ones who already haven't had the best of luck so far.

    So yeah, the world should legalize child pornography for everyone's shale. This will open a whole new world of goodness and opportunities, especially for the poor people's children. They will no longer be taught how to beg and send to do so, but rather how to accept rape with a smile, so that their family will have a chance at a better future, even though its more likely that they will spend the money buying Whisky, and making their child/children's life/lives even more ideal.

    Enlightened? Long Sighted? Being more enlightened and long sighted from USA doesn't necessarily mean being much of either. And besides why should those indebted economies spend much money on space programs now, when they can just copy any noteworthy progress USA makes later?

    Yeah but Ghostery, if cookie blocking is on it tends to only block the tracking cookies, just like if its Web bug blocking is on it only blocks all the scripts like Google Adsense and DoubleClick.

  12. Re:It's called NoScript on Google Offering Cash For Your Cache · · Score: 1

    NoScript is far too invasive; better use AdBlock and Ghostery with web bug blocking on, and perhaps even cookie blocking on (and add sites like slashdot to the exceptions of cookie blocking)
    As for the flash cookies use something like BetterPrivacy to clean them all every few hours or every time the browser starts/closes.

    It's probably because of the strict adherence to christianity that even uneducated modern greeks can understand 4th century greek with ease. Churches still read the bible as it was originally written/translated in greek, and many priests and monks use as many ancient idioms as possible.

    XP support has already ended. It will just be receiving security updates until 2014 from Microsoft.
    But with so many third-party security software makers (like Mcafee, Norton and Sophos) that have been working on making XP secure for practically a lifetime, I think XP will continue to remain secure at the price of an Internet Security Suite for a LONG time.

    Not necessarily as Windows 8 will be available for ARM as well.

    A more likely scenario is a MacBook Air based upon iOS with a built-in touchscreen.

    I hope they are doing it in order to be ready just in case ARM becomes the dominant PC CPU architecture because of Windows 8 supporting ARM. Or, that they're doing it in order to start experimenting merging iOS with Mac OS X further on some weird kind of new device.
