    Okay, you menctin the FBI's Carnivore system. This topic hit the "media" and now everyone is quoting it as "violating fourth ammendment rights" blah blah

    Why did we not here of this sooner? When was this put into place? How long did it take to make this public?

    Why ask these questions? The anser is this...

    With todays technology, a little time to do something we consider wrong may already serve its purpose by the time the "media" breaks the news. These things will be done, serve there purpose, and then it won't make a difference in some cases.

    The question is, how do we prevent such thing from happenning?

    This is correct. It is okay to eat some foods from a grocery store. Would the video of how the made the food, or killed animals for the meat, not be censored?

    It is called reality. Do you need to be 18 to see how your food is produced?

    Now, if we killed and ate humans, that would be different. The relationship is not there if you think about it. True, not true. Make your own decision, don't let the government.

    Contradiction? What about the increase in school shootings? If you see a particular thing that is violent, yet cannot get that particular thing, can you reproduce that violence. I am talking about guns. If kids don't have guns, can they really shoot people in the knee caps?

    I could find out how to make a bomb, and probably find what I need to make one. Does this mean that you shouldn't have that information out there on the internet. Or should it be not be available for those under the age of 18, because only those people would do such a thing? Who was the last terrorist under the age of 18 that blew up a building?

    Send me a link, it probably did happen. Another contradiction?

    What the point? Government should make laws for the views and opinions of it citizens. If a majority of a governments citizens feel something should be illegal, or classified for a certain age group, then it will be a law. If the government does so without the majority of the citizens, then they should speak up. Otherwise, you are minority and don't have the same views as the majority of your country!

    American football? Well, it is soccer if you live in South "America"! Only the US uses the term American for anything they use.

    Who cares? Well, if everyone said they were using "Windows" when referring to their computer GUI, even though it was GNOME, how many people here would be irate?

    Will it make a difference?

    If a kid wants to play the game, he will be able to. Maybe his parents won't buy it for him because of the age limit, and he won't be able to buy it himself. A kid today can buy a gun if he really wants to! No big deal.

    Yes, you can live in a state in the US, in a big city, and say "There is a lot of crime in this state!"

    Then again, you can live in the country or mountains in that same state, and say "It is quiet with no crime here!"

    Yes, if more companies did this, then the government would be overwelmed with such cases. Can't a person use a different username, and ISP if they need to?

    Does anybody else see a similarity to the government "not up to speed" with technology and the issues that we now face in this "technology age"?

    Yes, I agree. Make it XMl for future web based GUI's, and a standard that other applications can use.

    Sometimes it is good to hear suggestions from non-regular Linux users because they can tell you what they don't understand, or what might be better. A different perspective is always a good thing, even if it doesn't help, becuase it makes you look at a solution from that different perspective.

    With everything being open source, why not make he config files more so?
