Also I was not suggesting that these people has any kind of brain damage in the terms that brain damage is medically, but their is obviosily something wrong if only a small number of people like this.
And I was saying that liking something that most people don't like, does not mean that it's "wrong".
I dont think you could compear posting on slashdot and looking at CP, they are completly different things. I think that if a small number of people like this then it is an abnormality and so I belive their is something wrong with their brains.
And I was saying that, likewise, if only a small number of people like posting to slashdot, then it is an abnormality. It doesn't follow that there is anything wrong with their brains.
Thats just my personal opionion, but there is hardly any studies in these kind of people are they are a mistury to psychologist as so many different kind of people like it from teenagers to old men, to women, there is no set person. Its just my belief untill someone comes up with more conclusive evidence.
What you are getting at is that people's sexual attractions are inherent in them and cannot be changed at will. Some people who are sexually attracted to minors (exclusively or not) look at illegal pornography. People's sexual orientations cannot easily and conclusively be changed. It follows them all their lives ("from teenagers to old men", as you said). That does not mean that any given orientation is a brain malfunction; any such explanation is rooted purely in sociocultural value and belief systems, and not in clinical, scientific models.
So what's your point? The vast majority of people wouldn't do a lot of things. For example, only very few people would post to slashdot, and all the rest would consider it completely uninteresting or even a waste of time, so posting to slashdot is a very abnormal thing to do. This doesn't in any way suggest that there is anything wrong in slashdot posters' brains, so making that leap does not follow by any logic.
What you're talking about is statistical abnormality. Being statistically outside of a norm has nothing at all to do with brain damage.
I mean, for the majority of us, if we look at a young girl, we are not attracted to them at all, its just one of those things...your just not at all. So if someone is, then surly their is something wrong with them. The majority of us are not, so if their is a small number who are, then I guess there must be something wrong with them.
Yes, to look at one of those scadly-clothed fifteen-year-old girls walking around looking like supermodels these days, you would have to be completely deranged. Almost nobody find those attractive. For almost all people, it's like looking at a brick wall.
If any of us who are not like this come across a link for CP then we don't click on it do we...as we know what we will see the other side.
Yes, we know very well what's there (even if we have never seen anything like it before), and we are not the slightest bit curious either. That would be sick.
Also if looking at CP makes people molesters, then what about people who do it without ever looking at CP. Think back to Shakespeare times, girls used to marry and such like at very young ages.
Back then it was just sexual relations, not molestation. We have to take serious the fact that children today are infinitely more fragile and victimisable.
That's the point -- you can do something. You can travel to Niger and apply a number of approaches to protect the children there and/or bring the abusers to justice, spread awareness among the locals, build up whatever attitudes you find lacking, and so on. It is your own choice not to do this.
Only applets are sandboxed. Client and server applications have full access to the system (as allowed by the APIs and OS).
Applets and JWS only build atop the Java language and platform. Their existance doesn't mean that Java was designed specifically for one thing or another.
In contrast, Java was not designed to do server-side code, and is making less sense in that application as platforms that offer better time-to-market for server-side development become accepted.
Java wasn't "designed" for anything specific; it was designed as a general-purpose language and platform. It fits very well in the large server-side application domain, and is being used there more and more. Not sure where you get your impressions.
Sixteen is not a universal age of consent. There are places that set that age higher, and places where it's lower. In either case it has nothing to do with the appropriativeness of watching porn.
That's true in theory, but in practice Jimmy Wales has the final say in any matter, and can make or break policy as he wishes. This happens increasingly as he tries to avoid more bad publicity for Wikipedia, and it's not always popular, but it's his web site empire to do with as he pleases. In addition there is the (much more democratic) Arbitration Committee, which is a kind of "supreme court" for resolving any stuck disputes by interpreting policy.
No no no. FeedTree is about cooperatively distributing RSS files. Your Torrent doesn't distribute RSS files, it reads them, thus putting strain on the server hosting those files. This is what FeedTree is meant to solve.
It is unfortunate that most people think "peer-to-peer" and "file sharing" are synonymous. They're not. Peer-to-peer has many, many users outside of file sharing/distribution.
I think the episode was carefully crafted to be "good enough" for a final episode, but also appeal to both fans and Fox that cancelling the show would be immature. Witness the last line of the last episode: "Please don't stop playing, Fry. I wanna hear how it ends."
There are many, many more stories screaming to be told about the Futurama universe. Fox were fools to stop playing. We wanna hear how it ends!
If flash is opensourced and becomes THE most popular thing ever, KDE will probably RUN on actionscript! Is this the kind of desktop that you want to be using? Maybe you, but not me.
No, I don't want to run a desktop environment implemented in Actionscript. Now, can we get back to the topic?
For the record, there is absolutely no proof that Hitler or his men were behind the Reichstag fire. It's about as likely as the conspiracy theories that the Bush administration was behind the 9/11 attacks. Just because both events were "convenient" and certainly had an "enabling" effect, doesn't mean they weren't performed by mad arsonists or terrorists.
Slashdot Mirror
If it has been patented, you do need rights to implement and use it.

Freenet 0.7 runs on GNU Classpath and free JVMs.
Nothing. Because I can do nothing.

As far as child pornography and mitigating circumstances, exposure to child pornography does lead people to be more likely to molest children.
Any studies demonstrating that? Remember, correlation is not causality.

You know, that dance wasn't as safe as they said it was.
"Apple's decision to /open-source/ WebKit was quite controversal."
Abiding by software licenses is "controversal" now? KHTML is LGPL so it's not like they had much choice.
This is wrong. Opera is coded in C++.
There is no KDE 4.0 release.
Try 3.5. Renders perfectly.
I guess none of them know how to use TOR.
Wikipedia blocks all Tor exits. You can't even edit through Tor if you log in.

"Why do all slashdot headlines seem to assume that every person who uses a computer out there is a techie?"
If you think that's the case, perhaps you aren't in Slashdot's target demographics?

No, I don't want to run a desktop environment implemented in Actionscript. Now, can we get back to the topic?
Sir, I think you mean vlogs or vodcasts.
Olde Fortran.
