Idiot.
The best form of "censorship" for your kids is called SUPERVISION. Don't let your kid on the computer unless you KNOW what they are doing. Oh yeah, that's right, that would require effort. Do you REALLY want Microsoft being your kids' nanny? Really?

At least of these technologies are being used in New Zealand as I speak.
Pneumatic tubes are used in hospitals to move paperwork around, send samples to the lab and results back, etc. Lamson are still making pneumatic tube systems.
Wellington, our capital, still has electric trolley buses. Why they went that way instead of trams is beyond me but the fact remains that they exist.
And reel mowers -- we have a lawn that's two-foot-by-three-foot and it's not worth using a motor mower for a lawn that small. Yep, we have a reel mower, ladies and germs.
Just because you don't see these things in Merka any more, doesn't mean they don't exist.

And the reason you didn't submit the story yourself, since you've known about it for a long time, is.. ?
Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda isn't the only person allowed to submit stories, y'know.
Bearing in mind that there is no such thing as an "objective news source", merely those with which we tend to agree or not agree. I'm sure what you would find "objective" I would find oppressively right-wing and closed-minded.
If you don't like Katz stories then don't fucking read them. You have the power -- check the funny little box in your user info and you never have to see another Jon Katz story again.
The net *is* discriminatory because the majority of Internet movers, shakers and doers are male. How many women techs/hacks do you know today? Not many I'd assume.

Uh, I am one. And there are more of us out here than people think there are.

Unless actually specified as such (as in the original comment), most people would assume Julius Caesar. That having been said, you are correct -- it was Tiberius on the throne at the time.
Miche
PS Caesar means "a fine head of hair". Ironically enough, Julius was bald.

Um, not exactly. Joseph left to go back to his hometown, because that's what the gov't (read: Caesar)
required. And the census was really for tax purposes. IANABS (I AM Not A Biblical Scholar), though.

You're not a history scholar, either. Julius Caesar was not the leader of Rome at the time Jesus was thought to have been born.

Except mummies had usually had their internal organs, including the BRANE, removed and put in little jars. With no brane you're not much good for anything except the Board of Directors of the MPAA.
All these images already exist, as photos of the real events (in the case of the historic pictures). I'm concerned that people will start to think that these things didn't really happen if they see these images in the form of video game pictures without having seen the real thing.:(
What _I_ don't understand about Katz haters is why they don't just check the dinky little box that means they'll never have to see anything he posts ever again. Maybe they just like to have something to bitch about.
I _like_ the hockey puck, but then I have very small hands. I hope they make the new mouse in a left-handed version though. Right-handed ergonomic mice such as the one shown suck big-time for those who mouse left-handed.

Blakes Seven is on six nights a week here on one of the smaller stations. And Buck Rogers is on every Saturday night.

Yep, one small proto-geek in our household. Currently 2.5 years old; she's been using a computer since just before she turned 1.0.
