Actually belive it or not it becomes legal 4 years later when she becomes 18 as long as she doesn't object. Seriously, I have heard of many french movies with nudity in them of underage people that have become legal once the person reached a real age of 18. And I doupt we would treat Japan any different. Though I'm sure there is some age of cut-off, most likly anything pre-pubesent (spelling?) would never become legal in America even once the person becomes 18.
An interesting example of this, it is rumored that Columbia in RHPS is only 15:) makes you feel all dirty now doesn't it:) (btw if you can find a place to confirm this rumor please let me know:)
Not if you really think about it. I may be wrong but I bet if any major country wanted to, they could add.xxx to their domain structure, and everyone else in the world will probably accept it, and that they are the controllers of such domain. Is it really america's fault that they we the first ones to come up with.com.org.net and control the root domain to them? And it seems as if we are comming up with more, I don't see whats stopping other countries from doing the same.
Dude, our sun spits out millions of times more radioactivity in a second than this thing would in an entire trip. And I'm way underestimating here:) more like 1E12 times:)
A just spotted one of the most offtopic comments I've seen in a while, had to reply!:)
Umm they pay you a few cents and hour, if that and you have to be activly surfing. Lets break down the math.
Alladvantage, one of the most popular pays 20 cents an hour.
Max 720 hours in a month. A horribly addicted surfer may surf 12 hours a day = 360 hours
lets say you get paid 20 cents an hour that is 72 dollars a month for being on the web all of your waking hours for an entire month. BTW you can earn that amount of money giving plasma three times, which is much less painful than halving to deal with a supid ad bar on your screen constantly.
Average surfer is generally on the web activly surfing maay 5 hours a day = 30.00 seems like good money but I repeat having to have a stupid ad bar blocking a large amount of your screen all the time simply isn't worth it.
Not, nessesarly so, in the real world we design things for trichromats, and the dichromats have a hard time surfing our web. Luckly everything is currently designed for trichromats and the tetrachromats just get the oportunity of thinking that it looks that much better. Now imagine if something was designed by a tetrachromat that saw 2 colors as being diferent, and expected everyone else to see the same, but they didn't. You could easily have great confusion.
Yea shrugs, we go it on occasion, just a casual pasttime really. BTW that is actually a quote from someone one silicon spin one day, don't remember who and the actual quote ends in "and likes it that way," as opposed to "and likes it." I just couldn't fit that in the max space provided.
That really depends upon what your doing with it, if your running NT or 2000 and serving anything I would agree with you, if your running linux, its all a matter of what are you serving. Fast enough harddrive and network and you can serve web and filesharing with ease. Get into heavy database usage, then you might want to think about a third or fourth processor.
Just wanted to get public attention to an html feature that even the 3.0 browsers support that seems to be missing in mozilla.
If you have an server side image map in a frame and you want it to open the links in another frame you need a TARGET attribute in the a href line pointing to the server side map file. Well Mozilla completly ignores the TARGET attribute.

Yes, but the very idea of capital gains is very strange. One is taxed, based upon how much value you (or nature) can add to a product. Best example, I plant an acre of tree's, at first its worth the value of land and seeds. Later once it grows its worth a large value. So I must pay taxes on that increase of "capital" then later once I sell the lumber or land or whatever, I must once again pay income tax on what I sell. So how does this make sense and how is this fair? In the graduated sense of taxation it may be considered fair, but it seems senseless to complain about it being at a low tax rate. (Note, there are some loopholes to paying income tax as claiming it as capital gains, which is a problem but could be closed, and definatly should if capital gain taxes are ever removed)
While its a very specialized job that takes very specilized equipment, there are ways to look at the individual magnetic sections, and tell what the charge used to be, then tell what that bit was before that, and before that, suppositivly we can go back as far as 7 changes, before its completly lost.
Actually if you read the article it is completly different than how it is reported by the slashdot headline. The admendment is not to limit the rights of hispanic immigrants but to give limited rights to illigal hispanics who are already here.
Taxation: "we should tax things we don't like." WHO DECIDES the "things we don't like"? Government, that's who!
Actually, if you've ever studied macro economics, you would learn that taxing the things that are harmful to others (aka pollution) is a basic role of government if capitolisim is supposed to work. Basically the explination is that in a market, for every good you reseave from a supplier you obviously pay said supplier, but for there to be proper balance the supplier should pay you for every bad it forces down your throat without asking, aka pollution. As there is no way for the individuals to collect from the suppliers for many of these things. The government has a role to act as a middle man, and collect such fee's for the people.
While I agree with you that it shouldn't be copywrite infringment, let me explain to you why it is. While it was of no cost to you, and you paid MP3 no money, and you could only use your own cd's. From the MP3.com side, they were making a profit (from advertising) from other peoples music that they wern't given any rights to. Kinda for the same reason I can't hold a party in which is sponsors where I make money and play a bunch of music foreveryone, even if I check to see if they bought the cd's themselves. Anyways, I digress, btw the reason its different from radio is that radio stations pay cd labels money for the rights to play the records. Its not a huge sum (nowhere close to $118M) but still pretty large.
Maybe they should see if they could pay in stock options! that way Universal would atleast to be forced to take a look at MP3.com's buisness model, something they have obviously not done yet:)
Umm... Dude the US already has such a tax, so obviously the Supremes didn't have a problem with it. Its a small tax yes, but a few cents of every cd-r and a few dollars of every cd burner goes to RCAA, seriously. And non RCAA labels get none of it.
$1M doesn't mean anything to microsoft, but it probably means a whole lot, and the ability to stay in buisness for Bristo, and that is whats important.
Dude, you didn't even read the article did you?
Helix Gnome includes an update program much like that in Windows, and does it in a way that encourages its users to check for updates regularly. This process gives the Helix Code Inc. an opportunity each and every time to try and sell the user something. An example given was to have an offer for a program that would tell you when (insert your favorite actor/band/etc) was in town, and add it to your schedule so you know. Such a service some fanatics would easily pay $5 a month for the announcements, while the software of course would still be free.
Just like Metallica should be able to decide what songs of theirs radio stations play, and what image they portray, they should be able to self-determine how they want to interact with their fans. So you don't believe that radio stations should have the right to play any Metallica music they decide to purchase?? I've hear record companies make that argument too, but personally it just doesn't make sense, can you explain to me what in copywrite law allows such limits.
Accually your more right than you know. As quantum computers solve problems, they can only produce answers that they are some order of mangitude (lets say 95%) confident in the solution. So statistically it should give you the correct answer 95% of the time, the other times the answer will be completly wrong. But thats where traditional computing has its place, as it takes almost no time for a regular processor to check the answer of the quantum processor, and tell it to try again.
Oh btw on a side note, and this one is to the Ask Slashdot question, I tried running a VPN (s/wan) on it a few months ago... EKK.. it was terribly slow:( Currently in the process of setting up ssl for testing:)
Sorry had to one up again!:) I've got a 486/100 with 32MB memory and a 20GB HD (yes alot of computer but wait there is more).
But its acting as a Nat/firewall/SMB server for 25 clients pulling template,timesheet,and reports documents from it/Database hosting (ok its just hosting a database file that's accessed by said previous clients through microsoft access, havn't learned SQL yet/ and working on getting it to do peridoic backups through samba from the clients, to a CD-RW:) (but hopefully will have new server before I have the database solution finished)
