Does anyone know of a chemical to inhibit sperm production? I only ask because this method of birth control should have fewer religious oppositions. It has been argued by the Catholic Church that hormone pills for women are okay, so long as they do not act as abortifacents, and are used in the context of a marriage not fully prepared for a(nother) child, or in the strict case of medical need. I know this differs from place to place (bishops do not all think alike), but nothing I can conceive (ha ha) says that a male pill would be abhorant to the Church if used in the confines of a loving marriage. Anyone?
If I had come up with an item used in a series of movies, and that item's name became so popular that it became part of everyday speach, I would be happy as a clam. Sounds almost like this company is making a tribute, and light sabers as a jedi's weapon was to be used for good.
Does Lucas want to the name just in case they really make a light saber?
The government is so stupid. 19th most popular search on Gnutella was 'f--k' -- who wants to look for edited porn? The government is now going after people that trade 'f--k' files?
I can't wait until they say 's--t' on television. I mean, now that 'shit' is okay.
By the way, is that pronounced f-dash-dash-k, or f-double dash-k, or f-bar-bar-k,.... I mean, fuck!
Children in search of music on file-sharing programs are directed to pornographic files.
Children that go into Hastings for the latest Mad magazine walk by and see Hustler, Playboy, Oui and countless other magazines. And, when children are looking for a twix bar at the checkout counter of a grocery store they see the headlines on Cosmo and Red Book about how to drive men wild in bed, or what 7 positions are available that your mom didn't know.
Porn, at whatever level you want to call it porn, is available everywhere. As far as children being exposed to it...parents should be more involved in their kids' lives. My younger brother would always flip on some porn site when a new kid would come over, but minutes later they were off playing games or learning cool things from the Internet. And, aren't file sharing programs for music illegal anyway now?
Searches for "Christina Aguilera" and "Madonna" also produced extensive pornographic content.
First, Madonna is pornographic. Second, Christina Aguilera is kiddie porno. Finally, I did a search for 'Compaq Storage maximum number disks' on a search engine, and the first hit was a 404, the second was a 404, the third was a porn site.
Get a life! Congress needs to realize the Internet is global, and in Europe a lot of what we see as porn is normal television or beach viewage. In the Middle East, a lot of what we see as normal casual business wear for women is restricted pornography. We cannot please everyone, and we cannot restrict anyone.
Is there a paper he has written about this that can be posted? Some source? I mean, they cannot arrest everyone!
Places to post the code would be on Usenet, on chat sites, and in comments (like here). I have not heard of anyone from Def Con taking this up as an issue. I mean, cDc or 2600 ought to post his code or methods.
I definately agree about D&D helping with learning. No telling how many times I looked up the origins of the monster names in different mythologies. If I just had Google back then...
I had heard that for the 30th anniversary they were going to have James Cameron or John Carpenter (I can't recall) direct a remake with Arnold Swartzenagger as Taylor. What happened?
I look back at the time I spent on Zork...good night, I read all kinds of things to work out problems. Then, Wizardry...the mapping, the remembering spell names.
Now, all kids have to do is look up the cheat codes for God mode, and get after it with a BFG.
I guess this shows how bad Final Fantasy must be, I had not even noticed it was out yet.
I do not understand why the studios want to promote movies so far in advance... I mean, I just saw the Spiderman trailer. It will come out this time NEXT year. By the time Lord of the Rings comes, I doubt I will be pumped to see it.
I really don't think that Planet of the Apes will be that great. In the original you had the struggle against the religion of the apes that humans could not talk, were not chosen by the gods, and did not have a soul. Only to find out that in the end, a doll proved otherwise from an archeological dig. And, later, Taylor finds the hand from the Statue of Liberty.
I don't know what this one will bring, but doubt that it has the depth of the original.
2.4 is a fairly new system, and people have been warned about using it directly on the Internet in favor of 2.2 code. The identification and quick fixes to this problem show the Linux community's ability to identify, admit, and fix problems. Microsoft has trouble with all three of those things, and is forever updating an unending string of service packs to fix problems while creating new ones. No OS has ever claimed to be secure, especially when you are talking about insecure protocols and applications, but the evidence shows that Linux (and Unix in general) has the lead over Microsoft in security.
If you really want to talk security, you have to be willing to lose some features. A fully secure mail system will kick out many valid messages and isolate your network to the point of non-useability. If you have to use FTP, then you have to use ftp -- knowing full well that passwords and data are sent unencrypted.
There was a time when Patrick ran Slackware on the Alpha (couple of years back). I saw him at Comdex and asked when Slack was to be released for Alpha (we had Red Hat on one Alpha). He said that he ran Red Hat, he just Slacked it out. So, I asked about the release of slack.rpm.
Now, Slackware is finally coming out with platform ports just as everyone else is dumping support on other platforms. I don't get the logic.
You would be amazed at how many people didn't know the name Sun until they started their StarOffice buy and.COM marketing. Linux being used by a large company for a very niche program won't get as much play as a system being used by a huge retail chain for an application most businesses need.
I am more impressed with Sam Goody using Linux with Java cash registers than with the large supercomputer. I mean, Sam Goody using it will put Linux more in the public eye, and using a platform for which more Linux people will be developing. Not everyone has an IBM X-series server.

saying fuck too often would probably result in a population explosion. Oh, wait, too late!

I used to love Bandit paste when I was in elementary school!
