Remember, Palm devices are the only devices that can use anything like graffi, why? beacuse palm (before they were purchaced by USRobotics) patented the method.
If Palm patented somthing that someone else patented first then I don't think they really deserve it...

Porn is mentally and spiritually harmful because it creates erotic thoughts about another person that is not your spouse.
I asked how porn was harmfull to children. Most kids I know arn't married.
Anyway, your point seems to be that casual sex itself is bad, and that pornography promotes casual sex. Your point may be right or wrong, but that's not the issue.
What I wan't to know is: Why is pornography harmfull to children in a way that it is not harmfull to adults?
(Yes, you could say that kids are more 'impressionable' but then, that wouldn't make it any worse then other non-spiritually uplifting messages. That would pretty much be the entire internet then, including a lot of my posts to slashdot)

McCain is a flake who isn't well liked by his fellow senators on either side of the isle, or by most Republicans, only by the media who have been over-hyping his chances.
Well of course they don't like him McCain is wants to make it more difficult for them to whore themselves (and the national government as a whole) to corporations and other special interests. His number #1 position is Campaign Finance Reform, and in my opinion something very much needed. If you happen to be a mindless sheep of the Republican Party then I can see why you wouldn't like him. Just like democratic sheep like Gore instead of Bradly.
"Suble Mind control? why do html buttons say submit?",
That's pretty naive, for somebody that claims to have kids of his own.
Most parents believe that their kids can do no wrong. And I seriously doubt that your kids would be able to get their hands on the materials needed to build a pipe bomb. If they did, they did they probably wouldn't need any instructions.
Me and friends in Texas (when I visited my dad) would go around making grenades out of M60's -- very small bombs, sold at fireworks stores -- and legos. It's not that hard.
As far as unpopular political opinion, just teach your kids what's wrong and what's right. If you tell them enough times, they won't be swayed by BS websites. Filtering the pages and never mentioning it isn't going to do much good.
As far as porn goes? Come on, we all looked at porn when we were kids. The only thing it teaches them is that sex is fun, witch they will figure out eventually...
"Suble Mind control? why do html buttons say submit?",
You wouldn't let your kid wander around a city, red light districts and all
That's beacuse theres acutal physical danger in letting a kid do that. The only danger on the internet is pop-up adds and spam. And I'm sure my kid would be just as annoyed as I would be but still...

. I send my kids to the library because I know the printed material isn't going to have smut in it.
Really? then you must be pretty stupid. Our library had Madonna's SEX book on the shelves (well not really on the shelves, there were about 92 people qued up to checkout the book. and a checkout period is 2 weeks...)
I'm sure your library has some "objectionable" material there, at least if there doing there job.
"Suble Mind control? why do html buttons say submit?",
But there are no open-source censor-proxys are there? How can you demand politions use somthing that dosn't exsist?
I agree that while an OSS, fully configureable censorware system would be good, none currently exsist. (that I know of). Why don't you write one, and then come back to the discussion.

Hrm... If I loved my kids, why would I want to spend way more money then I'd need (thereby taking away from other things I could buy them), on a computer that isn't even capable of running quake3? Kids love video games.
I mean really iMacs cost way more then there worth, an equvialent PC would cost about $300 (PPC twice as fast as x86? fine stick in a 600mhz oc'd celeron CPU)

. I do not want my kids (when I have them) to be able to view porn whenever they feel like it
Why not? I'm sure you looked at porn when you were a kid, as every (lucky) kid has. The only thing the internet really does to kids is takes the 'adventure' out of trying to get there hands on porn.
Yes children are impressionable, but what does porn teach them? That sex is fun? Since when has that not been true? Porn doesn't try to "impress" any ideas at all (although A lot of the porn mags I read when I was a kid were very pro free-speech). I mean unless you really want you child to grow up as a Homosexual, or being ashamed of their bodies, porn isn't going to hurt them.
I agree about the Spam, and also about the search engines, however. At this point it isn't even an issue of decency, it's an issue of annoyance. But, Spam is on its way to becoming illegal (if not so already), and the search engine issue is something that the search engines should handle themselves (perhaps an 'exclude pornographic information' checkbox on the main page, how hard could it be? Just include a hidden -sex -pussy in the search string)

Aren't libraries part of the huge corporation we call "government."
No, city governments, not the fed, run Libraries. Corporations can limit what you do at work to a great degree, and if you don't like it you can quit. The same thing is not true of the government. They aren't paying us, in fact were paying them. Could your company set down mandatory guidelines about what there customers can do (not relating to there products)? I doubt it, and if they did they wouldn't have very many customers.
But the government has a monopoly on government; It would be very hard for us to physically leave the country. This government is supposed to do what we want it to, not the other way around.

saw the Libertarian's VP on politically incorrect a while back. While she wasn't a "politician as usual" she was completely insane, I mean she was sure that Vince Foster had been murdered, etc. The biggest conspiracy nutcase I've ever seen.
To top it off, I believe that while libertarian ideals my sound good, there implementation would cause serious harm to the country. Lazes-Fair (sp?) capitalism has never worked, and I don't see why it would now.
So, I guess were fucked. On the other hand, Bill Bradley might be good, and McCain is only advocating censorship in libraries, not on the entire Internet.

Unless you want to spend thousands or millions of years doing it.
Remember d.net is trying to crack "weak" encryption, and they've been trying to crack rc5-64 for over three years or somthing.
New encryption products are probably going to be using harder encryption (I would assume), but the list would need to be de-crypted in order to be used at somepoint. (Or, could they work like UNIX passwords, encrypting the new URLS and then comparing them to the encrypted ones in the list?)
Anyway, the best way would be for someone to trace the program and find out how the list is decrypted (And I don't think that task can be parralleized, or even done by a computer)

I think I read somewhere that current "hot-fusion" technology generates tempratures much hotter then the core of the sun. something like 10 million degrees or so.
Hot fusions's pretty cool, and it will be a reality, someday. Unfortunetly, I don't think you'll be able to do things like put a hot-fusion reactor in your car or anything:P (actualy, you probably wouldn't be able to do that with a cold fusion reactor ether, since the mettals used are so exspensive)
