The first movie was pretty convoluted. What was up with Kaneda turning into that blob. The remake will probably fill in all of the plot holes. Japanese people are weird.
I'll run on the below definitions: (Maturity: the quality or state of being mature; especially : full development. Mature : having completed natural growth and development )
Condescention is a common sign of immaturity. Disrespect is a common sign of immaturity.
The keys to your own brand of morality mainly come from experiences, culture, and upbringing.
Right from wrong is probably not some end etheral goal for all people, rather it is more likely subjective in nature. For instance, what the western world would consider murder was wholly dignified retribution in Feudal Japan. What the Politically Correct/Commercial American culture finds to be the ultimate good (money) is the medium for suffering (Buddhism).
The Never's really don't work here as your 'rules' for life break down as soon as someone else disobeys them.
My original point was humbly enough, children need direction and since we dont' live in a communal society where children are the sons and daughters of the whole, and rather we live in a very fractional and introverted culture, then it is the case that a growing childs main source of guidance probably come from their parents.
I agree that the guy in the story was a fool and wasn't really what i was talking about.
yes it is his parents fault. A parent can and DOES affect their childrens lives profoundly. When you have kids they should be the #1 priority, not a second job or a new SUV. Kids are bad because the parents gave up too much ground to them. Parents have to learn to say know and have to take an active role in their children's lives.
If the kid is stockpiling weapons in their bedroom and the parents don't know about it, they're bad parents. If the kid is sitting in front of a computer for 12 hours a day (in this case it was not a child, but a very disturbed young man) then it is THEIR responsibility to get their kid off. Not for the good of society necessarily, but for the good of their children.
"The Pandaren Empire, founded in ancient times, before the Great Sundering of the world, shared resources and mystic knowledge with the haughty night elves of central Kalimdor. However, as the night elves' racial obsession with the forces of magic drove them to the brink of madness, the gentle pandaren decided to sever their ties and leave the night elves behind forever. Sensing that magic would be the doom of any race that trifled with it, the pandaren clans, or shao'dins, traveled far into the treacherous lands of the south. There the pandaren established crude but beautiful cities of stone and sturdy bambus reed. They lived in peace for many generations before the burning shadow came to engulf the world..."
This makes me madder than having a big fricking ad for IBM on the slashdot stories. I hate disney, and Rupert Murdoch. Blast them all! Next thing you know the police will be wearing mickey mouse ears and busting into teenagers bedrooms charging them with intellectual property theft. Ok maybe not.

Do i really need to buy the game now? I have the beta...sure it's a little rough around the edges, but its fun. I have the server software and packages. mmm, I have cake and i'm eating it.
It saddens me that blizzard is pulling this. WC3 is warcraft, with a more starcraft-esque interface and Diablo elements. It took them 4 years to put pre-existing ideas into a game and they led everyone along like children to the pied piper. Now they're surprised when their beta is leaked, cracked and assimilated by a legion of hungry gamers? Please...
Just a quick note. Fox is actually a part of another evil empire called New Corp. Included in Rupert Murdoch's brainchild is Fox, Sky(big british/new zealander/australian satelite network btw. I think there's some minor US variation but I haven't seen much of it.), webmd, new york post and a ton of tabloids and newspapers in the US, UK, and also Australia and New Zealand.
To be honest when all of the News corporations congeal into one entity, my money is on the name "Ministry of Truth."

On topic:
Its only really a matter of time before this warez-kidd13 network was busted wide open. No matter how stupid intellectual property laws are or how over-priced these lines of code are, they are still valued as such and the Fed has the obligation to punish the perpitrators.
I wouldn't worry too much about warez groups suddenly becoming the newest cyber-victims, since joe-jackass-average typically doesn't know what warez is and probably doesn't get their news beyond the MSNBC propaganda.
What is a threat here is that warez kiddies will be lumped into the ever greater 'hacker/cyberterrorist' groupings. Who knows, maybe the next time you crack winzip or nab a copy of photoshop 6 you'll be tried as a terrorist in a military tribunal (dripping with exaggeration, with a hint of truth).
How do you expect me to rail with pinpoint accuracy when i'm out of breath? Seriously I have a feeling this won't take off. Could be cool for bicycle simulators...I guess.
The most recent Issue of 2600 has a pretty good article on the MediaCloQ technology that 'protects' the Charley Pride CD.
Here's an interesting excerpt from the article (note that most of this article is describing how to get CDParanoia to rip the disks anyway).
"MediaCloQ supposedly 'protects' audio CDs in two ways: 1) Deliberate errors are introduced into teh audio datastream so taht ripping programs indroduce pops and clicks into the ripped data.[...] 2) Tracks are amrekd as data tracks so that the computer wont' recognize them as audio.[...]"
Just FYI.
What the article (among many) just doesn't get....

I see in the article on "Linux goes to the movies" that the author doesn't really understand the mentailty behind a good portion of the Open Source community.
It's simply not the case that the driving force behind Linux are a couple of companies (Redhat and VA software), rather it is the case the the driving force behind it are thousands upon thousands of people doing their own little (or big) projects in an attempt to add their piece of what they think Linux needs.
"Over the past year, the information technology elite have started to dismiss Linux as a flash in the pan that tried and failed to dominate in a world owned by Windows. Woebegone Linux and open-source companies are scattered across the landscape like so much shrapnel. The stock prices of IPO high fliers VA Linux and Red Hat currently trade near half of their pre-IPO offering prices. Meanwhile, Windows XP gets the press and the plaudits."
Now don't get me wrong, I understand he's just a lowly journalist, but who are the 'Information technology elite'? Bill Gates? Larry Ellison? The managers posing as technical people you see on the news? Technical stock analysts? Furthermore, Windows XP's "press and plaudits" are just a glorified sales pitch. It's big news simply becuase M$ payed for it through their asses. Ah well, it's not like the media is anything even close to objective anyway.
Sorry their site is/.ed and i have a quick question. Isn't it possible to just run both? Perhaps not at the same time, but just drop X down to play a game?
I thought milnet severed ties from ARPAnet years ago. Is "I watched hundreds of Navy-based web servers fall to bits during those events, even to the point where entire military networks had to block port 80 requests to stem the tide." and indication that perhaps there are still some left?
I have a sneaking suspicion this article is going to have quite a few posts under it.
It looks like this may be the time push Linux earnestly in business, starting by outlining what the collective Microsoft hubris has brought about. Report what linux lacks and perhaps some clever individuals will form companies to resolve these issues. I've been a major proponent for moving to open source at my company for years, and things like this, which hit the bank balance hard, will get the bosses attention.
hahaha. We all did, we all did.
I thought Enterprise was alright...If they continue to use the 'medicinal gel' in that cold room they may have a loyal viewer.
I saw a letter about this in the most recent (summer 2001, p. 52) issue of 2600. It is as follows...
"Dear 2600:
I was going to send you an e-mail two weeks ago stating that we should channel many of our frustrations with the U.S. justice system toward our adversaries, i.e., China. All of us in the U.S. hacker community are still U.S. citizens. Let us not completely denounce our country. We can utilize our special skills in a constructive manner that is conducive to U.S. information warfare policy. Later, we may use this as legal leverage for future legislation.

As one of many such messages we got from the Navy, let us remind you that hackers are not soldiers and are far too individualistic and free-thinking to buy into jingoistic nonsense, regardless of the source. You should seriously consider the effects of reducing hackers to the equivalent of some kind of weapon. It will only increase paranoia and fear. And we find it extremely telling that the authorities, the media, and apparantly a whole lof of people in the military feel it's OK to vandalize sites if it's done for nationalistic purposes."
(As an aside, there's an interesting picture of an Ewok holding a rifle behind the article)
It would seem quite hypocritical for us (typical/. posters), who are so against Big Brother poking his nose into our business to turn right back around and do EXACTLY the same thing to other members of the US public. I seriously doubt "fighting terrorism" involves busting into a secret (insert arabic country here) computer and taking vital military plans. Rather, it will involve spying on your neighbors and seeking internal 'threats,' probably in ways which violate the 4th amendment to the constitution.
