Actually, only one was animated for that episode. HOWEVER, another 10 or so were made for one of the episodes "hosted" by Troy McClure (where even Santa's Little Helper shoots Mr. Burns).
Pa: "You havn't been going to any of that gay porno on that internet, have ya'?"
John-Boy: "No Pa, I'm only visiting Slashdot."
Pa: "Slashdot? That sounds like gay porno to me"
John-Boy: "No, see pa? Its a place where people have (semi-)intelligent discussions relating to technology, the news, and the law, and how it affects all of us in today's times."
Pa: "Hm...well, I guess that's not so bad. What's that there link that some pussy coward put?"
John-Boy: "Er...that's nothing."
Pa: "Click it!"
John-Boy: "No!"
Pa: "I knew it, this is just another gay porno site!!!"
John-Boy: "No pa! It's not! I swear!"
*Pa takes the mouse and discovers what "goatse" means, and John-boy is whipped for the rest his life*
Er....what was the point of this again? Oh yeah, just ask the freaking kids. Other than that, leave them alone, and let them discover the good and the bad the way the rest of us did. Those of us who held a firecracker in our hands as it blew never did it again, and any boy who ends up in a private chat with "SeXyOlDgUy69" deserves what he's going to get. I guarantee he'll never do it again.:p
Are the environmental hazards of disposing an obsolete electronic device (such as a laptop, a palm, or an ebook) equal to, or greater to that of the loss of a few dozens of trees to produce the paperback books?
I'm all for doing most things to help the environment, but with computers filling up landfills at record numbers, along with the toxic chemicals that they and their monitors contain, it makes me wonder if the ebook is really an environmental solution, since that would just cause consumers to purchase more electronic devices to use them on. Which ALSO implies that they'll junk the product in about 4 or 5 years for a "better" model.
They started doing this with The Patriot, and it worked on a good number of systems. Oh well, I still have my region 3 CTHD dvd from a few months ago, so why should I care.:D
Tell them that computers are a means of violent destruction and death. Tell them that computers can help them keep track of where their stash of black tar heroin is going each week. Tell them that they can Klan's page with a Spike Lee one with only a little bit of time and effort. (Ok, ok, enough about the inner-city kid stereotype).:p
Seriously though, it depends on how much prior knowledge these kids have. And assuming they all have little or none, you'll have to start with the basics.
You: This is a mouse...
Class: Ah....
BUT, since people seem to stick with what they learned first, if you're anti MS or something, start them on another OS. You can literally mold how these people think about computers for the rest of their lives, in that short amount of time.
Anyways, good luck, since teaching computer-related stuff to ANYONE is tough enough.:)
For those of you (all eight of you goatse-obsessed kids) who havn't seen ANYTHING about LOTR yet, or have no interest to, these links might help you get an idea (plaintext links [too late for html:p]).
Think of how many AOL-ers are out there. And guess what? I'm sure 95%+ of them still have their default home page as AOL.com. Same for newbies using IE, visiting Microsoft's site. Or someone who happened to download a program from Yahoo that changes your starting page (with or without your knowledge/confirmation). Napster? Well, if you count some college kid queueing up 200 songs while he's at class as spending HOURS a day on Napster, then that's just as wrong.
I'm sure these portals get plenty of traffic, but if every AOL browser decided to point to goatse, I'm sure the media would be reporting that America is suddenly fascinated with people ripping open their asses.
Wait a second. You can show a woman topless on Japanese TV, and you can even show them getting bukkake-fied (for lack of a better term) as long as the male genetalia is censored. But they covered up their faces? Wow...talk about censorship. You sure this isn't China?:p
So what? All that means is that some people get crap earlier than others. Ooh...I'm watching the season finale of Jackass hours ahead of time...look at me...I'm so special. My brain is now decomposing hours ahead of the rest of the populations'...
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm about to watch the results of the 2004 election...
Hey, well, SPAM DOES work. I should know. Some guy ofered me $10,000 a month to work out of my home! As soon as I hear from him, and I recieve my "special instructions" (which the $25 is well worth), I'll be rolling in the dough...
First, they talk about making blue pixels (pickles) green in Schindler's List, which we all know is a Black & White movie (except for the girl's red coat).
BUT...I can't believe that nobody has pointed out the fact that Schindler's List hasn't even been released on dvd yet (officially, in region 1, to the best of my knowledge; and if so, its been out of print for a while! Check Amazon (plain-text link):
"NOT YET RELEASED: The studio is currently not producing this title on DVD, but to be notified when it is available, enter your e-mail address at right. You'll also be voting for this release; we'll let the studio know how many customers are waiting for this title."
You forgot about the girl in the red coat, and the (apparently) blue pickle that they want changed to green (I guess I was taking a piss during that scene).
Yeah, but they're also making the assumption that once something is on "THE INTERNET", it is available free of charge, with no effort, as fast as turning on a light.
They seem to make this "INTERNET" that they speak of to be some omnipotent god-like piece of pure power. Funny, all I seem to find is porn.
Wait, so the pickles would have to be blue to be turned from blue to green, right? Has anyone SEEN a blue pickle? (Everyone from Russia and Three Mile Island, lower your hands now).
You missed the whole point of that. The judge wasn't necessarily being an "idiot" by asking those questions.
In court, anything said is on record. Therefore, by phrasing questions to Alter like so, Alter has basically said that it IS legal for someone to make a PERFECT, or VIRTUALLY PERFECT copy of a digital audio recording LEGALLY because of that act. BUT, he will then later argue that the EXACT SAME THINGS, only with a visual recording, can NOT be legally done (according to the DMCA) with DeCSS.
If nothing else, I think the Judge did that very well, since that gives 2600 yet another piece to hurl back towards the MPAA.
Slashdot Mirror
Actually, only one was animated for that episode. HOWEVER, another 10 or so were made for one of the episodes "hosted" by Troy McClure (where even Santa's Little Helper shoots Mr. Burns).
I can see it now...
One of three scenarios:
[1] The network sucks
"Honey, let's watch that episode of the Sopranos we taped last night"
"Ok! Wait a second...you sure you taped the Sopranos?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Nothing, its just been saying 'buffering' for the past twenty minutes!"
[2]All your rights are belong to us
"Honey, let's watch that movie we taped last night off HBO."
"Ok! Wait a second...you sure you taped that movie?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Nothing, its just saying that we're violating section 1201(a) of the DMCA, and the authorities are on their way..."
[3]Streaming media...er...SUCKS
"Honey? Why does Regis look like a bunch of pixels?"
Just ask them about it:
:p
Pa: "Hey BOY?!"
John-Boy: "Yeah Pa?"
Pa: "You havn't been going to any of that gay porno on that internet, have ya'?"
John-Boy: "No Pa, I'm only visiting Slashdot."
Pa: "Slashdot? That sounds like gay porno to me"
John-Boy: "No, see pa? Its a place where people have (semi-)intelligent discussions relating to technology, the news, and the law, and how it affects all of us in today's times."

Sweet! Now I'll get nothing but beer and porn ads while I watch Disney! You gotta admit how awesome that would be... :D
This makes me wonder though.

Tress grow back. Lead stays in the water.
No offense, but this is hardly "news".
:D

"Hence the magazines"?
Heh, if the guy was male, I'm sure he had more uses for those magazines than entering some contests. Remember...he was naked...
JAPAN, THE COUNTRY THAT BROUGHT YOU PEARL HARBOR, NOW BRINGS YOU...NASUBI!!!
Yahoo also has their usual list of links and stories in their section as well: http://dailynews.yahoo.com/fc/Tech/Semiconductors_ and_Computer_Chips/
Tell them that computers are a means of violent destruction and death. Tell them that computers can help them keep track of where their stash of black tar heroin is going each week. Tell them that they can Klan's page with a Spike Lee one with only a little bit of time and effort. (Ok, ok, enough about the inner-city kid stereotype). :p

NOW, go and actually read the article for once.
IGN (*shudder*) already ran a story on "Aero Dancing i" would be playable online between Dreamcasts and PC's...(but only in Japan).
The article can be found here (plain-text link for the goat paranoid):

No way those statistics are accurate.

"More likely, thought, that the management is comprised of a bunch of assholes...."
PR Cheif of Koei games Amos Ip comes to mind... (wow...posting an inside comment that only two people know about. Smooth one...)
I would've thought of donating old servers to some non-profit start-up or something along those lines.
But to store beer? Too much time on people's hands...

What did the sun ever do to you to recieve such a harsh punishment?! If you want to banish them to some place of no return, send them to Detroit.
