"although I suggest having her check "male" as her sex -- you are less likely to have teenage boys messaging her"
It's not the teenage boys that you have to worry about, it's the 40 year old guys who say they are teenage boys.
I'm not against (legal) porn at all. I don't think that if a kid runs across porn on the Internet that it will somehow scar them for life. I also don't think that viewing porn will turn them into some sex-crazed pervert.
I believe those that are scarred or turned into perverts where either predisposed to this in the first place and that if it weren't the Internet it would be some other stimuli that triggered it, or come from an environment so violent and horrible that they where doomed from the start. The same thing holds true with video games not turning kids into homicidal axe wielding maniacs.
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that such online activities should be encouraged, in fact they should be strictly forbidden.
However, I see the biggest threat on the Internet is chat rooms and REAL people. The problem there is that it would be very hard to prevent the kids from finding somewhere to chat. With the proliferation of IRC, web based chat, java based chat, not to mention all of the proprietary formats out there, it is almost impossible to either filter or quickly monitor their activities via a log of some sort.
Supervision is the only true answer, and in the real world in a lot of cases this just isn't an option. Unfortunate but true.
The bottom line is that your 11 year old daughter is MUCH safer doing anything she wants on the Internet than going to a mall or the movies by herself or even with friends.
If kids want porn, they'll get it, Internet or not. Trust me, I know!;)
Yeah, but notice that the cable version says "Pick up the FREE:CueTV cable from the RadioShack nearest you or order one from us." and the wireless says "Get the:CueTV Wireless Audio-Link from the RadioShack nearest you."
I wonder how much they'll be selling it for. I would guess that it is only mono because that is all that is required for their scheme, and it would help keep people from using it for anything else.
What are you going to do? Solve a problem like this for everyone you might want to send an email to?
Here's a solution. Make each message a MIME multipart where one part is encrypted and the other is copy in plain text. That way you're sure that the recipient can read it!

GIMP And OS X

But the fact that GIMP is free is a huge bonus.
Only to people who only use a graphics tool to mess around with. No professional graphics design artist is going to complain about the cost of Photoshop.
It would cost them more in lost productivity to learn a new tool than to just spend the money on Photoshop.
Now if Photoshop sucked (like Windows), that would be a different story and they might actually gain in productivity by switching.
Sure, GIMP may be good for those things, but it doesn't come close to Photoshop when it comes to professional level design work where the final destination will be paper rather than a monitor.
Not only that, but if someone has need for a high end graphics tool to perform their work, they aren't going to balk at $600. Especially when the alternative would mean having to relearn the whole process of completing their work, and on an inferior program at best.
Please not, this isn't flamebait. The gimp is great for what 99% of users would ever need to make their websites look pretty and make some cool skins, it's just not a free equivilent to Photoshop.
Yeah, but the lack of ethernet on the smaller model makes it virtually useless for what I'd do with it.
I think this would be a perfect headless linux server. Get FTP, HTTP, NFS, mars_nwe, Samba, and whatever other modes of access are available running on it so you can connect from anything. Bring it to a client's site, just plug in power and ethernet and your server appears on their network. Stick all your utilities, etc. on it. Also great for temporary backups.
At ~$1299 with a 30Gig drive in it, it's not out of the question.
The only problem that I see is if the site isn't using DHCP for assigning addresses. Then you've got to hook up a monitor and keyboard to it. Or I guess you could use a null modem cable plugged into the back of another PC.
Will Capt. Janeway have any rights as to the product her character consumes and therefore endorses? I'm sure at the time of the initial filming if she violently objected to pitching a particular product for moral reasons that they would have taken it into consideration.
Maybe she doesn't like Pizza Hut because they perform cruel testing on baby pepperonies or something. She might not want to be associated with them.
He's right about one thing... cooking has changed, but not the way he had anticipated. If we use old 50's sit-coms as our guides, cooking was primarily done by the housewife with the possible exception of the occassional bar-b-q handled by the husband.
Cooking today for many folks in our rich American suburbs is a hobby. Men and women both enjoy experimenting with cuisine from all over the world and all the cool new kitchen "toys" that we can spend our money on. Here in the south, men are considered to be the "experts" of regional cuisine.
Many people cook at (not for) parties as a social thing. Kitchens are opened up to the community areas of the house so the cooks can mingle with guests.
There is a whole TV network devoted to nothing but food and food preperation.
In most larger cities there cooking classes with a social atmosphere that go on all the time. We pay $50 to sip wine while watching a guy show us how to bread for 2 hours.
It's not even close to as good as IE. I truely wish it was, but it just isn't. That's reality.
I have to keep a W2K box around just to run IE withouth having to run vmware or something. That's what my clients use on their intranet, that's what I have to make sure it works in.
AOL actually pays Microsoft to bundle IE with their service?
It seems to me that Microsoft would WANT AOL to get all of their users to be tied to IE, even to go so far as to maybe pay the cost of making the CD's for them just so they'll use IE.
Actually, the C=64 was a great box for creating any type of text based GUI. With the graphic characters on the keyboard you could do some pretty cool stuff.

The article stated that after the place was hosed down and the water ran down the drain that a heater was turned on that dried everything out.
If dried sufficiently, there wouldn't be a mold problem.
So that's a HIT! oh, no, sorry...
Yeah, this is really neat until the plastic goes down the drains, cools off, and forms a solid blob of plastic in your drains.

It didn't work. :(
I found it interesting that in the list Intel processors preceding the 8088 was the 404. A coincidence, or a prediction of where it will all end up?
I really don't think that's the point. It appears that he was just a part time employee working on a project during two summers.
We aren't told that he decided to take the high road with his career and not try to become filthy rich.
He did his job and went on with his life.
