While I think it might be ok to set up.porn or.sex or whatever, I dont think you can force everyone that deals in porn into it because that would be censorship also. I dont think every nude picture constitutes porn, and to judge subjectively what is and isnt porn becomes censorship.
Are movies with nudity porn? Are movies with sex porn? How about books with sex?
Can you honesly say that you can come up with a emprirical definition of porn that completely excludes 100% of valid forms of expression?... If not well then I feel my free speech rights are at risk.
People who own their own cable modems (like me) cant really take advantage of the "offer". I could try and sell my cable modem to get the value back out of it, but then again nobody would buy it because ATT customers are most of the market. On this point:
What we really need is more competition in the marketplace. We need at least a dozen different services, then one of them would relaise the good niche market of people with their own cable modems.
I agree... As soon as I get my next bill, I intend on getting on the phone with a manager at customer service and letting them know that I will switch broadband cariers as soon as annother option becomes available.... If enough people do this they might just get scared and listen...
...or they might just tighten thier grip on their monopoly
Well if you really wanted to read the article, you could always check out the google cache, but dont bother, the article sucked. Basically it says what video card they liked.... thats it.
Certs CAN and DO help. They leave your breath smelling minty fresh... Of course you can try brushing or mouthwash, but nothing is going to be a convienent as Certs.
Of course you also asked which Certs.. I prefer to hire people who use Wintergreen (Artificially Flavored) and I would probably not hire someone using Cinnamon (Artificially Flavored). The other two Peppermint or Spearamint are a toss up, but if they make your breath better, go for it! What do you have to loose?
Dont use jpeg, its not good for text. Jpegs are good for photographs because photographs have predictable gradients. Use PNG/GIF for images with sharp/nongradual edges, you will get better compression/quailty that way.
I dont want a national Biometric ID, but I dont see your point. If anything, this would make it harder to get your identity stolen. A retinal scan could verify wether or not the drivers lisence you are using is yours or not, thereby keeping people from using stolen ID's.
Fingerprints on the otherhand could be really bad, since they are much more easily reproduced. Plus, if someone had your fingerprints, they could leave them at the scene of a crime.
If life exists on Mars, it has to be about as simple a a bacteria. Under this assumption, there really isnt much risk that it would be wiped out by an Earth contaminant. Simple life forms adapt extremely quickly. Look how quickly bacterial adapt to antibiotics.

So then, people with long ear hair must hear very well?
Actually No. As said in the article the hairs adjust their length so that they resonate with the incoming sound. The length is critical so it would not help to have longer hairs.
If a person goes blind and his hearing becomes enhanced, then does that mean blindness stimulates ear hair growth?
There is no evidence of this. It is more likely that the brian simply diverts higer order resouces to interpreting sound information.
On a serious note, does this all mean that those who use cotton swabs to clean out the ear canal are actually damaging their hearing because they may be damaging the hairs?
Wrong hairs. I believe the hair that they are refering to are the hair with in the cochlea which is deep which is deep past the eardrum in the inner ear.

Everyone,
Whatever you think about these things, remember your basic Physics. Under the laws of physics, when you move away from a mass, you spend kenetic energy to gain potential energy. You can regain that energy by allowing yourself to return to your original position.
If there is some sort of "anti-gravity", or "gravity shielding", it cannot break this law (nor the laws of inertia for that matter). Otherwise, you could turn on your "gravity shielding", assend to a position of larger potential energy than your current position, then simply turn off your "gravity shielding" and get free energy by falling back to your original position.
Therefore, any "anti-gravity" or "gravity shielding" must also keep you from moving along any path that is not equi-potential. Also because of this, any "anti-gravity" or "gravity shielding" device must also be an anchor of sorts.
The probability of impact for CU11 object is actually 0.0021% which is twice as scary. The 0.0021% figure comes from adding the probablities of all of the guessed trajectories.
For those of you scratching your heads about it being 0.0021% instead of 0.000021 (2.1e-5) its because you have to multiply by 100 when converting a raw probablity to a percetage chance.

Can you tell me how anyone can define porn?
Is nudity porn.
Are movies with nudity porn?
Are movies with sex porn?
How about books with sex?

The chances of that are like the chances that (uncontroled) ionizing radiation is going to cure cancer or cause you to grow wings.

Im glad they are calling Linux by its proper name: The Operating System
It seems like all they did is buy all of the components and plug everything in (with the exception of the power supply).

The expression "e" is scientific notation. You could just as well replace e with 10^. So 2.1e-5 is 0.000021.
My bad. Looks like I didnt look carefully enough to see the dates went all the way to 2088.

a probability of 0.00001 is 0.001 percent
a probability of 1 is 100 percent
