"Good morning Mr. Dread, would you like your cappucino regular this morning?" "Ye--wn, yeah James, please, btw please change the music mood from "work" back to "lounging" please?" I put aside my real-doll (thanks hun;) get out of bed and trip over my Aibo-2k. It bites me in the leg, barks and drops my slippers.
"James, please clean the house vigouresly today, mums comming for dinner tonight."
"Should that be the usual week-end clensing, or the full-swing sprink break sopping?" James asks. I call my house James, call me conservative. My neighbours named it HAL. Personally I think this is asking for trouble, specially if they havent installed the House2k buffer overflow patch. It would be a real nuisance to find your real-doll with the cyber flue. Of course, they bought WinHouse, whilst Im running my favourite RedRoof Linux.
Thankfully the freebeer patch for my Intellifridge worked, now I hacked free beer on my daily deliveries!
Now where did I leave the hornyashell, mood mod? Oh well, have to work late anyway.
Luckely my bath is heated, thanks James, and my CarBot is humming to wait for my daily commuter.
I rub my back and watch the BabyJames' crawl under the laudry basket, in search of that week-end dirt to suck.
Mostly because Co$ is NOT a religion. It is a conspiracy motivated ripp-off
American Law states that just about everyone who thinks his mind is fed by a "higher force" and creates a new religion, has the right to call their delusion so; "religion"
Well, Science Fiction writer Ballard though this would be a really cool way of accomplishing World Domination (literally) So he wrote an extra few books about "Thetans" and "OT levels" and other "secret" stuf. You gotta read some of that. It is some of ballards best work.Of course that is illegal, cuz copyrighted. Which doesn't prevent anti Co$ activists to publish it anyway of course.
Still, cus of the silly laws, silly Americans Like Cruise and Travolta this organization is quite big, influencial and well, dangerous. They are known for discreibility tactics for attacking enemies, in fact some of the stuff they publish (secretely, intern) is about how to "break" enemies and perform other illegal methods.
The german government (as a lot of others have done less publically) recognized the danger of such an organisation, who uses such brutal and illegal methods, hidden in a "religous" org., and has rightfully outlawed them.
Im no fan at all of sueing anyone one makes you unhappy, but putting a kid in jail for writing a story, which the teacher asked for dammit, is like suing Army Soldiers for murder, cus they OBEYED orders when killing some Iraqi.
And all this for the paranoia of some bored middle aged, clueless housewifes?
Who, if they were REAL parents, should have talked to the little writer, and there sons, why they hate each other, if thats the case.
(Do the complaining parents put THEIR kids in jail next time one of the little brats spouts : "I HATE YOU" to their mums?)
But, the school, listing to those parents, is really at fault here.
After all Moms dont get a mom degree, but teachers, especially principals, should have a clue about kids. Or more general people.
By jailing a kid, marking his psyche for his life, because he wrote an innocent story on the teachers request even, the school demonstrates a total lack of interest for the kids, or a total failure in understanding kids all together.
Mismanagement in gross proportions, hurting a little kid in the process. Even in liberal Holland, this would be a possible reason for a lawsuit based on lack of competence of the school. The negative publicity alone would close the school.
Close the damn school. Or at least fire the cunt of a principal.
ps Did I get all 7 no-no words? ps2 yes Katz IS a nerd. And thats why I love him.
He isnt? wee, by deduction that means there are other people who actually CAN predict the future?
Or, does Clarks article mean, that whatever wee bit of thruth could lie in such predictions (the article isnt SF really), probably would have been written by someone like Clarke? A well educated SF writer. Hell, Not that I liked Reagen, but he hired them (SF writers, or at least one of em Heinlein If I recall) to actually work on the future.
If you need a hint that Clarke really isnt the messiah, like you suggest people need, I think that person would need a doctor. Even Clarke does not think that.
The biggest problem with this censorware stuff, is their FLAWS. If indeed, they only blocked certain content -some- people find offensive, and -only- that, it might have some merit. Although it would still be dangerous. (From a radical Free Speech point of view) I can promise you however no censorware will ever -work- that way, you need a human brain to tell the difference between a nudie pic, and a work of art, say a picture of the 16th chapel. No censorware can rely on human brains however, theres just to much content to consider.
Therefore the situation that people who DONT use the broken censorware thingies, get labeled porn lovers, or less hard, but still ridiculous, Kid unfriendly. So libraries and whatnot feel themselfes forced to use it, effectively blocking a MAJOR part of content for a LOT of people.
Now this is in my opinion VERY dangerous indeed.
The biggest problem as I can see it, is the widely adopted opinion we should mindcontrol our kids, and preferrably all other people who dont get the Political Correct American Way.
I dont like the face of Bill Clinton, I also dont like the face of David Letterman when im hunting for porn (:) But the Back Button is always a click away, might I stumble on those faces..
To All Those Who Think Their Souls Get Lost By Seeing A Naked Breast : Dont Click On The Get Sex Free Button In The First Place. If So. Use The Back Button.
I never ment to give a "fair" judgement. But I can see your point. In my moral "culture" though The Netherlands is just NOT severely fucked up. Lots of American politicians try to paint us that way, yes. I do not agree with American politicians ussually.
But I love to share a Cider, or a Joint with you:)
Well.. you are wrong, you may think so, I will just call you a poor clueless soul, because I disagree with you. I will not call you "wrong" or "evil". Please dont put YOUR morals on other people.
Why would the ISP _help_ fix a broken product like Cyber Partol? Why would the ISP even consider helping an obvious cencor? I'd leave the ISP if they HELPED CyberPartol personally, next you guys go invent CommiePatrol or something. CyberPartol is dangerous, its a MindControl tool.
Besides indeed being the laughingstock of all of MY country (I live in The Netherlands, and our sexlives is our OWN bussiness, and the prez sex'life is his, but we cannot bear a knife big enough to peel a fish in public) I Just Dont Get It. Why is that Americans think "love" (or sex) is something people should be protected against, and violence and Guns should be freely available?
Is the right to censor everything that collides with the American Way more important then the right of free speech? Is the right to use CyberCop (wich is obiously not even doing the cybercopping right) more important then the right to publish porn or lovestories or the adress of the neirest abortion clinique?
Its seemingly impossible for the anti-guns lobby to DO anything, apparently the right to bear arms is rigorously defended by a lot of people, but a headhunter who uses Cyberpatrol (what is this guy headhunting for? The Vatican?) gets a headline on SlashDot. And we are supposed NOT to laugh?
And then the US of A wonders why the whole world is scared shitless if you guys start policing the world again.
Face it. Their is NO Freedom Of Speech in the USA, there is only totally arbitrary court rulings, like the pro-life dudes who had to take down there abortionist list (dont get me wrong prolife is NOT my way, but LISTS dont kill people, people do, to paraphrase a pro-gun slogan, what list will be next?) and in the meantime almost all porn is produced in.. the USA In the meantime, you are murder country #1 In the meantime, American highschool kids get the idea they are totally weird, for thinking about sex, but its ok if dad has a sawed off shotgun, and takes Brat out hunting every weekend.
Face it, The American Way needs a revamp.
Greetz and good luck, and who knows.. you might get it one day.

I love my Yamaha, Philips makes decent ones also. You probably want the CD-RW variant (re-writeble CD's are possible with this)
I prefer SCSI (as opposed to IDE or EIDE) connected CDR's, but that will mean buying an additional SCSI card most likely, so more money.
In either case its probably wise to let a local shop fit it for you.
