"Let's say you've got a girlfriend who has rape fantasies (this is actually more prevalent than you might think, a lot of women like the notion of being overpowered by somebody close to them) "
I was amazed at this when I first found this out, and that was only a few months ago (i'm 23 heh, and had quite a sheltered series of gf's.)
It is assumed that a person does not want to be killed. Killing them is going against that at any age.
It is assumed, unless stated otherwise, that a person does not want to have sex with you. A person under 16 (or whatever) is considered incapable of stating that they want sex (since they are too young to understand what it is they are stating).
The logic holds if you think about it that way I think.
"but that slashdot has shown a long-term intolerance to those who have political/religious belifs other than the typical Liberal/Agnostic seen here."
That's because history has shown that religious beliefs are intolerant to everyone else.
It's always the same - the Christians become more and more right-wing, conservative, and fascist. I've been reading a lot of history, and it seems that just about every fascist party has been funded and supported by some Christian denomination.
actually it's non-windows. I'm a kde developer, and I'd be a bit annoyed at having windows users using my software - I code for open source (linux or *bsd), not windows.
I'm almost the complete opposite. I'm a phd student in a company, but have ended up being the IT guy for about 10 computers and 3 servers (1 NT, 1 linux, 1 linux firewall).
I find that most of my time is spent on windows software licenses. Things like updating macafee/norton (I'm sure I'm doing it wrong, but it doesn't seem to be possible to buy multiple licenses at a time easily). But most of all, managing autocad etc. The more expensive the program, the longer I have to muck around with the 'license server' and license files and license-suck-your-soul- and-steal-your-first-born.
Why do people think that's very weird? We drink our mother's breast milk. calves drink their mother's breast milk, and so on. I suspect the first person to do it couldn't produce milk, and wondered if cow's milk would be okay for the child. It doesn't seem that much of a jump.

Bah, $35 million? The UK _citizens_ have given more than that.
*hug*

damn bosses - firing you for getting killed.
is there a practical difference?
"Most companies see the TCO of Windows versus Linux as immaterial."
Judging by the second sentence, i assume you meant "software cost" instead of "TCO", as the TCO _is_ what matters to companies.
Because it's not just making it faster, it's changing the order of complexity to O(n) where n is the number of nodes!

yes
Look at: BZGZD A'GAANZ
There's one famous name that fits that. (hint A=O - not that that gives much away since there's not much that can go before a ')

I suspect that humans are turing machines (considering above a turing machine seems to require metaphysical aspects - a soul or something).
:)
If AI with turing machines is impossible, then it would prove we have a soul
One word - "Payback".
WorldForge has a large amount of Free artwork done by artists.
linux won't make mainstream because hardware manufacturers don't write drivers, and drivers won't be written until linux is mainstream.
Oh well, game over, guess we might as well pack up and go home now. All this wasted time for nothing.
"If it was just an upgrade from W2k to XP, they should spend some time rolling back the PCs."
Not if the machines are stuck unbootable.

Smart? Sounds stupidly brave ;) I wouldn't touch a dozen rabbits that had rabbies, pull out the spinal cord, and muck about with it.
you peel the sticker off and put it on your new case.
"Does anyone have any recommendations on how to present something like this to management in a convincing manner?"
To be honest, I feel sorry for him. He's putting in a lot of hours and work to keep up with what comes naturally to others.
But then you said he was a lead programmer rather than a normal programmer, so fair enough.
"It teaches how to figure the day of the week for any Gregorian date of any time in a few seconds, a trick which I still remember and use today!"
Me too. Although I always forget what doomsday is this year (Sunday iirc).
Yeah, because those 15 year olds don't understand it's wrong to kill.
"you read about some sickos picking up kids all of the time"
You realise that statistically she is far more at risk from you and her family then strangers?
She'd be safer outside.
