Give them Tanglewood Tales by Nathaniel Hawthorne, A Bible for Children that leaves the nasty stuff in as though it were moral, and various Norse and other myth books.
At six I was already a strong atheist thanks to that combination on my bookshelf.
If their purpose is to wipe potentially "harmful" information from entering the country when are they going to start using ECT or a bullet to the head to scramble another storage medium they can't index... you.
If you don't mean to be insulting maybe you shouldn't start out by insulting people.
Should I now insult you by saying that Facebook is so last year and maybe you need more timely friends?
You know what I discovered when I joined Facebook? That the majority of people I would want to be in contact with have accounts on there but don't actually use the site. They too got tired of watching others flood the timeline with Application feedback that you have to block on an individual basis, having to constantly check privacy settings, etc.
Twitter actually handles that well, in the form of lists. I can appease any number of contacts by adding them and then relegate them to purgatory by only viewing my managed lists, or @mentions.
It's still lacking in many areas but the 'obnoxious factor' is much lower than Facebook.
I'm curious to see how Diaspora manages information streams or how non-Americentric social networks are evolving.
Seeing that this community has a lot of security conscious folk who is actually using Facebook? I'm not. But if you aren't and you still do the "social networking" thing, what are you using?
They've "prettied" it up with successive versions.
The KJV: If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
The "new" KJV: “If men fight, and hurt a woman with child, so that she gives birth prematurely, yet no harm follows, he shall surely be punished accordingly as the woman’s husband imposes on him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
You mean the laws against gay marriage which contravene the equal rights guaranteed by the constitution?
The 'Old Testament' thumper shines through. After all, Jesus never said anything about homosexuals. Leviticus certainly did. Give me 5 minutes to go through your daily habits and I'll show you at least one case for you to be killed by your fellow YHWH worshipers.
Would you also like to go back to the old standard of Deuteronomy 22? You know, the part where raping a virgin is an acceptable precursor to marrying her?
And the "baby killing", that would refer to abortion of a fetus right? Exodus 21:22 says that a man who causes a miscarriage should receive a fine. That's it. In Genesis life comes with the first *breath*. So where has it been made legal to kill kids by a judge?
In your sig, why didn't you include "Though shalt not seethe a kid in it's mothers milk"? Is some of the 'Word of God' not up to your standards? Seems like the love thy neighbor stuff that you *did* include went out the window with your griping about homosexual marriage.
Do YOU happen to have a ring on your finger from a Christian wedding ceremony? As that would make you a "bride of Christ", whatever genitalia you might have.
I bought a GameCube for Eternal Darkness, then really didn't find much else appealing on the system. When I went to sell it to Electronics Boutique, they offered me 150 for it. So did the guy standing behind me. I walked out of the store and waited at a bench while he got the money. I didn't make anything extra off it, but he saved at least 50 bucks and EB didn't see a dime. That's a win to me.
Who actually cares about karma? All you have to do is not be a dick and your posts don't get buried (usually). Why did you post anonymously? Were you afraid of losing karma? Maybe you were, maybe you weren't. Half the time I don't bother logging in because I have a one-off comment that I won't be checking for replies. Login does allow checking replies easily, which is nice. But should we assume that any of us posting anonymously are doing a karma dodge? No. Why does someone have to consolidate their daily posts into a single statement to satisfy you?
I know that personal tweaks and config accumulations make a difference but his response to my post had nothing to do with using the Long Term Support releases for exactly the reasons people are whining about.
If they don't want to experience change they don't need to hop on every intermediate release. Stick with an LTS for the life cycle, and it's no more of an issue than MS or Apple desktop updates.
It's not so much the horrible things it does to their insides, as the horrible things experienced on the outside. Like: Slow elevators. Rooms with poor ventilation. Single ply industrial-grade toilet paper.
You mean the machine that they sold *AS A COMPUTER*, not just a console, and then crippled the functionality of in an update? Yes, it will lead to piracy. All platforms have piracy. Game sales have still been phenomenal for the last 15 years. It will also lead to people getting the functionality *they paid for* back on devices they own.
And my income has depended on game sales as well, so take your holier-than-thou stance and stuff it.

Man, I thought it was bad when the Canada Post delivery guy was stealing my review copies of video games from Activision.
I've got a piece embedded in my hand too. Still plainly visible 25 years later.
My super powers never returned. Fuck you, Lex Luthor!

Yay for atheist parents.
And all of those cool military gadgets we ooh and ahh over will be deployed against citizens aspiring for freedom.

You're volumetrically challenged?
Well at least the employees of Catholic Church will have a fall-back career.
If you want to know if China is hijacking your data just looks for the bits that are shifted left.
Ah ha! I found you, Comrade Ping!
I won't believe it until someone tattoos the source code on their body, or puts it on a t-shirt!

Why is it in almost every military related article posted here, it inevitably turns political?
Because war and politics go hand in hand.
Funny how the "hippie dippies" are aware of this and it completely sails over your head.
Wow, your e-penis must be huge.

If they don't want to experience change they don't need to hop on every intermediate release. Stick with an LTS for the life cycle, and it's no more of an issue than MS or Apple desktop updates.
And that has what to do with the LTS releases?
I have no idea what you just said.
Joe Q Public has lots of opinions on things they have no interest in.
It's the family flaw.
Consistency is what the LTS releases are for. You shouldn't see significant changes in your system just running software updates.
If you don't want to see rapid change and experimentation with the user experience then stop doing dist-upgrade and stick with the LTS.
It gets the job done.
It just happens to remove the lower 2cm of your colon while it does.
It's not so much the horrible things it does to their insides, as the horrible things experienced on the outside.

Slow elevators.
Rooms with poor ventilation.
