Non-alcoholic beer doesn't PREVENT alcoholism, but it doesn't encourage it either. I'm not sure about the dangers of virtual child porn, but it IS better than REAL child porn, since the "kid" in the picture isn't really being abused.
right, because the day they turn 18, something magical happens and suddenly they understand all the possible repercussions that getting naked on camera could have.
This doesn't relate to porn, but there were things I did in my 20's and now I ask myself "Was I really THAT stupid?"
I seriously doubt that there's that many gay/bi people, and unless the "strange fetishes" involve children, they're "normal" as far as this topic goes.
In my case I DO have the bandwidth, but I DON'T have a CD-Burner. So I guess I have to wait until they offer a CD. According to their website they plan to do so. But as I understand it, one of Gentoo's strengths is up-to-date software. You can't really get that from a CD with any distro.
My own complaints about Slackware are some software (KDE) that are cumbersome to upgrade, and other software (gnucash) that I never have gotten to work. How is Gentoo with those programs?
I'm also thinking about trying Gentoo. A manual LFS took me a week and I still had no X or internet access. From what I've heard, I could probably install Gentoo overnight, or at least over a weekend. And without needing a host distro.
I don't know anything about Rock or Gentoo, but Sourcerer requires an obcene amount of RAM + swap. LFS might be good if you have loads of time to get it right. Myself, after 1 week I had something that did little more than boot, and I didn't really have enough HD space for LFS + my host distro.
I believe the planet turned into kryptonite when it exploded. Sorta like uranium turning into plutonium. It wasn't made of the stuff when they were living on it.
Did the movie even mention insulin? I, and I suspect most viewers ASSumed insulin because that's the drug we think of when we think of diabetes, but I don't remember the movie saying what it was.
"Now as for meds wouldent you have a goodly supply of any medications in the safe room and something on par with a ships first aid kit except the radio phone to call a surgen to walk you through an operations (ok maybe not dependant on how much you distrust the local PD from doing there job)"
It was the first day! The mother probably thought the panic room was unneccesary. The only way diabetic meds would be in there is if the previous owner was a diabetic, and left his meds when he left. Certainly there were security holes, but the biggest holes, just like in reality, was in the people (Mom's failure to hook up the phone or to put daughter's meds in a room she didn't even think she'd need)
Frequently, I hear Debian users excuse their install with "you only do it once". The problem is you HAVE to do it that once, and if you can't install, it doesn't matter HOW good the rest of the system is. With Mandrake, the user at least has a system up, though the stability may be questionable. With Debian, the same user may scratch his head, utter 4 letter words, and return to Doze.
IMO, it depends on your audience. I would never refer to M$ Window$ as such if I were trying to sell my boss on Linux. Nor would I call M$ OutHouse by that name. However I do call M$ and its products by their nicknames on Slashdot, Linux Today, and similar sites.

Since we're all pulling stats out of our @$$es, I have one. 90+% of pr0n viewers are NOT rapists.

Whew, I'm glad it was Coke!
Totally untrue! Everyone knows the average politician emits 3 times the methane of the average cow! And the politician emits it from the opposite end!
They should outlaw damaging a computer system with a virus. However, releasing a virus to others for study purposes is ok.
I'm sorry, but with a robot it's just not the same.
/. doesn't have a monopoly on "slashdotting". I've heard of websites going down after being mentioned on the Art Bell radio show.
I just had a mental image of a naked Palpatine! Arrgghh!
No! That post is dangerous! I'm still cleaning Coke off my monitor!

I'm more concerned about how well it will compile with that amount of RAM, especially hogs like KDE & Mozilla.

Unfortunately, to me 150MB is a high-end machine. I have a K6 450 w 64MB ram.
Slackware IS in active development, in fact there's rumblings of an 8.1 "soon". But I am curious about Gentoo. It sounds interesting.

Wow, Gentoo IS advanced. They have a time machine!

That's my opinion too. I'm using Slackware as my own desktop, but if my mom ever asked me about Linux, I'd steer her towards RH, MDK, or SuSe.
