If what you said were so, then why would the requirements in U.S.C. Title 18, Section 2257 have been such a headache for them? And now that it's been struck down, will that make no difference?
You won't get it. It's just another urban myth, that basically states that any sufficiently successful technology was invented for, and became successful due to, pornography.
headaches for sites like flickr and photobucket t... so does this mean we're going to get an influx of pornographic images on smut-free sites like the above? Great, another useful resource that's going to be blocked by schools now.
Honestly, if the masturbating perverts out there want to get their jollies off of dirty pictures, fine, just make it bloody clear that's what a site contains before the rest of us get bombarded with god-knows-what.
Hi Dylan, I was wondering when you were going to chime in. I suggest you look up the excellent Viewers Guide for that Loose Change 'documentary' you made.
What's sluggish? I read this claim over and over again. In my experience, the only thing vaguely resembling sluggish is the nominally slower load. Please, provide more details.
I find the nail-growing load/save times intensely frustrating, to say nothing of the glacial start-up time.
Compared to MS Office, which goes like a road-runner in comparison. Of course, that would be a road-runner that slams into brick walls from time to time and doesn't know how to pick itself up again. But I've carried that analogy too far.
(Note: I use OpenOffice.org 99% of the time and save in ODF, except when I know the recipient doesn't have OOo and can't be bothered coaching them through the import process)
So my shiny 3-laws-safe robot is likely to shoot fluffy when he tries to piddle on said robots foot while I'm at work. Because silly me forgot to tell it not to harm my pets. Oh, and don't trash my house, please. And if a thief appears at the door, please override his instructions to help him fill his truck with my lounge suite.
I've never really taken those 3 laws very seriously. In fact, didn't Asimov write some of the I, Robot stories to address major problems with those laws?
Yes I should probably have explained that one better.
There are a lot of Windows applications that still do not run properly in Vista. This is one reason (of many) that people are hesitant to adopt it. Now let's say a bunch of gamers (let's say 20% of market by association) suddenly adopt Vista because of a killer feature (DirectX10). These gamers of course use their computers for other things too, and, I believe, will put pressure on third-party software vendors to make their software Vista compatible.
Of course none of this would be a problem if the OpenGL and SDL groups would put in a bit more effort and make DirectX irrelevant.

Well, it was a difficult problem 40 years ago and it still is today.
I thought that was because SUVs qualified as light trucks under US law and were therefore exempt from fuel taxes?
Sorry no such luck. That functionality is reserved for GEGL[1], or pretty much every other photo editing program.
[1] A new graphics engine that was supposed to go into GIMP 2.4 but has been pushed back to 2.6.
That's one reason you can have my Megadrive when you pry it from my cold, dead, RSI'd thumbs.
Ah, so you're a slave to your own desires then? Honestly, man, get some self-control.
Ah, there's one of them now. Hello.

This driver looks nice with a few improvements over the old one.
However I was hoping to get their 3D API so we could write our own. When's that going to happen?
+1 funny? I was serious. It was that road-runner analogy, wasn't it?
And still people on this forum advocate buying a Wii.

Except McCain couldn't have stopped it by his actions alone. Clinton could have, and didn't.
Doesn't matter. He vetoed a whole lot of bills while he was in power. That's why a lot of people liked him - he preserved the status quo very well.
All excuses aside: he could have vetoed this one, and he didn't.
How did they know what to make it out of?

hmmm
Well remind me never to throw you a surprise birthday party.
Not meaning to tread on their parade, but won't these people ever get tyred of re-inventing the wheel?

Why, won't the new version cope with an extra ring in the calendar?
Maybe they'll pull a Knuth and make it asymptotically approach a number: ... 10.8, 10.9, 10.91, 10.92, ... 10.991, 10.992, ... 10.99999999
7,8,9,10,10.1,

I don't know. Just ask Ewan McGregor.
Hmm, I find your ideas interesting.
AYAK?
