Its basically the same as the chicken and the egg anology. Did violent video games create these psychos or do these psychos just like these violent games. The real question, is which was the chicken and which was the egg?
It is simple, don't use AOL. As if I had to say that here! But any service that you pay for should not have pop up advertisements, especially those that can directly charge your credit card on file, and any person that allows this is foolhearty.
AOL would have to count as being online. If you dialed out to the internet and only used IRC, that is still being online. Granted it is not the full extent of the internet, more like a distraction, but it is online.
We had a discussion about this the other day at work. It was whether it was better to have the "quirky" brilliant engineer, as apposed to a conformed just qualified engineer. Well, the discussion soon turned into an all out arguement as our "quirky" engineer, defended his brethren, and our office manager spouted about how much of a pain in the ass they are. Shortly thereafter, there were slamming doors, and only the sounds of each of them mumbling something to themselves. Personally, I would rather have the "quirky" engineer in a pinch, but for an everyday living, I would rather have the conformed individual. I guess that is like having my cake and eating it too.

What do I care about Karma anyway, it doesn't make me sleep any better at night. If you thought it was funny, fine, great. If you took it personal, then kiss my ass. In fact, I am sure I am sacraficing the everloving Karma now, by telling to to go fück yourself. So take your stats, cram them up your ass, and you can see how may watts that emits!
That makes me wonder when are they going to start going after the companies like Phillips that market CD recorders. If I cannot have a backup copy of a song on my PC, what do they say about having a backup copy on another CD.
I find it kind of funny that Tutone (two tone) is how each number of a touch tone phone are dial. This would be forshadowing in any other case, but somehow I don't think so here.
I guess it is fine for all of us law-abiding people, and society doesn't need to hold itself back because you wont be able to hide who you bought your weed from. I guess you will have to go back to the barter system for that. All other establishments will eventually fall in line and start accepting credit/debit cards. Hell, even some vending machines take credit cards.
It is sad to see the number of people that would not stand up to fight for the freedoms that they have. I was having a conversation with my father about this today, whether I would fight or cower. I would like to believe I would fight. I told him that I am sure that if I did, I would be the guy that takes a bullet before my feet hit the ground, or I would be the guy that would be unknowingly be standing next to Mr Suicide Bomber graciously walked by. But even with those fears, I do believe that; their attack against us on Sept 11th was an attack on liberty; Men and women of previous years gave their lives to assure liberty for their children; and I as I am expecting a child soon, will do what I must to assure that my child/children will have liberty as well. Now everyone has been given the right to not have to fight, but that right is given to you by the idea that we are defending; FREEDOM.
You know, pretty soon, 99% of the internet traffic will be Worms and Virii trying to propagate to different machines. The other 1% will be a combination of Slashdotters and people looking for porn.

Can't anyone post anything usefull to discuss other than first post or some bullshit ascii art?
Hey, when I was growing up I was taught to share.

Right, it doesn't look or act like Volkswagon either, and they are not classifying it as one, so why do the same with squid?
That they will never be sunbathing nude on a beach, or accidentally pop out of their dress during a dinner function. Oh well.

Now it will only take about a square foot of this new material to cool the Pentium 4 processors.

Hey... You forgot to mention how the earth is flat, and that the Earth is the center of the universe. Maybe saving that for another day huh?
"based on the action of bird's wings"
This is referring to movement of the wings, not its ability to change the dynamics of the air around them.
I didn't agree to or pay for the license anyway.

He means port forwarding, not redirecting.
I guess I will just have to bust into my MP3 stash to hear the music that I like. Too bad I didn't get to grab any Metalica before it was too late.
So, does that mean that slashdot survived the ultimate slashdot effect?
