All sex sites have six months to comply and move their site in its entirety to this domain. Then, a government office is set up where government officials comb through the Internet with a big comb, a la Space Balls. Any sex site that is found in a non.xxx domain will have its domain name revoked immediately and the government will immediately go after them...
I don't think that such an enforcement would be necessary. Government must do it clever, so pr0n sites are willing to cooperate. First, having a porn site in.xxx domain makes it much easier to find for customers. Second, don't prohibit porn in other domains, just prohibit "porn names" so cumshot.com is illegal, but cumshot.xxx is ok. Third, give away for free names in.xxx domain to sites that have exact same name in.com or other domains, so they don't lose too much customers. Feel free to think of 4th and 5th...
My guess is that it is more likely to be an effect. All biochemical and biophysical regulations in human body are done by brain (at least for those, who has it): blood pressure, adrenaline level etc. By regulating this parameters brain tells body to be more alert, more calm, move faster etc. For example, when you are scared, brain signals "more adrenaline" and heart starts beating faster => you can move (run away) faster. The same with this hormones: brain decides that someone is an appropriate sexual object and body starts producing appropriate hormones. So the question we have to ask now is "What this hormones are doing to our body, what exactly are they good for?"(except, you know, switching off brains and switching on genitals)
Explain to me who gives a smallest shit about this article being a dupe or not??? If you've read it on/. before or somewhere else -- just ignore it and move on. I always though this is the natural way of reading/. or any other site or article or whatever. Just don't freakin' troll around here and let people who haven't seen the article before (I haven't) discuss the matter.
Make sure you use File Alteration Monitor Daemon then. Attackers often replace ps, top, login etc. with alternate, infected versions, so you don't see their software working. Of course that famd data can be replaced too, but just another security tool won't do any harm.
When somebody enjoys doing something they obviously want to do it more often.
Not that exactly. Addiction is more like a compulsive behaviour: irrationally motivated. It is a complex psychological issue. Game junkies do enjoy gaming, but definitely not THAT much.
Selma: You're not disappointed are you?
Marge: Oh no, no no...No, I'm just...surprised.
Homer: Yeah...big surprise. Hey Marge, here's another bomb...I like beer! Ha ha ha ha!
This in turn creates a cycle where people figure out it's okay to not work for a living (or not work unless the wages are high) because they are going to get the dole anyway.
You know, I think it is now the time when we don't need to care about it at all. I mean with current level of technologies 20% of workforce can produce all necessary goods. And 20% of people will work just for fun, because they like their work. So people who don't work would receive just enough money to live. Those who work should receive extra fo luxury. With this attitude I think we can get all work done.
Of course, this is just MHO and needs more careful research.
Because, they are human beings. And you too. Because it is the way the world works. Because without generous help from other people you would be nothing. And I'm not talking about money.
That's just going to promote laziness and dependence on me.
No, if you think carefully about how are you in fact helping. Giving an alcoholic money is not helpful in any way, while giving it to poor woman, who has many children and whose husband died is a real help.
What so bad about OSS being a socialism in the first place? I think this guy just bringing back the old scary story about communists and that "they want to destroy us"!
Actually, I've studied socialism a lot. And I think that this is a very, very good business model and Free Software is a good proof. However, it still requires carefull research regarding how to implement it right on a country (world?) level.
My point is: they can't reason anymore about "why is OSS bad" and so they try just to scare people, leaving out the fact that the ghost they are showing is sooo dead and out of date.
If the target server is running one of the vulnerable scripts at specific URLs and is configured to permit external shell commands and remote file download in the PHP/CGI environment...
which in practice means that your admin have died a couple of years ago but was never replaced.
I would be rather uncomfortable about running a cpu heavy application which requires internet access without some way of auditing its behavior.
I find it more than just uncomfortable. It's ridiculous to ask me for some of my computing power, while in return giving some weird EULA to accept and non-free (as in freedom) application.
When I was reading the article "480-Pound Woman Dies After Six Years On Couch" (second link) I had a "Breakfast Bistro Sandwich" ad on the top of the page. What an irony!
What were once great benefits of Perl have become standard features in many other languages.
If you were talking about Python or Ruby, I could've agreed. But Java, C#, PHP are *DAMN FAR BEHIND* in this respect. I mean, metadata manipulation, built in hash and list data types with appropriate manipulation functions (grep, map etc.) are still "too advanced" features for modern programming languages like C# and Java.
I wonder, is there a possibility of not identifying Mars' living things as form of life, just because it is very different from ours? How do one check, whether the thing is alive or not?
I honestly don't see why they should suddenly take over and obsolete other programming
I'm not sure about "obsolete" thing, but functional programming strikes back -- that is for sure. Why I say that? First, because I've learned from pugs the same thing: Haskell is powerfull. And there are many other guys, so haskell bacame more popular, thanks to Pugs and Autrijus Tang, its leading developer. Second, new programming languages are adopting functional features: map, reduce, lambda in python for instance. There will be many of them in Perl6. Then Sun is developing new programming language Fortress, which is rather functional too. Why haskell? Haskell is pure and with age of parallel and grid computing at hand this is very important feature!
developers are far less likely to comment in wierd formats
Natural Docs can solve problem of weird formats. It is rather straitforward, looks nice in code and very easy to use. Besides, it allows you to write docs in separate files if developers really give up commenting in code. As for me, this is the best doc autogenerator I've ever seen.

Then fucking switch for real and stop whining here.
My Mom likes PHP too! However, I don't see what it has to do with /.
Number of requests to Google Base vastly dropped.

If I found out that this suggested use was actually in the documentation rather than a stupid comment of an article submitter...
I'm sorry, dude, but I have to disappoint you...

Good idea, I think, but impossible to implement.
