Every conviction on child molestation should be a mandator death penalty.
In a perfect system, where there are no mistakes that would be a good thing, but everybody makes mistakes, what if a day/week/year after somebody's death-penalty it's seems te be wrong? You can't just revive him/her! I think putting them in jail for the rest of their lives is a much better punishment than death, make them suffer, and that goes for (almost) every crime. But I'm just too scared for the fact that somebody gets punished while (s)he shouldn't be.
But then again, I'm from the Netherlands...
Or like that.. [LOTR: insert wise words from Gandalf]
Also think of the fact that even in most western countries not everybody have an PC, here in Holland most families only have 1 or 2 PC's, that's about 1/2 PC/person.
When it's so much easier to sit down at a computer?
Couse you can't use an computer on the move, and carying an 15 2KG laptop around all the time instead of an 2 200G phone isn't an option for most people.
I would use a PDA or a laptop.
Yes, you would use that, be every kid with just a few $ aren't going to buy an $400 device just for sending a few mails if they can do the same with an $50 mobile-phone.
And you're posting at slashdot? Go sit on the sofa and tell me more about the good'ol'days.
children need to learn math in their heads they need to know why math works the way it does
Yes, but that doesn't need them to really DO everything in their head. Why should they learn how to calculate PI if they just got it and spend their time on learning more complex things, if you have to learn less of why it works the way it does it; you can learn more!
have you seen the hand writing of people lately?
*trying to write down my own name*
eeeewww, yes, I've seen it, what's your point? We got computers, right?
Give them an good metal-case and they can't break it. I use one for school too, as long as I keep the case shut I'm almost certain I'll break faster than my palmtop!
no, no, no, no! Thele is absolutely no connect with any MacGuyvel-film, we have independitely developed this gleat piece of science and papel-lasel-plane is completly supelioul to MacGuyvel-plane! Ha-Ha-Ha! How deal Aflosheen to confuse those two with each othel!
should they be advertising with: "well, nobody of you will need that amount of GHz now, Pentium's sucks compared to AMD's... but what the heck, buy our stuff!).
Now, you don't let them do casual things, you'd make them do things you would never (unless you're an idiot) do, like: electrocute, stunt with fireworks (in-house), drown those sims, call the police for nothing, drown them, the Sims is just like an ordinary horror game, really!
1) buy a radio 2) turn on the radio (hardcore music) 3) let the sims play with fireworks (in the house, full of wooden boxes and without an exit 4) BWUUHAHAHAHAHAHA!
can you imagine what kind of job it must be to record the voices for the sims?
ok, now scream, but not English, like you're set in fire, AAUWWUAAUWAUHWGHAWWA!
can you control your roommates and make them fight each other, and then stop... load... restart & drown them?
look, people just want to do something and then stop and do something else without screwing any real-live persons.
simulating is a good way of testing things for real-life, without the Sims some people might never know that trying to repair your desk-lamp can kill yourself!
2022, Bill Gates have recently landed on planet Mars and planted the flag of the Microsoft corporation (www.microsoft.cn) on the planet's surface. An excited Gates said one small step for men, but a big step for Microsoft, when he got out of the Chinese capsule.
10 minutes later Microsoft monopolised Mars' OS-market and relocated it's HQ from Ledmond, China to Redmond, Microland, Mars.
We expect our products to become even beter now due to the low gravity and lack of terroristic attacks by Linux-fanatics said Steve Balmer, he also stated that their newly founded country (Microland), will NOT allow so-called alternative programs like Apple's MacOS, Linux and Sun's Solaris. We've got an planet to conquel, so we, that is the gleat Miclosoft colpolation can't leally use any altelnative ploglams that might endangel oul mission said the director of Microsoft, Su Nil.
Steve Balmer said in a response that they're planning a mission to Venus Venus is much cooler, but also very hot, just like our products, RedHat is planning an far more challenging mission, they're planning to move to one of Jupiter's moons, Europa it has an icy surface, so maybe pinguins will trive over there. Sun have not yet released any plans, but they do say that it might become a very hot mission.

dady, dady! I went outside and suddenly my watch said .
darn, must have forget to turn of the self-destruct function...
In an geek-child episode the response would be:
"So?"

huh? Microsoft? bugs? never heard of them...

*insert Bill Gates marketing talk*

Just hold on a little longer! It's comming
NASA's space shuttles still runs on old 8086's, it are not only the under-developed countries who are not capable (/willing) of staying up-to-date.

Walking around with an modded cell phone.. some incompetent idiot asked me:
Sir, why are you having an giant screen against your head ánd why are you even talking against it?
-> It's not just an screen, it's my modded mobile phone with an build-in 42 plasma screen, now I can finally read who's calling me
gee, some people just know nothing about technology
nobody can hack my wire-less, state-of-the-art über laptop-computer!
:)
Why? How?
It doesn't access the internet
And you're posting at slashdot? Go sit on the sofa and tell me more about the good'ol'days.

A new simple-laptop ($1000) cost atleast 2 times as much an new state-of-the-art-palmtop. ($400)
When people type that whole M$ crap I just cringe because the majority of you that do it are 15 years
I'm 15, and I don't really like M$...
from your parents AOL connection
lol, does xs4all counts as AOL?
talking about how you run debian this or redhat
I'm not running debian, but I am running an downloaded RH and using linux since SuSE 7.1 (not to long tough..).
CS club will think your cool
I am, I am 8)
When Linux dies, it's because people like you will have turned it into Microsoft.
aha, but Linux is an OS and Microsoft(TM) is an "software"-company
why am I actually posting this? oh, well there goes my karma...
no, no, no, no! Thele is absolutely no connect with any MacGuyvel-film, we have independitely developed this gleat piece of science and papel-lasel-plane is completly supelioul to MacGuyvel-plane! Ha-Ha-Ha! How deal Aflosheen to confuse those two with each othel!

There goes my plan to sneek to Australia... what's next? Siberia closed for tourists?
Everybody knows that sooner or later the PS3 will come

I've got a nice one:

2) turn on the radio (hardcore music)

why simulate real life?

ever wonder why american imports tons and tons of drugs every year?
research?
they can heft guided rocks
can you believe it? It's 2002 we're having nukes, rockets, space-shuttles, lasers, guns.
and now we are thinking of trowing rocks!!
oh, no, wait they are guided, like as in smart missile: smart stone.
Now the latest headline: China have trown a rock to the USA, we do not yet know the exact impact spot, but everything is on high alert...
