  1. Re:anyone read the headline too carefully? on Windows Key Leak Threatens Mass Piracy · · Score: 1

    You are absolutely correct. Remember?

    The subject is a noun,
    A person, place, or thing.
    It's who or what
    The sentence is about.

    The predicate's a verb.
    (That's an action word!)
    It gets the subject
    Up and out.

    The cat stretched.
    The sun beat down.
    The neighbor had chased his kid.
    (Get back here, kid!)
    And the sentence ends
    Only when
    You know what the subject did!

    See? Mr. Morton is the subject of my sentence, and what the predicate says he does!

    Actually I-95 comes in from PA between Ewing and Pennington. Or, if you want some fun, cut through Trenton on Rt 1. Where they meet in Lawrenceville, I95 stops. (This is quite far from Camden, considering it is less than 10 miles from the border.) Then you have the choice of going up Rt. 1 (if you weren't in any hurry) or go south on I-295 and jump onto I-195 which you can take to the great NJ Turnpike (I-95).

    Trenton isn't bad either though, if you don't mind a school with a 97% failure rate. Of course the safety of the city may decrease with the new police chief.

    But I do love NJ. Since I live here, I can make fun of it all I want. It's a love punch.

    ...every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there on a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam.

    Try a different angle on this significance issue. Think of an infinitely large universe with no conscious life. Now think of a universe with only one conscious lifeform, limited to the minimum size required to sustain said lifeform.

    Which universe is more significant?

    (To say it differently, or over-simplify the meaning, would you rather have the most powerful computer in the world, or the only AI in the world?)

    Earth is the most significant spec on the fly's ass even if just because that's where we keep all our stuff. It's rampant self-awareness, and nothing can belittle that.

    Even in the last couple of months, there [krqe.com](#1) have [krqe.com](#2) been [cnn.com](#3) lots of [courier-journal.com](#4) school shootings.

    The only thing that's changed is you're not hearing about them.

    #1 is hardly a school shooting. It is merely a disgruntled kid attacking what was probably his girlfriend's parent. The gun was fired in a struggle. The kid was shot out of self defence. #2 s the exact same story.

    #3 may be considered a school shooting, but no one was hurt. A gun was fired. That's it.

    #4 was a robbery performed by teens that resulted in a murder. A teenager firing a gun does not make it a school shooting.

    I am sure there are plenty of kids getting a hold of guns and shooting people. They just aren't going to school and going on a murder spree. Now THAT is something we would be hearing about.

    Upskirt/toilet cams! Dressing room cameras! Assorted hidden locker room cameras!

    Excellent point, but I would not consider those to be pr0n, whether it involves a kid or not. If a fine looking woman getting undressed in a locker room can turn you on, it doesn't mean that it is pr0n.

    You could argue, though, that hidden cameras are an invasion of privacy and are therefore illegal regardless of age. You would need permission for a "hidden" camera, and minors are not at an age of consent. Could a parent consent to such a thing? It is not a pr0n issue.

    Are they pr0n? Well, yes.

    I am curious how you came to that conlclusion.

    There are sites that show naked pictures of children, yet they are legal under U.S law.

    I wish more people could understand that. Nudity is to porn as grapes is to wine. I can a million pictures of naked people and still have none that are pornographic. The nudity is not the illegal part. It's the leud, sexually suggestive things that are illegal. A child under twelve normally wouldn't do most of those things. Minors are too young to make the decision to be exploited. Nudity is just grapes off the vine and is completely natural.

    I propose that we develope a self-sustaining ecosystem as a man-made satellite of earth.Get that down and you can colonize anywhere (last I heard, the US and other countries are a part of a treaty that forbids colonization on any natural body in space).

    We can have shuttles that are built specifically to go to said station and back to Earth... and that would be the extent of their function. Watch the efficiency grow. Every trip made should bring up more supplies than needed so that there is an abundance, limiting the number of emergency supplies-only trips. Have a couple suitable space stations and you can develope a transport vessel. No entering/exiting atmospheres, just zero-gravity transportation from one to another. Then you can build a station orbiting Mars, creating a dedicated transportation system to and from Mars' orbit from and to Earth's orbit. Then we can think of colonizing Mars.

    But if these stations aren't mostly self-sustaining, they will not survive.

    "Don't trust us"

    On the contrary, it reads as follows: The simplest way is to make sure you have no trusted publishers, including Microsoft. See, they are saying not to trust any certificates. They are effectively implying that the certificate is not trustable, not that the company can't be trusted. Or if you take the sentence out of context, you might show that they are saying don't trust any companies, even them. So that would mean that they are not the problem, but that everyone is a problem.

    As a side note, I wouldn't trust them anyway.
