i have a standard 2.. if it is moderated, it will say so under the article. even if I could I would not moderate myself. I dont always remember to check the 'no score +1 bonus'.
actually I didn't try to steal anything, and I did not get it. Sending out an ad under the pretense that it is real information is ILLEGAL in the netherlands, because all commercial messages should be labeled as such. before you accuse me of stealing please make sure that what you are saying is true. I prefer stuff like Offspring (who are putting their next album online for free, much to sony's chagrin)
>When one goes the magazine rack in a bookstore (Hastings, Barnes & Nobel, etc), one notices that the adult material is covered with an opaque cellophane wrap.
not in the netherlands. you have to know what you buy, right? sometimes there's transparent cellophane though (to keep the free CDs from falling out)
>It is also on the higher shelves, so that little hands cannot reach it.
for playboy, penthouse etc. I have to bend down in most local bookstores. any kid over 10cm high can reach them. not like they can't see breasts anywhere else..
I really don't understand the sexual hangups that seem to prevail in the US. they strike me as really old-fashioned, and quite ridiculous. but each to his own I guess.
yeah, the netherlands is really one of the most dictatorial nations known in the current world. too bad the article is set in the US, and you so patently show your complete and utter ignorance of the situation in the netherlands. You're welcome to come and visit to find out for yourself. At least here in the netherlands it isn't money that makes the laws. what the netherlands has may not be a bill of rights, or a first amendment.. but we have a declaration of human rights. excuse me, but now I have to go to a coffee-shop and get me some pot. After that, I'll check out some porn in a store-window, and buy violent games without age-restriction. Maybe after that I'll reverse engineer a censoring list, and post some links to DeCSS.
I have a RIGHT under dutch law to make a personal copy. companies should not (and should not be allowed to) use technological or other means to deny consumers their rights.
here in the netherlands making a a copy for home-use is a right, by law. if industry uses technology to make copying impossible, they are infringing MY rights. Since I am not a lawyer, I did not make this up myself.
>Let us know how it goes, and if by some strange coincidence you swell up to twice your normal size and turn green...
if that happens I'll just report myself to seti's team slashdot. Hey! while you guys were looking for signals, we got this green guy.. and it's real..;)
works even better with pot. pot doesn't suffer as much from dehydration as shag (=tobacco for rolling your own cigarette, or a home-rolled cigarette) does.
I was at my local large bookstore, and they carry several distro's (RH, SuSe, PPC, SlackWare and more if you count the books with free CD), and some linux games too (Civ:CtP, MythII). Some apps too... that's Scholtens Wristers in Groningen, NL.
They're renowned for having a very well-stocked computer-related section.
I'm not sure, because I can't read the article (stupid to post links that require login without giving a login) but it may well have been worldwide rather than US, which the statistics you quote are. a US survey is meaningless to compare against a worldwide survey.
>No, it's because there wasn't a decent person to vote for, because people like us don't have the resources needed to run for president.
I think you hit the nail on the head here: you need corporate backing to run for presidency in the US. this allows corporations to present you with a choice, and for government it should be people who present the choices. in this way, the already rich can greatly control voting.
hmm.. if source is a blue-print, I think this would only be valid for compiled languages. for interpreted languages, there will never be a 'physical' device or building, i.e. compiled code.
hmm.. strictly speaking you could make cssdescramble.c your signature. RL that is.. a signature is not required to have anything to do with your name, it's more like a password. bring loads of pens though..and no trouble with Other Kids*(c)
Kid A: Wow! I wrote some mail to school! 7 peppers!
Kid B: That's nothing, I scored 8 for mailing mattel about their shoddy quality barbies with missing orifices.
Kid A: Let's go write jack valenti and see if we can get 9!
or:
Hey.. a mail with only the word 'fuckface' scores higher than 'asshole'! cool! it must be a dirtier word!
hey.. the religious guy is right. ask god, i.e. look at what you think yourself.. cut out all the imaginary-guy-in-the-sky crap and it's not such bad advice.

//rdj.. did remember it now..
no, it's piracy. this is a band deliberately trying to screw people worldwide. I don't like that...

this is a malicious trojan these guys are using. if I ever get it, I will mail it to them at BareNaked1@aol.com. May many people do the same.

P.S. Holland, Michigan is quite american...
actually, you WOULD be allowed to compile your own windows. just not distribute it to anyone else.

ofcourse the fact that remarkably few germans, italians and japanese people (0, to be exact) spoke navajo helped quite a bit too.
it's an improved version. if they can't handle being outclassed then that is their problem.

just reverse engineer the protocol and write your own. it's allowed. at least in europe, no matter how hard aol whines.

hmm.. metal.. gives me an idea.. anyone know where I can get a chrome keyboard, black lettering and NO keys with silly pictures of floating windows?
//rdj, uses a +/- 10 year old HP keyboard
they can say you cant reverse engineer, but in europe at least you still can. it's allowed.

any bright insights?

*pat. pending
this will be used by kids:
Kid A: Wow! I wrote some mail to school! 7 peppers!
Kid B: That's nothing, I scored 8 for mailing mattel about their shoddy quality barbies with missing orifices.
Kid A: Let's go write jack valenti and see if we can get 9!

legit vendors? Easy! put 10 random vendors in a row. the one with the highest prices is 'legit'
