Don't force people to fit into your stereotype. I'm a believe in Christ and often support Republicans yet I don't like this law any more than you do. Jesus never wanted the government to interfere into the spiritual life of the people, and I believe the same; it is up to individuals whether to live their lives in a righteous way.
This law seems more geared to preventing children (17 and under? sheesh) from seeing violence. I believe this is a seperate idea worthy of debate seperate from the "you religious people vs. us secularists".
Thanks for the info. I've tried sharpdevelop but it isn't ready for use with GTK, unless things have changed. Also, sharpdevelop was pretty resource heavy...
Very, very well said my friend. For me personally, I would've never tried Linux if it hadn't been for things like OpenOffice and Mono.
The only thing that's stopping me now is a really powerful IDE that's not butt-ass slow (Eclipse). I like VC6 and Visual Studio 2003, which I haven't been able to find yet on Linux.
Perhaps something like the United States government's do-not-call list (https://www.donotcall.gov/), only a systen im which one registers his or her e-mail to not recieve spam.
If you would've RTFA, you'd know that the United States goverment already considered that, but decided against it because rogue spammers would simply look at the list of Do-Not-Spam addresses, and add them to their spam lists as 'verified', thereby turning the whole thing into a Do-Spam-List.
I heard he got his head skinned once. Despite that, he apparently like being stroked on his head, so much that he eventually spewed out with joy. He often hid from others, until we played ball that is; throwing two of them back in forth until he would finally come out to play with orgasmic enthusiasm.
Stallman's "free software for everybody" philosophy is utopian. While it'd be great if all software didn't cost a dime, it's neither dramatic nor heroic when you can't support your family by doing the thing you do best, write software.
Truth be told, services and support cannot always pay for the bills, especially when you're a small company with a relatively small number of customers. Sadly, people like Stallman would rather get caught up in the political melodrama of the idea that "commercial software is evil" than deal with reality.
Actually, DirectX, OpenGL, and other rendering engines used in most games today put a lot of processing power into converting 3d points to 2d screen points (i.e. rendering the 3d scene to a 2d surface).
I really don't think the computational power would be much extra, other than the physical beaming of lights in 3 dimensions rather than 2.
I personally would rather live 50 good, full years, and die gracefully, than live 1000 years dependent on all sorts of pills and not really living life.
$20 says Dr. Reducto will change his mind at 49. Any takers?
Probably got to the point where pop ups from spyware infected computers were making people think twice about windows as an os
Haha. As if people actually knew was an OS was...
The real reason MS hasn't created a spyware blocker? Because peanut galleries like Slashdot would go up in arms about how MS is trying to "take over another market", cry about unfair competition, whine about too much bloat, etc. I mean, just look at how Slashdotters whined and cried like a bunch of 4 year olds this morning when Microsoft announced they were entering the blog publishing realm. When you're Microsoft, it's damned if you do, damned if you don't.
personally, and I don't think the public has a "right" to know everything.
In other words, you believe that people don't have the right to pursue information about this judicial government proceeding. That seems like censorship to me -- here I thought Groklaw were the good guys.
Well said. Being a Republican Bush supporter myself, I must agree that if Jesus were here, he wouldn't support either party, let alone run on either ticket.
As far as physical confrontation, didn't Jesus throw all the tables and tents of the marketers out of the Temple? I think that's pretty physical and in-your-face. At least he would agree with us on the issue of spammers.:-)
Wil Smith and his sidekick Kevin Kline already created it to defeat Dr. Arlyss Loveless's mechanical spider in Wild, Wild West. So you nerds are just making something already invented.
Going along with that thinking, since a new exploit will come out for FireFox within the next 6 months (I too am being nice with the timeframe), FireFox is therefore insecure because most people don't know they need to update their software. Come on man...
Don't get religious about it; it's plainly clear they should've mentioned the fact that these exploits are already patched.

And for your penance, dear Father Harvey, repeat 100 times, with rosary beads:
Google dies! My fault.
Windows dies! Blame Microsoft.
Google is smiling.
Your website goes here
Google deploys their search tool
All is exploited

I'll give those others a try though. Thanks.

One of my main reasons which drive me to move back to asia, for all the gadget glory.
The other reason being your fetish for Japanese midgets, for all the midget wrestling glory.
I based my previous post on the fact that Stallman has been quoted as saying that selling software ought to be considered immoral.

...I have no problem with open source software.
See Joe.
See Joe read an article on Slashdot.
See Joe get excited about NASA funding.
See Joe say bad things about Republicans.
See Joe's ambivalence -- good NASA, bad Republicans.
See Joe's head explode.

Microsoft should make spyware removal software...they've got the knowledge to cut it off at the pass.
"Cut them off at the pass?! I detest that cliché!"
From the article, Pamela Jones of Groklaw states,
