I have a friend who burns his fingerprints off with acid, and keeps them blank. He is starting to look less paranoid and more intelligent. This is quite scary.
So? Gates owns quite a bit of Apple stock. He has an interest in seeing Apple succeed. He also hase an interest in seeing Apple continue to be viewed as competition to MS: It keeps the anti-trust lawsuits at bay. Whichever company wins, Gates wins.
"Always assume the gun is loaded..." No. Assume nothing. The gun is loaded. Even if you check by sight and touch and see that there is no ammunition in the gun, the gun is loaded. ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED. Until the gun is in pieces being cleaned, it is loaded.
Orwell's 1984 introduced the concept of doublethink as a bad thing. This is not always the case. For proper gun safety doublethink to convince yourself totally that all guns are loaded is needed.
These four rules, if followed explicitly, will guarantee firearms safety. Memorize them and heed them. Always!
* All firearms are loaded. - There are no exceptions. Don't pretend that this is true. Know that it is and handle all firearms accordingly. Do not believe it when someone says: "It isn't loaded."
* Never let the muzzle of a firearm point at anything you are not willing to destroy. - If you are not willing to see a bullet hole in it do not allow a firearm's muzzle to point at it. This includes things like your foot, the TV, the refrigerator, the dog, or anything else that would cause general upset if a hole appeared in it.
* Keep your finger off the trigger unless your sights are on the target. - Danger abounds if you keep your finger on the trigger when you are not about to shoot. Speed is not gained by prematurely placing your finger on the trigger as bringing a firearm to bear on a target takes more time than it takes to move your finger to the trigger. Negligent discharges would be eliminated if this rule were followed 100% of the time.
* Be sure of your target and what is behind it. - Never shoot at sounds or a target you cannot positively identify. Know what is in line with the target and what is behind it (bullets are designed to go through things). Be aware of your surroundings whether on a range, in the woods, or in a potentially lethal conflict.
The fifth, unwritten, but implied rule is: Take nothing for granted. Check everything by sight and touch.
Tragedies could be avoided if everyone involved with firearms followed these rules all the time.
As an aid to memorization, especially by young people, my friend Duane Hufstedler has put the 4 Rules to verse. They can be sung to the tune of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic."
A gun is always loaded--it's a weapon not a toy.
Cover nothing with the muzzle you're not willing to destroy.
Keep your finger off the trigger 'til the mark your sights are on.
Be sure of your target and everything beyond.

Their goal is to increase profit for their stockholders. Their strategy is to make people like them and use their services. Not through lock in, but through the utility of these services and the good things they are known to do with their power. That gets them plenty of customers, and thus they have more profits.
"P2P is basically publishing. Why should you be allowed to publish my stuff, if I hold the copyright?" THAT is a troll. P2P is a technology that can be USED to publish thnigs, but P2P is not needed to publish, and P2P does not have to publish unauthorzed works. I agree that piracy is wrong, but banning the methods that allow piracy is also wrong. Banning ships to stop (real) pirates would be a perfect example.
Why? Take one alarm clock. Tape a bag to it. Insert some socks and your keys. Enjoy searching for the extradimensional space to which it has dissapeared, yet can still be heard from.
No. I want an alarm clock that stops only if it is hurled hard enough. If I hurl it hard enough to turn it off, I'm probably awake. If I don't it wakes me. As a side effect, I get to toss the damned thing.
Yes, but a system where you get dupes (followups) linking back to the originals (fark doesn't do this) would let each dupe have twice as many potential ad views (esp. given slashdotter's tendency to click on every link in an article.)
True, but with the volume of potential nerd news articles eliminating the dupes could cause more customers. Fark has a good system: No dupes, (well, not many) but they do have "Follow Up!" tags. Just add that, and people will read both the new article AND click to go to the old, viewing yet another set of ads.
...But a cute dupe. Nice littly fuzzy hamsters making music.
Slashcode needs a system to detect dupes. Here is what I propose:
All submissions will include a link to the "article text." This is the primary link in the submission: what the/. article is about.
These links will be kept in a database. Any time an article is submitted to slashdot its primary link will be searched for in the database. If found, the article will be flagged as such (NOT automatically rejected, someone might notice something new about an old document (probably legal or similar) or some such.)
Now to go off and learn to program, so I can add that into the mess that is slashcode... ugh.
I always read the section headings. Look for the important ones (privacy, liability (normally none,) etc. Skim, basically. It's an easy way to get a pretty good idea of what the EULA says.
"Do you think it's perfectly fine and moral to publish child pornography?"
Hmm. Not to create it. That's child abuse. Possession and distribution, however, are different. No children are being abused by pre-existing pictures. So there is one argument left: that pedos having child porn are more likely to try abusing children than pedos without it. That is, that the CP is an incentive and does not act as a release. I think that this is normally the opposite of normal porn, but one can't be sure without studies that could be risky to perform. Banning its creation is excellent, but I'm not sure mere possession should have a penalty, other than marking the posessor as one sick bastard. Perhaps registration as a (potential) sex offender, but not jail time.
The creation should ALWAYS have SEVERE jail time. If the child was actually raped, I'd advocate the death penalty. FYI, rape is one of the few things I advocate death for anyway, child rape is even worse.
The question I have is about Australian vs US law. In the US it is illegal to report a crime. Is it so in Aus? If yes, the legislation is not needed, if no, why not? Wouldn't that make things far easier, and not require every law to have a second law mandating reporting?
A buys a full jug of milk along with a milk card. for $15, and a milk card buying certificate. The card entitles him to free refills for $15 per month, the certificate allows him to buy milk cards.
B buys the jug off A but has no way to get milk card certificates. If A gives B the Milk card, B still can't be sure A can't take the card back.
The jug alone is just an empty sad jug. (retail box).
C, the company that made the system, said that anyone can sell their jug and card and certificate, but won't allow the new owner to use the certificate.
B can't get a new milk card, can't reasonably be expected to use the old milk card, and has a worthless jug.
Would allow? Look at Freenet. Tons of porn, yet also tons of interesting discussion about social taboos. The content does tend towards that which is normally restricted by society, but this is likely because normal content can be posted on the regular internet without fear.

I used MP3 until Ogg Vorbis became viable. Now I only use MP3s to avoind re-encoding, and the associated quality loss.
Google shows plenty! A good pair of headphones work too.
It shouldn't be. Wiktionary should have word definitions, wikipeda is an encyclopedia, not a dictionary.
This is the wiktionary.
