A big reason it is not an option for some is that they got in the habit of watching porn every night and so aren't driven by hormones to overcome shyness.
Looking at porn every once in a while isn't going to hurt a kid. But if you let them watch porn in their bedrooms every night, they'll never be driven to talk to girls, and next thing you know their a 30 year old virgin slashdot poster, and Gord knows, no one wants that. You have to limit the porn enough to force them to talk to girls.
Yes...teenagers have needs. But honestly, do you want your teenager talking to girls, or spending an hour every night looking at porn?
The important bit in parenting is steering your children into good habits. Looking at the odd dirty picture is not a problem. Forming the habit of using porn as your primary source of sexual gratification is.
Yeah, that's irritating too. I've got games I really liked that just don't work at all. (Especially games written in the mid nineties, just before Windows, when they were really stretching memory usage. I'd kill to play XCom Apocolypse again.)
I've really been enjoying my PS3 because I just put the disk in and it works.
What I plan to do: "Hi Son! I'm not going to filter your access. However, I have access to the router logs, so I suggest you don't go anywhere you don't want me to know about."
This is why, after being a PC gamer for 20 years, I recently bought a console.
I got sick and tired of copy protection fucking up my machine, or refusing to run a valid copy because it didn't like my disk. (Medieval Total War and Diablo II being two games in particular that simply would not run on my hardware without a CD crack.)
Having to upgrade hardware every couple years was annoying, but it's all this crap heaped on me, who is trying to pay real money for games that pushed it over the edge. I'm sure I'm not alone. And yes, I know that Console games are protected too...but for console games, it's transparent to the user.
Note that I also paid for "Galactic Civilizations II", which was not protected, and the expansion will be the only PC game I purchase this year.
On the other hand, the best high-school science teacher I had, the biology teacher who helped me get a 5 on the AP bio test (and whose class had the highest average AP score in the state), was the basketball coach, and had no extra science training.
Not if you call me. Often as not, I won't answer the phone. My job requires concentration. Answering the phone has to be done *right now*, and thus breaks my concentration. Every time I have to answer the phone, I lose productivity.
Perhaps you should 1) get an email program that doesn't crash and 2) learn to write well enough to show off communications skills in text.
There's a huge gray area. Obviously the EA edits are unethical. But what if, for example, EA had edited the entry for "Medal of Honor" to include detailed specs on the weapons used in the game? In some ways, I'd think Wikipedia would want to encourage edits by people involved as long as those edits aren't self-serving.
However, YouTube could probably claim that since both gentleman work for the company making the videos, barring explicit contradiction, their statements implied that such use was licensed.
I *did* short it...back in 2003, but sold in 2004. Made a chunk of cash doing so, too. I'd have made more cash if I'd kept those shares until today, but it took a long, long time to get there and so in the end, it would have only been a marginal investment had I kept it longer. Basically, the stock didn't move for three years as the only people holding onto it were hanging on for dear life, hoping for a miracle.
The investment community decided that the case had no merit in 2004. You can see that in the stock price. SCOX has been a shitty investment in either direction for years.
I have the pelican adapter. With Guitar Hero, it works flawlessly, allowing the game to be played just as on a PS2. With Guitar Hero II, the controls are slightly different. The most annoying bit is that you hit the select button to go into "Star Power". This is more difficult than just pulling the controller up.

It's just like candy. I don't keep much candy in the house, so my son only gets it for treats. This is helping him to develop healthy eating habits.
I don't mind if the kid sees the odd dirty picture. But constant use of porn is like constant use of candy. Empty calories.
You think I'd care?
My wife's not a stupid woman. She knows this.
A big reason it is not an option for some is that they got in the habit of watching porn every night and so aren't driven by hormones to overcome shyness.
I'm saying that it's a lot more fun to look at a live naked woman than a digital one.

Exactly.
I will know he's using Tor.

How does an instant messenger demand your attention? I regularly put IMs in the background when I'm locked into an issue that needs my full attention.
The only issue was the former cow-orker who would call me on the phone and when I didn't answer, would immediately IM "u there? i want to call".

There's one huge difference. Howard Roark was an asshole.
What Woz brings, as he essentially tells the journalist, is a name that attracts journalists and gets them to write articles on the subject.
No way! They'll just replace him with Craig Kilborn and just keep raking in the cash like when before Jon Stewart joined!
However, YouTube could probably claim that since both gentleman work for the company making the videos, barring explicit contradiction, their statements implied that such use was licensed.
They will likely try to show that both Colbert and Stewart encouraged the posting of Youtube videos and that therefore implicitly granted permission.

They might be intentionally reducing the clock speed to prevent reduced game performance.
Being able to load Linux on an iPod is hardly a "feature". It's a cute party trick that is utterly useless for anything real.

Yes. But that's not the point. The point is that the suit still exerts pressure.
