the inherint flaw is that you are assuming a slashdotter can get a date. Further more, you assume that what dates they can get are desirable for sexual relations... ewwwwww
I don't know too much about this particular virus, but I have my doubts that it's contained in an exe : "In addition, it uses a particularly nasty flaw in Microsoftâ(TM)s Internet Explorer program and its implementation by Microsoftâ(TM)s Outlook e-mail reader that allows the virus to infect machines whenever a victim simply previews an e-mail message loaded with the program." Maybe I'm wrong, but an exe isn't executed when you just preview the email, but what do I know.
fine, then. I will . . . one-one-thousand, two-one-thousand. Sendo?! I can't beleive those Needle-nosed, insatiabley greedy BASTARDS! What they HELL are they doing envoking PATENT LAWS?! Those worse-than-pigs fags! I hope they choke on their own paperwork for this suit!!!....
bodes ill for those of us who dumpster dive for fun. Screw the piracy and patent issues, I'm concerned about the negative image us dumpster diver enthusiasts will receive
Like the time I stole the magnesium strips from the chem class and lit my dads car on fire. I said it was the chem teachers fault, but NOOOO, somehow it was MY fault. Damn system fails again.
The difference is really who wants to sell it. I think, and don't quote me on this, that a minor has virtually 0 rights in US law. Therefore, it should be up to the PARENTS, or those with LOCOS PARENTIS, to enforce those laws. Movie theators, IIRC, are only doing their enforcement voluntarily, and most do so to avoid angry parents. Not that the employees enforce the rules most of the time.
Personally, I am against the barring of purchasing either, only the parent should decide.
But then there is economics. Lots of older people buy movies, teens buy the most games.
Maybe I'm a freak, but violent games never caused violence in me. My gaming is kinda the opposite of my philosophy, I play violent games, but I have never supported violence of any type. In fact, I am arderntly against any form of violence. Therefore, I really do blame the parents. If parents would just instill some MORALS into their kids, the violence would definitely be minimized. And that doesn't even mean you need to spend a great deal of time with your kids either. I'm a latch-key kids, and I practically raised my little brothers and sisters. But what time my parents did spend with me, they spent teaching me right from wrong, and just expressing their love. That's all it takes, but people seem incapable of just that.
From what I've seen, it's that parents don't correct their kids soon enough. Maybe I'm just a sadistic bastard, but a parent sometimes needs to resort to some less than savory method to correct their kids (spare the rod and spoil the child and all), but most parents don't seem to want to get their hands dirty with the nitty-gritty of being a parent.
Not to beat a dead horse, but I feel safe in saying that the only reason why games get so much bad attention is that parents want a scape goat, an easy way out of responsibility. Perhaps responcibility is a concept long lost to most American parents these days, and the ones that do try to take responsibilty do so by censoring out the world. This in itself is, imo, flawed in concept and dangerous for the child. A child whom is given options will, with positive assistance and advice fromt he parents, make better decisions. From what I've seen, the most violent children are children whose parents were over protective. It is their insatiable urge to be freed from the bounds of their parents that seems to drive their violence. This, of course, doesn't call into account the poorer groups in society, where violence stems from much more conviluted sources, but its the middle class that purchases the most games.
I know that some children shouldn't play violent games because it does increase their violent behavior. as much as i love FPS, i accept that some people are too impresionable for them. The trick, as I see it, is to instill maturity and decision making skills into the child, and to remind them that you love them. After that, it is up to them to find their way in life. I know that I've made mistakes that could have been avoided, but I've learned through trial and error that violence is wrong, and society is better without it. And I feel that is everyones goal, to build a better society. To do so, you must teach your child how to make decisions, not to make them for them. Leave the games alone, let them choose whether or not they want to play them, and don't be afraid to punish them when their behavior gets out of line.
What I love about notebooks is observing the inevitablity of entropy. My history notes start out uber oraganized and informative and then slowly degrade to the point where there is one illegible sentence per day. Finally, the notes stop all together and I just sleep in class. Damn you third law of thermodynamics! you win again.

carrier pigeons of course! the best way to utilize the air waves without wasting those precious radio waves.
Three cheers for dockers! Now, if only a broke ass stoner like me could afford some.
i don't know man, 12 procs still sounds like a lot of resources to me :p

My question, Is Eudora safe?

State laws vary, some make garbage private property, but most make it where garbage on the curb is fair game
If that were the case, then you couldn't sell your old movie collection at a yard sale.
no, the moldy bread acts as penicilin.
on a more serious note, we try to avoid any dumpsters with food in it.
