"The basic strategy now is to keep as little historical information as possible," said Anne M. Turner, director of the library system.
I hope they do this at my library... then they won't have a leg to stand on for those 5 books and 2 videos I have had out since August, 2000... since they couldn't tell me what they were, how am I to know whether or not I took them out... This could be the best policy ever!!! Any chance of Blockbuster adopting this policy?
Don't think that they didn't try... but he didn't want to start being type cast because of his role in Batman... Now look at him. I say better to be type cast than not cast...
If your God is supposed to have made us in his own image,
Yes, the Bible says that we were made in the image of God. Did you ever think that the passage was actually talking about us being made to look similar to God? Why would he do that? I don't know, you'll have to ask Him! Why would he give us free will to choose to not choose His ways? I can't be sure about that either, but I would have to assume that it is because he wants us to choose Him. He wants us to have a relationship with Him because we love Him, not because He makes us.
why do you think that his rules run completly opposite to our basic nature?
I wasn't always that way. He didn't always have rules for us to follow (with the exception of not being allowed to eat from ONE tree. We (humans) couldn't even follow one rule. He gave Adam and Eve the free will to choose to follow God. They chose to do the ONE thing God told them not to, hence bringing humans death (and several other consequences including God's Law).
If God thinks sex is so bad
I must have accidentally torn those pages out of my Bible. Can you please quote to me where it states that God thinks sex is bad? Or were you speaking on something of which you do not know about? The only time sex is referred to in a bad way are:
Outside of marriage
When sex is referred to between people of the same sex(please don't flame, if you want to discuss this one more, email me)
why do you think that his rules run completly opposite to our basic nature?
Refer to the statement about freewill...
Perhaps instead of struggling to give up your pr0n habit you should instead be struggling to give up your habit of blindly accepting superstitious beliefs.
Now I have not gone attacking your beliefs, have I? These are the set of morals that I subscribe to. I am not asking you to fully convert your thinking to mine. I am merely answering someone's question as to who would use this. (Ok, so the actual question was who would think it would work... short answer anyone who goes through the same struggle I have outlined)
If you wish to discuss my religion, I suggest we do not flood/. with our discussion. You are welcome to email me at the email address I linked to previously.
There are actually people who want to STOP looking at pr0n, but the temptation and availability and ease of covering your tracks is too much for them to handle. So this is an ideal solution for those people.
It happens quite often really. I would pay for it. Now granted, most people that I know that would use such a service volentarily are christians who struggle with pr0n (such as myself).
You misunderstood. I am not condoning wiretapping unless it is known that the person is conducting illegal activities over the phone (i.e. an informant agrees to first have his conversation with the suspect recorded, and that evidence would be enough to obtain a warrant for the suspects phone to be tapped.)
How can for compare a laptop PC to a PDA? I certaily hope my PDA doesn't have a 12.1" screen or a full sized keyboard sticking out of it (although you can buy one to plug into it) 20 gig hd? nope, but you don't need that much with your PDA (unless you're using it as an MP3 Player too).
It like Sunkist selling thier oranges saying: Our oranges are orange and juicy... apples aren't. Our oranges are great for making orange juice... apples are not. Our oranges taste like oranges... apples do not.
Child Pornography: 1. Child Pornography sites are most usually hosted over seas where you can get away with such things.
2. The US Law Enforcement agencies can do nothing about this because they are out side of the juristiction of the US.
3. The web sites CLEARLY contain material that is illegal in the US, and should not be available to its citizens.
Terrorists: 1. Sometimes located with in the US, sometimes not.
2. The FBI, CIA, NSA are would probablly be pretty interested in having a wiretap on the KNOWN terrorists phone.
3. The terrorist would eventually be arrested (even if he were over seas he could be indited (spelling?) for conspiracy to commit an act of terror against the US (Not sure of what the actual termanology would be)).
I wouldn't mind at all if child porn sites were blocked from even being on the network in the US from the major Internet Hubs.
do you think it would have prevented a 747 flying at 450 mph into a building
We'll never know. But I do know that with the new security standards in airports and on air craft it is much less likly to happen again? Do you want us to wait until some nut exploits another one of our security flaws until we do something about it? Will we ever be completely secure? No, but let's not use that as an excuse to not try.
Would people not get up in arms if IE or Windows had a security flaw that MS knew about but did nothing about it? Answer, Yes... It happens on/. all the time. But they will never be 100% secure either... so why don't they stop putting out security patches.
I understand no offense was intended, but I do disagree with you.
I think it would be rather selfish of us to think of only ourselves. I mean, think of it, on 9/11, did you think to yourself, "Thank goodness it wasn't me on one of those planes. I know this could have been prevented with tighter airport security, but that would have inconvienieced me. I certainly hope they don't start tightening airport security now."?
So many people complain about how inscure Microsoft software is, but then complain about our country making it's self more secure. Personally, I'd rather have a secure country than secure software...
Hmmm... let's ban all things that could potentially be used as weapons against us:
Guns of all kinds (including potato guns, bb guns, and paintball guns), scissors, knives (including butter knives), forks, spoons, sporks, fans, cars, boats, planes, rocks, trees, food (it could get poisoned ya know), and air as it can be used to deliver biological agents.
Of course, I am being sarcastic, but how far are we going to take this? I understand that we have to be careful in these post 9/11 times, but where do you draw the line?
The courts don't pass bills. Congress and the senate vote on bills to submit them to the president to ask him to sign them into law. If the president does sign the bill, the Supreme Court then looks it over to make sure that it doesn't violate the constitution.
The courts decide on cases in which attorneys can then argue case law by citing that specific case.
Slashdot Mirror
Here is an auction on ebay that has a better shot of the box front.
As an aside, isn't Nuon just a feature of some DVD players that so few DVD's took advantage of that it tanked? Slashdot refence here
Slashdot truncated half of my post...
It was supposed to say:
You can purchase the QBASIC Programming for Dummies from bn.com.
You cannot purchase this from BN.com. It clearly says that it is not available. And the same goes for Amazon.com.
However you can purchase 1 used copy, but you're not really buying it from BN.com
You can purchase the QBASIC Programming for Dummies from bn.com.Amazon.com.
BTW. Why is Slashdot posting book reviews for out of print books... Wait for a re-release
I hope they do this at my library... then they won't have a leg to stand on for those 5 books and 2 videos I have had out since August, 2000... since they couldn't tell me what they were, how am I to know whether or not I took them out...

Keaton was the best. They should have kept him.

expect to receive a long "all expenses-paid" stay in a state or federal prison!
a.k.a.: Pound me in the ass prison.
