Never mind the continual selling of "ganstas and hos" as some kind of ideal. Btw, anyone recall the uproar when a stripper pole made it into the kiddie toys section of some store?
I recall bumping into a german advert image for orange juice some years back. If it had not been framed by the poster the way it was, i would not have thought about it much. The image was two pre-teen girls in leotards, clearly members of some gymnast club, demonstrating their skills. The idea was to make a link between active/healthy living and orange juice.
I would replace illegal with objectional, as laws are not ordained from on high. Laws are human constructs and so are bound to be flawed and needs constant reevaluation with changing circumstances.
Crazy thing is, they do not suddenly wake up one day and go "hey, i can manage risk". The balance the good and the bad, one need to experience (or at least be familiar with) both. But certain parts of the world seems hung up on keeping their kids pristine and innocent forever.
And this is how the pedo bear meme got started. Someone had a fridge horror moment about a perfectly innocent cartoon/anime bear character, mentioned it on 4chan, and the rest is history...
Norway also had a fair share of money already sunk into the development of the F-35. I would love to see the Norwegian politician that would proverbially burn that money by opting for an alternative (tho he or she may get my vote).
I said hard, not impossible. For instance, i wonder how many iTunes users know exactly where the program stores the audio files on the local computer (if they even use iTunes these days and do not just get it directly via wlan or mobile data).
And there is a continual complaint that Android users are less spendy on apps.
On more recent Android versions, simply long pressing the home button will bring up a list of in ram apps. From there they can be closed easily. Note that Android will tell apps to clear out once the ram gets tight (starting with the least used ones), but the process of doing so will be less than instant.
Apple handle it a bit more draconically more like it.
Only a very specific set of app types can request to be backgrounded, and the conditions are strictly checked during the app approval process. the rest can be dumped from ram at any time after the user have hit the home button, and so are expected to dump state on said button press.
Android only tells apps to dump state once ram fills up, starting with the app that has spent the most time idle.
Funny thing is that i think Nokia got on the bad side of US carriers because they included a SIP client around 2k, and refused to let said carriers disable the feature via carrier custom firmwares.
I find myself wondering how many of the Razr owners also carried a iPod. and that when the iPhone launched, they replaced two devices with one. I suspect iTunes would make such a transition mostly painless, sync the iPod one last time, then sync the iPhone and be on your way.

Dude, walk away from the game theory articles and the Rand books. Thanks.
5 years do not automatically give maturity of the experiences during that time are meaningless in the context.

Insightful, really /.?
But how to get that experience when society isolate them from all that is "spooky"?
This brings into discussion the definition of mature. Giving responsibilities to kids early seems to bring about more mature behavior for instance.
Never mind casting 20-somethings in the role of high school students to get around work time limitations.
Hell, the requirements for ass and rack are not even universal.

Sadly it may well be hiding out in a boingboing comment for all i recall.

Ah yes, the 100 song Rokr.
Ye deities, is my time memory that corrupted?!

Also, once your into the ITMS ecosystem it is hard to get back out...
I wonder how much this will change with the introduction of media content into the Android Market tho.
i think you forgot a (barely) there.

Heh, i stand corrected.
No wonder that Aspergers seems more and more like a illness...
