Damn! I was going to patent this but it sounds like there is some "prior art"...
Try "shopping around on the Internet"!
Or "shopping around on a network of interconnected artificial artifacts" would be more like it. You know, for when they make patent terms infinite. (I.e. extend them retro-actively whenever they are bout to expire.)
"I'm a 2nd generation natural born human. No socket in the back of MY head. Seen the One lately?"

[...] Dr Dan Streetmentioner's Time Traveller's Handbook of 1001 Tense Formations. It will tell you for instance how to describe something that was about to happen to you in the past before you avoided it by time-jumping forward two days in order to avoid it. The event will be described differently according to whether you are talking about it from the standpoint of your own natural time, from a time in the further future, or a time in the further past and is further complicated by the possibility of conducting conversations whilst you are actually travelling from one time to another with the intention of becoming your own father or mother.
Was importing banned in the 1970s as well, or just chewing in public?
Perhaps it was the penalties that were upped in 1992 to 1 year in prison. I thought they were kidding.
In trade discussions between the U.S. and Singapore, chewing gum is one of the issues. They are relaxing it a bit now. Sugar-free gum is allowed with a prescription from a dentist or a doctor.
Another one of those countries I wouldn't want to go to if I didn't have to.
NPR recently aired a story comparing DNA to software
(RealAudio or Windows Media). 'For many, the best analogy for the way DNA works is that it's like a computer program at the heart of every cell. Some of its programming tricks bear an uncanny resemblance to ones the human brain has dreamed up...DNA is [like] spaghetti code because nature has been tinkering with the system for billions of years like a bad programmer.
Did anybody else read this and think: "Realsoft and Microsoft might not be too happy being called bad, spaghetti code programmers!" Eh?
Then I understood that it meant "You can listen to it in RealAudio or Windows Media." But I think my version is more interesting....
Well, they may be control freaks, but there are supposedly "good reasons" behind the ridiculously high penalties. (For example, spitting on the street spreads disease.)
And regarding chewing gum, they had problems cleaning it up. But the ban came in 1992, after chewing gum, stuck on the photo cell of a subway car door, stopped the entire subway system, making thousands late for work. And in the Singapore "ant hill", doing something which distrupts work seems to be the worst crime. (At least chewing gum use "just" has a maximum sentence of 1 year. The possesion of illegal drugs gives you the death penalty.)
What happens when one of the granchildren of Steve Ballmer comes dancing out on the stage, and it really IS a monkey? I retract that. That doesn't require genetic tampering. Tampering is what it takes to STOP IT FROM HAPPENING!

So what is to keep a 4-week old from logging on and disclosing it's address in a toy review? Maybe it is because BabiesRus.com isn't directed at babies, but really sells stolen babies.
but if a child find that putting in under 13 redirects them to disney.com what is to stop then just signing up again and changing their age?

Has this story been sitting in the queue long enough for the poll to be made? No, the poll is almost a week older than the Wired story.
So the new poll people are both pre-scient and don't care about CowboyNeal? Mommy, I'm scared.
Sorry for the dupe. The nesting was showing this and this with the same indentation. I thought nobody had answered.
And if there's one thing slashdotters are great at, it's dissent!!! (yay!!!!)
Nay! I totally disagree with that!
This will end power shortages. We can just launch solar power plants, and download the power using EoIP.
And if there are problems with centering antennae, we could just use IPoAC.

Reminds me of the Joyboard.
But I bet you can't sit and meditate on this one.

Too bad we can't make a poll about who will be the best bounty hunter, because the CowboyNeal option is gone.

Shouldn't that be something like "There are only children under 13"?
