  1. Re:Windows 7 is dead on US Antitrust Judge Examining Windows 7 Documents · · Score: 1

    that's not really the point is it. here are people stating MS is dead as if it's some kind of fact. linux has a hell of a long way to go, and the sooner OSS crowd see it the better.

    i love how /. proclaim win7 dead, when it will sell more copies in it's first day than the entire market share of the linux desktop.

    unfortunately, not everyone can be taught. lots of people are just duds, the GFC has been great at showing most of them.

  17. Re:Who cares? on Court Reinstates Proof-of-Age Requirement For Nude Ads · · Score: 1

    i don't know if pragmatic about sex is how i'd describe them. they were engaged in such practises before moving to the new world.

  18. Re:Who cares? on Court Reinstates Proof-of-Age Requirement For Nude Ads · · Score: 1
    the age of consent is a rather amusing topic - the prudish pilgrams who founded america did in fact marry off 13 year old girls. in fact through out history in most cultures sexual activity commenced around the age of 13 - 15. if you were 18 and hadn't had children yet people thought you were barren.

    i'm definately not advicating this sort of thing, it was a function of society of the time trying to build up families quickly. if you had a large family you had protection in numbers. but i do think some people really need to get a grip when i see stories about a 15 year old boy having sex with an older woman and she gets convicted of rape.

    ahh the old founding fathers chestnut. don't you think it's pretty pompus of you to assume you know what the founding fathers were thinking hundreds of years ago, not to mention inaccurate?

    we don't need anymore people making rules for us or telling others how to raise their kids. i grew up on doom and wolfenstien3d and it didn't make me (along with 100,000's of others) damaged goods. i suspect there is nothing wrong with the cartoon style violence depected in video games. next you'll want to ban bugs bunny because he is depected in acts of violence against elmer fud.
