for the same reason we don't allow kids to buy pornography, for the same reason we don't allow kids to buy cigarettes, for the same reason we don't allow kids to buy alcohol, we shouldn't allow them to go to stores and buy video games
Yes we really should apply the same rules to a (fun) poison and a carcinogen
that we do to porn and videogames.
2.5 million is HUGE numbers. In Haiti thats like a 3rd of the population. I might hate enterprise but Jesus christ give it a break with figures that high.

Don't forget that aside from companies choosing to go naked, bloggers are also pulling down their companies pants in public and feeling the repercussions.
That pretty much sums it up - blogging for a feeling of self importance. Blogging turns people into serious attention whores.
And so what? I'll admit that I'm an attention whore on my own blog (notice the attention whoring link) but I'm not making you click the link and read it. If people have a place to vent their thoughts and feel like they matter, what's the problem?
We need better blogging out there, not more of it!
Well, assuming that the quality of blogs is a bell curve, then more blogs means we get more quality blogs -- they're just harder to find. What I think we really need in a better way of finding the worthwhile blogs.
That took me to the count of 63 seconds to linkify. That includes 2 previews for the forgotten [BR] tags and removing the spaces you added to the links.
But I trust you fully enjoyed those 63 seconds of quality time at home.
My idea (and I'm completely serious, I think this would work if it caught on!) is to get people to use IM and chat room clients that check the grammar and spelling of anything they type, and then refuse to transmit anything that's incorrect. People will over time develop impeccable linguistic skills!
They just pimped a new Sony camera that you'll see next month, yet you were being nice... Personally, that doesnt bother me, cause it doesnt feel like advertising.
Now that to me is the worst kind of advertising there is. I live in London (might as well shill my blog in a story like this one) and I take photos for tourists all the time. But if I ever found out that one of them was just trying to expose me to a new product, I'd be very upset. What right does mega-corp have to take advantage of me being a nice guy?
Does anybody else who is under 30 still write in cursive, other than when they made you do it in elementary school?
I'm 23 and I use both print and cursive. I use print for anything that someone else will have to read (very rare) or for things people make me write that I don't really care about (taking notes in class). Cursive is used for things I want to write. For example, all the first drafts of my London Journal are done in cursive in a notebook I always keep on me.
In science, an animal is a chimera if the cells throughout the animal are from two different animals. This is accomplished by mixing the zygotes (see the geep). You don't get a chimera through organ transplant.
Yesterday I fantasized about a generator of matter... So I fantasize about it at work and what do I see in the Wired News newsletter? 'Any product, any shape, any size -- manufactured on your desktop! The future is the fabricator.' Heh.
So what? You think you're the oracle just because you had an idea that manypeople had before you and coincidently saw a magazine article about that same idea?

Before you jump to conclusions why not try reading it first?
Because that isn't as fun.

So why shouldn't I be allowed to voluntarily enter into a contract that restricts my own speech? Should I not be allowed that freedom?
For the same reason you shouldn't be allowed to enter into a contract that makes you a slave.

They could probably use more mirrors for the 22MB movie.
You could do something useful and make a torrent before posting the story to slashdot.

I believe in a kind and loving God. Keeping that belief is hard usualy because of the acts of man. Let the flames begin.
Can someone explain to me why religious people seem to think they are some sort of repressed minority?

"People don't understand that time is hydraulic," he said, meaning that time spent on the Internet is time taken away from other activities.
Perhaps it's because hydraulic is a stupid word to use in that sentence.

Not at all since the reproductive cells are not affected.
