The saying that you can "View any movie ever created, and listen to any song ever sang." blew my skirt up. I want to be able to sit in front of my computer or tv for weeks and keep myself entertained with content.
The real truth is, it's just like anything else. People react differently.
I grew up playing video games and watching movies where there were fast driving, fast women, and law breaking. (Smokey and The Bandit *shame*) I grew up, got a car, and proceeded to break laws like crazy flying through the country, where I lived.
About 6 months after I got my license taken away for "reckless Endangerment", my friend gets arested for "Felony to elude a police officer in an automobile". He grew up on the same movies as I did.
On the other hand, I watched action movies just as much as driving movies. I have not shot at anyone, have not killed anyone, have not held up a bank, and am not a fugitive from the law.
When it all comes down to it, it's all about your own moral base. What do you think is right, what do you think is wrong, and what do you just not care either way on.
Banning things with a high demand is silly too. We can see that banning certain drugs has kept the US city streets free of drug users. Prostitution is full under control, there are no murders, and nobody ever speeds.
You would hope that they take great pains to make access to the virii as secure as possible.
But, things like this are very important in the fight to create vaccines to illnesses. Anyone who has taken apart and built a car, computer, or whatever will tell you that thier level of understanding is now MUCH greater than it was before they did it. Knowing how to assemble a virus, will hopefully allow us to defend ourselves against them.
If you can't handle people poking a little fun at you, you're in the wrong business!
If you're in the public view, you're going to have people that want to poke fun at you. if a show as insanely popular as the Simpsons is making fun of you, I'd say it's a good thing.

Congrats Sun.

Glad to see them get press.
Might not be the best, or most factual show on TV, but it's sure entertaining.
It seams like every month there is a new console on the market. This has to have an effect.
Also, with so many people having computers these days, why have a console? Sounds like redundant spending to me.
I agree. Let it be up there until it isn't usefull, or it dies of natural causes.
It might make a nice addition to the Smithsonian though.

Since when did /. reflect truth?
First of all, I have no friends like this. I can't imagine wanting either.
Point being is that just because an "expert" says it's true, does not make it so.
I asked my friend if we should should call then African Americans or blacks. Be said he's been calling them Niggers for 60 years.
Your point is mushy. Try again.
inconsievable!
RevGrub, What's your holl IP my brother? ]:3}> thumper^
If I had Mod points, I'd mod you up. :)
Thanks for illustrating my point better than I could.

Stuff like this makes me love technology.
Practical uses for our tech toys.
In communist Russia, the artical reads you!

I think you're losing site of the big picture here. ;)
Hey, more Hz is good.
They will find uses for each frequency range. Even if not the best, it's a start.
I think wireless networking is the coolest personal computing invention since the mouse.
All the more reason to focus on tranparent security.
If there is a threat of loss of money or freedom by allowing your PC to become hijacked, popular demand will force computers to be more secure.
If people know they will have to pay money, or serve jail time, the public will fall all over themselves to get security products.
Soon, the money will be behind security, and even Microsoft will put out secure OSes.
More demand will demand more supply.
DOH!
Get what I want, but not, all at the same time.
Jeese I'm tired of hearing about SCO.
I wish Moore's law applied to the speed of lawsuits as well.
I'll be happy if they include the barrel shifter, ROTL. I want to stay intel loyal, but it's hard when my ./dnetc speeds suffer so much. ]:3}>
Now if only we could get ROTL back, my RC5-72 speeds on my P4 would keep up with every other cpu out there.
Mindless killing, with awesome graphics. I am excited to be able to fill my desire to digitally kill monsters in such greusome detail!
