Personally, I think the only way to stop kiddie porn is at the source. What are you doing to do, follow everyone with video cameras until they reveal they are a pervet?
Removing the transport medium will only lead to those involved seeking another medium, and there's always SneakerNet. The thing is, the internet (server based or direct P2P) is not an anonymous communication medium, people are liable, so the source can be more easily found. Providing an electronic transportation medium to them that is making their life easy and removing the kind of back-tracking that could be done in a conventional internet transfer. Sneaker-net takes us back 20 years when there are organised groups which could be infiltrated by law-enforcement. By endorsing FreeNET you make the paedophile's life easier and effectively remove any possibility to trace tem.
But FreeNET helps freedom of speech in China you may ask... Well just punish anyone you find with FreeNET on their computer to death! Perhaps the People's Firewall (sic) could reject packets which appeared to be encrypted (or all non-web traffic, as pointed out earlier). 'Tackhead' made an excellent post earlier.
You are consfusing the age of consent with the age of majority, a confusion the laws themselves often promote.
No, I am thinking of an MPEG of an 8 year old being raped by a sick pervert. I don't want that on my computer. And as you correctly point out, I don't want pictures of kids in the nude being distrubuted in a sexual or perverted context (and hey - that means distributed to anyone but the nearest and dearest of the kid and parents or guardians in a wholesome way).
...I don't want to store kiddie porn on my computer. And that freedom of speech BS - did the kids have the freedom not to be raped?
A shame it comes down to the lowest common denominator, but I'd prefer my internet to be free of laws I disagree with, and to enforce the laws I agree with. A difficult point, which could be summed up as don't break the law, change it.
any finance prof worth his salt will tell you that there's no difference in how you finance your company (ie, debt, equity)
Any incompetant finance prof, that is. The Modigliani-Miller theorem has that premise, but it can be broken down because of tax differences, risk preferences, and of course efficient capital markets. In theory, different types of firm have different optimal capital structures (and in practice there are differences between different types of firm).
If you're interested in the theory then check out the paper Miller wrote in retrospect.
And I did RTFA which said "SCO has vowed to sue a major user of Linux within 90 days, starting from November 18. One of those major users might be Google." So I didn't "heard it here first" either.
That is correct, it does contain a scripting language. But even this means rewriting the bazillion macros we have in our office, something I'd rather not do, nor would any of us, and it would be extremely cost ineffective to switch to OO because it is free but pay a consultant $2k for a couple of weeks work - it's not like we're going to upgrade MS Office in the next few years either.
Now if there were some kind of 'code convertor' which could switch code (the MS and OO scripting languages don't seem too different from an end-functionality or structural perspective) from one language to another, I'd think differently.
Your entry, like the winning entry, does not contain a reference to a season or season related factor, and therefore cannot be considered Haiku, rather faux-couture-haiku.

I am not a QA professional, but my unit had a bit of be-spoke software written a few months ago which has gotten around to being implemented. I had to do the QA/user acceptance tests a month ago. I literally drew the short straw - it sucked. Following instructions - nothing to solve, just doing what was written on a 300 sheet pad, commenting (with a tick or a cross, possibly some more verbose abuse if i was extremely pissed off).
My experience 'only' took a week but was just so mindless - if you do QA for a living make sure you can have some creative/productive input or you risk losing your mind (unless you like mindless repetative 5h17).
It is posted by 'michael', therefore "/. front page trolling" is assured as the majority of his selected stories are seriously partisan (check posting history, he may have stopped commenting after the story over the last 2 weeks, now he justs picks even more selectively).
Check the history and post in refute if you question this, or be a cowardly anonymous coward/mod?

To make something come in italics do <i>TYPE HERE AND IT WILL TURN TO ITALICS</i> (the i ncluded in the <> makes the italic augmentation of the text and the/i in the <> makes it stop; and to make something bold <b>USE THESE TAGS</b> (b tag similar usage to the i). The <a> <i> and <b> can also be nested within each other (please close properly or Netscape 1.x or Slashcode may not be able to render correctly).

I think Yahoo uses a variety of FreeBSD for its server farms.

Why bother with a language that imposes all that other bullshit???
..."Google?" You heard it here first...
I have read verbal diarrhoea other places too.
And I did RTFA which said "SCO has vowed to sue a major user of Linux within 90 days, starting from November 18. One of those major users might be Google." So I didn't "heard it here first" either.
...and does this mean that Intel will be dumping Itanium, which never caught on as expected in the server market[?]...
I'm sure it was an interesting intellectual exercise, and that they learnt a lot.

I'm sure a bomb rack would hurt if you dropped it on someone's head.
Conclusive evidence some mods are morons with no sense of irony.
Is that because you'd appear like a psycho causing them to walk away quickly, rather than an association with the phone?
