    Doesn't that sound like fun.

    Depends if you're a paedophile or not. I made an earlier post.

    You are posting on /., surely you are not naive enough to realise unsupervised access to the internet is truely unsupervised.

    Kiddie filters are always being got around. Why do they need to check their email at any moment?! Why do they need to access a schedule, can't they remember their school timetable?! Why do they need to update a website from on the go?!

    Children need to be taught value in activities, else they'll live their life thinking everything is easy come, easy go.

    If you don't supervise your children's access to the internet but instead expect a phone company (who want to sell as many services and make your child a 'good little consumer') to do it for you, then that is up to you, not me and not your child.

  4. Censorship... exactly. on UK Mobile Providers Introduce WAP Censorship · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Under 18... UK mobile providers have formed an alliance to block 'inappropriate content' from cell phone users under the age of 18.

    So they can buy and smoke cigarettes, have sex, drink alchohol in a bar (with a meal) and join the army (die for their country), but they can't use mobile phones.

    I'd prefer the sort of solution where under 16s (children) were not allowed internet phones period. What reason can they have to use phones for other than calling people and SMS (text, not pic)? Guess when I was 16 (1995) it was a different age...

    But the phone companies insist on money-grubbing all the services they like while putting a net, with massive holes in it, under the users to absolve themselves of legal responsibility.

    I for one do not appreciate privacy invading garbage to be required before I can use something.

    Then don't use it. Google is not a charity that exists from public donations, they pay real people real money.

    You are hereby declared redundant. The GNAA were a whim, no more than a feather in the hat of PenisBird. TrollKore, a more persistent /. Phenomenon are persistently boring, the same old |ee7 cr4p that has become to be expected.

    Glory lies with the humorous trolls, those that have the skill to satirise falatic posts, those that can truly offend, to an adult that is, not a 1st grader or a retard. So FOAD trollkore (won't miss you), FOAD GNAA (pity about the fake .torrent you posted).

    It is a metaphore to the human condition of 'rage' [aggession].

    None of the violence was real in that context because it is alive and well in the here and now.

    it is a metaphore.

    humans getting infected so quickly represents how quickly some can attack another for a small reason.

    the watching tv represented the original (the kernal) of the creation of the 'rage' - i.e., what we see on TV every day conditions us to the point our anger and rage becomes infectious, and this spreads like wildfire above. See how the humans, in the end, are not much less brutal than the infected. What is the difference between them in the end? One kills another, one wants to kill all others. Genocide.

    IMHO anyway.

  13. Re:28 Days Later is Sci-Fi? on Nobel Prize Winners on Sci-Fi Flicks · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yeah, I'll respond to your heading though not your post...

    28 days is a sci-fi movie but it is a classic plot. It uses sci-fi as an exploration of the human psyche under pressure, alienation, group behaviour.

    As a sci-fi it is entertaining and somewhat thought provoking, but as an analogy to human behaviour (and spot the metaphores: chimps as the origin [of the 'virus' hence of life], waking up in a hospital representing saviour, the exploration of killing, the grouping behaviour representing tryst and anti-trust, the army not being what are expected (saviour but at a cost) and the ending scene as rescue by something 'good' and more powerful a la how religion is portrayed) it is a very strong film.

    A sci-fi film in the greatest tradition, in that it is not actually about sci fi.

    Indeed these 'basic rules' are the tircky part. And hell, lots of countries did it with out democracy (a la Hong Kong etc) because they had strong foundations of law (despite them being undermined by the present HK administration...).

    Just prevent the corporate corruption like is approaching in the US now - rule of law is important, and laws democratic. Not the other way round.
