Why is an effective distinction not made between the direct application of substances (alcohol, other drugs) and indirect application (pornography, violent video games) through natural processes?
If it is insisted that access be restricted, surely there is some more finely grained way of going about this, is there not?

I look forward to a game where there's less posturing and more ass-kicking. And I look forward to the upcoming formal announcement of the Revolution, and of this title for said platform;)
Also, if I may I interject, I would like to say that the more I see of the Shadow title, the more confidence I have in the title and in Sega to not fuck things up.
The Santa Cruz is an awesome card. The only problem is that the sound occasionally fucks up (1/100,000 times), possibly having to do with a few bits of the documentation that ALSA is unable to obtain for the CS4630 chip. The hardware DSP and mixing is great as well.
Maybe it's just because I live Uptown, where devastating flood waters have not yet appeared (but may soon, due to the 17th St. Canal levee breach), but I say joke on.
It's just that pumping near the critical levee breach of the 17th St. Canal @ Hammond Hwy. has failed, and so have efforts to plug this hole.
Uptown and Downtown have been the only places to avoid devastating flood waters. However, this failure is expected to dump 15 additional feet of water into the city.
That is true that the only thing that matters is how authors get compensated.
This is why I want to see someone try a ransom business model. Imagine this:
An author creates a work. He sets a price, based on how much he thinks his time and effort are worth. He publishes this price, along with some fair-use-compatable sample of the work. People then send in money until the price is met in total. At this point, the work is released in full, under a CC license (or equivalent).
This has several effects, however:
It introduces many points of vulnerability with respect to fraud. This can be solved by introducing a middleman, akin to a brokerage, which can protect both consumers and authors, and can be held liable by both consumers and authors.
It requires an author to establish himself before trying to make a living off of his works. Of course, that's not necessarily a bad thing.
It encourages free-riding. Of course, how can this possibly make this problem worse than the Internet already has?
I have been waiting for the day that Windows rootkits will start compromising the various detection utilities as well, such that the only way to remove the kits is to run read-only from a trusted environment. Then they will all discover how deep the rabbit hole goes. Or something like that.
This is not a troll, because I think that is a sign of forthcoming higher maturity.
I lost all the extensions, and there doesn't seem to be any way to store the extensions locally - it's all "active" content.
Not true. Everything is stored locally. The only problem is that the profiles internally are very complex and are rather prone to corruption. Profile corruption is the intermediary cause in $BIG_NUMBER% of all Firefox breakage. Extensions make this worse.
(I have a sligtly unusual setup - two logins on a single xp install - one for work, one for play. I've set up firefox to use the same profile in the past, but it just takes to freakin long to look up the instructions and re-do all the installs. Sue me, I'm impatient. I want a "use this profile" button.)
This is where playing around with scripting is to your advantage. That, and start saving XPI files (extension installers) locally. This can be done through right click->Save Link As, or by saving through another browser or a file retrieval utility.
participating in a fantasy world. Usually, it's been their own, in their own heads; but now they manifest these behaviors in a public, communal fantasy world, in a way that is widely observable.
Of course, there now are regularly elements that are beyond the control of one person, namely other people; this is where the combination of fantasy and immaturity lead to "bad things".

It is just that easy to be wrong.
Why is an effective distinction not made between the direct application of substances (alcohol, other drugs) and indirect application (pornography, violent video games) through natural processes?

Too badly.
Especially this one.

You insensitive clod! Some of us like the X clipboard-buffer!
Nobody said you had to use it, but it's certainly helpful for it to be there by default.
Thank you for the link. Could you give me a more precise timestamp than "August, 2005"?
I'm convinced that part of the reason that ATI or nVidia will never open their drivers is the amount of voodoo that goes on under the hood.

Shhhhhhh! Don't give them ideas!
Well, then this will be a great test of our "free society." Does it still exist to the extent that this problem can be corrected?
You can start by not being an idiot and negotiating this beforehand.
A: Erm right, I really just wanted to open and print these, is this going to take long?
B: Not at all, as long as you have a broadband connection you can download OpenOffice in a few minutes.
Idea: take a page from MS, and make viewer programs. Except unlike theirs, ours would be cross-platform.

Check the profile. I'm 1000 feet above sea level right now, and hundreds of miles to the east. Yes, my family escaped far before the storm hit.
Though, had I been there, I might have stayed. Ah, the stupidity of youth.

I think their admission standards went up to a 3.0 HS GPA (exemptions obviously still made).
Problem solved, unless you're not on x86.ni-gul
Hrm... well that's a weird bug...
You know, there's a RealPlayer for Linux. It's not that bad either.
Of course, I use MPlayer + mplayerplug-in.
