The whole idea of copyrighting something 1000s of years old
just seems absolutely ridiculous. It doesn't seem legal
either, at least not in the somewhat-international
copyright system.
I miss the days when the purpose of a museum was to
showcase artifacts that would benefit man's knowledge of
history. It's sad that it's become just shopping mall/tourist
trap/circus show with a cover charge.:(
I love the irony in the implication that you consider it perfectly acceptable to physically abuse somebody to force upon them your own completely irrational interpretation of "morality".
See, my definition of "moral" behavior includes not beating on somebody smaller than you for no good reason. But that's just me.
I'll have to respectfully disagree with you then. There is nothing wrong with swift, corporal punishment. "Abuse" is hardly the word for it. But then again, I am not a social worker, or nanny shrink, and my conservative viewpoints don't follow slashdot's typically liberal stances. My apologies.
I bet this little girls won't be "sexting" any more! It's sad to see that these kids didn't get charged, but it's a good thing they've been (at least) taught a lesson. I wish it was their parents weren't the one teaching it to them in this case. I wonder why criminal charges were not brought up against the parents for this? The parents should be held responsible for failing to teach their kids morals, and what responsibility and accountability means. If this was my kid, he/she would never own a cell phone again, and wouldn't be able to sit for a week.
Heck, if prostitution moves entirely online, it'll be a good thing. The "bad image" caused by streetwalkers and such will go away, since the actual "marketing" of services happens invisibly online, and those involved can meet up in private.
It'll make law enforcement easier. It's far easier to track someone online that in real life, at least in the US it is.
Liver and Onions...love the stuff. Hopefully this means I can now get a green/environmentally-friendly/low-glycemic/soy-based/fair-trade version of liver, and a California tax rebate! We'll see...
Every time I go grocery shopping at the local Food Lion, I hear the Intel jingle played every 5 minutes mixed in with the ambient obligatory background music. That's Pretty scary if you ask me.
Fortunately, my Jedi mind powers are strong, and I can resist such subliminal messages!
I felt this all-weekend pain when trying to setup spamassasain. There didn't seem to be any mention of using it *without* sendmail/qmail/postfix. Because I wanted to use my ISP's SMTP/POP3 servers, and freshmeat searches came up nada on (functioning/completed) pop3 proxies, I ended up writing my own pop3 proxy in perl out of frustration. Funny though, that's how most of my projects begin...;)
I'm predict a future website that lists tech-unfriendly airports, a sort a map of airports to avoid.
I can probably guess that "The Man"(tm) will try and shut it down, because of "National Security" reasons.
Maybe I should make my own list....?
hmmmm..

Yeah, no one is really being hurt by this.

Jefferson Davis was a much better president. ;)
Increase your venison consumption. Studies show that increased hunting decreases deer trying to each your porch plants. Some good recipes to get you started: http://allrecipes.com/Recipes/Meat-and-Poultry/Game-Meats/Venison/Main.aspx :P

They spend 6 billion euros on a big LHC, but still no cure for cancer.
Looks like the computer command prompt from "Lost", complete with a countdown timer.
I think assembly programming would be a better match for beginners rather than BASIC.
;)
Personally, I find assembly programmming much more rewarding than anything else, except for maybe C and cold beer.
1. Easy to learn (with time)
2. Instantly Gratifying (when writing)
3. Surprising powerful ('nuff said)
There's nothing more gratifying than saying,
"Wow! I just wrote my first low-level instruction set!".
Or,
"Awesome! I just cracked the my first shareware app!".
