I've run XP pro now for about a year with regular updates. The machine blue screens on startup every few boots and some times during regular use. The complaint is usually in regard to a driver. I think the LITE-ON CD-ROM driver (the default windows CD driver) is corrupted for certain modes of operation or time of day (sun spots?). Some CD applications I can almost guarentee will crash XP. Other times it will BSoD for 2 or 3 consecutive boots, then work. Event Viewer shows little to nothing useful. I run Norton System Works (AV, WinDoctor, etc.), SpyBot Search and Distroy, all updated regularly with no obvious problems. One version of ZoneAlarm may have caused some problems for a while, but the latest version seems better.
If I boot into Mandrake 10, I never have problems with the system.
In my work history, I like NT4 the best, except it doesn't do USB out of the box. I've had 2k machines that would never come out of power save mode on a nightly bases, so I resorted to shutting off the machine every night. My Redhat 8.0 laptop at that job was never turned off unless I was bringing it home some weekends. It never crashed (unless I was testing my latest kernel hacks).
Granted my wife and 4 kids use windows a lot more than I do, and they tend to see more problems. However, their accounts don't give them admin rights and only 2 have power-user rights. When I was running NT4 at home I never had this many crashes. My home machines are turned off nightly, so it's not an endurance thing.
Ah! the Christophobe shows through! Listen to yourself "...go molest some young boys, but leave the rest of us alone with your insane laws." This shows you really don't care about others, specifically those 'young boys'.
Actually, it's the euphoria of the ejactulation that triggers the chemical addiction. So, yes it can be a real addiction. The chemicals involved in the brain are not much different from other chemically addictive agents.
The connection to porn is that boys are visually aroused. It can be a static picture or a video clip, the plot or reason has nothing to do with it. They will whack off to Sports Illustrated Swim Suit edition. Definitely no plot there. (Yea, I'm going to spend $70 for a designer thong.) Since porn is a continuum from mild nudity to the most extreme beastiality, all being down with real people, how is an adolescent to draw the line between reality and fantasy? (Humanist forbid we define values and teach them in school!)
So, in the viewing of porn the boy defines an expectation of what sex is like to be enjoyable. But he grows up and gets married and the wife doesn't want to take a load on her face or in her mouth. But all those pictures said that was good sex.
Now he's looking for some 'ho' to do what he wants and brings home HPV. He doesn't have any trouble with it, but his good wife gets it from him and develops cervical cancer.
Long before she even knows she has genital warts (HPV), she gets pregnant and has an extremely painful pregnancy. (But she was lucking to even get pregnant with her HPV as far along as it is.)
But the man is no longer satified with mild porn, he's discoverd all the raunch the internet provides. The old euro beach sites just don't get it up for me like they used to. But that bondage site, no that's exciting. And, my wife now needs a tummy tuck to pull in that extra skin junior stretched out.
Eventually, the wife learns that she has HPV. But how? She's only been with her husband. He finally admits having been unfaithful during that last trip to SuperCON. Their relationship is in tatters, but their baby boy doesn't understand why Daddy isn't around any more and Mommy is always sad.
As junior grows, he visits dad and finds an old Playboy under his bed while dad is in the shower. The cycle starts again.
Are there any victims in this story? This is a typical story heard countless times in counceling sessions as people, realizing the emptiness of there lives, are trying to figure out what to do. They are too proud to admit wrong doing, too selfish to make changes to their lives, but too lonely to like their life as it is. Feeling guilty for the hurt they have caused, but unwilling to humbly seek forgiveness and reconsciliation.
Oh, and junior, he grows up with a man hating mom and know real, good father figure. He finds he is way more comfortable talking to the girls than the boys. In fact he's not even sure what a man is supposed to be. It looks like they are to be hard and mean and careless about others feelings. But, I'm male and need to be a man some day!!! Who will teach me how????
No, you left nuts are to self absorbed to see the victim's of porn. Freedom is power, power requires responsibility. Irresponsibility requires laws, more laws lead to tyranny. Let's view the big picture, not demanding our petty 'rights'. Yell 'FIRE' in a movie theater, then tell me about free speech 'rights'.

With 4 kids my taxes haven't changed, but that child tax credit is great! Thanks America! :)

The fun part would be to mail all the GPS cans to our troops in Iraq. Then see the Coke rep have to go there!
With gas at $2/gal, who wants an SUV anyway, unless you're in the land of oil and cheap gas.
