  1. Re:Nothing new here? on NYT On The Internet And Child Molestation · · Score: 1

    then again having a large internet "marketplace" for child pornography, with a fairly constant percentage of the population being fucked up enough to get their jollies from child porn it can cause less demand for more children to be exploited, as each exploited child satifies the desires of more perverts. now whether this stimulates demand for even more child pornography is debatable.

    big problem I found with dvorak is windows login, i had the keys arrainged physically as dvorak and windows login reverted to standard layout keyboard so i was forced to go get a USB keyboard to login.

    A 1.3 Ghz machine with 1 gig ram is enough to do everything but video editing, throw a decent 8x AGP card in and oyu can play any game out there at good quality. This Cell technology looks like a neat toy, but it will be useless for consumers, what matters now is cutting power consumption and heat loss, making things quieter and cooler will sell a lot more than making things faster.

    Everquest has had Nodrop items forever, but it sucks because then there is no trading of items in game, either you find what you were looking for or you get nothing, in fact the best servers were the Roleplaying-preferred servers where almost nothing was nodrop. This meant the economy was less constrained and you could get decent armor at low level. on the normal servers you had to invest tens of hours every week just to get a piece of shit weapon.

    The right way to prevent sales of armor and gear is to punish those who buy it, as well as those who sell it. Even going as far as having honeypot sales on ebay where the admins of the game sell loot, then ban accounts or strip character stats. Also having some sort of database analysis looking for "unrelated" characters performing a one way transfer of very valuable items and looking for incriminating chat logs. in cases where the sale was discussed over the in game chat system delete the items from the buyer, and ban the account of the seller.

    and thus the reason the conspiracy episodes sucked, they would throw random bullshit at you and drag out an episode or two worth of interesting stuff over months. I LOVED the stand alone episodes and the occasional To-Be-continued

    But seriously the long story arc was more than heavy handed, it was downright tedious. I stopped watching after one particularly horrible and long stretch of the damned alien episodes. I like the stand alone episodes where you could just sit down and get a freaky story rather than the same alien crap over and over.

    And by extention, their right to send spam has been infringed on.

    They have the right to send spam, and I have the right to complain to their ISP over it, just because something is legal doesn't mean you can't get banned for it, there is nothing illegal about trolling but many sites will ban you on the spot for it, and justifiably so.

    it is a form of gambling, the real purpose of insurance is based on two premises.

    1) Most houses/ships/etc. will not be the victem of any sort of catistophic destruction.
    2) The loss incurred by the owner of whatever is destroyed will be devistating.
    Therefore) it is better for people to band together and share the risk than to hope it won't be their house that burns down.

    This is actually one of the major flaws in health insurance, it covers just about everything and thus most people use it at least every few years. A much better system would be insurance against only certain catistrophic medical needs, such as trauma surgery and deadly disease.

    I am pretty sure the NET act would only apply in forced ratio systems, such as high level FTP servers and the old BBS systems where you had to upload stuff before you could download anything. with most p2p it's not trading one file for another, rather freely offering what you have, and other also freely offer, but you could get in trouble if you start banning leechers or running a hub with min shares or min ratios
