People have been pretending to be a different age or gender on the 'net for a long long time. Everyone having digital cams has done away with some of this but in the 90s early 00s it could be a surprise meeting someone from online. Thank god I never ran across a different gender, realizing that a picture someone put up was probably taken 10+ years ago or 150 pounds ago were enough of shockers.
In all seriousness I dislike any legislation that tries to impose morality. You know some books have some nasty things in them, should we bad kids from books? The bible talks about incest and sodomy and having emissions like like a donkey, should I dare let a kid read that? Even Over the Air TV can have some non-kid friendly things on it.
As to technically it's a huge problem. You can't have a walled garden of random users otherwise how would you stop a single parent from using a kid account and breaking the system? If a parent is irresponsible that's their fault, why should I be paying tax dollars for cops to be trolling as 'CuteGirl18' just to ensure someone on the new network wasn't also trolling? Besides in the studies I've read the vast majority of child abuse happens by those the kid is close to and not random internet people. If a parent really wants to lowjack their kids they can already. Disney I think has cell phones the parents can setup to only call numbers they put in, and are GPS trackers. There are various kid friendly software browsers that have been out there for a long time. Netnanny, etc. Solutions already exist let's not make more laws that require more big brother oversight. It's worked so well with the "war on drugs".
Wigle allows you to view from the national level, impressive to see how the world is covered. Wigle is a simple and informative app. Also the google maps integration with wigle seems to be better than the opensignal page. I keep it running while driving, it's interesting to see just nodes you've discovered on the map.
It was explained in a later SW expanded universe book that Kessle is surrounded by black holes so the shortest route is also the most dangerous. All things considered I thought it was a pretty good explanation.
Penn Jillette had an interesting discussion from a talk at google. He said that if christians really believe in the world of god then why, not even in the bible belt, is there no legal defense for "God told me to". These are the places that want 10 commandments on the courthouses but if you go by a 'god told me to' defense you're going to be found insane. Interesting discussion on his book, magic, and other fun stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hY9ODE4TJk
It's actually now being reported as 3 billion. It may grow to over 4 billion by end of the year. But hey what's a few billion to a too big to fail bank like JP Morgan?
I have a Dish DVR for a few years, the non hopper version, and it has had a normal FF and a 30 second button. The downside is you usually end up past commercials and then have to hop back and watch the last commercial or FF through that. It really is easier to just nab things online with the cappers nicely removing all commercials than FFing. FOX's lawsuit is just encouraging piracy. Since Fox corporate has a history of pirating phone messages maybe it's a given they're pro-piracy.
The various animal clubs around here - Lions, Elks, Moose, etc - are basically a way to get together and drink beer. They do some community activities but I know at least the local lions is more of an excuse to get together twice a month for a dinner with the guys. Although this is changing now that our Lions is now co-ed. One downside of being a non-drinker, after awhile at any party there are far fewer brain cells working around you than when it started with.
Perhaps it's time to take our cue from O'Reilly and adopt an oddball animal for a more intellectual social club? Not too smart, the best the regional Mensa does I believe are a few brunches. That doesn't seem all that entertaining.
The local dollar store sells air horns. They don't last very long but for a few bursts they are perfect. I can still be pleasantly surprised by stopping in dollar stores on just what they will sell.
Simple, money and political ties talks. Aspartame sat sidelined by the FDA because of tests showing it was a carcinogen and neurotoxin. Rumsfeld was put in as CEO and he used all his political ties to get it approved. The company was later bought out by.. Monsanto. We have Monsanto to thank that huge percentages of crops are all genetically modified. Since recent studies show that you are what you eat and food RNA can effect your genes the entire genetic modification of base food crops is a little worrying. Millions of years of symbiotic evolution is being altered in ways not even fully understood yet. I'm all for scientific advances but rushing to market and forcing this down people's throats is not a good attitude.
In all seriousness neither party wants to reform Wall Street. They're so far in bed with the banks that they wouldn't do anything to hurt business as usual.Just look at how the bailouts were actually done, or who's sitting in the Treasury chair.
I've noticed a growing number of in-show ads that really suck. Bones has had a number of 'car' ads that were blatantly bad. Fringe had the Sprint NFC pay-by-phone a few weeks ago. I can only expect this to grow more. Sure it's not a 4 minute break of random ads but it still is an ad that you simply can not fast forward through.
Out of every bond movie, has Bond ever had to sneak into Canada to go after a big bad guy? He could have at least had a meeting at some high stakes Casino.
I ordered 2 for xmas via aliexpress, total cost with shipping was 230. Nice units, the downside was the MIPS processor doesn't have as many apps. It came with angry birds and a spiderman game that costs $5 for an app store purchase and my nephew and niece love them. Well worth the price for me to be the cool uncle.
I went to school at GMI, located in Flint Michigan. At that time there were large billboards with a phone and a word balloon of "911? Hello, anywhere there" advertising about lack of police. GTA police that drive around all over the place and chase you would be an improvement!
I'm surprised Musk/SpaceX isn't involved. Then again why would he want to bother with others, he's got his own rocket company that has proven launch ability - he could mine asteroids as a side project.
I saw a story awhile ago that Facebook increased their line of credit by a few billion to pay the taxes of employees for selling stock. I assume zuckerberg didn't want to pay a billion in taxes. I don't know how that works, you get taxes for making money, the company pays those taxes,which is income from the company, which you end up having to pay taxes on.Of course with over 71,000 pages in the tax code there is probably a loophole to allow this.

Time for an open-karaoke website, upload music for anyone to use.

I've seen horses drink right from a can, no need for a bucket.
You jest but can you even sign up for a social network WITHOUT some email verification?

You had one very interesting GM to allow losing your virginity through D&D. Were there multiple dice rolls or just a simple lookup chart?

Forget the immigrants. I want to know about the illegal aliens.
I know they are lobbying hard to have High Fructose Corn Syrup labeled as Corn Sugar. I won't be surprised when that's allowed on labels.

Romney would also make sure that your hidden swiss bank accounts can stay hidden.

Senator Obama was also against the warantless wiretaps, until it came time to actually vote. Clinton and O both voted for them.

With the largest embassy on the planet and 10,000+ "contractors" we're not out of Iraq.

I didn't see a pic in the article of the artist. Is Canada like the States, where you can be strip searched for anything, even a traffic violation? http://www.aclu.org/criminal-law-reform/aclu-says-supreme-court-decision-upholding-strip-searches-puts-privacy-rights Maybe the police just wanted a private showing of the artist
