Thank you for responding like a biased sheep. You don't have anything intelligent to respond with, so you only imply that I'm insane? Sorry, but, but everyone doesn't think like Joe McChristian Sixpack.
If you want to shield them from sex, perhaps you should not have a computer, television, radio, newspaper, magazine, or any other connection to the outside world. You can also blindfold them and lock them in a dark room with their hands tied behind the back. It's for the best-- sex is a horrible, hideous thing. If you see it, run the other way, it's a monster that will consume you.
What is your scientific evidence that suggests porn will HARM kids in the slightest?
If I met the goatse man, I'd say "hi!" and all, ask for an autograph (autographed photo of goatse, probably worth a mint) maybe, but I wouldn't shake it, knowing where it's been.
Really, I don't. I really could care less that he was tricking children. Sex is a fact of life. Hell, anything is, we only set ourselves up to get offended-- I was never offended much by things as a child-- I think it's really blown out of proportion.
I don't think goatse would disturb me any more if I was a young kid. I really can't see why those subjective "sex-is-bad" ideas come from, besides society and religion. I only hear vague "kids aren't ready" bullshit.
HOWEVER, he is cybersquatting, that is, playing off popular website typos to send people to his crap. That's like the mikerowesoft.com case-- although on an even worse level.
I don't care that children saw Janet Jackson's boob on TV (GASP TEH END OF DA WORLD!!!!11) and I don't care if they accidently see "DORM SEX". It didn't disturb or pervert me, and I see no scientific evidence to suggest it'll do the same for kids.
Let's keep our personal morality out of it (this creates problems. FCC guidelines, for example, require "community standards of decency". Oh joy, isn't that just a nice, fine, "freedom-of-expression" friendly phrase?) and focus on the real issue, which is cybersquatting.
You should be modded down for troll. I was simply weighing in my opinion. In no way did I claim this was pure fact. You're a troll, a dumbass, and a worthless human being. I was weighing in what I currently think.
Again, I'll reiterate the topic since you're apparently lacking the intellect to understand it: "Fast growing distro". Not the one with the most users currently. That is, "Fastest growing". And although Mandrake is based in France, it still has a world-wide following.
I am open to criticism of what I say, but there is no reason to attack me. I wonder if you're one of the trolls that feel compelled to stalk me on the internet (yes, sadly, I do have some, you could be from wikipedia, genmay, gamefaqs, or any other shithole on the internet that I've been). So, which is it? Random SlashTroll, or Stalker?
There's really no hard data out there, from what I've seen. I think a slashdot poll would settle this matter better...
My comments are based on what I've seen. What's youre problem? I see people talk about Gentoo and Mandrake far more often than other distros. And, as far as I know, SuSE is more of a European distro than an American one, which is what I'm speaking from.
I don't know anyone who has any interest in Fedora. Let's do some googling:
Fedora - Results 1 - 10 of about 1,330,000 Mandrake Linux - Results 1 - 10 of about 1,850,000 Mandrake - Results 1 - 10 of about 4,200,000 (most of these SEEM to be linux-related...) Gentoo - Results 1 - 10 of about 2,170,000 Gentoo Linux - Results 1 - 10 of about 1,110,000 SuSE - esults 1 - 10 of about 10,400,000 (it might be more popular than I thought, however, I have heard very little about it, and as far as I know it's older) Debian - Results 1 - 10 of about 26,800,000 (Maybe I was wrong about Debian-- still, I hear about Mandrake much more often....) Debian Linux - 1 - 10 of about 4,080,000
Of course, the question is, Which is the fastest growing? The biggest doesn't mean fastest growing. And from what I've seen, Mandrake and Gentoo ARE growing the fastest, especially Gentoo among geeks. Just hop around among message boards.
This post was more aimed at normal desktop usage than servers/corporate usage.
I wouldn't compare a LiveCD to a regular desktop OS. It's its own class, really-- they have different uses and a LiveCD just probably won't ever become as popular as the others.
Knoppix is really just a "hey, look what badass things linux can do! Also, I'm fun to carry around so you can do shit!"
Don't forget that many of those redhat ones are probably older. Two years ago, when I first got into Linux, RedHat was what I used and what many others I knew did, too. Now it seems it's Mandrake.
Gentoo, however, is more for the techies. Your average Joe is becoming more and more interested in Linux, but your average Joe doesn't understand or like long compiling times. It's more for the hardcore geeks who like having well-optimized systems.
Certainly not. You rarely hear people talk about RedHat that much anymore. It was much more popular around 1-2 years ago. Now that RedHat has pretty much left the desktop it's losing popularity to apparently Debian, Mandrake, and now Gentoo.
Mandrake has always been very popular because of its ease of use.
But Gentoo has stepped out of the shadows and now is talk of the town among geeks (although it has yet to gain a lot of popularity under "Linux laymen".
I'd say it's a toss-up between Mandrake and Gentoo. RedHat IS shrinking, for obvious reasons, and Fedora just isn't that popular. Debian isn't as "big" as Mandrake, Slackware... I haven't heard much about that in a while... and SuSE, while up there, seems to have been more popular two years ago than it is now.
The fastest-growing LiveCD linux obviously is Knoppix, which really is its own class apart from the desktop/server environments.
The theory does not state that only physical interaction will be a part of it. In this case, you seem fairly desperate (looking online?) and you have found an attractive (you can still see them) female.
Science is only as limited as humanity's scope of the universe is. That is, only what we can know is what we can know. Anything else is conjecture.
Besides, computers are still part of "real life". What, just because your faces are transmitted over distance onto a 2D projection doesn't change your emotions any.
Spiritual. Ha! That's nice, postulating a "spirit" entity to explain something. Why not postulate something from observation instead of making it up?
My my my... isn't it sad how they deny?

All of the sudden, the quacks and weirdos come out to insist that there's more than just chemicals, that science can't explain anything.
Well, guess what, pal. If you can't handle observations and reality, go dig your head in the sand. This is science, and science does not care about your personal dogmas.
It may very well be that we are completely worthless and irrelevent creates, designed simply for survival and reproduction.
However, is that the fault of your subjective interpretations, or reality itself?
Don't cry to me about what reality really is. I don't want to hear your anti-science ignorance and denial.

It's a good thing that guy was stopped. Just imagine what could happen if little girls view porn!
Girl: uhh whats this... OH NOES
Computer: PORN PORN PORN PORN TEENAGE SEX PORN
*Girl explodes because she views nude females*
Seriously, is the sun going to explode or something? Is the cosmic balance of things going to be disturbed from nude bodies?

"LawsuitLinux", with a penguin dressed up as a lawyer? And costs $699?

I understand what you're saying, but the FBI usually cares depending on the worth of what's being released. Is your source worth anywhere near $5000?
Try "flight simulator", for starters, Mr. I-believe-in-fantasy.
Smell isn't the only thing, idiot. You act as if people who cannot smelll (yes, they exist) cannot love, or blind people cannot love, etc..
You probably didn't even read the fucking article.
Science "can't? explain everything related to life? Perhaps not at this moment, and if it weren't for people like you it'd progress even faster.
Face it, you are an animal just like everyone else. No, you do not have supernatural "love powers".
Oh, you mean those things that can be reproduced with drugs and brain stress? Nah, rather not...
Sadly enough for you, your whining is still "just" chemical reactions. The universe operates the way it does regardless of what you think.
Yes, it seems to be almost like a brain disease. I wish one day I loose all conceptions of lust.
