Mod parent up. I want to protect children from seeing both porn and violence; in my case I call it "parenting" and that responsibility falls to me (for my kids in any case). Another idea that goes along with this whole "parenting" school of thought is that children should be prepared for the real world, and (hopefully) socialized and educated such that they will grow up learning to think and feel for themselves. Both porn and violence are real world factors that kids will eventually be confronted with and it's my job to protect them before they are ready and prepare them to be (I hope) thoughtful, sagacious, pragmatic, etc. once they are ready.
I would hope that flying a small plane out of a private airport out in the desert with no prefiled flight plan, that he was at least in possession of some kind of emergency beacon.
Right, or better yet, just don't have a TV at all. Since our house doesn't have cable or an antenna, we don't get any stations. It's the perfect solution since we don't waste time watching all the mindless crap that makes up about 98% of what can be found on TV. We find better things to do with our time. Like checking out all the mindless crap that can be found while surfing the Internet.
I can understand wanting some information about the machines running one's software, as it helps understand the market and improve upon current design.
Agreed, but they could tell users they are collecting up front, or even *gasp* ask for it first!
Add to the reasons of CDs with only 2 good songs and having to go to the store the fact that the CD selection at Best Buy is horrifically pathetic. If you don't want the latest flavor of the minute hit songs, good luck finding it at Best Buy.
After taking it apart, I managed to fix it properly just by reseating the hard drive cable. Could this be the cause of all the click-of-death "sad iPod" failures users are seeing?"
Maybe Apple has secretly contracted with Iomega for their increased memory supply needs...
Time to sell the big blue stock! Mr. Donofrio shouldn't be heading up the innovation and technology department if that's what he really believes. While it's possible that services or social changes will be more of the focus over the next few years (which I would doubt) to say that innovation is a done deal is preposterous and damning for business.
It's sad that instead of thinking up ways that this technology could be used for something like medical, scientific or educational purposes, the first thought is toward marketing and consumerism. Not surprising, but still sad.
"Church is not the people that conegate together to worship." is in direct conflict with "Church is people who get together to love, support and watch over one another on a one on one basis, to worship God and try to help one another live as He did."
Either church is the gathering of people (whether 2 or 2000) or it isn't. And it must be organized if you have an agreed upon time and place to meet each week. If part of the definition of church is "to help one another live as He did" then you are obviouly following some agreed upon beliefs and ideas that define what it means to "live as He did".
I don't really see that you have rebutted the point that church is [a component of] organized religion.
That statement borders on sensless. Following the teachings of anyone (excepting, possibly, someone who is truly psychotic) means that you are following an organized process of some kind. Your statement falls completely apart, however, based on your statement "My church does more with my 10% voluntary tithe and 1 weekly day of service..."
How is a church not organized religion? How is that possible?

How does that old quote go?
"There are 3 kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and Microsoft PR"
Or something along those lines...
I, for one, welcome our new sorority girl overlords.
Oh man, Sorority Girl Overlords has "fundraiser calendar" written all over it.
OK cool, but... how fashionable a headband are we talking?
Duke Nuke'em Forever.
oh...
wait...

I just hit the speed dial for home...
"Hi, I'm at Fry's... yes, again."
As a a mutually agreeable, neutral computer forensics expert, my only acceptable choice is CowboyNeal.
I'm thinking the suits heard "second life" and stopped asking questions...
Was that a Yellowbeard reference? One of the most underated films, it's a shame it isn't more widely known...

...that's pretty much true of my Roomba. Wait till I figure out how to make it do the dishes.

I sit at a computer all day at work, why would I want to do more of that in my spare time?
Yeah, plus you already read slashdot while you were at work!
When I first read the headline I thought it said a 45mm chip, which is considerably less impressive.
Pff... That's not a audio/video studio... that's just a guy downloading and burning some DivX movies.
I think "tens of thousands in state funds" is possibly a bit of an exaggeration.
Possibly not, maybe they bought the equipment from CompUSA.
Don't even get me started on women's fashions...
I'd like to see windows in women's fashion - the internals are far more interesting.
Yes, but let's stop there. Please no case modding of women...

That first class ticket doesn't reduce his time in the air though. He arrives the same time as the coach standby folks do.
Yes, but his ego travels faster.

I don't follow an organized Christianity.
