I think that by "include anyone having an inappropriate conversation with a child — even if the chats aren't sexual in nature" does not include anything that would get you arrested if it would be said in "real-life". It probably concerns death threats and the like.
You would not say "suck my balls" to an underage after beating him at chess in a coffee anyway, and I think the same should apply online.
But saying "I'm so gonna cut you in half - I know where you live" to a kid after he beats you at chess could get you arrested, and I think the same should apply online.
The question of knowing or not if one is an underage is another thing.
If done right, it can be great.
In Québec, Canada, two large companies (Bell and Vidéotron) had a monopoly on broadband. A few years ago, a 650k access was about 30-35$ (including modem rental, all fees, with a yearly contract).
Now, Bell is forced to share it's network and small companies can "rent" a dry loop (a phone line that cannot make phone calls) for 8$ a month.
Bell support to those companies was bad (read: non-existant) in the first few years, but now they have been imposed a short delay (a week or two) to fix the problems, or they get a fine. The system seems to work pretty well.
I'm pretty sure the whole idea is just to cut the projects risk, like new technology and gas pricing, and implant it asap before regulations problems arise. They'll probably find way to cut pricing afterward.
Once it's started, it's harder to stop that if the project is in development.
I'm a programmer, but I used to be a help desk for about a year (I got my degree right when the bubble exploded). I had a load of stupid stuff to do, like unjamming printers, changing dot-matrix printers ribbons, rebooting frozen terminals / PCs and other stuff only highly qualified people can do.</sarcasm> I've cut that load by more than half by educating people with quick-fix guides and "not to do" lists. With the time it saved I automated some other tasks (report production, verifications, etc...). I ended up with 2-3 hours a day worth of job and 5-6 hours to code data analysis tools to saved some of my boss time. So if you can, focus on prevention, even if it means working harder during a short while.
Good, although I wouldn't *mention* alternatives, just mention there are plenty alternatives.
Also, let's say you want to buy ilvtofu.com. Buy ilvtofu.net and/or ilvtofu.us *before* making a proposition. You don't want to end-up without any Plan B.
So you suggest we should build for 18,00 to 25,000 tons of satellites per year out of meteoric dust influx to save the Earth from destruction? Brilliant!!!
Did anyone ever realized than putting some of the earth mass into space actually lighten the Earth? It could affect the actual orbit of the Earth!!!! 2012 is coming!!! ^_^
Because is is easier to laugh at people than to help them???
Sad... Especially since Ubuntu is all about accessibility! There is still a little culture of elitism amongst *part of* the Linux community that contribute to keep Windows users away from the Tux.
Nov. 16th is my gf's birthday!!! I'll give her a present, go to a fine little restaurant, and while she'll talk about how nice our relation is, I'll hear this voice in my head: "What are you doing here, Mr. Freeman?"
The same kind of system has been installed in Monrtéal (Québec, Canada) corner st-Denis and st-Catherine, to prevent (monitor) "massive drug deals and prostitution".
I guess the policemens looking at these images will have a good time trying to judge which girl is a prostitute and which one is just inspired by Christina Aguilera or some other pop or rap artist.
They should do a kind of hot or not concept with that.
Who said all our significant other's aren't gamers?
What about all those The Sims playin' 1337 chicks?;) Hey, I'm often chatting to my girlfriend while she sits 3 meters away from me. It makes her laught all the times.
Try giving her a "I love my geek" pijama from ThinkGeek, and she might understand that it is not just a habit but a lifestyle and that you're proud of it.;)
She'll even be proud that all her base are belong to you!
Here in Québec, it saturated the market. It's a kind of American Idols in bigger. It comes from a french concept. It should have stayed a french concept.
There's nothing else on the radio than songs from the Star Académie album, the Star Académie tour, songs from former académitiens and the season 2 will bring its lot, too. God I hate that generation of cool-aid artists, just poor water in and you've got a hit.
The concept is financed by Québecor, who own almost all the medias in Québec, and produced by the CEO's wife, Julie Schnyder. In all the newpapers, web sites, tv stations, radios owned by Québecor, there is so much publicity... I'm gonna puke, as the auditions for season 3 are starting and the season 2 tour has just begun...
It might be, but it will ship with crappy earphone that break easily and cost 50$ to replace. This way, they can legally says it is a "50$ value", so people think they have good earphone and that the sound they are earing is good.
It's okay, it was done to save money. You hire too few IT, don't give them any formation, a 56kb/s connection shared by 12 computers, give them lazy work like typing emails for the illeterate directors, of make them clean their office, cause the guy that pass the mop is paid the same price anyway, make him hate his job, now he don't give a damn about his networks, don't patch it and when the brand new worm pops out of nowhere and affect your network, you have someone to blame and it's a good reason to cut on his next raise.
What a brilliant business model!
Don't make sense? So why does it appends so often? Hey, I've been through this, trust me. If it's your situation right now, leave that job presto! You deserve better!

[Insert "Yes, you can" joke here]
And what about that message and funny picture you've just posted on Facebook? Ho, wait...
I wonder how Microsoft will call it's clone of Wave... Bang? aLive? Sharepoint?
Will hydrogen engines use spark-plugs? Maybe it'll be viable then.

It's Gordon Freeman, and we never actually hear it's voice... but anything that can help discover xkcd is good!
Why is this listed as being humorous?

I see... that's why they way Jobs is always right at Apple... it's the hormones!
Remember the train ride at the very beginning of Half-Life (1) ?
The security guy, Barney, welcomed you saying: "You came in late, this morning, Mr. Freeman, but finally, you're there..."
Nov. 16th is my gf's birthday!!! I'll give her a present, go to a fine little restaurant, and while she'll talk about how nice our relation is, I'll hear this voice in my head: "What are you doing here, Mr. Freeman?"
This is torture!

If it becomes a problem, buy a cat.
Compulsive anything (even cunnilingus) isn't going to work in a relationship unless you both have the same compulsion
I'll be very happy if my gf was a cunnylingus giver! It brings spice to the bed!

The Sony device will be quite good
