The difference is that when you are an adult, you can do whatever you want. One day you will have children that you love and care about... when that day comes, you will remember this conversation.
Until you do have a child that is yours, you can't really understand what I am talking about...but when you do, you will surely understand.
You people are quite crazy.
Why in the world would you allow teens to have access to pronography or alcohol.
It is absolutely nuts.
If you are worried sbout your individual children's access to violent video games, pornography, tobacco, etc... THEN... you can go but that stuff for your child and give it to them.
As a rule though, the community should not sell those things to children.
It is just absolutlely silly to suggest that because some kids can buy tobacco or alcohol or attend Rated "R" or "X" movies in some (illegal) locations that we should just get rid of those laws. Poppycock
It is also silly to suggest that children have full freedom of speech OR should have ability to view other people freedom of speech. Childern are not adults... they are children. For goodness sakes people.
Passing community laws that prevent selling items to children and things like the v-chip that help block negative content, and other things are our responibility as adult to protect children.
Children need protecting... and they need good parenting... AND... good parents need help in the way of community laws to prevent selling items to children, that provide software for filtering internet content, and that provide items like the v-chip for blocking movies.
Certainly, not selling "R" or "X" rated movies to kids is a good idea as a general rule. You can then rent that movie and allow your children to watch it, if you deem it wise. The only argument then becomes one of Freedom of speech / expression and freedom of actions. Children are not wise enough to fend for themselves and they need parents... so they don't have those freedoms.
hmmm... if you have a wireless router/access point.. it is probably that MAC address that the ISP registers. All your other computers are probably behind that access point and their MAC addresses are probably not passed at all to the ISP, just the one MAC address of your Access Point / Router.

The things in RHEL are not written by RedHat... they are GPL items written by others and repackaged by redhat.
RedHat has a whole section of their website telling you exactly how to redistibute their software, because it is open source.
That is how open source and the GPL works... RedHat makes their money on the support contracts, they do not own the software they distribute.
CentOS is now and will always be free.
CentOS is now and has a stated goal to be self hosting.
CentOS has 10 Mirrors that we manage and a website that we pay for. We ask for donations of either equipment or money for operating costs (as the user sees fit)... donations are, of course, not required. {Since we manage our own main mirrors, it doesn't take 2 weeks to clear up a md5sum issue on them:)... but it does cost a little money}
We have
Certainly...
1. RHEL like OS is being deployed and tested for free... on much more equipment than it would otherwise be. This leads to more potential RHEL customers. We also supply bug reports to the RHEL bugzilla so they see and can fix many more problems.
2. There are 4 or 5 open source projects that are based on a CentOS base:
I don't think that you can transfer your phone number to someone else... you can transfer your home number to your cell phone... or your cell phone (for your use) from one provider to another.
It doesn't say you own the number, such that you can sell it. The phone companies are not required to recognize the transfer if you aren't using the number in the new location.
Yes, but most of the letters they (MPAA) send are reguarding files that are posted directly for download on a website via anonymous FTP or http... not p2p files.
The MPAA (and movies in general) are musc better than the record companies.
You can buy MOST new-release movies for between $15 and $25 USD (some as low as $9.99)...and there is much better content on those than the normal downloads (extra sceenes, director/actor comments, etc.). Renting the movies is $4.00 bucks (to get the extra content), and a blank DVD is between $1-2 so it costs $6.00 to copy (and a couple hours time) and $10-20 to buy... so I mostly buy...
Now take the record industry... still trying to charge $15.00 for a CD... not alot of extra content....only 10 songs per CD when 17-20 will fit... a blank cd is $0.25, can hold $30.00 of songs and takes 20 minutes to burn. The Record industry needs to learn from the movie industry....

agreed ... the government should not compete against private companies. The governement doesn't have any money. They take your money, and use it.
Now, if a group of people wanted to put up the money, and wanted to provide that service then that would be fine.

BUT ... then your Tivo would be worthless. How do you think you download your program information so you can use the Tivo in the first place.
No phone connection means no program times and no menus...
