Can we please just outlaw the internet? The **AA will eventually say every thing on the internet is for child porn.
What makes usenet different than any other internet technology when it comes to child porn? Wow, its a different way to shift bits around. Until they can stop all forms of bit transmission, there will be porn....
"All of these sorts of things tend to collapse under their own weight. When they start out, they're being created by people who are passionate about it and doing it because they care/enjoy working on it. Then it grows and more people sign up and suddenly there's a potential for some money to be made exploiting it. "
You just summed up almost all businesses in general, not just social networking ones.....
Its comments like these that make me enjoy slashdot. I frequently find myself saying 'yeah i agree with what you said even if I didn't think it myself'. I wish the RIAA/MPAA et al would read slashdot. If only we could get some good ideas into the right minds of those organisations...

I think if Obama voted against it his opponents would label him a terrorist. Well they did that anyway I suppose....
Obama's embracing of the internet for communications reminds me of FDR and his fireside chats. I think its a great idea.
"I consider myself an IT professional, and I got my degree in Japanese Literature."
That explains the hentai pinups in the server room.
And its misleading too.
You can fire 3 primary rays through the pixel with NO bounces occuring.
"Another interesting point is that this demo is currently capped at 3 casts per pixel."
You mean three bounces per pixel.
Also, from TFA:
"running on four next-generation Quadro GPUs in an NVIDIA Quadro Plex 2100 D4 Visual Computing System"
Sure this is impressive, but they are pushing kilowatts to get this kind of performance.
"How can I get myself put on the no-fly list? I want to make it official."
I think the only requirement is that you be a warm blooded mammal.

You will have a valid point when I see a fully licensed port of DirectX on a non-MS operating system.
And yet 10.5 running on an Intel chip is a certified Unix....
Where can I buy an "imac laptop"? Sounds interesting....
Let's see your response to DirectX....
Please give us an update in about a month or so.
Yes, the apple GUI is different. Same with the keyboard shortcuts. Once you get used to them, you won't even notice it.
I went through the same frustration as you, but now I get pissed when I am on windows and can't use the command key like I can on OS X....
Give it time would be my suggestion...
Trent, get over her. She's over you.
add a clause that states "unless conducting e-commerce and e-banking"

Then they are not sysadmins.
Would a Yahoogle monopoly be any better than an MS one?
