No, that out cry was because it was a vaccination against a virus that caused cervical cancer. Oh, wait, the virus is also classified as a STD. So it was a vaccine against a common STD with deadly consequences. Somehow this meant giving it to little girls (not effective for folks 25+ i recall) was the same as giving them the OK to have sex. The same argument that is used to prevent sex-ed in schools. There was a risk from the vaccine, but then all vaccine have risks, but the real fight was not against those risks, it was all about the mortality of saying its ok for little girls (who they wanted to vaccinate) to have sex. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervical_cancer_vaccine
associated with the development of cervical cancer, genital warts, and some less common cancers
Those people would have probably fought just as hard if it was a vaccine against AIDS.
The story says she bought the game in 2004, that means it was the ps2 version. The only way to accees the mod for that version is if you have a modchip and manualy modify the files (or so every other story says).
Anyway is it not her fault for buying a 14 year old a game desgined for 17+.

Something would be a bigger challenge to as astronomers that the light polution given off by cities?
Anyway how does this law matter since the FAA has no rights to enforce this law since you could physicly be above a forgen nation but be clearly visiable to the entire united states (if it was large enough)
No, its a debate do you use 10^3 or 2^10 when describing data.
In computers it has always been 2^10, it is only now that marketing to the unwashed masses where they use powers of 10.
And btw your off by a scale of 1000
Mega is 10^6 (1,000,000) and Giga is 10^9 (1,000,000,000)
So you are saying that there is a difference between a highly trained hacker and a hightly trained security professional?
The only way that you can stay ahead of your enimies offensive power is to create that power for your self, then find a way to defeat it. The NSA most likely has teams of highly skilled hackers, but they would not be stupid enough to use such a loaded term.
And you can say with a straight face that the motion picture expert group (mpeg) codec restirctions are less draconian than the ones microsoft are proposing?
You bitch about those ringtones, but you aslo forget back when there was only one or two different rings and when ever a phone would ring everyone would have to check to see if it was their phone.
I hate the artifical sounding ring tones that come with most phones but its much better than having to check your phone every time you heard a cell phone ring.
While it is possible to create your own methonal, one of the articals mentions that they are using 99.5% pure liquid. In most locations brewing its fine but to distill is illegal.
Actually it was
1. A robot must never harm a human being, or through inaction allow a human being to come to harm.
The second part of that law might seem unimportant but it is just as important as the first. Without the rest of the first law a robot could cause a human to die by 'accident'
Canada has converted to metric, its that this conversion will take three generations to complete is why we still use imperial. Oh, and offical we use our body weight/hight in metric its just that still 2/3rds of the population grew up using inches and pounds not centemeters and kilograms.
Wow, i feel sorry that you are colour blind.
I aslo feel sorry that you did not notice that they were in order clockwise by the list starting at 0 degrees (top).
And a table of results might have complimented it but to show the scale of the differenaces sometimes a pie chart can work best.
Wow, thats true. The problem is that the contract does not say that you can not modify it, it says that you can not modify the product and still expect them to repair/replace the damaged product even if the damage is not related to the modification.
All contracts are a two way street, you will do something (not modify), and so long as thats true, they will do something.
If i dont want their support, they cant say how i use the product i bought from them.
Most media (writing, the printing press, radio, television, 8-track, etc...) didn't see a lot of porn use immediately. I would say the amount of radio porn has always been pretty small.
Written porn is well documented, the level of porn increased as society accepted it. Its noted that while the bible was the most reproduced book by the printing press, pornographic stories were in the list of top ten uses back then. Of course the language and style used back then holds nothing on today. Radio and television were not used for the transmision of porn because very early in their creation bodys (FCC) were created to regulate them and stop any such thing from being transmited.
Just because you never bought a 8track of a porn story does not mean none were produced.
The parrent said all mediums are used for porn, not that all mediums are used exclusivly for it. Society has become more liberal, things you see on TV and hear on Radio today in manny cases would have never been allowed in the past.
No federal law on porn would be upheald since it has already been ruled that porn in and of itself is protected by the 1st amendment. And i dont doubt the willingness of corperations bowing to federal witch hunts, i dont see them being able to fight that multi million dollar industry with crusaders like Flint would would likely fight it to his last dime on the principal of the issue.

There was http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/07/12/ 0535250 an older story
It seems that while a large number of people were 'identified' only eight were arrested.

Wow, finaly a MMO company is blaming the players for caming static spawns rather than blaming themselves for having those spawns.
And even worse, they wrote into their TOS that you can not camp any spawns or they can cancel your account.
Static Spawn = Spawn Camping = Spawn Greifing.
Maybe they are just really bored and decided to get a trade mark on something really stupid to see how the press would react.
Oh joy, a link to a link that is a word for word copy of a press release.
Why cant someone just link to the orginal press release?
Well the only good thing about this is maybe some fools with think the all access pass is worth their money now.
Was that 50hrs of playtime or 10hrs of playtime and 40hrs of wating for the game to reload after you just died?
So you are saying that there is a difference between a highly trained hacker and a hightly trained security professional?

Are you really saying that Enron and Halliburton were terrorist suspects?
Wow, thats so horid to read.
It should be 6.80e5 or you could take the time to type out the full 680,000kph.
On a side note kph is not a valid unit measurment since thats a thousand what per hour? You probally ment kmph.
