Like you said... it is the internet. People are much more likely to say to random internet folk "My sister sucks on my cock and I like it", than they are their buddy next door. With that, you are just as likely to have someone who encourages it/discourages it/talks to them about it.
You say this because it is about incest... but if it were about collecting magic cards or watching star wars, wouldn't your opinion all of a sudden change?
Knowledge about "the unknown" isn't always a cool thing. If you murdered a bus-load of children with a single box knife, and you happen to fall off a cliff and smack your head and wash up somewhere with amnesia, would it *REALLY* be cool to have someone tell you about the bus incident?
Honestly, this is rediculous. Where do you draw the line? Where does it become just random data? The fact that I can construct a program to extract Hansons_mmbop.mp3 from your kernel32.dll, does distributing this file mean I am a badguy, even though the data isn't actually there?
[Yes, I have done this. Akin to 'if (CurrentPos == 2 || CurrentPos == 7 ||...) { fseek(ArbitraryDictFile,...); fread(ArbitraryDictFile,...); fwrite(NewlyCreatedFile,...); } else if...']
Surely, you should only need one port to communicate with your toaster. I'll even wager that you wont have 65535 devices in your house that you need to talk to. They only need one port. NAT it and be done.
Personally, I like(d) ColdFusion. My library of custom tags is quite impressive. But my issue came along when Macromedia bought it and released ColdFusion MX. Suddenly a P3 550 with 384 Megs of ram would die with one or two users. Sorry, but that is rediculous
Who are YOU to tell me what is appropriate to take pleasure in? Some people think gay sex is sick and wrong. Some people think eating meat is sick and wrong. Some people think smoking is sick and wrong. But I'll be damned if I let you force your opinions on me.
You give the engineers too much credit. Just look at things like the DARPA challenge
We can't even get a car to DRIVE across habitable terrain... how in bloody hell do you think we can engineer a robot to crawl subterrainian caverns and search for life?
Let's try a little perspective. You get a phone call at work saying your wife is in critical condition because someone on a PCP binge raped her for 6 hours and threw her out of a mooving car. You spend the next 6 months at the hospital every moment you can, while she sits as a vegetable in a coma. In the meantime, your kids are neglected, not only because you are spending what time you can with your wife, but they don't have their mother around... then she wakes up. While over the next year, through physical therapy, she gets physically better, but she doesn't talk... to you or anybody else. Most of her day is spent crying. She pulls away when you try to touch her. She can't even sleep in the same bed as you. The kids not being able to cope become deliquent. One of them starts doing heroin... and soon you learn they have HIV. Your wife eventually leaves because she can't cause you or the family anymore pain. Another kid drops out of school.
For the rest of your life, every day, you won't be able to have a moment where you feel ok. The life you had is gone. All inclination to pick up the pieces and start over is gone.
Tell me how forgiving you are going to be... how forgiving you SHOULD be?
What's worse? The death of a human or the sexual abuse of a human? Since I don't believe in that nonsense about an 'afterlife', I must say killing is worse than sexual abuse. Way worse. Way WAY worse.
Ask someone who was raped, and get back with me on that.
To head off all of the "You are invading my privacy" mongrols, if you are a convicted sex offender, you have no rights... at least you shouldn't.
When you sexually violate someone, you can guarantee a life of pain and suffering for the victim. Ask a lot of them, and you'll be suprised how many wish they were murdered instead of victimized as such. I'll even go as far as calling it "torture", but that is too mild a word.
Unfortunately, I am broadly encompassing people who have sex offender status, but I honestly believe shouldn't. This includes the gay man busted with his lover, because his next door neighbor is a homophobe. The solution there isn't to be lighter on sex offenders, but rather get some sane classification where "Anal Sex" isn't lumped in with a "child molester".
Just my opinion, but I would have no problem cooking people who rape a mother or molest a child. Actually, death is too good for them.
Right. We should get right to the root of it. Let's make it illegal to copy anything digitally. It's brilliant. I mean, what could go wrong???????????????????//
I know for sure, one of the patents (more or less) is how FAT stored long file names. For those not too clear on what that actually is, FAT long filenames are stored in regular "folder entry" structs with volume ID, read-only, system, and hidden attribute bits set, preceeding the initial entry for up to 20 entries (260 byte file name). Example:
Now Microsoft can, to a certain degree, claim this is "innovative" for the simple fact, I have NEVER seen another implementation of long file names in FAT. But the issue quickly comes to light, "How can I possibly implement a correct, COMPATIBLE FAT file system driver without using MS's long file name method?". Well, you can't. And FAT being what it is, there is no entity in the world that will give MS exclusive rights to implement long file names on FAT... even if they DID come up with it.
Correct me if I am wrong, please. When water molecules turn to ice as we know it, it becomes a hexagon structure of linked molecules. My impression is that water, under high pressure, while "solid", wouldn't form this structure. Could we really then call it "Ice"?
Then why is it on my XP SP2 machine (installed from slipstreamed media), with IE7, EVERYTHING zone wise in the high security setting, still lets me use that format? No, REALLY, it does.
But not everyone can be a champion. You have to have followers to have leaders. Just because you are a follower doesn't mean you aren't smart, or not worthy of working on X project. You know what happens to corps where the leader/follower ratio is skewed? DOWNSIZING.
A little off topic... one of my favorite games of all time was Dragon Quest 1 (Dragon Warrior). I never had a chance to play Dragon Warrior 2 until the life of the NES was long gone. I picked it up at a flea market for $3. Not being one that likes to "cheat" by looking at online hints and cheats, I found this game to be too "open". Once I got the ship to sail around in the water, there seemed to be no direction at all, that I tend to be used to in most of these kind of games.
My question is, am I just stupid, or was there really a story problem? Are the other sequals like it?
The pokemon games are released in pairs (for the most part), where you can only get certain pokemon on certain versions.
With the pokemon red/blue/green/yellow, pokemon red/blue was what the main pair was for the original game... in the US. Pokemon green was Japan only, and I believe it held the place of pokemon red there. Pokemon yellow was, I think, Pokemon Blue, but you could start with pikachu.

Well, if it is "bugs" you are looking for (not just security exploits), here is one:

You Windows driver programmers should know what it is about.
