I have access to a movie no matter what it's rated. The comparison would be more appropriate if, say, only certain theaters were allowed to play R movies and those theaters were not as easly accessable as the theaters that could play G movies. I don't have access to sites if the TLD is blocked.
The internet is just like the real world, it's not kid friendly. And just like the real world you can't isolate the objectionable from your kids, you have to isolate your kids from the objectionable. If your kid isn't old enough to be able to deal with this stuff then he isn't old enough to be on the internet all alone.
A voluntary.xxx TLD would be a good idea. The second it becomes required, it's totally unconstitutional.
And there in lies the problem, cause there would be a bunch of sites who wouldn't agree to it (it limits their possible exposure so why would they?), and that would completely invalidate the entire premise of having the domain.
Personally I think a.kids or.safe is the way to go. About the problem you mentioned. Why not a.kx where x is a number ranking the site's content 1-9. Define a ratings system to classify sites, then only only open the domain to a site that agrees to abide by those qualifications. Now parents can adjust what their kids can and can't see on the internet.
Do remember that grading papers sucks ass, college's offer classes in the summer, and most professors are expected to keep up certain other activities such as research and authoring books as well.
"If travel to the past were possible we would be flooded by visitors from the future."
Not entirely. Every theoretical implementation of time machines using wormholes or what have you, only allows one to travel as far back as when the time machine was first invented.
No no no... Faster then light communication is not theoretically possible. Period. The entanglement reveals itself only after being compared to the data by means of normal communication, the effects are said to be immidiate and non-local, but there is no way to use those effects to transmit information.
They should be able to do that through the phone company. I know some major lawfirms have a switchboard that you can call, they'll place the call for you and then connect you, the caller ID shows the call as coming from the company.
I don't think any of those reasons are legitimate. If I'm paying money out of my pocket for caller ID I expect it to work for everyone, including those you mentioned.
It's a fetus. Potential for life is not the same thing as life.
I don't think abortion is a good thing. I doubt anyone does. But everyone should be able to choose what to do with their own body. If a women doesn't want someone growing inside her then she doesn't have to.
I don't think we can reach true idea with the computer design we have now. Maybe with a quantum computer or something we haven't imagined yet. But I don't think the current trend can support that flexable a design.
We've never found life at all, so there is no such thing as working from experience in this field. My dream job was actually right where I went looking for it...
I'm not advocating for or against linux. All I'm saying is that a couple of commercials and a lawsuit aren't enough press. The majority of the world is aware of only 2 choices, Apple or Microsoft, and both price accordingly. There is no real competition.
we don't have a clear exit strategy or set of goals
Yes we do...
1) Remove Saddam
2) Install temporary Iraqi government
3) Let the Iraqis vote in a free, open election ASAP to choose their new leader
4) while 2 & 3 are happening, leave US forces around because the new government needs time to create a police force that will enforce laws and keep the peace.
If your last step is to leave US forces around, it's not an exit strategy.

That makes no sense at all...
There would be no realistic way of detecting a civilization such as that.
Someone actually modded this as insightfull?
Yes, but where to point it? Lasers are only good if you know what you're aiming at.
How exactly do you think you could accelerate DNA up to .5 lightspeed?
How did a rant on network security come from my comment??

Your average computer user isn't smart enough to know that linux even exists, let alone be able to figure it out.
This case is neutral towards Bush's argument.
You don't get it. The point isn't to wait around for the country to stabalize, the point is to have a plan to actively work toward stabalizing it.

sorry... had to say it.....
no
Agreed on the first one. But why Einstein?
