How does it not make sense? The fact that Zelda games are only released for Nintendo systems has been a major selling point for those systems for some time. People buy the system to play Zelda and end up purchasing other games as well.
As far as I can tell, the main breakthrough all these Office suites have made in the last 20 years is to require a 2 GHz processor dedicated to typing.
Sorry, but I think you're not being straight. I used XP for a long time, and always with up to date virus and adware/spyware protection and STILL the system would eventually become less and less usable. I've had my current Linux install for a year and a half.\ with no problems.
Yeah, it's funny. People really do think AOL is the internet. T\AOL can get away with having these ads about protecting people from spyware, etc. when they themselves install some really questionable shit.
I'll admit that I spen a few das learning Linux and familiarizing myself with it (similar to Windows, I guess...hmmm...), now it is a HUGE time saver. It's superior for automating tasks (or at least easier to use to automate tasks...Windows is only free if your time has no value...and someone buys you a copy as a gift) It's faster to install. I can have a fully operational GNOME desktop with all the software I need installed and configured in 45 minutes. All with the newest versions of everything. This takes, in my experience, around 4 hours in Windows.
Statutory rape CAN be considered a violent crime when perpetrated against someone who can actually be physically harmed in the acts performed. There is an idea (which I even agree with...hehe...) that statutory rape in some cases is not really wrong...it's just the arbitrary edge between crime and "love" and we all accept it. In the context child pornography, however, I would argue that statutory rape is both mentally and physically violent to the child involved.
16-year-olds are a gray area. I'm, like, sooo sarcastic.
Except that the recording of child porn is not a documenting of an event that would have ocurred otherwise. News simply plays witness, while a child pornographers' purpose is to create the violent crime so that it can be recorded.
I see what you mean, but we already prosecute possession of drugs, prostitution, etc. There are good samaritan laws in several states. All this points to is that there are laws on the books that are far more limiting on our rights than child porn laws.
Also, the illegality of child porn lies not only in the making and selling of it, but also in its possession as an illegal material. Are you suggesting that it should be legal to distribute child porn as long as it's not for profit? I disagree; any biproduct of a violent crime against another human being should dealt with accordingly.
HAHA! I said that some of Karl Rove's actions might qualify. Saying they might not (which is what you did) is essentially agreeing with me. Good on ya'.
Why do you assume I'm some bleeding heart liberal now? I'm absolutely not, although I do think this administration is a damn disgrace...maybe even more than previous administrations. My relationship to the U.S. government is one of prey to predator: you can come down out of the trees, but occasionally you'll get eaten.
I'm not a Democrat because I don't feel the need to be protected from the world by a huge corporate entity (U.S.A.) and I want to spend my money on whatever I want. I'm not a Republican because I enjoy doing dirty things with members of the opposite sex.
Vote Libertarian, Mr. Donleyp. You MIGHT be a real fucktard. Kiss my ass.
Ok, understood. And we can all agree that sexual acts performed on minors by adults which are recorded are child porn. Child porn is when you a photo you see could be evidence of statutory rape.
Same thing with the recent GTA San Andreas thing...it's an indication of where our (Americans') mind is: Hey, who mixed a naked human body with my racist killing spree??? I'm livid! I love GTA.:)
Yeah, I find it odd that even though I am the most responsible, competent and intelligent person at my job (and humble too!), I have to hide the fact that I occasionally smoke marijuana, while the boozing party hounds get to come in bragging about how drunk they were last night. Nice!
Well, a package format will often include as part of its specs a declaration of what info will be included in the package. RPM DOES NOT, as part of the spec, include package dependencies. There are ways to track deps in RPM land, but NO RPMs do not include dependency tracking as a base feature, last time I checked.

Once OOo implementation is out, it will be pretty clear, I assume. You can look at the code after all, remember. :)
I think part of Abiword's decision to hold back was due to the complexity of the standard; this is not a simple format. I'm excited to see OOo 2.

Oh, good! They can be fags as long as they don't do anything faggy.
I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.

Agreed. I turned into a space alien when my work PC was in the same room as my bed. Sucks.
I certainly agree to drawing a distinction between adolescents and children.

You guys are full of shit. :)

A lack of cleanliness is what leads to chicks not wanting to look at it, higher STD rates, etc.
So, guys who WASH WELL do not have a problem.
This goes for you, circumsized fucker!
Right, but there's no competition in this niche. Sometimes a good niche is needed. Double entendre.
Well, the real truth in Americs is that any woman, Jew or African-American has no chance of being elected in current times. Sorry, but it's true.

You know, I agree with you...

Mr. Taylor is still wrong if he is calling Linux brittle in relation to Win.
