Nothing against playing on the other team, but you know, there are those rubber balls with pipe attached that you can use to rinse your "private parts" before the act...
I'm here to convince you that what would make America great, is a big heaping helping of Santorum.
Indeed. There are people reading slashdot from their workplace, and they don't want to be surprised seeing such gross headlines on the front page (!) while their manager might walk in and see a glimpse of this filth! Please!
That food poisoning accident we had a few years ago because of unsanitary practices
Try searching for Kartoffelkeller Lübeck, and watch what turns up as 7th and 8th link...
... and it wasn't even their fault. And actually, they weren't even the unwitting "origin", that hypothesis got disspelled within days. And yet, Google, like Anonymous, never forgets...
Worse than that: "leaving a classroom full of gang-related students alone is dangerous". After all, what's to stop the other pupils starting 3 more fights while he walks the 2 perps to the principal?
I have a problem with articles like this... a vague threat is made, that some Flash-based games that kids like to play also load trojans. Great. So, neither the writer of the article or Bit Defender say they know what games / sites to stay away from.
Read again what you wrote... the answer to your question in your last sentence is in your first sentence.
My nephews and niece did this when they used to visit my parents place. Within days of their visit my dad, who is not much of a computer person, will call me asking why windows has stopped working. I got a lot of software installed on their computer to monitor these things, yet somehow the kids always managed to install some crap
So, did the kids also manage to install Windows, or did somebody else install that particular piece of crap?
One good thing that happened was when they turned their attention to Ipads. It has apps on it that are kid friendly but haven't seen Viruses Trojans etc in Ipad apps yet.
This is my excuse for not going to work today: "it's cold outside".
Last year, we did get a day off at work due to "excessive" amounts snow on the roads. Only trouble: management announced the "good" news via work e-mail...
As long as you don't let them spend too much time on the computer and you can properly monitor their usage, it is fine for kids to be on the computer to get familiar with it.
... and properly monitoring is exactly what isn't happen here. How come kids are let on a computer with such an insecure operating system? This habit will be a bitch to break later on when they are older. As a good parent, you wouldn't let them take drugs either, especially at such a young age!
Did I read this right that Florida attempted to pass a law in 2004 against cow tipping? Especially against attempting to topple a cow by pulling its tail...
And what we're trying to argue here is that google's subterfuge should not be legal either. What they did was say something to the computer in such a weird way that it means exactly the contrary to a human. This can't be right.
It's as if a party A drafted a contract with a party B, and deliberately inserted some spelling errors in his promises to B, and later renegated on these promises under pretense that the text is just gobbledygook and thus not a legal commitment (all the while insisting that B should uphold his part of the deal). Very shady.
A honor system works because of the implicit threat of shaming (or suing) a would-be infringer. Google infringed. So we are trying to shame them by pointing out what they did. If you take this away by saying "but the scheme is broken, it can be subverted by just making false promises, so Google is ok in doing what they did and Microsoft is stupid by behaving according to standard (ha!)", then you are indeed breaking it by helping Google out of a well-deserved public shame.
It's the same as with robots.txt or similar schemes really. Trivially easy to ignore, but reputable spiders won't ignore it because they know that people will notice, and call them to it.
I am not sure most tracking sites bother with such fine distinctions, but they cannot hide from the law forever.
Only small sites need to hide. Big sites (apparently) don't need to, they're "too big to be considered rude" / "too big to be sued".
P3P sounds like a stupid idea anyway. How does it protect user privacy if something as trivial as the attack described above totally defeats it?
P3P is a honor system anyways. The same effect could be obtained by a syntactically well-formed promise not to abuse the 3rd party cookies, but which google would never intend to keep...
When I lived in Knoxville, I was encouraged by an acquaintance to apply for one of these escort jobs when I complained about how little I was paid as a university teacher.
Slashdot Mirror
Is that the physicists equivalent of rubbing two sticks together?
You swine! You are supposed to plug the stick into a hole! (and then spin it)
But the second link is www.clubpenguin.com:
Welcome to Club Penguin, a virtual world for kids guided by an unwavering commitment to safety and creativity.
hummmm... seems there is more about Linux than meets the eye...
... I find it's best to leave a turd on a keyboard. In other words, literally move on it.
It's actually more phun to leave shrimps under the false floor.
Hi there Democrat voter, have you ever thought that you might like Santorum?
Yes, sure, I like Dame Blanche .
O, you meant the real thing? Belch!
were glad they tried playing on the other team

In fact, the monkey looks better than 99% of the girls you occasionally seen on the web posing into their cell phones trying to look cool.
And what about self-portraits taken by ducks?
And for anybody who's wondering: the name of the program is iodine (as in Ip over Dns, or as in atomic number 53).
Call 911 and do your best to protect the others.
Over a sharpened pencil? He'll be booked for "wasting police time"...
"touching a student against policy"
Worse than that: "leaving a classroom full of gang-related students alone is dangerous". After all, what's to stop the other pupils starting 3 more fights while he walks the 2 perps to the principal?
Well that seems to be the iPad approach!
On a iPad, kids won't steal your data. Instead they can steal your money

Finally one good use for Ipads :-)
All PC's must be outfitted with a Breathalyzer to ensure nobody is intoxicated while driving the mouse.
If you're five year old daughter is drunk while using her PC, you've got more to worry about than the insecure software...

Where do you live, Antarctica?
In Antarctica, it would be summer now.
That would be like shooting down a plane because it flew over your house.
Like these guys. And it wasn't even yet over their "house"...
But they used bird-shot, so maybe this somehow makes it ok...
Did I read this right that Florida attempted to pass a law in 2004 against cow tipping? Especially against attempting to topple a cow by pulling its tail...
If you fly your aircraft low enough to be in shotgun range, I'd say they would be acting in self-defense shooting your stupid ass down.
And what about cars? Does this mean you can now shoot at speeders?
After all, it flies, so it must be a bird...
Yes, but that would not be legal.
Exactly.

That's what she said...
Holy shit, man, you've never lived until you've had your dick sucked by a fat chick.
Or, as an old Italian saying goes: You can't insert your key into a lard ass, but the mouth that goes with it will gladly accept it!
