  1. Re:I an just see the trials on CourtTV now on Prostitutes Call for a Ban on GTA · · Score: 1

    You may be missing the point. A woman is a prostitute in a licensed brothel in Nevada, and testifies that she is such. How do you toss her in jail? If the trial is not in Nevada, she can't be jailed for it by the other state because it didn't happen in the other state. Warning: IANAL.

  2. Re:Mod parent WRONG on Essential PHP Security · · Score: 1

    I misread my output, not noticing the error when I escaped the inner quotes. I did, however, get different output when I escape the brackets. Escaping the brackets led to the actual display of an input box, which when filled and submitted, led to a 404 error.

    Also, have you tried it without Tomcat?

    As for the post vs. POST distinction, I thought I had read that some browsers couldn't read post correctly, but I can't find the source now.

    Geez, the guy posts a minute after the previous post (so he probably didn't see it) and he gets modded -1 (redundant). Won't anyone think of the latency?

  4. Re:no offense... on KDE 4 Screenshots · · Score: 1

    That's funny. The Linux distributions that I use are precompiled and worked on by people other than me. Linux is starting to look like Windows XP? I hope not! Does Windows XP have native multiple desktops yet?

    As for everything being a copy of something, what's so original about OSX/Windows?

    Kevin Federline has a hit record? I guess I am out of the mainstream.

    But is right clicking the taskbar supposed to give you the same preferences? Indeed, should right cling the task bar give you preferences at all? On my KDE setup, right clinking the taskbar allows me to add and/or remove applications. Should that be done in the Control Center? Also, right clicking the taskbar, clicking Configure Panel, and then clicking the taskbar icon gives me the same window as Control Center -> Desktop -> taskbar.

  7. Re:Bah! Powersaving Laptops on Mobile Processor Showdown · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Some people run Apache (for web development), gcc, LaTeX, etc. Do these hotel kiosks support them?

  8. Re:What about heat saving? on Mobile Processor Showdown · · Score: 1

    Is that Fahrenheit or Celsius? 80 degrees Fahrenheit would be good, but 80 degrees Celsius would be scalding.

  9. Re:Mod parent WRONG on Essential PHP Security · · Score: 1

    What is setting an HTML form action to a directory supposed to do? Also, doesn't the input tag require a type attribute? Does your browser handle "post" as opposed to "POST" properly? Have you tried escaping the inner quotes on the third line?

    Also, I tried that on my machine without Tomcat and it didn't do anything, either.

    But if it's all hardware, then the question is would it be easier to hack drivers than to hack keys?

    Yes, I was aware that we supported both Hussein and Bin Laden. But my question (in some form) still stands. What can we as private citizens do about this?

    I was aware of the Mossadegh affair, I just never realized that a nation would avenge itself by accepting the rule of Khomeini.

    The US would have sold (or given away, if it came to that) chemical weapons to Satan himself if the Evil One promised to use them on Iran. Yeah, that's what happens when you take a nation's embassy. Also, the Indians and Pakistanis could have requested that India not be partitioned.

    I was not aware that Holocaust denial was a crime in the US.

    You complain that you are subject to Western democracy and capitalism, which is interesting. I suspect that many people in the Middle East would prefer such to the dictatorships which they currently "enjoy". If you have democracy and don't want it, then try to change, but stop playing the helpless little victim.

    If no one is killed by a depiction of Mohammed, then no one should complain.

    Which Western power started the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1989), or the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait (1990)? Or the Indo-Pakistani war? And if these aren't major enough, is this due to a lack of aggression, or a lack of "majorness"?

    Also, why are non-Moslems bound by the prohibitions of Islam? Should non-Moslems be subjected to Sharia "law"? Should non-Moslem women wear burkas and veils? If Islam declares that science is decadent, should we just close our eyes?

    To a Moslem, depicting the prophet is totally forbidden

    To an atheist, praying towards Mecca five times a day is forbidden

    If atheists are to tolerate people praying towards Mecca, why can't Moslems tolerate people depicting the prophet?

    That depends on how high the cliff is, as well as how the vehicles fall. A Porsche doing a nose dive should have a high terminal velocity due to its aerodynamics. If the cliff is only a few hundred feet high, then terminal velocity might not even come into play.
