YMMV, but for me their spam filter works just fine. Are you... signing up for these viagara letters? Sometimes we all need a little boost... well, not us... you.
Protecting children from porn is no different in my eyes than protecting them from cigarettes.
Also, if its all right to help people quit cigarettes, drugs, or alcohol, why is it wrong to help them off porn, its not like we're banning it or forcing something on people
Because they wouldn't do it to *lose* money, you're not going to *save* money?
You sure showed them! They probably don't make money off of the cards themselves, but the "loyalty" of "oh, I'm in the club, and this store gives me discounts" probably makes up for any cost of cards.
And its also doubtful that they did it on purpose. I mean, its one thing to accidentally expose a person to a disease that they had not been exposed to, but completely another to do it intentionally. It killed tons of people in Europe, and the effect was simply delayed in North America.
I was at a lecture by Evelyn Fox Keller, and she said that there has been a paradigm shift and we're moving from breaking up biology into tiny parts, to seeing the whole picture. Whether theres 100,000 or 20,000 genomes seems rather trivial.
How can you call an authoritarian government with a capitalistic economy socialist? Seems to me, the closest place on the map is the Nazis, with their very moderate economic standpoint, and they're extreme authoritarian attributes. I'm not comparing atrocities commited by the Nazis to this in any way, but they both kept a tight grasp on their citizens' minds, while used capitalism to their advantage.
Chech the Political Compass, the Nazis were very Keynesian in their economic standing, but hardcore Authoritarians in their social standing. As they say, put Hitler and Stalin in a room and avoid talking about economics, and they'd find a lot of common ground.
I picked up a copy of The American Conservative recently and was flabbergasted. It's even more scorching against Bush than any critique from the left. Under a headline that reads "Red ink conservatives," one story denounces the "mongrel of big government and big war." Another reports with alarm on a policy group in the Pentagon working to justify the use of "mini-nukes" in the war on terror and denounces "the fanaticism of the neo-conservatives."
The testiness is in fact everywhere in the serious conservative press in the U.S., where the word "neocon" is increasingly spat out with contempt. These progeny of conservatives are no longer that. In the gathering view of many conservatives themselves, they are the opposite -- liars, extremists and dangerous adventurers, all the more so when they're at the helm of the ship of state.
At a time when the speed of change always threatens to overwhelm us, the true conservative would be a useful thing -- one who can tell the children not to be so quick to dump the old ways and who could denounce pretentious humbug wherever it's found. In fact, this instinct does exist in most of us. To the extent that the old Tories, or the American Republican party, gathered some of that as a political force, now they no longer can.
The moderate conservatives have been marginalized by the radical ones for whom only money and power count. In fact, these "new conservatives" want to conserve nothing except corporate prerogative, and as such are radical agents of change. They are arguably more "liberal" than "conservative" -- confirming the accuracy of the French expression for "neo-conservative" which is, of course, "néo-libéral."
Do you understand the difference between Congress and Senate?
The reason the Senate makes it better for smaller states, is that it places seats based on states (2 per state), instead of how many people are in that state (like the House of Representitives).
The Electoral College gives MORE power to those large states, and especially to swing states. If anything, your logic is screwed. The Senate is made to protect the smaller states from the larger ones, and the Electoral College works in no such way.
Sony has been feeling the heat from Apple, and in their new players, they're committed to support MP3 as well as their crap format. Of course, this doesn't help the prospects of the new Network Walkman NW-HD1, which only supports ATRAC3.
It actually is a bit different in Japan, with surprising things like CD Rental Chains. For things like games, including Sega's OutRun2 for Xbox, it gets complicated!
Strangely enough, they're concerned about the game rental markets in the West!
Kikizo: You recently expressed concern about the large rental and used game markets that exist in the west, and that it might be an obstacle in bringing OutRun2 home - are you still worried about that, and will you be adding anything to the game to increase its longevity?
Makoto Osaki: I am still worried about that, but after many discussions with Kats Sato [Producer at Sega Europe], he gave us a lot of ideas about what enhancements should be put in the Xbox version, and I am satisfied that they will be OK for the conversion. Another reason is actually Sega Europe is really keen to bring OutRun2 to console. Europe is a very unique market and there are many, many driving game fans, so if Sega Europe is really keen and willing to do it then I am happy for it to happen.

Number 6: "LAAAAAG!"
Have you heard of a little nation - sorry, CHINESE TERRITORY - called Tibet?
I think they'd want to be broken off of China, considering that they're not Chinese.
See the Ukraine.
They can't tell if we're lying, MRIs are notoriously unreliable when faced with tinfoil hats.
Yes! and thats not all! For only $29.95 I will tell you the secrets of getting SOFTWARE on the INTERNETS for FREE!
SP2 users are unaffected.
Except that if Microsoft violates 100 patents, they can just license or buy the company out that owns it.
If one patent is broken by an OSS Project, its much more of a burden.

Windows users already have Approcket. It does the same thing as Launchbar.
I dunno man, after listening to William Shatner's new album, I dont feel the need for porn.

No, it was suspected that the Cerulean Studios were using GPL code in Trillian, but it has been determined to be false.
It is robot pornography. See Futurama.
My 12" Averatec laptop has a PCMIA port, but thats not really a subnotebook.
