I have been there numerous times to the City Museum. In my opinion, if you don't walk out of there with at least a bruise or two, you didn't play hard enough. There are rules, yes but the rest is common sense. It seems to me that these individuals that had gotten hurt didn't have any to begin with and decided to start suing.
City Museum in St. Louis is a safe place, again, you have to have common sense.
About the Alcohol part...that is only served outside in a little shack of sorts. It isn't served inside at all. Yes the little shack outside connects to the inside but there is a bouncer or two that states that you cannot go beyond a certain point with your drinks. ID's are checked to verify your age.
Museum is open late on Friday and Saturday until 1AM, that is the latest they stay open.
In cooler months, they have a fire pit inside the jungle gym of sorts where people gather to not only get warm but occasionally, roast marshmallows and have smores. The fire was maintained by an adult not of the City Museum, but an adult with common sense.
The City Museum in St. Louis is a great experience time and time again. Every time I go, I always find something new I had not seen before. I enjoy going there and will be returning again toward the end of this month for a birthday party so I cannot wait.
Since their defunct Microsoft Live OneCare is leaving in June of 2009, this Stirling is replacing it. It kind of makes one wonder if this will fail just like OneCare did.
Agreed.
Besides, I think that whoever is using Firefox will continue to use it regardless of what IEX Browser comes out. The people that will be moving to IE8 will be those people that have used are privy to the previous IE Browser incarnations.
...as far as I can throw a CD and I can throw one pretty far. I just got to remember where I put mine at, I seemed to have "misplaced" them...WAIT, they are on my computer.
Back to topic. I don't trust this at all. Sure, the EFF is a great group but sometimes they get their ideals all in a mess much like this one. I just hope they aren't getting any monetary value from supporting this claim that it is a "promising new approach."
Either way, it sounds like people will still be sued, just by different individuals.
To Quote the article:
"...and over 40% think dinosaurs and humans cavorted together like in some sort of 'Land Of The Lost' episode."
If you believe the Bible, which I do, you can see that in Job chapter 40 verses 15 to 24, a possible dinosaur that Job called the behemoth walked with Man and was able to describe what it looked like. Also, in Job 41, the entire Chapter Job talks about the Leviathan. Just a heads up.
They could use this at Police Stations so that way they wouldn't have to use the fingerprint ink and such I would suppose.
Less cleanup, no paper towels to use to dry off your hands after you use soap and water to wash your hands. It would save some money in the long run....a very long run.
...Right to free speech?
Why would the government of Oklahoma want to silence an individual on his beliefs or his views of Evolution? It sounds like to me that they are trying to stuff a sock into his mouth to keep him quiet regarding this.
I believe that everybody should have a right to speak on whatever subject they want to speak on. Makes no sense to me...
...they want to do something like Windows.com and showcase all what Linux can do and be installed on and overall, share a wealth of information for all to enjoy.
It would be neat to see all of this and I can't wait to see what it will be like in the months to come.
?: I don't have any personal media to share. Can I still join?
!: Yes, and we'll even give you a free blog.
?: Is there an Ourmedia community?
!: Yes -- many communities. You can use Ourmedia for any legitimate purpose: as a social meeting space, a gathering spot to diss Big Media, a learning center for tips on how to create compelling video or photos, or for other reasons. It's up to you.
?: Hey, MP3s by David Byrne and the Beastie Boys are on Ourmedia. What are they doing here?
!:Ourmedia is for amateurs, hobbyists and professionals. We don't discriminate against artists just because they're under contract with a music label. We try to help bands, DJs and solo musicians achieve greater visibility, so it wouldn't make sense to banish artists who have achieved commercial success. Ourmedia is about inclusiveness.
?: Many artists like Byrne, the Beasties, Le Tigre and others are letting you remix, re-create and recirculate their works -- for free -- under a Creative Commons license.
!: I didn't upload my stuff, but I see it on Ourmedia anyway. Why?
?: If you assigned your work a Creative Commons license in the past, that means you agreed to share it with anyone. Ourmedia is about exposing and sharing works, so someone probably took the initiative to place your work on our servers for sharing. Please feel free to make changes to your work's media page; we'll make sure you have full access.
!: If someone uploaded your material to Ourmedia and it does not have a Creative Commons license, that means the person violated our Site rules and we'll remove the material. See our Deletion and retraction policy.
?: Why can't I leave anonymous comments?
!: This is a community. Only members may blog, post comments and participate in our Forums. Registering takes only a few moments.
?: Your site doesn't look complete.
!: Ourmedia is in alpha, which means we're still in our early stages (next comes beta). Instead of spending years working on the site behind closed doors, we decided to ask other volunteers to join us in building out the site and adding new functionalities. We're an all-volunteer open-source effort. Not to brag, but we've already come farther than a lot of sites with a full-time paid staff. And here is what's on our drawing boards.
?: Dude, there's some pretty harsh stuff on Ourmedia!
!: We can pretty much guarantee that you can find material on Ourmedia that you won't like. That's the price of visiting an open library and global town square. This isn't a watered-down, PG-rated, safe-for-the-FCC mass medium. Our Site rules explain that as a global repository, we draw the line at pornographic and infringing materials, but we are not in the business of censoring media we disagree with.
WOW! Damn, I was just wanting to know why we were doing this and not to be flamed or shit like that! Geez, you are a fucktard. I wanted to learn and instead, I get shit on for just asking some simple questions on why we and other space agencies are doing this. Sorry for actually wanting to learn.
Say a silent thank-you to the persistent troubleshooters of the world, without whom none of this would be possible.
Why do I have to say "Thank You" to a group of people that I have never seen? Or, or, why should I say "Thank You" to people that have taken pictures of a moon that I will never go to? Better yet, why say "Thank You" to people that have fixed a probe that I do not care about? Unfortunately, this is all useless information to me. Yes, the pictures from the probe look neat but how will this benefit me in the near future? To me, this mission was pointless and a waste of our money. Why must we explore a moon of Saturns 2.+ Billion miles away?
I am in a call center now for cell phones and here is my take on the recording issue...
It is used! Granted that our calls are not ALL monitored, some are, and they reach our Quality people, they make sure we are doing our job accurately. After 3 days, the recorded call is deleted. We do this all the time. The calls that were monitored are handed to our Supervisors and then handed to us as Associates. Call Quality for me at least has improved as I am told that I need to do things a little bit better than what I did. Apparantly I am making the Client we go through happy with the way I do my calls.

I am surprised they are not blocking or at least filtering this out like they have done to YouTube and other sites on the Internet.
Agreed.

That's right, if I die, it is my fault for not being born Superman.
I have been arrested.
:(
Last year as a matter of fact. Where I was at, they used ink. Bad thing was, it was in St. Louis.
Don't do that! Become a MIB agent and put your fingers in that device that erases your fingerprints. Hurts for a sec and then you are done!
They could use this at Police Stations so that way they wouldn't have to use the fingerprint ink and such I would suppose.

What about Green Lasers?

Are you sure that it wasn't put into that tin mint can and hosted through that way?
WOW! Damn, I was just wanting to know why we were doing this and not to be flamed or shit like that! Geez, you are a fucktard. I wanted to learn and instead, I get shit on for just asking some simple questions on why we and other space agencies are doing this. Sorry for actually wanting to learn.
