See.. I'm about to install something on a very sad looking box sitting in the corner. I was thinking about Linux, but the cute little devil makes me think I should try FreeBSD. Is it wrong to choose an OS based on the mascot?
I think it's safer to have a big guy with a gun open the door for the suspect rather than a 13 year old brat with a remote. That's my preference anyway...
You know how sometimes you can stare at something and not realize it? That's me and my daft self most of the time. So... even though you look you don't see, right? No one can prove you actually noticed it.
I read it more than once. It might have been because of my girlie crush on Aragorn, though. He's got to be the hottest fictional character ever. (for some reason it's hard to hear comic book guy saying that).
I wouldn't let my son use a computer in his room unsupervised. I do want to be able to cook dinner or brush my hair while my kid looks up something he finds interesting online. I have a fenced in backyard so my son can go out and play with a slightly lower risk of wandering away. I still have to check on him, but the fence helps.
All safety devices CAN give a false sense of security. You know those little bath seats they have so 8 month olds can sit up in the bath tub? There are idiots that think it's okay to leave an infant alone in those things. I'm not one of those idiots. However, when my son was little I liked the fact that I could take my hands away for a minute.
You are looking at this as though parents making mods or installing software are trying to prevent kids from looking at something they are actively searching for.
The real reason we want this stuff is so the kids won't stumble on to something bad they had no intention of finding. The lack of trust being demonstrated is a lack of trust toward every jerk on the internet that doesn't care about my kid.
That's my reason anyway. Does anyone here have kids?
It's nice tou know that you can turn your back for a minute, though. That's why I have a fenced in back yard. I know the kid can open the gate, and I know I still have to watch him.
I like filters. Sometimes you can accidently run across something you didn't intend to. I don't think you can stop someone that is set on looking at porn, but when my son does a search for beavers online I want them to be rodents.
We haven't complety gotten rid of Windows. (I'm sorry. Please don't hit me.) Anyway, it's nice to know that when I get over my addiction to a few games and apps I have somewhere nice to go.

On topic... I really am more interested in the other cases more. This ruling was predictable and meaningless. The settlement is not even a slap on the wrist.
For a while I was wondering if maybe the poor little MSN bot on my site was lost or something. It stayed for hours, but MSN still has a month old version of my site cached. Google bots are sooo much smarter.

Bender: That's puffin talk!

Penguins do really well when they have guns and they are pretty cute. I'm sticking with Linux on my main machine.
RTFA ;)
It won't be in beta until mid-August. The final release is expected in October.
You just read the headline didn't you?

You jest, but some of us have husbands that do just that.
I guess a world without gasoline would be nice, but the BP commercials on CNN have me feeling better about fueling up. ;)
Anyone going to watch 13 episodes of this guy? Please say no.

Ever notice that Legolas seemed to agree with your wife and me?
If LOTR was released today, for the first time, with no movies, fame or promotion how well would it do?
Should that be 'were' instead of 'was'? You snob;)

Isn't the second screen there so you can leave stuff like maps open? That way you don't have to keep going back and forth, right?
Was I not misinformed?
If it had come out last week and directly from Microsoft I would have agreed.
TNG? TNG?!? Say it with me "2001".
The idea of Titan holding the key to our understanding of pre-life earth has always been interesting, but a little too optimistic.
I mean, isn't Europa the one that's supposed to develop life?

Dude.. That was Mrs. Lovejoy/Moe.
Anyway, it's nice to have a bit of a filter so I can make dinner or something. I'm not asking for a nanny. Just a fence.
No, you can't say "no" to a child. What if they don't like you anymore?
Have I told you that I love you?

Wow.. bad spelling in one article and a bad catagory in another. What is slashdot coming to?
It's not really news anymore. It's not much of a surprise, anyway. I'm nore interested in the EU case. Oh.. this isn't anti-microsoft enough..
Microsoft is like.. the man.. and I am like.. the person being oppressed by said man. Yo.
