For hundreds of thousands of years, you had all of about 13 years to 'grow up', and in those 13 years you were faced with death, distruction, disease, raping, pillaging and plunder. That's not even mentioning that you were put to were as soon as you could walk. This notion of "childhood" that the author speaks of when he says...
'pushed by market forces to act and dress like mini-adults and exposed via the electronic media to material which would have been considered unsuitable for children even in the very recent past.'
ONLY existed in the recent past. There has only been a very brief moment in human history where 'childern' were not exposed to 'unsuitable' things. Have you ever read any childrens fairy tales that are more than ~50 years old? Obviously the author hasn't. Whenever I read articles like this, I just hope that these 'children' can do better at understanding the world than mine and my parents generation.
This kind of thing does make me think that, maybe, I shouldn't be so hard on these 'young earthers' who think the world is only 6000 years old. Since, there seeems to be an even larger group that thinks the world was created in 1950.
But phone companies and ISPs are corporations, and we all know that only corporations are first class citizens in the US. We have no right to expect equal treatment to a made up entity.
"Did any of the personal emails request the dude not post the naked pictures?"
No but, when those pictures were taken, they immediatly fell under copyright for the photographer. They were clearly sent for private viewing to a specific individual, so there was not only no explicit permission to redistribute the copyritten work, but there was no implicite permission either. There has clearly been a federal crime committed here, and the individual who violated this law should have his home immediatly raided, his computer equipment siezed, be sentenced to the appropriate jail time, and have to pay the current maximum restitution for copyright violation.
Just because these individuals were not big RIAA/MPAA corporations does not mean that they do not have the same legal rights to copyright. So, until copyright gets overhauled with something a little more sane, copyright is an obviouse and legal way to crush the guy who did this.
As rarely as I can say it, MS seems to be doing EXACTLY what should be done. In fact this could be the tipping point that moves us from IPv4 to IPv6. With 95% of the worlds desktops using IPv4 exclusivly, it made no sense worrying about IPv6 in the routers, and it would have been suicide to go to a pure IPv6 implementation. With Vista, most people will, in a few years, upgrade to Vista, switch to Linux or OSX, or be ready to accept being cut off from direct access to the internet. That means that 95% of the worlds desktops with be IPv6 first and formost, and ISPs can confidently move to an IPv6 backbone without fear of cutting off their customers.
Either way, I don't think that NAT is dead. It might change form a bit, but those in control of the numbers are not likely to just start giving them away, just because they have an over abundence of them any more than the Media Barons just give out music just because they have an over abundance of copies of that.
The problem is that there is so much BS from various 'environmentalists' that a rational person has to question the validity of what is being reported. Just listen to how often the comment 'What right do we have to exploit Mar's environment?' comes up. There is a very large contingent of Neo-Luddites who feel that post ~1960 tech is evil and will destroy the world. (mind you the exact date moves around a bit) These people often have fancy titles, and sometimes even legitimate education. It does not stop them from making dishonest statments for the benefit of thier religious beliefs.
There are plenty of examples of fake "good guy" industries that make a lot of money by spreading fear. It keeps the funding coming. Given most peoples limited resources to do world wide, large scale research, not taking the word of someone with a financial incentive to push an idea irrelevent of whether it is true or not, is not a irrational.
Don't forget to add that they can interfer with IR communicatons, and can randomly send signals to your electronics. I don't know if it is only some brands, but I have found that there are times that CF bulb wreck havoc with my remotes.
When I bought an Alienware 4 years ago, I thought the hardware was top notch, but the service was beyond crappy. I was pretty convinced that there shipping department was being run by somebodies nephew.
I always liked the ploy of fillig burritos with wasabi. Wasabi is a regular food, even served in restaurants, but one good bite of a wasabi fille burrito, and you will identify the theif right on. He will be the guy rolling around on the floor crying.
Of course I still don't understand why businesses don't fire people who steal. An employee who steals for other employees certainly won't have a problem stealing from the company. So, even if the business doesn't care about the moral problem being stolen from causes, they should be worried about their own bottom line.
Lets just replace global warming with eternal torment in Hell. Guess what. Using your logic, everyone should instantly become Christian, "Just in case". This is faulty logic. There is a very large 'Global Warming' industry. There are plenty of people making a lot of money off of scaring other people. There are also a lot of people who have a social/religious agenda aginst comfort and progress. Given that, saying that we should all do without because maybe some fearmongers are right seems kind of silly.
I'm just waiting for the day that we stop raising millions of plants for slaughter. Just because they are a "lower" life form, animals think it is ok to kill them by the billions. Often eating them while they are still alive. Human in perticular are known for raising these peaceful life forms packed tightly together in the most unnatural ways. While cows have been known to kill a human now and then, showing they at least could have a fighting chance, plants are 99.999% pacifists. Never actively attacking a human. When will the murderous vegitarian agenda end? When will they stop arbitrarily choosing what life is worthy of murder and what life is not?
Every insurance company discriminates based on age. The problem with this is that we, as a society, have said that discrimination based on age is wrong. Just as discrimination based on race, religion and sex is wrong. If the insurance company found that people of Mexican decent were 6% more likely to have an accident, and had the statistics to back it up, would you be ok with charging these people higher rates just because of their ethnicity?
Now, I now your going to play the "but the children" card. For hundreds of thousands of years, human have reached adulthood by approximatly the age of 13. Unless your genetic line has had exposure to some severe gene altering environmental factor, 13 is still the age of adulthood. No wonder we have problems with 'teenagers'. We take adults and tell them that for the next 5 years, you don't have to accomplish anything, and someone else is responsible for your actions. How many people do you know would be a problem if they were told that at 35? The 16 year old not being 'responsible' enough to care for a child is not a genetic issue, but instead is caused by a problem legal structure. We have created an almost 100% welfare state for adults between the ages of 13 and 18.
Just look at the pictures of the two women. They look nothing alike. Steen was believable as someone involved with high end government work. Higgins is not.
The problem these people have is that they precive the extra features as adding expense and more parts. This is largely not true. The phones already have a processor and a display. Radio requires extra parts (but the cost is virtually $0), and the video playing requires a better screen. The better screen just makes everything else more pleasent to use. Other than that the rest is basically software. These people complaining about phones getting more features are in the same category as people complining that computers are too fast and have too much memory. After all, the C-64 computed just fine, and that is what we should all stick with. Anything more is just making computers more complicated and expensive.
My LG VX3300 that I got free from Verizon does that. I did have to buy the $35 cable, but it plugs into my laptops usb port and works like a regular modem. The billing is just air time, so on nights and weekends it is free to use. That is great because during weekdays I am almost always near a real internet connection anyways.
The one drawback is that it is a modem. It is not a broadband connection. The speed is similar to a 56k modem. Don't expect to download your favorit Linux Distro. Not even DSL.
The problem isn't that she is female. The problem is that she is the typical, I can't act, so we will just have me unconvincingly talk tough to compensate. The original Wier was a far better choice. It is unfortunate that they replaced her when they started Atlantis.
It is just painful to watch the writting too. This person is supposed to be THE top international negotiators in th country. How is it that whe is so easily offended, so poor at deplomicay, consistantly suprised by peoples real intentions, and cannot cross over into morally gray areas to get the best deal possible. Come on, when your a top government anything, you have seen plenty of really bad things done with the greater good in mind, and likely plenty of really bad things with the greater money in mind.
Now, if you want to compare a show to Voyager, that would be Battlestar Galactica. They even have the same robot chick. A tall hot part machine that looks human hot blond named Seven vs. a tall hot machine that looks human hot blond named Six? At least on Tripping the Riff, they made Eight a brunette. Of course even with a bigger difference, it was clear they were doing a parody.
Bzzzt...Wrong. I don't know about your state, but here in California, you have to have done something pretty serious on purpose or quit to be ineligable for unemployment.
Besides. If you must go, it is better to be fired. If you quit, you are often not eligable for unemployment. If your pride can't handle it, just ask your employer at the next layoff/firing if you can resign instead. You can be sure they will not only let you resign, but they will be happy to do it.
You are aboslutly correct, and it seems that you would have the added benefit of being the most secure storage site on the plan... eh... in the solar system.

Funny how the anti-cell phone Luddites can be twice as rude as anyone with a cell phone and not even realize it.

Why does the guy have to be dead?
It was an MP3 player on my laptop.

Not from my search. The current Wier is Torri Higginson. The original was Jessica Steen.

Don't you mean 'goatse'?
Or just steal the fingers with the prints.
I like my anonymity too, but I really like having my fingers staying attached to my hand.
