Can anyone please tell me what's wrong with restricting content like "Free mpeg sample! Download"? ANYONE can download them. Yes, including minors. This material should be hidden from everyone young enough to not have a credit card (call them minors or leechers, whatever you please).
I applaud this regulation effort. And let me add: About friggin' time.
Yes, but the main problem I see with other christian churches is that they judge the sinner and not the sin. If I felt attraction towards males (which I do not, btw), I'd be immediately expelled or called to repent - for something that I have not done at all. A common question homosexuals ask (at least those I have met on the internet) is "why does God condemn me for being homosexual if he made me that way?"
Finally, something I don't understand is that most christians i've met (again, on the internet) judge homosexuals in a much worse way than heterosexuals - even if heterosexuals engage in sex in their teens. And both homosexuality AND fornication are forbidden in the Bible. Double standards, anyone?
That's a nice assertion. Any argument to back it up?
TFA has a page dedicated to that. As much as the anti-gay christians tried to "cure him", they couldn't. So either God couldn't cure him, or God didn't WANT to cure him.
Why TF would a gay person want to be part of christianity?
Religion is chosen. Homosexuality is not. And only the looniest christian churches condemn people just because "they're gay" and try to threaten them with hell to convert.
As for the name, they couldn't come up with another 2-syllable adjective that started with the letter "E". And the two first adjectives ended up with "y":
I've had access to the source code for... Internet Explorer, MDAC, MSXML, the.NET Frameworks and CLR, SQL Server, SQLXML, Virtual PC, Visual Studio...
So? We all have access to the source code for Firefox, PHP, Python, Perl, MONO, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Xen, KDevelop, Code::Blocks,...
It's interesting. What this guy claims to be advantages, are precisely the FLAWS. Specially with Internet Explorer. Right now it would be much more secure if MS had open sourced it 6 years ago.
Uhh... these products aren't aimed at your desktop box. They're for use in server farms, where virtualization provides an additional measure of security
If windows apps (or group of apps) were virtualized, we could use activex webpages without having to worry about spyware. Just close the virtualization window and it's gone.
The same for e-mail, if you restrict write access only to the mail files, and all spawned process from the e-mail were virtualized. If it screws up, the most you lose is your e-mail, but no viruses or infections would be produced.
What to say of websites? Virus^H^H^H^H^Hfree games installation would be only temporary (or perhaps session based? Hmmmm interesting) and you wouldn't have to worry about becoming a botnet.
So yes, virtualization for Windows would be awesome.
Remember the episode where Marge asks for the tv producers to ban Itchy and Scratchy?
Suddenly all the kids "wake up" like the Awakenings movie, and begin playing outside.
_IF_ this product is "successfully" imposed on the people, we'll see more and more people go away from the TV into the internet / books / games / radio / whatever.

Here's one of the surviving animals.
for at least 1% out of Apple's 5% market share!
Does that mean they're responsible for 0.05% of the market share?
...as if millions of slashdotters applied for testing jobs at Microsoft and then were suddenly silenced.
I've seen these posts earlier, but what algorithm do they encrypt with?
Question. Is it possible for a chinese to connect to the TOR network and thus avoid detection?
huh?
*ZONK!*
What's next, will they force us to see commercials in video?
I already have enough with those annoying flash ads. With AUDIO.

That's what they think about US!

Especially since the link is to someone who has gay attraction, but thinks it would be wrong to act on that. So he doesn't. Is it a choice, or not?
Well, he's happy and feels loved by God, that should mean something for the rest of us.
Customers? Sounds more like a store to me than a church.
Amen, Brother!

An example of a homosexual christian is this guy.

It's a long list!
I wonder if Dapper +2 will be "Foamy Fish" or something. "Fiery Falcon" maybe? "Furry Fox"? Hmmm, that could sound interesting in tech support forums.
:P
"I'm having problems installing my Furry, pls help!"
Why must everything be "Edgy" now a days?
As for the name, they couldn't come up with another 2-syllable adjective that started with the letter "E". And the two first adjectives ended up with "y":
Breezy Badger,
Hoary Hedge
Edgy is a logical continuation to this trend.

Remember this gadget?
Who says there won't be a RFID-Sniper in the future?
Virtualization means running a nested kernel
:P
No, it isn't. Didn't you RTF... oh, right, this is slashdot. Nevermind.

Who says this bug didn't mess up with WINE libs, preventing OTHER programs from working correctly?
:)
Of course, we'll need a sandbox patch or something BEFORE windows viruses start affecting WINE+linux
... the day you buy from either of them you get an awful infection.
At least he could've gone fancy and use a Secret Decoder Wheel or something.
