    Wouldn't it be less perverted for a child to look at pornographic images of someone who is his own age than an adult looking at those same images?

    TBH... I'm not sure how to anwser that I was thinking about this eariler, When I look at porn, its usally teen's 19-23, but I'm 20 years of age. Does that mean when I'm 40 I'm going to be looking at mature porn, or will I actually not have the need because I will be hopefully married? (cue the nerd jokes) What are some other slashdoters oppion?

    One thing I'm surprized is that the RIAA/MPAA haven't tried to shut down the P2P programs with the goverment saying that they harbor child pornography.

It is simply amazing what bullshit laws you can get passed if you play it off that it is in the best interest of the "children".

    Well duh! Of course it's the arrogant users that are keeping people from trying Linux. That's precisely the reason why I use a Mac.

  13. Google as the teacher...... on Linux Snobs, The Real Barriers to Entry · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I have been using Linux as my OS of choice for a year now and am willing to admit I'm far from being an experienced Linux user. The main thing that helped me when starting to use Linux was Google. If I didn't have Google I don't think I would have solved most of my problems. From what I have seen any problems that I had there where already tons of information out on the web answering these questions if you looked and didn't take the easy way out and post without even trying to search for it on the internet.

    So says you. Have you ever seen recent Mac hardware from nearby (and I mean recent as in less than five years old)? It's not just beautiful, it's solid and durable. Look inside one and the attention to detail seems immediately obvious. I have never seen a PC box or laptop that comes close, although some try.

    Have you ever seen a toughbook....we ran over one with a 5 ton and it didn't even turn off, I want to see an Apple computer do that!

    The Revolution looks promising in it's own way, but if it can't pick up a decent marketshare then all of the gimmiks in the world won't save it


    Usually Nintendo's best games are made by Nintendo so I don't see that even being a problem. Look at N64, not many third party games, but in my opinion the system was awesome, include that it was only $150 at launch.

  18. multi-console ownership on PS3 Prices in Europe Revealed · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The article goes on to speculate that 'the days of multi-console ownership may be coming to an end for many gamers' based on the Xbox 360 and the PS3 prices.

    This is why I think the Nintendo Revolution will really take off. I've come to the conclusion that I am done with consoles and moved 100% to the PC. If I'm going to spend a lot of money on something that will entertain me I want it to have something that I can use for other then entertainment. Which is why I'm much happier buying a PC. Yet Nintendo's game consoles are cheap enough for me to pick-up and not feel like I wasted a ton of money on it if I only play it once a week at most.

    Meh, what a waste of a CD. And time. I suppose maybe if I can get up a virtual drive as an image writer and then go back through and rip it, it'd be something. But meh, I'll stick to, uhh, other acquisitions. As to Playfair/(j)HYMN, I hope you bought your tracks with iTunes 5 or earlier.

    Let's put an insecure OS on a beautiful machine and see if we can break it. Of course, this is only a lead in to making software that will be put on a CD to destroy a system if left in the CD drive and the user is told it will do something positive to their machine. OK, it will require social engineering and a upset worker in a software company to put this on a CD. OK, there are no IT people that get upset at company they work for. What was I thinking...

    I've played games that require Starforce 3...namely X3 and PoP:T2T. I can say that anyone willing to go through the required process to break these games has no life. Basicly, these games require a special piece of (illigal) software, and then, you have to physically unplug your IDE CD-ROM drive power cable. Every time you want to play That's something not many people are willing to go through, thus, Starforce is doing a good job. Now, read TFA, and notice that they are doing a little too good of a job; namely, harming legit systems. It's a mess.
