Yes that's the theory, however people scream "child abuse" even if they parent looks at their kid wrong, yet quite honestly the kid away with doing whatever they want simply because the parent is too afraid of kid playing the "child abuse" card.
Additionally, your arguments of fighting for rights seem to mostly just apply to so-called "moral" issues, which big businesses and in turn the bribed^H^H^H^H^H^H^H elected officials don't care about nearly as much as what impacts their profit margin.
Last I heard, adults can smack kids, but kids aren't allowed to smack adults...
Where the heck did you hear that? If an adult even so much as thinks about smacking a kid they get their kid taken away (if it's their kid) or they get jailed... Kids on the other hand practically get away with murder just because they're kids; I think you have this backwards.
I personally use rar because it can store filenames that can contain unicode characters, something that zip can not do (or at least the zip programs I've used can't)
Bart: Uh, say, are you guys crooks?
Tony: Bart, um, is it wrong to steal a loaf of bread to feed your starving family?
Bart: No.
Tony: Well, suppose you got a large starving family. Is it wrong to steal a truckload of bread to feed them?
Bart: Uh uh.
Tony: And, what if your family don't like bread? They like... cigarettes?
Bart: I guess that's okay.
Tony: Now, what if instead of giving them away, you sold them at a price that was practically giving them away. Would that be a crime, Bart?
Bart: Hell, no!
Tony: Enjoy your gift.
Is there a game from id I don't know about? I don't know of one from id where the point is to "kill all the males, dominate/screw all the females and get all the wealth"...
I work at a university, and I downloaded it once and installed to a 50-machine computer lab and placed the executable in our software repository (where I know several people have installed and used it). Total for me is only about 2 downloads, and I know of several other departments on campus that have done the same and often on a much larger scale (100+ machines from a single download would not be uncommon).
I can see a lot of use for a system like this. Not so much day-to-day, but there are times I'm on vacation, traveling for business, working strange hours that throw off the "feed cat" routine, etc. Being on something like Linux (or anything I could ssh into) would be really nice so I could dispense food manually when I was away.
I personally hate mowing my lawn, however killing pests is a great opportunity to bring out the ol' katana and have some fun... it's like a small party and it really freaks out the neighbors.
No, I had NetBSD on it for a while about 4 years ago; it's running FreeBSD now... I used that machine to test various crap before putting things onto production servers (my first Jabber server was there, for instance). In short: NetBSD will run on a toilet. Oh, and it's not an ITX board, it's a full size AT board with a Pentium 75 (overclocked to 100Mhz). That's one toilet where it's good not to stop running:)
Getting started on projects is easy, the motivation drops when for month after month management pulls you off of various projects when something less interesting comes up just to outsource most of the development... The real cause of stress (at least at my job) is never being allowed to finish what I start and seeing my work taken from me, finished by a third party, only to see if come back destroyed.
Tron has no plot, it's just a bunch of idiots in unitards running around to show how stupid they can look (I'll admit, I've seen more than 5 minutes, so you're probably all alone; it was shown after an ACM meeting recently, so in the area to which you refer, likely very alone).
Or you could do what I do to secure my wireless network: I allow anything that wants to connect to get an IP, they just can't do anything with it other than connect to one port on one machine that is running OpenVPN. Once connected, all the traffic going over that link is encrypted. No WEP, no WPA, etc and it was really easy to set up on a cheap OpenBSD box with pf.
Again, not necessarily. Larger stars can keep themselves "up" using a slightly different fusion process (CNO cycle) which has a higher energy output. The larger main sequence stars (above about 1.3 solar masses) use this cycle and have higher energy/hotter core temperatures than a P-P only reaction.
I don't belive that Longhorn would boot fast enough for that even with a 10GHz processor
You mean I shouldn't?

So I shouldn't be reading 10 slashdot articles, reimaging 5 machines, recompiling the FreeBSD kernel, and making breakfast all at the same time? Then someone needs to extend the day to be 87 hours long...
If it doesn't block 100% of the signal (which it doesn't), is it really worth doing? Why not just use something like authpf to keep unauthorized people off the network? If worried about people sniffing the contents without being on, why not use a VPN to encrypt all the traffic? That seems far better than this anyway, and it'd be practically free to implement on a cheap box running OpenBSD and OpenVPN...
I disagree: Doom 3 hyped the graphics beyond belief and they lived up in that area at least enough to be satisfied (i.e. not feel they completely lied about it), however they hyped a new game play experience which was completely false. WoW however hyped its massive quests and challenging game play online, and it did live up to it and in many areas exceeded my expectations. To imply that no game lives up to its hype is not at all true, though I'll admit that it is more often the case than not. My original post merely meant that games receiving lower ratings/bad reviews may be receiving that as a result of being over-hyped (not just hyped in general) and not living up to it. In the long run, this over-hype hurts sales as word of mouth and reviews will say "this game was over-hyped" and people will associate that as "this game wasn't that good". If id had said "Classic FPS game play with revolutionary new graphics engine" the sales would likely still be as high (since it was playing off the Doom name) and there would be different expectations for those writing the review.
hmmm 100TB, so 100000000MB (if they market it the way a Hard Drive company would), at the average of 200MB for every 24 minutes (based on my collection of stuff) what would put us at about 22 years of constant video...
I'd love it

If I was still a kid I'd love my parents to give me a Knoppix CD: it would show that not only did they know what it was (at least sort of), but they'd have known how to get it and burn it. That much computer literacy is the best gift one can give...
Games like HL2 and Doom 3 were not what I would call "bad" games (though, I was really disppointed in Doom 3 especially), the main problem is that they were all overhyped (and this is what I feel is the reason for the disappointment on many people's part). How many years had we been hearing about Doom3 and how revolutionary it would be only to get something that really lacked gameplay and had graphics that (although good) didn't live up to the hype? WoW on the other hand was IMO as good as advertised and deserves this.

Kids really need a good beating every now and then, just ask Maddox; he's right about everything.

Reminds me of a Simpson's quote:

That's true, but why aren't they charging based on number of pipelines, then?
