He's free to put whatever content he likes on his own site (provided the content itself is legal), and he's not obligated to preserve anything that someone else links to.
I did RTFA, and my only question is where is the ESRB? Shouldn't they be getting involved for people (esp children) clicking on a link and being shown such things as slaughter house pictures.
I demand that this jack hole's burger game be given a M rating.
and please, for your own sake, dont go around admitting that you actually took the 'y2k end-game scenario' seriously....
I didn't believe it would be happen, but I don't believe in tempting fate.
I didn't go all out. I just had afew days worth of can goods, 2 cases of water, and the 5 gallon buckets of for non drinkable water applications.
Do you know how hot it gets in attics in the south? Water bottles and canned food alone would pop. Also many attics aren't set up with a board floor. Most I have seen have a small section where they can store the Christmas tree, etc right inside the entrance and that's it. Seriously though this is hindsight and similar to saying everyone in the world who has ever been hit with a terrorist attack should have months of water stored right this moment in case the water supply is poisoned.
As a matter of fact, yes I have. Ofcourse I not only stocked up on crap for y2k, but also filled eight 5 gallon buckets incase water was inturpted so things like toilets could be flushed.
But then again, I'm what they call responsible. If it were me, I'd have crap like the civilian version of K rats. They come in a sealed package, are about as thick as a slice of bread, and about 8x5 inches. The suck ass to eat, but you will survive.
Now, he "shares" some of the songs he ripped from a CD or someone shares a song with him in return. Now "sharing" is a crime and it shouldn't done.
That's the same as "selling is legal, fucking is legal, why isn't selling fucking legal?".
Bottom line is law (precident or otherwise) has not caught up with the Technology. Until such a time, we will have BS like this.
Original Quote:When you're raised in a hurricane area, you're indoctrinated EVERYWHERE basic Civil Defense survival especially in the case of a hurricane. That includes stocking at least 2 weeks food.
Your Quote:Lot of good that 2 weeks of food does you when you're trapped in your attic and the water's coming in. By then the food's either soaked in crud or floated away.
While I agree with 90% of what you say, I feel I must point this out.
If you live in a Hurricane/Flooding area, why don't you store emercancy supplies in the highest spot you can find? I mean for cripes sake, how much of that area is below, at, or barely above sea level? I'm not trying to lessen the pain and misery of the sitution, but still. My heart goes out to the folks who have been displaced or worse.
If it were me, I'd have had some emergancy stores in the attic. Where I live the possibility of a tornado is real. I keep my emergancy stores in the basement.
What these kids did sounds like the battle happening between many corporate IT-departments and employees.
Corporate IT departments erect all kinds of barriers for users to use certain applications and generally don't explain why these barriers are there. The most common answer I have gotten was: "Security". ICT-security is in my jobtitle and I know these guys were bullshitting me. Other things you hear are maintence, complexity or my favourite one: "It is our policy" and "The department heads agreed on this". Man, your job must suck.
- Mine allows me to use instant messanging,
- Pretty much gives me a wide open connection (including access to the newsgroup server),
- I downloaded drivers I needed for my laptop on to my USB thumb drive, then transfered them to my laptop (so I could surf at work)
- We have several demo wi-fi routers (which I have the WEP key for)
- And I get pretty much any software I want installed on my box
It pays to make nice with the NOC guys. *manical laugh*
When I got in trouble for hacking my high school network, we all got 50 hours of community sevice!
Sucks to be you. When a friend and I got caught (I got caught red handed), we got a stern warning and threated to be thrown out of class if it happened again. Ofcouse they also killed our admin access accounts too.
SO you are upset about what? That communications people who volunteer their time and equipment - put their lives at risk to help others and spend their own money doing this were very busy doing what they do that they couldn't be grunts to help your mother move her oxygen?
Why didn't you get her oxygen out of there?
I happen to live 2+ hours away.
And I didn't expect them to help move it. However my point was why didn't they call some form of services on their handy dandy, high tech radio network to help? You know like the red cross, the local authorities, somebody.

I'm friends with quite afew Ham's. While most are brilliant on in regards to their electronics knowledge, most of them take a very dim view of it's usefullness in this day and age.
My question is last year when my grandmother's house was filling with water (twice) thanks to Francis & Ivan. Where were the ham's? The hams (along with nobody elese) provided no assistance in getting the several hundred pound oxygen tank/assembly out of the house ahead of (or back in after) the flood waters.
So, I'm not impressed by the smoke & mirror's claim of the Ham mafia about thier own usefullness, or justifying their existance.
Have any news articles pointed out anything worthwhile that Ham's have done during this whole disaster.
I RTFA, and nowhere does it mention Ham's. Trying to take credit for something you had nothing to do with?
Unemployment is the number of workers who are actively seeking employment.
If you're unemployed and playing video games all day, then you're not seeking employment, hence the lower unemployment rate.:)
Either that, or people are getting off their lazy asses to go get jobs to afford the newest & hottest video games and systems.
That's the problem. 90% of all stastics are worthless.
This is almost as bad as the news article I read afew days ago where a South Korean man logged into a game at an internet cafe.
About 48-50 hours later, his friends came looking for him and he told them he would be going home soon. Shortly there after, he died. IIRC it was from heart failure from lack of sleep.
What happens when I download 1 copy and throw it on my flash drive or CD to install on ailing computers that I work on?
I may install that same installation file on 10 computers.
For that reason, the number of downloads are moot, and not accurate.
I mean W2K has been around for about... uh, 5 years?
So isn't this just an old exploit that was just found?
This just goes to prove that hackers are getting as lazy. I mean it took them 5 years to find this hidden feature.
Or maybe MS programmers have more forsight than we give them credit for.

what ? the at&t phone wasn't cheap and mass produced ?
"cheap" & "mass produced" are relative terms. What may have been cheap and mass produced 25 years ago is more likely to be of quality than items that are mass produced in our current disposable FRU (field replaceable unit) society.
I had never heard of bob until now. But looking at the screen shots reminds me of the Navagator for Packard Bell.
It did basically the same thing for windows 3.1(1). That was the main I hated to do a factory restore on that computer. You had to manually remove the damned program after you were done.

Along with #8. I found an old AT&T rotary phone in the basement of my new house. The phone is in mint condition and I decided to use it as a novelity. To my suprise, this phone which has to be 20-30 years old has better sound quality than any of my new "modern" corded or cordless phones.
Just goes to show that cheap & mass produced do not mean quality.
What happned to/.'s being nerds and generally smarter than your average person. I've seen some of the most igonrant posts regarding this article that I have ever seen.
First off, the US offically apologize for the bombing's many years ago. Where as the Japanese have refused to apologize for the bombing's of Pearl Harbor, or any of the other deeds they have done in WWII. The Japanese are not innocent, and have as much blood on their hands for WWII as the US does.
While we're talking about a 'colored' view of history, what about Japanese text books trying to re-write history to lesson Japan's guilt during WWII? Is this an offical revision of history in the making?
I also find it troubling that/.er's are judging events of 60 years ago by today's standards. The world was a very different place 60 years ago. The world (as a whole) had basically just came off of 31 years of on and off conflict (everyone knows the seeds of WWII were sewn during WWI). People were weary of war and wanted to move on. Infact, WWII was the last war in a long list of wars. Anyone remember the Franco-Prussian war (1870-1871)? What about The Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905)? The Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878)? If you look at the history of Europe, the seeds of WWII *could* be traced back to the early 19th Century, the Napoleonic Wars, and the web of treaties and conflicts that came about because of them.
There was also the mention of hundred's of thousands of Japanese citizens that died in the bomb's. What about the millions of European citizens that died or unknown numbers of Asia's that the Japanese used as fodder.
In conclusion, no side is completely guilty or innocent. All sides deserve some blame for the events that happened. I'm tired of the posts that 'The US is evil for using the A Bomb' or 'But Japan deserved it' posts.
I realized later in the day that the asshat that posted wanted to use his/her mod points to mod their own post back up.
As for the rest of your post, thanks for the update Captain Obvious.
As for the original comment about politicians not giving a shit, if you just figured that out, you really need to be riding the little yellow bus. The US political system is flawed in so many ways, that I choose not to address the issue rather than to say that it is "flawed". But where should the child be held responsible for the sins of the parent?
That's my major objection to the original post, which you seem to have totally missed the bus on.
What we need is a bulldozer to run over the children of every republican congressmen (at the state and federal levels,) not enough to kill them.. just force them into a fucking wheelchair, permanently. Then we'll see some opinions change.. until then, these scum sucking bastards will keep on promising their hardcore religious base that they'll protect america from the insidious & godless liberal infiltrators, fuck science, fuck progress, and fuck you america -> I'm getting elected again!
What kind of fucking maniac are you? Your publically advocating the maiming of innocent children for what you preceve as the sins of the parents.
You should have your spine severed somewhere between your brain and your body....no wait, it's already happened for you to make such a hateful comment.
I'm all for progress, better life through science, and all that bull shit. But give it a rest. You wanna maim the people that are voting and deciding this bull shit on the government level, fine, I'm all for that.

You Said: I really had resolved to sit this one out, to not get involved with all the NASA-bashing that such a page is guaranteed to inspire. And then I saw this.
Personally I'm all for ligimate space research and spending. I however see no useful place for this. It has been stated in the past that any LT missions to say mars or the moon would rely on resources already there for things like Water and Oxygen. Reason being is they would be too costly to lug from earth.
That being said, NASA is not planning on transporting large quanties of water. If that wasn't bad enough, I'm willing to give NASA the benefit of the doubt.
Liquid Oxygen (It's already been addressed above, but for arguement's sake, let's take it in a different direction.), I think if there was liquid Oxygen in the passanger compartment (or anywhere else for that matter), NASA would have bigger worries than how it reacts floating around in zero gravity. Not to mention at anywhere near the temp of the crew cabin, liquid Oxygen wouldn't be liquid for long.
If that wasn't bad enough, I remember a video from my childhood where astronauts were playing with their food on the space shuttle, and it showed them slurping bubbles of juice and other liquids. Didn't that video from 20+ years ago prove the same thing as the ones in the DC9?
Lastly, I am aware of how many every day items were invented by NASA. These folks gave us Tang, and velcro just to name two things off the top of my head.
I have no problems with legimate science, I however frown on the junk science that wastes tax dollars. I consider the whole issue, junk science.
