I know, this bothered me too. I'm NYU anyway but I grew up in Philly and now UPenn's campus and its the mark of a foreigner to mix up Penn State and Upenn because UPenn is in Philly and is Ivy. Penn State, however, is a great school (even if these days "state" in a school name is looked down upon for some dumb reason). Tag !pennstate if it bothers you.
Destroying CRTs isn't thorough, it's obsessive compulsive, bad for the environment and wasteful. Absolutely no information of use could be taken from a CRT unless you somehow managed to burn in 100s of SS# into the screen.
There is too much risk of even a so-called friend or sibbling surfing that crap and getting one's property seized and freedom hijacked. "I wasn't looking at this, officer, it was my so-called sibbling! He's younger than the person in the picture!"
I think the point is that recognizing a sexual attraction to a 17 year old is different than recognizing a sexual attraction to a 4 year old. Not that it is acceptable to cast 17 or 16 year olds in porn or have sex with them if you are a lot older, etc, but to simply walk by a 17 year old girl and recognize sexual attractiveness is unavoidable. It is a different case with toddlers/young children where having sexual thoughts implies a whole different issue. Then again I'm only 18 so whatever:P (AGE/2)+7 is the golden rule where 13AGE85 (the upper bound can increase with average life span).
I set up my own http proxy on my own webserver (well okay it was remotely hosted webspace but w/e) and pw protected it. Too bad it didn't work 100% being HTTP based and not a real proxy but its all good. This was like 10th or 11th grade so I could get onto Sconex, a pre-Facebook now dying high school networking site. At one point however, websense classified my website as Adult content so I had to write to them and angrily question how they had arrived at that conclusion. They apologized and fixed it.
Ahh you're forgetting, Gaia gave birth to the Titans because of Uranus the god of the Cosmos. Later they split up and she got with the God of the Oceans.
Yeah because Europe and Asia don't have their share of fucking problems. Sure this is bad press for America and I think it's stupid. But just shut the fuck up, this isn't a nationalist issue so stopping taking up shit against America because it stole your world domination 60 years ago (assuming you're European). Focus on the actual problem. For the record (once again assuming you are European) you have much more blood on your hands regarding religion. So go spend the next few centuries trying to wash that off and get back to me. Mods, feel free to mod me down, I have excellent karma and really don't give a shit. I know I'm trolling but I'm sick of these stupid ignorant posts on/. They are as stupid as these bills that are being passed.
see my post about Linux running on the same machine as XP dual boot (or if you dont want to, to make a long story short, linux ran great). Also I've had hardware issues in the past and fixed them (video card death, power supply death, etc)
Well mainly, (and this is with two video cards, one a high end ATI at the time and then later on a higher-end (for the time) Nvidia) serious system errors caused Blue Screens (which in XP equals a random reboot). Basically after running games for too long, everything was running quite hot and more often then not (sometimes as common as 30 minutes into the game, sometimes more, sometimes less), the computer would either *click* and restart or the game would freeze and the last 2 seconds of sound would repeat on loop. I would have to turn the computer off by holding down the power button and then when it turned back on Windows would prevent me with a system error saying something along the lines of a device caused the system to seriously fail. It always would point back to my video card, using standard drivers and no overclocking. I have 1gb of RAM a 3.0 intel processor, I upgraded my power supply before along with general upgrades because I am a computer nerd (hence my posting on slashdot) and yet Windows would always choke anyway whether its on applications that use a lot of memory or graphic intensive games. Sometimes physically cleaning the case out would help a bit but the fact is Windows just chokes on that kind of stuff in my experience. Whenever I played games I would be stressed out in the background because the whole time I'm trying to concentrate on the game crossing my fingers that this next room doesn't have too many monsters and that the system won't choke and literally just die. No end task, no kill process, just completely fucking die. And you know what else about your comment? I ran Doom 3 on my XP system on this desktop which I've already said was (or should have been) pretty powerful. Doom 3's settings had to be medium or high, never ultra and certain effects just brought the FPS down too much. Later on when I installed Linux on THE SAME SYSTEM AS A DUAL BOOT, I installed Doom 3 for Linux using the Linux binaries and the game data from my discs. I was able to get amazing FPS, NO CRASHES and tons of special effects + Ultra mode. So the fact is, my system was fine. I put too much time and money into trying to get Windows to REALIZE THIS. It was windows, not me and not my computer.
Not BS. I connect to wireless network (my school and my family's house) in seconds on Mac. I still remember the hassle me and my dad went through setting up a bunch of XP machines to a home network. The network itself wasn't so bad to set up but we actually wanted it to be secure so we made the ID random characters and hid it from plain site and used WPA (or maybe WEP since it was a while ago) AND had a whitelist of MAC addresses. It tooks days for Windows to be able to deal with all this.. sure it could connect to the linksys password free network a few doors down but trying to anything that was actually worthwhile, no way.

Don't worry about it :)
lol no, I meant "do you mean 'laymen's terms'?" He said "laments terms"

Layman's terms?
it should say "13 is less than or equal to AGE which is less than or equal to 85"

So it's the dancing baby of the 21st century?
What like Bill-Gates? Watch the positive moderation flow...
He clearly got this far on his own. Why should he hire someone now?
What's they're sign? If you two are incompatible according to the stars then you can forget about being compatible on Earth.
Ahh you're forgetting, Gaia gave birth to the Titans because of Uranus the god of the Cosmos. Later they split up and she got with the God of the Oceans.
That's where FDR came in :)
Maybe the answer is to stop outsourcing.
Now there's a throwback. I actually thought of that when I read the headline. Eegs.com was (is) such a cool site.
Strife and Conquest? But video games would never hurt us!
I like XHTML because it feels cleaner and I write to standards. What other reason would you use XHTML?
Yeah because Europe and Asia don't have their share of fucking problems. Sure this is bad press for America and I think it's stupid.

also the ATHF episode with shakes stupid gigantic body suit/phone
And like me I bet you probably never thought you'd be Mac fanboying on /. :)
