But they are starting to ban pornography on ALL mobile phones here (wonder how that works on internet enabled smartphones) and of course violent video games.
It's all downhill from here. The hippies are winning:)
Something which, in many cases, is just not possible a pure hippie mindfuck.
Let's assume we have a small business owner with a 5 employees. He wants to hire a 6th. He'll never hire someone whom he dislikes because of race, so why not allow him to write that down?
Well, the whole McCainObama Election thing was very interesting to watch from here (Switzerland).
I'll have to admit that i didn't particularly like McCain, but Obama seemed worse - he wants to introduce most of the problems Europe has to the US, which so far i saw as a better country as they didn't seem to make the same mistakes as most European countries (they made others, of course).
The problem that seems to be the same here and in the US is that politics is more often steered into the subjective "People" direction than an objective "Policies" direction.
Ok, granted, not in German, but is there anyone in Germany using the internet and NOT able to read English?
I'm not German either, but yes, there are many Germans that don't speak English. And a lot of them even work in IT, where English is basically a requirement.
Germany serves as a reminder of what will happen to a country if you vote far-left too long.
Yeah, but most people, even terrorists killing innocent people, think what they're doing is the right thing or at least part of an "the ends justify the means". There are of course exceptions.
OSS developers do not owe their users anything - they do not have a formal support agreement, binding them legally to support whatever they created.
If you really depend on something, you'll need to ensure that you have the proper legal agreements in place to ensure continued support.
If you're a single person, this is practically impossible, unless you have really huge amounts of money or understand every piece of OSS software you use, neither of which is very likely.
If you're a corporation, the only way to do this is to either hire people with the necessary technical knowledge to maintain a given project (which is the big advantage over most commercial software, for some commercial software you can get the source code, which is easier the more specialized an application is).
Or you do it the old fashioned way - you purchase support agreements from another company that supports the available OSS products - Red Hat and Novell offer this.

Yes, because setting appropriate boundaries for your children based on their maturity is the true sign of a fascist overlord.
There are no appropriate boundaries for a 16 year old - that's two years from being a complete, functioning adult that can be sent overseas to kill people. 2 years is almost nothing.
Yeah, but that doesn't make you any less of an obsessive control freak asshole.
What you're doing may not be outside legal bounds, but at 16 you should give your kids some freedom to learn on their own.
Yes, that involves looking at perspectives that DIFFER from yours. After all, people generally like to make up their own opinion based on verifiable facts, not just what you're telling them.
Pornography teaches about the basic concept of the modern western well.
Whatever makes money and is legal is going to be produced. Whatever makes money and is illegal is probably also going to be produced.
Something important to be learned for a kid (and even adults) is abstraction. People get paid to produce movies, pornos, whatever. It is not forced, and doesn't damage anyone.
I'm not saying that you should put 9 year olds infront of nonstop pornography, but explaining them that the world is big and bad doesn't seem as such a bad first step. Mostly because that may avoid them taking to long until the realize it.
Ever wondered why all those phishing scams worked? Naive, greedy people. You'll never get rid of the greedy part, but the naive one you can kill.
Most of the applications are extremely dated, still using 5250 as user interfaces, many of them not up-to-date on database technology (Unjournaled, without commitment control, without constraints).
A heavy set of developers that refuse to stray from platform-specific languages that were created in the 80ies and have only marginally been modernized (RPG). Most of those developers also prefer unjournaled, unnormalized databases made in the 80ies.
Running modern software on the i is a complete pain in the ass, as e.G. Java is slower on the small machines than a laptop and PHP/MySQL on the platform just doesn't make any sense.
No, the only reason to use an i is when you're stuck with some legacy software you can't afford to replace just yet.
I was stuck with a side job to administrate IBM POWER running IBM i (formerly known as AS/400), and their virtualization capabilities aren't that grad.
It took them until V6R1 that was released in the beginning of 2008 to allow for sharing arms with multiple LPARs, something that every x86 virtualization solution could do from the beginning.
It took them until the POWER 6 Hardware generation to allow NIC sharing using HEAs. POWER 6 Hardware started being offered back in 2007, something that was there on the x86 virtualization market from the beginning.
LPARs are hugely expensive. They might make some sense with the really, really big machines, but in the SMB Market that uses POWER 520 or POWER 550 machines, they do not offer financial advantages.
Another point is licensing - IBM i is licensed by number of Core, not sockets. At around 5k-10k per Core, it is extremely expensive.
Plenty of people are stuck on ADSL, where you're lucky if you have 256kbps upload.
Hm? My old (consumer) connection at home was 6m/0.5m (ADSL). Currently at 20m/2m (VDSL). At my company, most of the branch offices have 20m/2m ADSL2+ connections.
If you only have 256kbps upload, you either live somewhere in the montains, or don't pay enough.
Remember a full sentence, then only type the first and last letter of every word. Replace one letter with a number, and stick something at the end.
e.G.
I'd like to buy a new car.

Works better in German, as we have more uppercase words.
It all depends on your learning technique - not everyone works for everyone.
After about a month, i have the password "in my fingers", i can just type it out without rembering the sentence. Even worse, when i have ot enter it on a mobile device or similar, i have to type it out on a PC just so i can look at what it is.

You should've known that left-wingers only think that their's a right to complain when something happens that doesn't agree with their view.
This problem is the same everywhere in the world.
Switzerland still exists.
But they are starting to ban pornography on ALL mobile phones here (wonder how that works on internet enabled smartphones) and of course violent video games.

It's the same in almost every European state - most anti racism laws undermine Free Speech.

A 16 year old needs privacy as much as you do.
Can I have the number of your dealer? I want to try smoking whatever crazy shit makes you imagine 18 year old girls going into IT.
The world is not the internet - there are ugly people in real life :)
You're not really clear on the concept of what "lesbian" means, are you?
He never said something about a consensual 3-way.

People that look at porn are all serial killers.
Yes, mostly when reading parenting threads on Slashdot. Face->Desk ensues.
Yeah, they gotta get used to 24/7 surveillance from early on.
The apple death squads just don't think you're important enough.
