I agree. But having done some volunteer work inside prisons a few times, and having spent a significant amount of time conversing with pedophillic sex offenders, I can tell you one thing: unlike 'regular' porn, child porn plays to an entirely different audience. People who desire it see any child nudity as erotic.
That's sort of right. Technically it's 'when the government does it, that means that it is not illegal'. Amoral to be sure, but still a de facto part of every government in recorded history....eventually.
Sounds almost as promising as the tidal power generator my local PUD has been working on not building for years. I am sure that any day now they will be right around the corner from a great beginning.
...of the "small set of vowels" he was asked to produce. There are only 5 vowels (or 6 if you some hippie free-love weirdo and include 'y'). Let's say a 'small set' was less than half, so that's 2. How does one get 89% of 2 vowels correct?
They keep referring to the patient in the test as a 'volunteer' but also state that he was "paralyzed except for slow vertical movement of the eyes." So he what? Signed the release forms by slowly looking up and down? I am guessing they mean volunteer as in 'his guardian(s) "volunteered" him'.
Have you seen their recent blade server technology? While their support is awful, the hardware itself (namely the C-class blades) is pretty impressive.
I know there are still people that daily suck on raw coca leaves. And they don't consume the leaves, just (I imagine) a few milligrams of 'juice'. It's not killing or curing them. But is has made them coca addicts. Does that count?

Since the IT folks are often the most powerful employees of any company (in terms of how quickly a few people could essentially shut down an entire organization), I would support an idea like this. Of course, I would want something simple like (like this).
In large organizations, anyone with elevated, potentially damaging powers should be distinguishable on sight. The CIO should have to wear a gorilla suit just so it's fair.
Friend, my logic is not flawed. Both ones race and ones religion are federally protected in all democratic societies an the planet (at least on paper). People are not born fat (as black people are born black). And are no forms of worship that I know of that demand (or even encourage) obesity. There is no Constitutional protection for being fat. It's easy to point at the fat guy and laugh, sure. But it's also easy to point at the stumbling drunk or the teenager with raging BO. People are mean to other people sometimes. That is not a discrimination; that is life.
Maya Anjelou once gave a great statement on this concept. She said (among other things) "The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself."
Or one could say her life was made miserable because of her weight. The grotesquely obese (of which i am a member) are such by choice. There may be genetic traits that can lead one to being overweight, but so what. There are also genetic traits that make certain people's breath smell like death, or make people gravitate toward alcoholism. We are not animals. We are not slaves to every wisp of DNA-inspired urge or weakness. I, for one, am still fat because I have not yet chosen to make the lifestyle changes needed to lose weight. I am not a victim.
Slashdot Mirror
Remember when the 'Slashdot' mean 'News for Nerds. Stuff that Matters.'? Ah, those were the good ol' days.
Yeah, all those naked women running around in Schindler's List are a total turn-on.

I don't know if I have ever 'made Slashdot great' or whatever. But NoScript and ABP give me the same result.
And some sentences are repetitive by saying the thing twice.
Next time I fly I am going to use a paint-pen to write something clever on my ass and see if they notice. Maybe something like "open other end".
....I'd be happy with COLA. I have not have one since September 2008, and won't be getting one in 2010 either.

Oh yeah....their PCs were horrid. But since my very first computer (as an adult) was a Packard Bell I still get a misty when I think of it.

Sure, they call it that....and they don't. It's complicated.

Impressive. I can see you have said this hundreds of times.
No. It was clearly Dances with Wolves in space. Dances with Wolvatars, if you will.
So how is this a 'win' exactly? Sounds more like a tie to me.
I thought that too. I bet the whole thing is just his thesis for film school.
The only phone know of that can read this OOTB are the Android-based phones. Other, as far as I know, require the user to go find an app to do it.
