  1. The power relationship between President Clinton and a White House Intern precludes sexual contact between them. Just as a 15 year old girl can not 'consent' to sexual activity with an adult, a far-down underling in the White House can not 'consent' to sex with the President. Legally, it's a murky matter, but ethically it's clear-cut. President Clinton was responsible to shut down the exchange if/when somebody like Monica Lewinsky approached him. That's the ethical basis that up to that time had evolved and was strongly advocated by the Feminist movement. But when Horndog gets stiff, the rules are tossed out. And Horndog's wife acted vigorously as his enabler.

    Those are the facts.

  2. Re:"Ratings" subject to change on Wannabe Prime Minister Andrea Leadsom Thinks Websites Should Be Rated Like Films (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Wrong. Said 'G' rated website would have a comments section, but it would have a short whitelist of permitted words. Remember the 'Dick Jane & Sally' book series? That's the level the comment section would be restricted to.

  3. Well, then, there should be a voluntary ratings system established. Websites can 'subscribe' to this rating system, and in such a way become entries on a whitelist. People who want to live highly restrictive but 'safe' lives online can configure their computers to only access websites that are on this whitelist.

    It might seem to the rest of us like the people who restrict themselves and/or their family to less than 1/10 of 1% of the content on the web are being foolish, but freedom is all about having options, isn't it? So people should be free to restrict themselves and/or their family if they wish.

    Probably. The "Progressive Left" and their opinion on Stalin in 1946-56 would be worth examining. No, not just what a few Trotskites were printing in their newspaper, either.

  6. So what's the rue for Philando Castile - the man who was shot when he reached for his wallet during a traffic stop?

    He should have waited to be told to reach for his wallet. It was a horrible incident and it could have been prevented if everybody involved hadn't reacted so strongly with poor communication.

    We have the right, as Americans, to tell the officer to give us the ticket or whatever else they want and then fuck off back to the fuckstation and eat their glazed fucknoughts with their fuckbuddies in blue. Disrespectful? Sure. A crime worthy of instant execution? Fuck you.

    Uh, the bad cops shouldn't be 'fragged' by the good cops. That's an insane idea. Obviously the baddies would take advantage of the situation as soon as the fraggings started. The bad cops should soberly be apprehended and face prosecution.

    You don't do that by waving around a placard and chanting. You don't do that with gratifying adventurist actions like hacking the government server.

    It's more gratifying in the short term to rage on the net, of course.

  9. something about a blowjob

    I think you mean that history will remember an extremely hypocritical and self-effacing reversal by the 'progressive' Feminist community on the matter of sexual harassment in the workplace. An enabling First Lady who actively worked to strike down and discredit the female victims of her husband. Said First Lady attempting to become a figurehead for the Feminist movement in the form of the First Woman President.

    It's so weird that if, say, a Gloria Steinem feminist in 1975 was asked if it could come to be, they'd say you were out of your fucking mind.

    But anyways. It doesn't matter. It's Hillary's turn to be nominated.

    Its also about control. Apple wants its customers to put music onto their Apple gadgets through iTunes, which is controlled by Apple. It isn't like my Android tablet where I can throw, a full season of video as mp4 files onto a flash card, plug it in, and I'm good. With Apple you can't have flash cards full of video to swap into the tablet when you want to watch some particular program. It all has to go through the Apple gatekeeper.

    I used to visually monitor small computers running by using a pair of 8 bit DACs connected to the address bus with the analog outputs connected to the X and Y of an oscilloscope in XY vector mode. Where the scope trace moved around on the screen showed the branching locations of the CPU. Even without really understanding which exact locations the processor was running through you could get a heuristic view of the program in action.

    The cheapest hobby computer would probably be a PIC 10F202. In the little 6 or 8 pin package they are 10 cents or so in quantity, the tools to code them are free and the hardware to flash the binary object into them is a few dollars. The 24 bytes of RAM and 512 bytes (12 bit words, really) of program memory keeps the coder honest and frugal.

    First, the British are not trying to throw off a government they elected, like in your example of California. The Californians elect representatives to the Federal government. The British representatives to the EU are unelected. California did not exist as a state before becoming a part of the USA. The UK was a powerful independent state for centuries before "becoming part" of the EU.

    As to your screed about racism. What total garbage. The citizens of the UK want to close the border to indiscrminant immigration. It isn't a matter of race. There are many people of many skin hues and cultural backgrounds within the Commonwealth who are British citizens. The key is that they are westernized citizens. It has nothing at all to do with race.

    Apple always has been about driving out the little guy. In the GUI for example, they drove out all the smaller competitors, i.e. the GEM Desktop, in effect handing control to Microsoft. They don't mind being the minority in a market so long as they can charge their cult a significant premium.

    In this music spat, Apple wants to make sure they get to charge a tax anytime anybody hears some music.
