A 4 year old should have no interest in boobs and flee from them should they be encountered.
This isn't really true. My kid is 5 and he loves boobs. Since his mom died, our neighbor comes over once a day to breastfeed him (and has since she passed away when he was 2).
He sees boobs on the internet sometimes but it doesn't faze him at all. He isn't looking for that. He'd rather watch Thomas the Tank Engine or Jungle Junction.
But it's definitely not something he flees from. If anything, it probably just makes him hungry.
I didn't mention, but this has also taught him how to read and spell many words. He needs to know how to spell words to enter them as search phrases into the Youtube and Netflix search box.
So it's educational, as well as engrossing for him.
My 5 year old has his own account on the Vista machine at home. He knows how to load up Chrome. He has accounts on Youtube and Netflix and can watch what he wants whenever he wants.
It keeps him occupied for hours at a stretch. It really frees me up to go shopping and other things that would have been tough with him along.
If a monopoly is happy to go along with a government decision to break it up, you can bet that there's some massive upside for the company. That doesn't necessarily mean better anything for the customer.
You really need to nail down exactly which platform you're talking about because the choices will differ depending on the platform.
For example, on Windows, you have either Notepad or WordPad. Now, I like Notepad because of its simplicity, but other people like their proportional fonts and formatting crutches. I guess you could splurge and go for something like Microsoft Word, but that's really overkill for most specification purposes.
Now if you're on Linux, you have a ton of choices. The easiest is Pine. If you've used Notepad, you'll most likely be able to pick up Pine pretty quickly. On the other hand, if you like needless complexity, vi might be the specification tool for you. You can do stuff like search based on regexes and copy and paste whole lines of text at once. If you're looking for something more fully featured, a lot of Linux platforms come with Emacs. I think it is a lot like Microsoft Word in that it has too many features that are simply unnecessary, but a lot of people like it.
Of course you're not using a Mac since these are not really programmers' tools. But if you are, I know there is a way to dual boot your system into Windows and get the full power of Windows without having to buy a separate PC. That's a pretty good deal.
When it comes to specifications, completeness, detail, accuracy, and readability are the most important things. Notepad and Pine are excellent tools to help you pound out good specs.
Did I say the US was friendly? I said it is a good ally to those countries that are strategically important to it.
If another country is unimportant to it strategically (say, just about all of sub-Saharan Africa), that country is ignored. If another country is strategically menacing, then the US does what it can to maximize the situation.
The US always acts in its own best interests. It never acts in the best interests of others. Other countries could learn a thing or two about that instead of constantly whining about how put upon they feel by the USA.
How would I get those news stories that I'm so interested in? I'm not going to their website.
Maybe they'd like to clog up my inbox! Sure, what the hell. I always felt that having midget tranny anal fisting and nasty naked cilice-wrapped nuns were too hard to find. I'd love having that delivered right to me.
Coming in to a country should not be an ordeal. There are only a handful of questions that should be asked.
Determine identity: * Is the person's passport valid? Does it scan cleanly and does the image shown on the screen match the person? If yes, skip to entry eligibility. X If the person's identity cannot be determined, detain person or deport person to originating country. If detained, determine identity.
Determine entry eligibility: * Is the person a citizen? If yes, skip to questions. * Is the person from a country with a visa waiver program? If yes, skip to questions. * Does the person have a valid visa to enter the country? If yes, skip to questions. X If the person fails all these, temporarily detain to determine eligibility on the spot. Deport if necessary.
Questions: * Prior to entry, what other countries have you visited? Check for match between answer and passport stamps.
* If person is citizen or permanent resident, say "welcome home" and send the person to Customs for customs declaration and processing. * How long will you stay in this country? Verify that answer does not exceed visa permissions. * What will you be doing in this country? Verify that visa permits such activities. * Where will you stay while in this country? Verify that person has either a lodging or in special cases a plan to travel about the country. X If the person cannot answer these questions sufficiently, temporarily detain to ascertain person's status. Give the person the benefit of the doubt.
Final: * Say "Welcome. I hope you enjoy your stay." and send the person to Customs for processing.
It's not racial profiling that is being suggested. Rather it is profiling based on behavior and personal history.
I'm not comfortable with the government keeping tabs on each citizen, where they go, who they talk to, and who they may be related to. That is what the Israeli profiling will bring to our country, and it is just as wrong as these scanners.
America has no existential threat. Talking about "an alternative" is a waste of time and counter productive.
The alternative should be to dismantle the TSA, put every single person who works for it on trial for treason, and have them executed.
This particular agency has taken it upon itself to turn America into a police state where freedom of speech, assembly, and movement no longer exists. They do it under the guise of security, but it is unnecessary (and frankly incompetent) security. They use techniques which coerce citizens to give in to "less intrusive" measures by means of fear and intimidation. It's a damned shame, and Obama ought to be impeached for supporting this.
-According to the court information provider neutrality as defined in among other things the EU's e-commerce law does not apply to TPB. Their main argument is that TPB was not a general service provider but a search service largely aimed at facilitating downloading copyrighted material.
For those old enough to remember, this is essentially what did Napster in. By exclusively linking to music files, they gave up any facade of neutrality and the courts nailed them on it. This, despite the fact that Napster never actually hosted any of the music being transferred.
As evidenced by 3D televisions which are hamstrung by the special glasses requirement, any technology that requires the user to wear a special device on his head without a truly convincing benefit will simply die off.
I have heard of new technologies that can sit in your pocket or attach to a console and read the aura of a person. Since a person's aura is altered by their mental state, this could be a good replacement for the EEG-like devices. And since the aura-readers require direct contact with the person's hand or extremely close proximity like the person's breast pocket, it doesn't have the problem of picking up auras of people nearby by accident.
I'm not sure why this would be relegated to Android, though. These devices can be installed in any device that supported the necessary port (USB, BT, etc).

People here are all talk. Keyboard warriors.
In real life, they are pussies and won't do a goddamned thing about it.

That's insane. What police state do you live in?
if you can't handle raising children who listen to you, maybe you shouldn't have had them in the first place.
Well, it's a little too late for that, don't you think?

You ever try to take a 4 year old grocery shopping?
If it isn't the screaming that attracts the looky lous, it's the disciplinary action I sometimes have to take.
It may not be optimal, but nothing in life ever is, you know?
I'm going to agree.
My 5 year old has his own account on the Vista machine at home. He knows how to load up Chrome. He has accounts on Youtube and Netflix and can watch what he wants whenever he wants.
It keeps him occupied for hours at a stretch. It really frees me up to go shopping and other things that would have been tough with him along.
It looks like he doesn't have the stomach for real racing.

10 year olds? Dude...
Saddam put a hit out on George Sr. and George Jr. was like "No one's gonna mess with my pappy!" and we went to even the score.
Perhaps "countries" is the wrong word. "Entities" may be more appropriate.

Don't be daft. The USA is a strong ally to those countries that are strategically important to it.
Sorry if that breaks your worldview where everyone ought to get along in peace.
Is Julian Assange trying to blackmail the US and UK governments into strong-arming the Swedes into letting him free?
