Nooo in the USA everyone underage drinks anyway. Most drink more before 21 than after 21. The law just means they get their old friend / parent / whomever to buy it for them..
DMCA barely defines copyright law any more than it already was. One huge thing the DMCA basically says is that if I buy a song for "A" and want to play it on "B" but they don't want me to, I am out of luck. That is the problem I and many others have with it.
Maybe I wasn't specific enough with my want to do what I choose with something that is mine. Another example is that it is technically against the DMCA to run Linux on my xbox 360. What a crock of shit. The point is that even before the DMCA it was illegal to distribute copies of the latest Britney Spears song, now it's illegal to play it in my car provided Britney has told me I'm not allowed to.
The DMCA is almost ALWAYS being abused. If you buy something it should be yours to do whatever you choose with. It would be similar to there being a law stating you cannot use McDonald's Mayo on a Double Whopper as it was not intended to be used that way.
The "magic bullet" so-to-speak is essentially the opposite of everything my parents did trying to raise me short of the whole strangers bit. I don't understand why things worked out that way but they did. The key is to MAKE your kids experience your lessons. Show them in a way they understand why if you do one thing another thing usually always happens. As far as showing them how bad things happen when you meet / talk to random strangers, there are hundreds of books / movies depicting what happens in such an event.
Children have much less free will than you think. They just see something against their parents wishes which is intriguing and go against them out of spite. To an extent that is how lessons are learned as somewhat stated above.
PS. Good call on the no kids thing. I plan to wait a good while before having any, if at all. I feel to raise a child properly a larger gap in generations is required between parent and child.. Which probably explains why most of the important things I learned early in life came from my grandmother rather than my parents.
Its funny how all my parents did was communicate the fact that strangers can hurt you and you never want to meet a stranger without other people (preferably adults) present. When we got the internet ~1996 and I was 10 years old it didn't take much for me to realize people on the internet are strangers and I don't want to meet them. Some kids might need slightly more pushing but it surely isn't impossible.
Uh I don't see the problem with his response? If your kids aren't too stupid to know the risks of MEETING SOMEONE THEY DON'T KNOW there is no reason to monitor what they do online.
Not bad things you can do online: -read the news -look at porn -send e-mail to your grandma
Bad things you can do online: -camwhore for strangers -give those strangers your address and phone number -fly to California to meet strangers
Teach your kid to not be an idiot and you don't need software like this.
Doesn't the request fall under FOIA? Which basically means the FCC has to give the information up. If this isn't the case would someone kindly enlighten me?
For some reason I don't think if we all subscribed to both that they would still want a merger.. they can each have 20 million subscribers or take 20 million combined. Anyone would take the former..
I notice that they use CPU-Z to monitor this CPU. Seems like a pretty good tool to monitor the CPU. Get a copy here http://www.cpuid.org/
And as a harware engineer: As long as you dont boost the voltage too much (Which these guys prpbably did), you can not damage anything, so go for it.
Isn't that sort of like going to Lambeau Field and seeing a football and explaining to everyone that its safe to throw it?
As far as Linux is concerned it really doesn't matter.. Obviously I can't speak for everyone but to me, short of games Linux is doing just fine. Which basically means any other feature of DirectX other than games is useless. If OpenGL is used for games there is a greater possibility these games will be found native to Linux.
All I know for sure is Linux / OpenGL wont have an opportunity like they have now for at least 5-10 years. No DX10 on WinXP could be a real killer for DX, if developers feel the need to target both Vista and XP users, OpenGL could be the way to go.... Which AFAIK makes portability to Linux easier.
Spoken like a true Democrat. Lets try reading further.
Traditionally Democrats want Big Government to take away your rights, while the Republicans want to keep the government as small as possible. These days, though, that seems not to be the case
InfoGear was shipping a product called the iPhone in 1996. InfoGear was bought by Cisco in 2000, along with the trademark. Cisco REALLY isn't squatting, reguardless of what any Mac fanbois think. I'm not anti Apple, but they definately don't have a leg to stand on and should have never tried releasing a product under the 'iPhone' name.
They will need to upgrade a bit, not so much though as AFAIK they mainly only host the trackers. Seeders do all the actual sharing. Apparently telling a friend where to get ____ illegal material is just as illegal as actually giving it to them, hence the need for Seaworld.
Windows Home Server = Windows XP Pro? I was under the impression that Windows 2003 was simply Windows XP with some goodies for servers, if they take that aspect out aren't they basically selling your Windows XP with a couple patches?
I don't see why they would market something based on Windows 2003 right now anyway, with Vista here / around the corner (depending on who you are)
Another one is accounting software, namely tax software. The only reason my grandfather is not running Ubuntu right now is Turbo Tax. He wants to buy his new version of Turbo Tax every year and install it himself. That basically takes wine / vmware out of the picture.. or any alternative open source tax software (don't think there is really a contender in that field for Linux anyway..)
Of course I'd assume OSX has pretty good accounting / tax software that is still easy to use (never checked to be honest)
Haha talk about nostalgia. I did that when I was like 8 on a regular basis, only in my house...not quite as bad I guess. 50ft phone lines are hard to come by when you are a kid...
WTF are you talking about? My little sister doesn't have GTA because my parents said "hey, you can't have GTA" Then she borrowed it from a friend and they said "Hey, you have to give it back because I don't want you playing it"
You don't need the government to regulate who can buy what to control what kids do. All you need is a parent that isn't blind enough to not notice their kid sitting in front of the TV shooting people up and stealing cars for 100 some-odd hours.
Because it is not the government's job to restrict access from minors, it is the parent's job should they choose to restrict their children.
Of course, because of our countries mentality it will soon be the case anyway, just like with cigarettes, booze, and porn. (it will be just as affective too)
All animals only seek resources that are needed for survival. Our desire for things over and above this, such as widescreen TVs and a bigger SUV than our neighbour, indicates that there is a fundamental difference between humans and other species.
Because my dog doesn't have chew toys / try to steal new ones from me / gorge himself on food if I let him? If given the opportunity most animals take more than they need just as humans do. The difference being most wild animals don't have that opportunity.

In just about all single-threaded synthetic benchmarks a 3.4ghz core2duo would outperform an 8ghz P4 though.

This is still the games section, right?

Frosted mini wheats become extremely barable and border-line good with chocolate milk instead of regular milk.

No, 2160p is essentially four 1080p displays. Hence them calling it "Quad HDTV"
