Nazi Germany made guns illegal and bad things happened.
On the other hand, dozens of other countries made guns illegal and really good things happened. So, by pointing out facist Germany as an example, you point out the exception, not the rule.
You must have a hell of a gun if you can pierce Chobham armor, or shoot down an A-10.
Idiot. Guns are archaic symbols of a low-technological era long gone. Having a gun affords you 0.000001% more leverage than not having a gun. On the other hand, having a brain gives you a 100% advantage.
The spammers put that on their mail to deflect the stupid people who believe that there is some kind of law that they need to comply with. The smart ones still read the headers, do a traceroute, and complain to every ISP in the chain.
att.net sucks. Those people cannot control their network. cw.net is the same. Sorry. I had to release pressure from my venom sacs.
My God it's a bit like a bad snake oil salesman. These kind of satire/humor pages were funny the first 100 times I saw them, but the genre is starting to wear a bit thin.
In what year will the world's computational power be enough to simulate a neural network of human brain complexity in real time?
Then... In what year will the power to simulate a human brain be contained in a single supercomputer?
Then... In what year will the power to simulate a human brain be contained in a computer the size of a human head?
I read a book by Tippler that was really good and he talked about it. I think his conclusion was about 2060 to get the simulated brain in a desktop computer. He's probably way off, because projecting the future is difficult, but it's still interesting to think about.
Your regurgitation of the party line sounds good, until you cross reference what you think you know with some facts.
A study last year found that conviceted child molesters were not as likely to molest again if they had a ready supply of child pornography.
The authors of the study reasoned that since it's difficult to reform people, and there's something about child molestors that is off-base, but unfixable, then the solution might be to find an outlet for their deviant behavior that didn't hurt anyone.
The state has confiscated a great deal of child porn. The children who were abused by it have already been abused. Further use of the child porn doesn't further hurt the children. Thus, existing stockpiles of child porn could be used for this.
Obviously, implementing something like this is way out of the question in current society. Even talking about it is somewhat taboo.
My point is that use of child porn does NOT necessarily cause child abuse. The general lesson to learn is QUESTION EVERYTHING!!!
Haven't seen anyone mention these classics yet. You write a C or Pascal program to control the robot. Your robot then fights other robots. Last robot alive wins.

Red Herring.

My i1450 is wonderful. My 355Cs (486/33) is still in service as my print server.
The blacklist is a wonderful idea. Something like this might have turned Adaptec around sooner.
Law???? Heee Heee that funny!

You get spam from companies????????
Amazing. All I ever get spam from is:
Idiots selling vitamins.
Idiots selling viagra substitutes
Idiots selling e-mail lists
Idiots selling horny women
Idiots selling horny men
Idiots selling e-mail harvesting programs
Idiots selling Ponzi schemes
I never get e-mail from a real company.

Did 100 MFLOPS in 1976 when it was introduced.
My Pentium 133 does 21 MFLOPS according to benchmarks.
All you people with 450 MHZ processors must be somewhere in the ballpark of a Cray I.
You can't argue that computers will never be intelligent because they can't do Travelling Salesmen.
I don't know a single person who has the ability to do it either.

Absolut Vodka company sues innocent graphics oriented web site. Claims trademark infringement. Slashdot fans outraged.
VD = Venerial Disease (willy rot)
STD = Sexually Transmitted Disease
