Hey, it's the Catholic Church. It took them 1000 years to recognize Orthodoxy, hundreds of years to recognize Protestants, etc. It only took 20 years for them to discover the internet. Leave them alone, they're doing well.
First, Back to the Future has always been rated PG. Second, despite what commonly occurs with regards to ratings, over 1/3 of the top grossing movies of all time are rated G or PG, and well over 2/3 are targeted at families. Toy Story 3 made almost half a billion dollars and is universally considered a great movie, far better than Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Heck, every Pixar movie is more creative and almost all Pixar movies are better executed.
Rating systems, while not perfect are a very useful tool for parents to set DVRs and decide on family entertainment. Comic ratings are far better than a simple stamp, as they allow parents and authors both what they want.
When you are spoofing the user's phone, it's not really "out there". You are definitely using advanced tools to hack at that point. The fact that one hacker didn't realize that such a hack was available means that it was not "just out there". (I can't believe I'm defending AT&T, those scumbags.)
You're mistaken. There's a reason why everyone is mashing the buttons like a pogo-stick. They don't work until someone verifies that the question is complete.
Just buy from Amazon. The non-DRM MP3 ends up on your computer and on your iPod. Still, I always purchase CDs (often used) unless the price is ridiculous ($18 for the CD, $9.90 for the MP3 album).
I know thousands of people, but only know a few that had a custody dispute or ran away for a while or something that could even be construed as this, maybe 10 or so.
Or, in other words, 3/4 of the time there is a good degree of probability that the Amber Alert system is being used as a pawn in a custody dispute. I heard one situation where a scornful ex-wife asked the ex-husband to do her a favor by watching the kids and then reported him to Amber Alert, had him arrested and jailed awaiting trial, showing the officers the court order that he had taken them during "her time".
Their successes were generally in child custody fights that didn't pose a risk to the child. And in those rare instances where kidnappers did intend to rape or kill the child, Amber Alerts usually failed to save lives...."If a mom is told by a court she can't see her kid, doesn't trust her husband, and abducts the child, it's stretching reason to say we need an Amber Alert to save the kid's life," Griffin argues. He cites studies showing that, even before Amber Alert's existence, 70 percent of parental abduction cases were resolved in less than a week.
My wife and daughter just got Android phones on Sprint for $40 each, and they're running 2.2 (the latest) and are really good phones (slideout keyboard alone makes them superior to iPhone). I'm pretty sure you can't get an iPhone for $40. The latest OS iPhone is $199 minimum, and it doesn't even have a keyboard. And you have to be on the crappiest carrier in the US.
I think you'll find more critical thinking and science at the Creation Museum than the average freshman could fathom. While you may not agree with their evidence that evolution and the big bang have major holes that cannot be explained and that some evidence points to creation more than to evolution, your statement only proves that you have never been to the Creation Museum, thereby committing exactly what the Slashdot article is outlining: people making scientific "statements of fact" without ever considering the evidence.
Unfortunately, the Bible probably contains historical incest. And yes, the Bible does harm kids' minds. It causes them to forgo profit and money and build hospitals and universities instead. It causes them to go to foreign countries and spend their lives helping people who could never pay them back. And above all, it causes them to treat everyone around them with dignity and respect and how they themselves would want to be treated. Poor, depraved fools.

You're not doing it right...

Wow, so much wrong in one post.

Where are my mod points? That's really funny!
Google should make their own OpenFlash. Flash might actually be fast, clean and secure for once.
But then they'd be liars since they're still supporting Flash.
I still have one of those on my desk at home. Cool story. Thanks.
They'll do it when they get to Batplanes...
If you actually think your vote is changing policy in Washington, you haven't been paying attention for the last 20 years.

So, you're saying "An iFanboy and his money are soon parted..."?

Yes. Bad managers that manage based on people showing up on time instead of what's getting done.
Yes, but we would need a political think tank to call that one, not NASA.
Which is it?
