Wow, 4486, I thought my user-ID was old! . My HS had one server - a disgusting Netware server with Tolkin Ring to IBM PS/2s. We had DOS and we liked it. I tell ya, kids these days are spoiled rotten.

The Protection of Children Act 1978, includes provisions in which it is illegal to create an indecent image or a 'pseudo-image' of a child... which a full body scanner does."

I'm glad that one of these stupid "think of the children" laws is finally biting them. We've made too many regulations with the "think of the children" argument.

One of my personal pet peeves, is the booster seat, required in the US, for riders under the age of 8. I think there is dirty politics at play, but aside from that, it would have been much less burdensome on the population to simply require that new cars have adjustable seat belts, and grandfather in existing cars. Instead, they require the purchase of these seats for every rider. No longer can the coach of a child's sports team take the team to get ice cream after a game, without having a booster seat for every kid.

Its a very freedom limiting regulation.

So, today you skipped your dose?

Who the hell modded this as flamebait? Go look for yourself: http://www.ratical.org/renewables/

The people that mod this as flamebait are the same people that are the reason hemp and other alternatives will never see the light of day.

I remember reading "in UNIX, you can kill a parent and its children...", but I think I missed the part about ass rape..... Time for a new career, I think.

Seriously, we want to slow down deforestation? Stop using trees for paper products. The US needs to get over their high and mighty "We can't use hemp because its taboo" crap.

Is there a way to convert these volts into dollars to help pay down our national debt? Oh wait, never mind, its only supposed to reach 7 trillion volts.. That wouldn't be enough to help pay off ObamaCare(tm).

Yes, I do think it would be quite nice to have a filet minion. He could cut up all the meat into edible pieces!

Actually, I find the pain and suffering adds a unique flavor that would be lacking in artificial meat.

I'm happy you'll do this. I won't, and the majority of the internet users won't either. It'll just further separate nations, because I won't go through the hassle of typing in a foreign character domain name - it'll just a site I won't visit.

Its not necessary, its purely political. The world hates the US, and what better way to tell the world that the US "does not run the internet" by making non-latin character sets valid.

But if you live in the developing world, a UNCTAD report paints your picture pretty grim. Ridiculously high bandwidth costs are inhibiting developing nations from enjoying productive use of the internet — like online banking and market tools."

I don't want to sound like a meanie, but by definition, that is a developing nation. We all had to start somewhere and develop into what we are today.

Someone needs to stop thinking broadband is a right. Its not. TV isn't. Radio isn't. You aren't born with a right to broadband internet access.

You're going to mod me as a troll, when you can google for "John Holdren sterilze" and you'll find exactly what I'm talking about. The green movement and the environmental movement are dangerous because there are powerful people there that firmly believe people are the problem, and there should be less of them on this planet.
