First post on a 40 minute old topic, on /. must be a record. Yes ban'em Its about what you know. Not how well you can get your math machine to minimize your effort. Have a bad memory, use a dictation device. Save the computer use for the library or outside the classroom. Unless the coarse of study resides in the digital realm, keep it out of the classroom.

Look, We call it porn because it IS porn. So just like a library or book store does with its reading material, lets make it MANDATORY we only allow porn sites to reside on .SEX & .XXX top level domains. Then have the home router manufacturers like Linksys, Netgear, Dlink etc..create within the administration settings an ability to block top levels domains SUCH as .xxx / .sex for little Johnny. We'll have a slightly better organization of OUR PRECIOUS PORN & put responsibility back in the hands of the parents. Google/Firefox/Microsoft can EASILY release a browser for kids that explicitly without option leaves top level domains SUCH as .sex & .xxx sites OFF the pictures/search results list. FFS, we used to make it next to impossible SEEING porn as a youth some 20 odd years ago. Now it seems all we want to DO is corrupt or entice our youth with it. WHY, what is the motivation to do this? So sick of this Nanny State crap. Government, Bureaucrats and lawyers all making money by eliminating my liberties, choice and CONTROL through attempting to turn Corporations into Police agents against the people all whilst exploiting my/our children is a sick perverted joke and needs to STOP NOW. When will this problem be solved logically, without turning our ISP into the internet police. We don't need no damn internet police. We just need organization, categorization and tools to empower THE PEOPLE.

A childs curiosity is a natural thing. I would hardly call it violence or destructive unless you yourself value artificial life over human beings. Which begs me to wonder just what universe YOU may be in. I'll keep this short and sweet. PEOPLE, HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS That is what we are and that is how we relate. If a particular culture wishes to subject their offspring to this kind of learning experience, so be it. But as far as humane reasoning exists, I am pretty confident that MOST cultures will still opt for people being teachers. I would never seek out nor allow a robot to tell me or my children what to do or learn, ever. BTW do you even HAVE any children... DUDE?

Video Games are a reflection of our STRUCTURED SOCIAL SYSTEM. Same with a child's behavior. It is a reflection of our SOCIAL STRUCTURE. And it is NOT the child fault, it is our own fault as adults. Here is a video about Bullying by a gentleman who holds degrees in History and Philosphy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KxUkRdjD3k

All those songs are about selling out your relationships with others.
Compromising dignity and morality to get some and then gloat about it.

Who can blame the youth of today when elders such as Gene boasted about such past times. The only difference is that today, not only do we have horrible messed up relationships with others. Think reality TV etc... Now it has manifested its corruption/exploitation into the material world. IE music It is all piracy of the body and what it creates.

Only difference is now he is the whore getting used, not some bimbo who wets her pants for absurdity.
He is a hypocrite.
He promoted selling out and low standard of relations long ago and now that is just what he has to do.

How does it feel Gene you worthless whiny a$$hat.
What goes around comes around.
No remorse.

p.s. I always hated your crap from day one.

I have heard of this huge mass in the Pacific Ocean for quite some time now. But I never seem to be able to find actual pictures or satellite images of this "Double the size of Texas" island. The only images I ever see are ones that show land mass on the horizon. Which means images that are NOT in the middle of the pacific Ocean. Won't someone help a skeptic out?

What you are seeing right here in this article, is paid for marketing, promoting fear tactics to scare the masses. Registering at the Bay does not provide proof of illegal activities. There are plenty of legitimate torrents out in cyberspace and on Pirate Bay. Nothing to see here, move along folks.

This phone is great. I am looking at it right now as I type this. With my wireless G router, I can easily walk about 60 feet and get clear reception. Device standard battery gives me around 3.5 hours of talk time. There is a "Gold" version of the battery on ebay if you want longer battery life. This unit has never dropped a call. I have had it for more than 10 months and have put around 200 hours on it. 1/8 mic/headphone jack. Can be charged via USB cable and has its own docking station, Skype Certified. Easy interface, though no video calls, obviously. I decided on this phone after researching for days on end last spring, for a wifi skype solution. Best $125 I have spent in quite some time.

And my experience with shots were this. I never received a shot for years, since I was in junior high (late 80's). And never became ill, EVER. Even when smoking cigarettes for about 10 years 93-02. All I ever had was just the sniffles from time too time. No flu, nothing. Then I had my son. I did not start taking the shots yet but I quit smoking. Still felt fine, even when my son and other nieces and nephews were sick all the damn time and around me monthly (Family is all in Bay Area). I then decided I would do the responsible parent thing and go get the shot, just too "be on the safe side". For the exact same three years I received the shot, 2004 & 2005 & 2006 I was so sick and missed so much work from those damn shots, I would get sick as a dog weeks if not months AFTER, the shot was taken. So after all of that drama and having a friend/work associate who has an autistic son (not from birth) but from the shots he received (in 2006) I decided never again will I worry about the shots. Your body can do all the battling it needs to stay healthy... ON ITS OWN. Seriously, if it is NOT a Flesh Wound, then why bother. OH NO, because other people see that your ill and are now scared of you! OH NO.... please. This is the way it should be. Half the battle of illness is psychological. And if your fears (or other peoples) fears are pushing you too stick yourself with something cause you or even worse THEY, THINK it will protect you, YOU better think again. Since I have not had my shot for about 3 years now, I feel better than I ever had. And I laugh at all of you idiots who let your fears control you. And I put all you idiots in your place who think your fear is a reason....HA, to control SOMEONE ELSES heath/life. Good luck with that. I will never believe in peoples fear of mother nature, ever. Take all the drugs you want too comfort yourself, I prefer to not too play that game, Thank you very much.

The song is called, "If You Wanna Be Happy" and is originally by Jimmy Soul, released 1963. Not by the band you mentioned. As a music lover, I must give credit where credit is due.

NSA, National Security Agency: Doing our best everyday to coerce techno geeks to divulge popular methods on how they carry their sensitive information while on the go.
Prepare for tighter security procedures in the coming months, and thank you for your participation.

Furthermore; http://www.friendsofscience.org/ just for starters. Have fun on your journey.

I'll tell you, there is a reason why this Global Warming or Climate Change is up for debate.
Never mind the fact that polar bears DO know how too swim or that this is the coolest summer on record. Temperatures have been cooling since 1998/99.
Never mind the fact the fact that this planet and other planets have warmed and cooled throughout the centuries.
Never mind the fact that The Inconvenient Truth is actually refuted by thousands of scientists throughout the world.
Never mind that Al Gore stands to make Billions if this Cap n Trade, Climate Change Bill HR2454 passes in the Senate and gets signed into law.
Never mind that this same Bill not only tax business but tax EVERYONE, from real estate restrictions on your home, to making you pay for renovations before you can sell your home.
Never mind that all this media spin is meant too whip support for the most invasive tax bill ever brought upon all the people of this country.
Never mind that they rushed this bill in the house, and did not even read through it, but still passed it anyhow.
All I will ask of YOU is too do the research behind the science of climate change and draw your own conclusions, before you are sway by ANY mass public opinion.
And please we have already taken such a huge debt with these bailouts, again please read the HR2454 Cap n trade Climate Change Bill. This is all incremental folks. The trial of Climate change/Global Warming and this HR2454 Cap n Trade Carbon Tax Bill is all relevant. Just trying to give a heads up. Tired of the "end of the world" fear mongering.

Free government treatment my ass! WE THE PEOPLE ARE THE GOVERNMENT! I refuse to be taxed for this garbage. First you'll legalize it, tax it, then, when your "oh poor me government help" programs are not getting enough funding, because of the politicians and corrupt individuals operating it, suck it down for other purposes, then the people IN GENERAL will be taxed for this bullshit. LISTEN, PEOPLE, I want all of YOU too hear these words ring in your mind for eternity. Since I don't play your game, I don't want your tax, you idiots have no foresight do you. I WILL NOT PAY FOR YOUR DRUG HABIT OR ANY OTHER SELF DESTRUCTIVE, CAN'T COPE, CRUTCH YOU MAY HAVE. Never ever, not in a million years. Medicinal use for PAIN REGULATION is FINE with me, but THAT IS IT. You can log that one in your database, books or wherever! Bunch of weak, no vision, idealistic fools. Smoke your shit, karma me down, I don't care.
