My country has just implemented (with support from the Republicans) a system for alleged rapists to be tested as such by young prostitutes.
The system works as the usual re-integration means, for ex, an alleged rapist goes to a night club in company of a police serviceman or a military serviceman; they reach a prostitute by sight, then they go separate ways and watch over the acting of the rapist when picking up the prostitute, to watch if he could be considered a rapist even if the alleged crime could not be proven.
The system has also been tested with paedophiles but it didt worked because paedophiles tend to have a mayor IQ than usual rapists.
That system has been aproved by the Vatican to be the most Christian Catholic method to re-integrate into society those pieces of crap.
Anyways i wonder if it is being tested in other countries, or this is a pilot test of the system to mix into society, the black sheeps that everybody knows.
The system has several failures related to religious belief, but it has been proved to work in closed societies with no much economic exports than celulose, fruits and human flesh.
I wonder if there are any other aproaches to the problem of mankind represented by rapists, paedos, and all that crap.
The older method was to put rapists and paedophiles in public places to watch over them, but the newer one includes a military force, to punish them if things go wrong.
What do you think about it?

I recently reviewed several commercial, closed-source slideshow authoring packages for Windows and came across an alarming trend. Several of the packages I installed included GPL and LGPL software without any mention of the GPL, much less source code. For example, DVD Photo Slideshow (www.dvd-photo-slideshow.com) included mkisofs, cdrdao, dvdauthor, spumux, id3lib, lame, mpeg2enc and mplex (all of which are GPL or LGPL). What's worse is that the company tried to hide this by wrapping them all in DLL's! There are other violations in other packages as well. It seems that use of GPL software in commercial Windows applications is on the rise based on my testing of other software. My question is how much are GPL violations in the Windows world being pursued? Does the FSF or EFF follow-up on these if the platform is not GPL? How aware is the community of this trend?

According to Chron.com recent advances in the scientific world have pushed researchers to join philosphers and futurists in searching for what defines life. Some thinkers like futurist Ray Kurzweil believe that anything with feelings is alive while most scientists belieive that the answers will never be easily found. As technology marches forward and the rise of self replicating machines and artificial intelligence are further developed the questions may become even more complicated. Religious beliefs may become strained and the oft quoted "playing god" may become a reality. As genetic material and indeed completely novel fabricated life forms become the patented assets of corporations, machines gain the ability to replicate and computers evolve to think and possibly feel, the question may become even more important. From the article: '"We are doing things which were thought to be the province, in some quarters, of God _ like making new forms of life,". "Life is very powerful, and if we can get it to do what we want ... there are all kinds of good things that can be done. "Playing God is a good thing to do as long as you're doing it responsibly.

The agreement announced today is an extension of IBM's existing support for the Solaris OS on select IBM BladeCenter servers, and exemplifies IBM's commitment to offering clients the widest choice of operating systems available in the industry, as well as Sun's commitment to offer customers a wider choice of systems for the Solaris platform. IBM and Sun's support of interoperability via open standards also means that customers will be able to extend their infrastructure by connecting new platforms easily, while preserving their initial investments.
