First I want to congratulate you on having the ^%$# to participate in this discussion.
Secondly I want to congratulate you for showing the world the reason why America has the stupidest students in the world. They teachers are worse.Do you really think the students have no other way of communicating. They all have BB and smart-phones, and probably a Gmail account.
Thirdly, the bad word list is a list of words that are bad at this point in time, in you perspective. Gay and Lesbian bad???? Inappropriate. How do you want it discussed ("Same Mutton" as used in 18th century English slang).
And how about questions about other languages. I've seen some nice examples with programs like WOW.
(btw getting around these filters is very easy, just put same spaces in the words and they are accepted (e.g. Les-bian)

The Return of (Old) PC Graphic Adventures 93
KingofGnG writes "Though they belong to a genre already considered defunct and inadequate for the mainstream video game market, adventure games have a glorious past, a past that deserves to be remembered, and, of course, replayed. At the center of a good part of this effort of collective memory, there is ScummVM, the virtual machine which acts like an interface between the feelings and the puzzles from the good old times and the modern operating systems. As already highlighted before, the ScummVM target has grown immensely over time, going from the simple support of the 'classic' adventure games par excellence published by Lucasfilm/Lucasarts, to a range that includes virtually any single puzzle-solving game developed from the beginning of time up to the advent of the (Windows) NT platform. The last video game engine added to ScummVM within the past few days is Groovie, created by the software house Trilobyte for its first title released in 1993, The 7th Guest ."
Benchmarks For Ubuntu vs. OpenSolaris vs. FreeBSD 131
Ashmash writes "After their Mac OS X versus Ubuntu benchmarks earlier this month, Phoronix.com has now carried out a performance comparison between Ubuntu 8.10, OpenSolaris 2008.11 and FreeBSD 7.1. They used a dual quad-core workstation with the Phoronix Test Suite to run primarily Java, disk, and computational benchmarks. The 64-bit build of Ubuntu 8.10 was the fastest overall, but FreeBSD and OpenSolaris were first in other areas."
