    Ayaulym said village elders advised them to send their son to the circus but she wanted him to go to school. :omg: That is not very community spirited of them! Still, according to the article, he fits in with other's well, which is going to be a big part of his life I'd imagine. Poor sod. ____________________ David Wulff Neil says: dave i am a homosexual and i am in love with your father Dave says: That's okay son, eighteen years ago I was in love with your mother.

    Paul Westcott wrote: I think humans are amazingly complex creatures, and I don't think you have to necessarily have an original drive in you to make you do things. I think situations can force people into doing things that they just would never have done - not just because they were ashamed of what society would think. Yes, you are right, and this goes along with what I was saying in the first place. I ask that you reread my posts with an open mind this time. As I said, humans work in a positive/negative response system. They do not do things that they despise (i.e.; the negative). Everything thing is weighed, and in a circumstance like such, the negative is the man watching his family and/or himself starve, etc. If you continue to break down what's really going on in this scenario... There are other ways the farmer could raise money. It's not commanded from the heavens with God saying, "Thou shalt spanketh thine livestock." Obviously, he's not going to sell his daughter into slavery for the money to feed her because he despises both of those actions. Like my original point has always been, with or without shame the farmer doesn't mind jerking off a bull to get what he feels he needs. Gratification in one form or another is received.

    Chris Losinger wrote: i was just wondering what kinds of things the masses are writing that require them to be able to run processes as someone else, capture keystrokes, launch processes on other boxes, capture command lines from other apps, detect app launches, etc.. i want to know who apps to not install. Actually, writing processes that run as somebody else could be quite useful. My team writes an installer, which requires admin rights to run. It could be useful for a "real" admin to supply a script containing an encrypted user name and password to an accout that has admin rigths, then regular users can run a specialized isntall without having to know the admin password. Of course, I'm not the one that posted that question, so I don't know for sure what *they* are doing with it. :-D But I did see how doing something like that could be useful. Even if you win the rat race, you're still a rat.

    mmm, not a lot www.ananova.com is an example of an avator, I'm still searching out whats available. When I have some results I'll inform you, of what I've discovered. But it looks like for low bandwidth users its a better option than straight webcams. And even for decent bandwidth it might be better for realtime conferencing.

    I wasn't being rude. I was actually concerned. Sorry if you misread my post, but I meant no offense at all. Why not throw away a dime? I throw away ten pennies all the time.
