Inspired by "sexygrrl404," an idea for one of those customized 403 pages. (I originally thought of this for a 404 page but realized it worked better for a 403 error.)

A 403 error page which plays a snippet of En Vogue's "My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)."

Yeah, in general I think the artistic potential of the HTTP 403 status code has been underexplored.

My understanding is that a trademark is for, well, a "mark," most often some kind of identifying logo, while a design patent typically covers an entire object. I'm not sure I'm explaining this very well, and yeah, it does seem like a rather arbitrary distinction.

"This is a directory of 2160 online papers on consciousness and related topics."

Curse you. Philosophy of consciousness is one of my recent interests. I've finished Dennett's Consciousness Explained and am about halfway through Searle's Mind. Now I need to take a year off of work so I can read through all these online papers.

"There has a sequence of photos within it in which a female otter is tied to a bed and an otter in a leather mask breaks open oysters on her bare stomach."

Let us pause for a moment and remember Plurp, who has been constantly attacked by eagles for a year now.

I must concur in part and dissent in part with your earlier reader. Tea is tannic, but not bitter, when made properly. However, tea is often over-brewed, and when over-brewed, tea is both tannic and bitter.

As a point of comparison, red wine is tannic (some types more so than others; Cabernet Sauvignon tends to be especially tannic) but never bitter (unless something's gone horribly wrong with the wine).

"The thing I don't know is: if Kaylynn had failed and Ben had died, would I have just exited without saving and maybe tried again someday, or would I have saved, and played her from here on with the consequences of that tragedy?"

This reminds me of the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Real Life." The holographic Doctor decides he wants to better understand the Human Experience (a common desire among androids, holograms, ex-Borg, etc., in the Star Trek Universe) and creates a family on the holodeck. A perfect, cheery family practically right out of a 1950s sitcom. B'Elanna objects that he's not really learning much out of this, and offers to tweak the program to make it more realistic...

Voyager attracts a good amount of criticism from Star Trek fans, much of it deserved, but this episode is worth watching.

I think the defense of pornography on this website is sick. How can any human being watch another human being used and discarded like that. Like it or not there is overwhelming supporting evidence that pornography DOES lead to sex crimes. Well, the denmark study....!! The denark study is completely bogus. Right about the time that study was released a bunch of sex crimes were decriminalized. Including voyeirism (peeping times), some types of incest and sexual harassement. Also, the age of consent (the minimum age at which a person can legally have sex with an adult of any age) in Denmark is 15. If some old man here in America took advantage of a 15 year old girl he would be thrown in jail and charged with rape!While there are some men that don't act out based on what they see, almost everyone who does act out has used pornographic materials and acted out actual scenes. Pornography is sexual abuse because it is NONCONSENSUAL. Well, what do you mean. According to the feminist definition for %100 consensual sex...

Consensual sex: sex engaged in that is not contingent upon any system of reward or punishment.

Those man-hating feminists ! That's ridiculous you say!. Is it? This analysis is used in businesses, colleges, ect.

For example if a business man offers his employee a promotion if she has sex with him, even if she willingly complies, it is considered a form of sexual exploitation. And most Americans would agree. Because she was doing it to gain a promotion.

 Wether you enjoy watching porn or not has nothing to do with it. There are a lot of things I've very much enjoyed in my life, "snorting cocaine, eating hamburgers with 40 grams of fat" that aren't good for me. Porn may be enjoyable but it's not good for society.

 It has been statistically proven that almost all girls involved in the sex industry were sexually abused as children. Contrasting to the one third of the actual female population. These women have come to see themselves as sexual objects and believe this is the only thing that they have to offer. Pornography, for these women, is a second victimization.

Sex workers have a dramatically increased rate of of sexual diseases. They usually don't use condoms (pornographers say people don't like seeing them) and even when they do, condoms don't protect against certain STDS such as PPV, and herpes. In fact herpes in the pornography industry are so common that they are called "fuck sores".

 Many porn actors are recruited when they are extremely young. Isn't it ridiculous that we don't allow adults to drink until they're 21, but allow some barely legal teenager (who may even still be in high school) be manupulated into engaging in a industry that may have life-long serious consequences both mentally and physically.

PORNOGRAPHY IS IS IS PROSTITUION! According to Webster's dictionary, New Third Edition. Prostitute= A person who engaged in sexual acts for money. Even the word pornography, which is a greek word, means porne=prostitute graphy=picture of. Picture of a prostitute! And isn't that what they really are? Paper prostitutes. How sad we actually condone this!?

Porn women aren't real. There plastic, digitally altered, and sometimes starving. They look like some kind of genetic mutation. No woman, actually even the women who are being videotaped in real life, can replicate that. This can and does create sexual satisfaction problems with committed couples. According to statistics the couples with the highest sexual satification rates are Christian fundamentalists! While I don't believe one must become a fundy to be against porn, I find it very interesting that this particular group has the best sex.

The sex in porn isn't real either. It's made out to be some kind of olympic event. This also constributes to real sex disatisfaction. Some teenager boy thinks all the girls in high school are walking around with wet panties, concealing their hidding desire to rip his clothes off and have their way with him. Boy is he going to be disappointed when his girlfriend/wife actually wants to have converation that last for 2 hours before he'll even let him touch her and an hour of foreplay.

Pornography is extremely addictive. Merely viewing it releases the same chemicals in the brain as cocaine, but in even larger amounts.





I'm not against sex. I understand that there are many commmitted couples that videotape themselves making love. I don't believe this is the same thing as pornography because there is no money, manipulation involved. This is done for pleasure, not power. so I believe it falls into another category.

I don't believe it should necessarily be illegal to be in possession of porn. I believe the people that should be arrested are the producers and sellers of it. This avoids unneccesarily politics and get to the root of the problem.
