    If he did get caught he'd get a smirky, eye-rolling verbal warning instructing him to stay away from the terminal. Nowdays a kid would be taken into custody and charged with violating computer crime and terrorism laws.

    FBI and/or DHS interrogations would follow, then he'd be forced to turn snitch and lure other kids(er, "marks") into "hacking" the system, to avoid a decade or more of federal prison.

    Just what we need, groups of gang-stalking self-righeous zealots violating privacy with the blessing of the feds. Great, more dickheads to flag people as "suspicious" or "pedophiles" because they downloaded pics of hentai or Simpsons family fucking or of-age women whose boobs are too small. Last I checked, hanging out in chat rooms pretending to be 12 year-old girls was legal anyway.

    Child porn is bad, but it happens and it's gonna continue happen and you're not going to stop those scum from exploiting children. Why not spend your free time rallying for a political cause or raising money for charity?

    Sure, it sucks that you had an unhappy childhood and probably watched too many cop shows to escape from that harsh reality, but your life was empty before you thought you could make a name for yourself and it will be empty long after.

    No, making it save and open and render documents consistently should be priority #1. I run OOo on Linux and everytime I open a document, the formatting becomes all screwed up. Carriage returns are added. Subscripts become detached and drop waaay below down to another line. I'm sure many others have similar problems.

    "Starting up faster" often isn't really faster anyway, it's just starting the UI faster and hoping that the user dosen't notice that they still can't do anything.

My battery is an official Dell part, but to be fair, it is an old battery.

    The warning systems are glitchy, or that manufacturers have been shipping substandard batteries and/or power subsystems. Either would come as no surprise.
