    As a teacher, have you ever noticed that the elder child is often the most disruptive?

    Parenthood doesn't come with a handbook, and I have noticed that the oldest child in a sibling group tends to be the least well adjusted.

    Maybe we can come up with a new description for those kids... OJT kids? Mommy and Daddy's test run?

    Bean did not allow hung juries or appeals,[9] and jurors, who were chosen from his best bar customers, were expected to buy a drink during every court recess.[10] Bean was known for his unusual rulings. In one case, an Irishman named Paddy O'Rourke shot a Chinese laborer. A mob of 200 angry Irishmen surrounded the courtroom and threatened to lynch Bean if O'Rourke was not freed. After looking through his law book, Bean ruled that "homicide was the killing of a human being; however, he could find no law against killing a Chinaman".[9] Bean dismissed the case.[9]

    Wow. Just... wow.

    Use shared hosting, so everything is done for you and you have something shiny like cPanel.

    Pick a CMS and stay with it, something that has lots of free templates available.

    Learn just enough HTML and CSS to get by when you go to edit your template.

    phpMyAdmin is your friend.

  14. Re:ubuntu? or just rsync? on What To Do With an Old G5 Tower? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    At some point you have to listen to the voice of reason when someone says "it's OLD, time to REPLACE it", when you want to reply "but it still WORKS FINE".
