Rules of conduct, sure. List of hours... that to me just seems to strike a little close to the concept of "free speech zones". As long as they are conducting themselves well, I see no reason to kick them out after a certain time of day.

used company's name as part of his handle and it definitely was something directly linked to Phonedog
But when he left, he changed the handle's name. So why should they still have a claim to it? Why can't he just create a brand new handle called @PhoneDog_Noah and give _that_ to them?
Or the much more convoluted though perhaps more legal solution:
1) Create brand new handle, maybe name it @noahkravitz2.
2) Use new handle exclusively, while simply posting "This account will soon be taken by asshats*. Please unfollow and use @noahkravitz2." to the old handle.
3) After a week or two, rename @noahkravitz back to @PhoneDog_Noah.
4) Hand over to Phonedog the credentials to @PhoneDog_Noah.

Claiming she was 'almost' an adult is like saying someone is 'almost' guilty.
Except children gradually grow into adulthood. We don't (yet) raise children in a protective bubble until the age of 18, and then suddenly unleash the full hell of real life on them.
Huh, and here I've been trying to use maple syrup in place of the standard, dull, white sugar in certain recipes. So there's actually a maple sugar you say? Wonder how it'd compare...
Interesting.. as I'd mentioned in a prior post, when I was watching a pre-recorded show on my TiVo a while back, a live EAS test message played and completely locked me out of my TiVo for the duration of the test. Wonder what the difference was between your situation and mine.
Well.. a while back, as I was watching something on my TiVo, an emergency alert test popped up. I tried fastforwarding through it, changing to a live channel, going back to the main menu, but nothing worked. For the duration of the test, I was locked out of my TiVo. So while the system might not be as broad reaching as you are suggesting, it's definitely been changed from your grandparents' EAS.
I believe this was demonstrated by the "You're holding it wrong." debacle.
Not really the same thing. It seems unlikely that people would hold an iPhone 4 differently from previous iPhones, so "you're holding it wrong" is a silly claim to make, because they are not holding it any differently.
Meanwhile, if one is grabbing the cable and yoinking, that is a different method of unplugging a cable, as gripping the nice, solid plug part of an electrical cable is nothing new. It's been that way for decades. The only difference here, as I'd mentioned in another reply, is that the nice, solid part is rather tiny on magsafes. Meaning (in my opinion) that it'd be much more likely that one would disconnect a magsafe differently from any other electrical plug they may have unplugged over the last few decades.
But as I'd also replied to others, I was simply trying to better understand GP's issue. I was making no claim to the superiority/inferiority between the 2 kinds of connectors, nor was I trying to insinuate a particular method that GP was using to disconnect the cable.
Counter-question: Does it matter if he treated both connectors the same way?
...not the point? I was simply asking a question so I could be better informed about GP's issue. Nothing more, nothing less.
Though I certainly agree that it is easier to disconnect the magsafe connector in an improper way. If the EEE PC plug is at a right-angle, gripping it by the nice, solid plug is the only way to disconnect it. You can't just yoink on the cable since it's at a 90 degree angle to the direction you need to yoink to pull out the plug. And if it is not an angled plug, the nice, solid plug is generally much larger/longer than the nice, solid plug of the magsafe. Meaning (at least in my opinion) you are much more likely to grab the part that is safe to be yoinked on.
Apple fanboy variation on "you're holding it wrong"
I'm afraid I don't understand. Would you call someone a fanboy of whoever came up with the standard 3-prong electrical plug if they were to ask:
How are you disconnecting the plug from the wall outlet? Are you just grabbing the cord and yanking, or are you grabbing the nice, solid plug and yanking?
You misunderstand. Say for example a movie on DVD has black bars at the top and bottom, because it was shot in a wider format than 16:9. Were I to load that movie on Netflix, and it was being provided by Starz, the left and right sides would be cropped in order to display the movie in a 16:9 format without any black bars.
And yet, as a Netflix subscriber, my first thought at reading this was "good riddance". But then I'm one of those people that insists on getting uncropped content (while I've not browsed the entire Starz library that was available on Netflix, any movies/shows that I did watch that Starz had provided would be cropped so that there would be no black bars on my 16:9 screen).
Then there are diseases like chicken pox, a disease in which parents would go out of their way to ensure that their children got it at a young age. So to me it's no surprise that people are forgetting how bad some of these diseases can be when schools are requiring vaccination against freaking chicken pox before letting kids attend class.
Now it could be that chicken pox can be worse than what I know of it. I'm simply basing this on the fact that everyone I know went out of their way to ensure that their kids got chicken pox.

How's that quote go? "I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. They are very un-Christ-like."?

Your PS1/2 can play UMDs?
my first magsafe adapter lasted about 9 months before the cable started to fray where it enters the connector
Question. How were you disconnecting it? Did you just grab the cord and yoink, or did you grab the nice, solid plug and yoink/rock it off?
Ew, hate acronyms within acronyms. Still, thanks for clearing that up, was real confusing what the difference was.
Yes
Breathing pure nitrogen would probably be exactly like breathing air except you pass out.

Ok. So why can't the same be said of AMD? Do adults not run that company?

Ah, I was thinking it was some sort of word play. Pounds as currency vs pounds as unit of weight.
Wait, why is Slashdot Channel listed in GBP?

and neither would a tablet with a mouse, keyboard, and a nice big external drive.
I'm confused, why can't you unplug the mouse, keyboard, and nice big external drive from the tablet like you did with the PC?
