    Don't worry. Intel will need software for any play in media delivery and content management.

    They fail this every attempt. As bad or worse than does Cisco.

    Failure on the launch pad.

    Exciting visual stuff, for a 4-9-year-old.

    And Barry Gray's theme music for Space:1999. I think I put up with the show, simply for that music.

    You remind me of "the Sicilian": "Incoceivable!"

    I have been securing systems since hou were watching Teletubbies.

    It is experience with so-called isolated and segregated systems, with "strong-cryptography" hand-waving, that I am SURE these systems will be made vulnerable.

    I look forward to the "Ask Slashdot" six years from now, asking how to cope with a tech-obsessed and uncommunicative autistic child.

    Insane.

    Put the phone away. Talk to the child. You know: teach human interaction? This is a child, not your personal experiment.

    A review of the evidence in the Archives Of Disease in Childhood says children's obsession with TV, computers and screen games is causing developmental damage as well as long-term physical harm. Doctors at the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, which co-owns the journal with the British Medical Journal group, say they are concerned. Guidelines in the US, Canada and Australia already urge limits on children's screen time, but there are none yet in Britain.

    Why would you substitute the acquisition of developmental language skills and the attendant ability to relate and empathise - with a fixation on shiny lights and noises?

    I understand that this is Slashdot - but value of the concept cannot be completely alien...

    I will do everything in my human power to keep these off of the roads FOREVER.

    Mumbles, don't piss on the birthday cake.

    We were all just having a little take here, and sharing a larf.

    All criticisms of Slashdot karma system were wryly implied in my comment. But it's just not that bloody important, to go all "long-face" about it!

    Heh. That's between myself, and the Weschler test. I never was administered the Stanford Binet under the formal valid conditions. But the grad students ran me against the scale for fun.

    It's some stupid, giant 3-digit. But I failed Algebra, the same year.

    Does "delete" actually REMOVE all your submitted content, and scrub your references and indexes in the Instagram databases?

    Or does it simply block references to your account profile, deny you login and mark you inactive?

    The second is more likely - but I want to know.

    They also adopted Zoroastrian monotheism. Prior to this, Yhvh was the local tribal patron god, in a monopolar paganism. The term is henotheism.
