    You just figured that out? What could a low UID mean other than stumbling onto the site earlier than some other people?

    IE 6 is going to be around for awhile and there's nothing you can do about it. Some of you are going to have to support it because your boss tells you too. I'm sure it's not the only thing your boss tells you to do that you'd rather not. That's why they call it work.

    You can choose to believe the earth is flat if you wish.

    I was hoping you could just read the thread instead of having me spoon-feed it to you, but here goes. Xyrus was arguing that such laws don't help because there are still teens who find a way to abuse drugs. I was arguing that there are other teens that will consider the consequences of being caught and be inhibited from doing it.

    Then in response you said "So you're okay with hurting the majority of kids by oppressing their freedom knowing full-well that the *really* bad apples will not in any way be restricted?"

    Do you see why what you said doesn't make any sense in the context of the thread? If you don't, then I guess you'll just have to to interpret that as "I acknowledge bla bla bla". Oh, and be careful you don't sail over the edge.

    You disputed the statement "parents can't be aware of what their children are doing 100% of the time". What part of "100% of the time" don't you understand? To say that monitoring isn't necessary to know what your child is doing 100% of the time is absurd.

    Why don't you just admit that the percentage is less than 100% and gain some credibility.

    Yes, there will always be some kids that will ignore the consequences. That doesn't mean the majority aren't going to be inhibited by them.

    "Not only is it possible, it's the fundamental responsibility of parenting: know what's going on in your kid's life. If you can't do this, you have failed."

    Listen, bub. There's no parent on the planet who knows what their children are doing 100% of the time, so they must all be failures.

    Your comment reminds me a bit of a question we were asked during jury selection: If you're driving down the highway and you see a car pulled over by the police what do you think happened?

    Apple and the police have their own agendas just as Gizmodo does.

    "why can't I always sort by clicking the header?"

    Because sorting is data dependent. That means that the OS must rely on the application to do it. For some applications it doesn't make sense or maybe the developer was lazy. So the OS provides the tools that support sorting by header but it's up to the application developer to decide if he/she wants to implement it.
