My wife is better at, well, uh, working... damn...
But I spent three years working as a cook in a restaurant, which brought me up to her level of cooking. I like to experiment though. The only thing that went bad (so far) was some fish I made that she didn't like at all and just couldn't eat. A cook is only as good as his ingredients.
An oldie that I used myself was Renegade... I found it excellent... works on telnet too... it actually got picked up again and is still being developed... forums are surprisingly current (there are posts from this month!)... rare for an old-school bbs software site...
I don't think it will succeed, 'cause think of it... if every music label used this, they'd keep feeding us the same music over and over... it will be rejected after a while... I'm hoping anyways... y'never know... people will buy whatever they're told...
on the other side of this, my dad (I'm 20 now, and maybe 6 months out of the house) was the kind that said "my house, my rules"... not a good idea... especially with a kid as stubborn as me...:) the computer did become an issue, only because I was on it a lot, sometimes into the wee hours of the morning... we always had conversations/arguements like "it's late", "it's late for what? I have nothing to get up for in the morning.", "it's late, get off"... etc. etc. etc... not explaining rules is a terrible idea... terrible... with myself and my father it created a lot of stress... and it ended with him kicking me out of the house... it was better this way though... we actually get along better now... but I do agree, and appreciate some things he's done... like co-signing my student loan... but as for if I will let my future children have computers in their room? no... they'll know why, but no... unless they buy their own... then that's another matter for discussion...
Any profession that requires certification require such because a lack of knowing what your doing can be a safety issue... car repair, since if your tires, for example, are put on wrong and fall off in traffic, it can have devistating consequences... hair design, because, as you said, of the chemicals, etc... even plumbing because it can damage others' appartments if you have a serious leak in yours, or even worse... repairing your computer badly is no safety issue at all... unless your hard drive starts spinning backwards, catches fire, and burns your house down... but until I see something like that in the news, it's no safety issue... if you hire someone bad, and they screw up costing you more money, it's your own fault for hiring someone without the experience, or who just doesn't know what they're doing...
google works best in my opinion... in almost every search the first result is what you're looking for... how many times does that happen on other search engines... who cares how they do it... if it works, use it... if this guy chooses to use another search engine and go through page after page of results befor finding what he wants, I say go for it... but don't complain...
hahaha... that's funny... and sadly, it's true I guess... but I've been told I write how I speak... so does that mean I talk like William Shatner?? I certainly hope not...
this is the exact reason I'm not going to programming... at least not with a big corporation... I've been told more than once that I could have work my ass off in high school and go to the University of Waterloo and then make tons of money! but frankly, I don't want to... I love programming, yes... but a job with a huge corporation brings huge stress... so I decided to be simple... not give up computers entirely... I don't think I could... so I'll teach it... in high school... I get to do what I love, while making something of a difference in people's lives... and a whole whack less stress... and a whole whack more happiness...

it's amazing the speed at which we got modded down!
And that's gotta be one of the best first posts ever. Entirely off topic.

hehe... you got modded down for that too... that's great...
"boost in confidentiality"?
Big words aren't one of your strengths are they?

I was waiting for someone to mention LORD... that's how I learned what "getting laid" meant...
I was young...
you must be Canadian...
really? [peers outside] huh...
that wasn't the fact at all... the fact was that a four-year-old is using Linux, not that it's safe for a four-year-old...

let the buyer beware.
