I'd've given you some karma if you weren't AC, but as it is, you're right and not many people will stumble on it (especially this late).
However, if you do decide to come back and check to see if anyone has read it, I'll give you an 'Amen' for it:)
Out of pure curiousity, why do you need the toolbar in Mozilla? You can set the address bar search to be google if you want to (That's what I have). It's probably why they never made one.
He had the address, but he needed a name. You can't really call the PD and say something like "Hi, I need you to arrest some guy living at this address because he ripped me off." Any number of people could be living there, there were three name matches when he did a reverse lookup on the address.
The problem with that is that both amazon and the referrer lose money on the broken link.
What would be a better idea is that amazon should keep a db of referrers and books they link to. When a book goes out of print, it sends off an auto email to the referrers of the book, letting them know they have a dead link.
Quite the shock to check/. and see yer dad on the front page
Hey, my dad works for Alexa Internet (a few stories back), I was pretty amazed to see that there (the company is probably around 50-100 people).
Course, your dad is cool and 'giving away' laptops, and my dad is working for an evil company who is trying to take over the world. But, hey, whatever. =P
With many of the other posters on here. Stick to command-line stuff first, and once they have a handle on that, then introduce the GUI. Anyone who's running a GUI on *X should know how to use all the commands in a shell as well. I also think that you should give a quick run-through of an install, using slides (or you could be real slick and make a program that displays what the install would actually look like, but without the waiting).
IMHO:
Day 1: Explain exactly what *X is. DON'T BASH WINDOWS. Negative assertion never works. Just explain the pros to running *X in and of itself. There are plenty of those.
Day 2: Show off a GUI, so they know what the end result looks like. Also show a quick run-through of the install stuff.
Day 3-X: Show them around configurations, and let them play with the shell. Remember that you should have a backup partition, in case they *really* mess up something. When kids start getting bored of this, let them play around in the GUI. If they're still bored, then let them try an install for themselves.
And you should definitely talk to the parents before giving them CDs.
Didja even look at it at all?
Adbusters is a magazine that runs anti-ads (like boycotting Black Friday) and has some pretty great articles as well. You should grab one next time you hit a (larger) bookstore. It's actually really interesting stuff. The/. crowd would (mostly) love it.
This is because the phones are programmed (encrypted I believe) with specific coding for each provider. You couldn't even buy a phone without a service, (for say, emergency only situations), unless you contacted the manufacturer.
Land lines are different, they don't have to have specific frequencies allowed programmed into the phone.
First off, I'm fairly certain that the people running sites on kids.us will be toystores, homepages for nickelodeon, mini flash-shockwave game sites, probably a dictionary and encyclopedia site, and possibly a health type dealy. You know, the things that kids would learn and do in school.
parents are going to let their kids look elsewhere for information
Like the library, perhaps? I wasn't online until I was in 8th grade (usenet baby!), and I learned tons of stuff from actual books.
I understand what you're saying, however, I believe that the restriction will be fairly parallel to what kids learn in school and do during after school activities. Even if they do see some other kid with no restriction on their browser, hopefully by then they'll have enough sense to know what they're looking at (and leave if they're uncomfortable). I mean, we can keep our kids away from drugs until a certain age - and then they get offered them. It's up to the parents to tell their kids that the drugs are out there, and hope that the kid will turn it down.
Also, I should note, I'm Christian, and I wouldn't want my kid looking online for religious information. There are way too many divisions in the Church, and tons of misled people. Heck, I don't even look online for religious information - I read books.
Excuse me? So you're telling me that if someone happens to become famous, making the name 'commercially valuable', and that the person happens to have the same name that your parents gave you when you were born, you're the one who has to change your name? Would you really be willing to do that?

Kinda makes me wonder why the editors don't just go through and add that little phrase to the end of any NYT link (it'd be fairly easy to code, methinks). Because every stinking article refering to NYT on here has at least 30 responses of people yelling about the registration.

In theory, one of the key features of iMoD displays will be their ability to hold an image without consuming much power, because of pixel memory.
Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but wouldn't that mean that high framerates would cause the voltage to skyrocket? It seems like it would *look* beautiful, but would be costly to operate.
Of course, if you're going to shell out the cash for this, then you're probably not going to be worried about the electric bill.
That trying to base wireless security on wired security will not work. There will always be a workaround if WEP is used/based on. The only way you're going to be able to secure wireless networks is through authorization and encryption. Tons of companies have already done this, and it seems to be transparent to them.
Actually, I'm fairly certain (in Boston at least) that you can apply for a license to be a street performer. Perfectly legal to do as long as they know who you are. (Probably so that they can fine you if you really do suck)

Well, assuming that you think that Jesus actually existed (and the only good proof I have of that besides the bible is the timeline (BC/AD). Not quite sure there's anything else that old (save sanscrit and such)), Jesus could have been one of three things. 1. The son of God. 2. A good moral teacher. 3. An insane man. Disregard #1 for now, and go to #2. He was a good moral teacher. This is correct, however, would a good moral teacher tell you that he was the son of God? If we assume he wasn't the son of God and that he was proclaiming that he was, he is a liar. A liar cannot be a good moral teacher. Move to #3, was Jesus insane? This seems like the more possible one, as Jesus was healing people and proclaiming the end of the world. However, he was also a highly regarded teacher. He taught the law better than anyone before him. Now, how can anyone who knows the law through and through, and can explain it using clear parables that make complete sense, be insane? Jesus could not have been a good moral teacher if he was a liar, and he could not be insane if he is a good moral teacher. Therefore, he was(is) the son of God.

people in power tend to want to design easy ways to keep their subjects under control.
A Christian following God's will (we do it because we want to, and not because we have to) doesn't want control of anything. They want to lose all their control, and give it to God. (This is Protestant belief - that we are all equal under God)
