Hehe...you shouldn't care at all. That's what's great about the WIN Phone 7, you get to spend more time doing other things than fooling with your phone 'cause the phone makes you want to do almost anything except use it. A genius solution to people always on the phone just make using the phone a miserable experience.
You probably wouldn't believe some of the junk we're using then. It barely ran XP Pro and then they upgraded it to vista, right after Win 7 became available. So now we're on vista on crappy hardware that struggled on xp. Half the workstations stay screwed on a rotational basis as the IT contractors come by and try to keep them going. I know of 6 people in my shop that bought Macs over the last year just because of their experience with Vista at work.
I didn't say I sealed them in a bubble. I did limit their exposure however. As they grew older and showed maturity I gave them more freedom. It's a judgment call and I may have erred on the side of caution. However the safety of my children was always paramount. Instruction and trust are part of the equation but to turn children loose and say "well you have to trust them" is so often a recipe for disaster.
I happen to think that's a short sighted and foolish idea. Children have no right to privacy. I did accord mine some but it was severely limited in cases where I thought they needed oversight and guidance. That's a parent's prerogative....and obligation. Children are not adults and need guidance and control. A lot of our problems as a society today are because of parents not living up to their responsibilities. There are no bad children, only bad parents.
Well thankfully both are now away from my watchful eye. After years of telling me that they couldn't wait until they graduated and could move out and never come back they finally, many years too late in my opinion, did leave for their own lives. It's gratifying that now that they are on their own and have their own children they see things a lot more my way. It helps that so many of their friends from those days got into serious trouble because their parents were so much more open and trusting. I actual enjoy seeing them now, especially when they bring my grand-children with them. Grand-Children:Gods reward for not killing your kids.:)
Anyone that gives admin access to a computer to their child might as well forget it. But really if you spend some time talking with them and have a good relationship you've got a better chance to know if something is up with them.
Ah, but everyone has their own viewpoint and it always colors their interpretation of the facts. It's the human condition, we all think that if everyone saw things the way we do that the world would be a wonderful place. Of course, I'm right and if you disagree it's because you are an idiot.:)
It's easy to fix the privacy issue. I told my children in advance that I was monitoring their computer. I gave them non-admin accounts on the box and informed them that I WAS watching everything they did. Thus informed it's not like I"m spying, they know I'm there.
I wonder if those guys ever saw the movie Pretty Baby where Brooke Shields portrays a child living in a damn Bordello? They'd probably lynch the director......nah....now that I think about it they let that one go that had sex with a kid. I guess you only get punished if you're not famous.
It's not uncommon for sexual predators to get much less time than this for truly heinous crimes. For some reason when crimes are perpetrated over the net the justice system goes bat shit crazy.
What's secure encryption today may, a few years down the road, be trivial to break. Best to destroy the drive whether it be mechanical or digital. Most of the time a 3 year old drive is worth a fraction of what it cost new.
I see you haven't sat in a hospital emergency room in a while. Yes, they provide emergency care to stabilize a patient. You'd be surprised how limited that care can be. If you aren't going to die in the next few hours then you sit and wait...for many, many hours. All they will do is stabilize you so you don' t die on the premises. That's it. Try it sometime. If you are in an ambulance headed for the hospital and there is more than one in the area you can bet they're going to try to get you to go to another one by claiming not to have room. I've seen where ambulances have driven around and around trying to find a place and people actually died. (The lawsuit wasn't pretty) It's not that I think we don't need some kind of health care reform, it's that it needs to be well thought out and not this "we have to pass it to see what's in it" crap.
I've spent a lifetime working to pay my own health insurance. I guess I'm a stupid sap because it never occured to me I could get someone else to pay for it for me. What was I thinking?
Can't say about FOX but Glenn is anti-government. He was down on W when he was prez too. Not as much as Big O but he didn't like him much. W was big government too.
Really. I wasn't aware I hated the internet. Of course you may be one of those people who say Conservative when you mean to say republican. I've been enjoying the internet for almost two decades now. I'm a file freak and usenet junkie. Conservatives love the free flow of information. Of course the pr0n is nice too.:) Why don't you lighten up a little and quit worrying about mean ole Mr. Beck. I guarantee you if you ignore him he'll go away. Hating on him just fuels his fan club. I've been using Google since it first arrived on the scene and I was amazed at the speed and accuracy of my searches there. Just cause Glen is paranoid ain't about to stop me from going right ahead and using it. No matter what Glen thinks we still have due process in this country and they haven't suspended the Constitution yet. I wonder what he's going to rant about when a Republican is sitting in the oval office two years from now?

You sir, are a master of sarcasm.
I always thought of Congress as a cesspool of crime.

Definitely a PG rating.
I always thought Washington was the greatest. He resisted all attempts to make him a king.
But I liked RonBO a lot.
Heck, I liked Clinton too. Especially after these last two clowns.
I'm quite proud of my pecker. Send me your e-mail address and I'll hook you up with that pic.
If you have nothing to hide this surely shouldn't be a problem.

What? I've never heard of the CIA getting involved in dirty tricks involving sex. I think a citation is needed here.
Let's just leave the facts out of this. They'll get in the way of getting rid of Julian.

Just don't use Google!
