As the greatgrandparent of this post mentioned, many of us are better at expressing emotion and nuance through the written word than through facial expressions.
The lack of emotion involved keeps people from taking offense, and IMHO leads to less confusion. Flamewars aren't really arguments, but rather jokes.
because you can follow several independent threads at once. More than one person can "have the floor" at once, and no one feels jipped because they weren't able to voice their opinion or were interrupted by someone else's opinion.
The internet is great at stripping the physical characteristics of our world and leaving thought. Well, thought and conspiracy theories aboout evil cell phones, overbearing corporations, bribes of congress, and the like.
I guess you're one of those people who has a start menu and runs program installers on an OS that still uses 8.3 filenames and drive letters.
On my two primary system (my Linux iBook and Linux server) I haven't run a single installer. I don't have a start menu.
For add/removing software I type either "apt-get install foo" or "apt-get remove foo" in a root console. If the need/desire strikes me, I can run "apt-get source foo". If I'm feeling really bored and want to browse software, there are numerous GUI interfaces to apt for me to use.
For menus, I just right click on my background to get a categorized menu of all installed GUI apps. Every installed package has documentation, and every package is updated to the latest version weekly.
Are we helping the evil company by saying the DRM, Palladium, etc of the upcoming Windows Longhorn will royally suck more than English class itself!? If so we'd better go back to saying that NT3.5 was perfection and M$ has just continued to screw it up since then.
In all seriousness, this is a good example of why developers and engineers shouldn't be in marketing. I am always bragging about the features in the unstable version of FlameCalc, but I never stopped to consider that if I was selling this for a profit without free upgrades I'd be hard pressed to keep any customers. (And not just because loops, conditionals, and code objects are still in the unstable branch!)
I'm on the computer day and night, albeit with programming rather than video games. I am at a desk with 4 monitors, one of which constantly has the tv going. Thanks to a fubar metabolism I eat as much (junk) food as is humanly possible without gaining a pound or having tooth decay.
I'm not judging you as a parent, or telling you what to do. Just so long as people realize there are two sides to the parent/child arrangement they shouldn't have any trouble.
I'm not suggesting a legal remedy, nor am I saying that parenting should be restricted by the government. I am saying that placing such restrictions on children is a bad idea and is rarely in their best interest.
I care because I read George Orwell's 1984, and I saw that as a possible future.
No one gives a shit about parent and child relationships so long as they aren't physically or sexually abusive. In 15 months, is it likely that I won't give a shit either? Do any of us care about the plight of other human beings that we can't directly relate to?
I know that legally colonial serfs had more rights than I do as a minor in the USA, but I wouldn't take shit like this.
This is just begging for waterproof-testing, dogbiteproof-testing, bullyproof-testing, backingcaroverproof-testing, and fireproof-testing. I can understand the acceptability for much younger children, but by the time we get a single friend with a driver's license the "leash" idea is dead in the water.
You celebrate that the government doesn't have the right to put a radio collar on you, yet you jump at the oppurtunity to put one on your own child!

The 5500 has 64mb of ram while the 5600 has 32mb of ram. By using an alternative distro such as OpenZaurus you can use all of that ram. The sharp rom makes a ramdisk for program storage.
can afford Helium. The big problem is that M$ patented helium blimp technology solutions. Using Hydrogen will avoid the patent disputes of course and therefore is the preferred solution.
Here is a java game that I wrote with her in it, but it reportedly has display problems in M$IE/MSVM and j2re1.4.1 for OS X. I'll rewrite it as a JApplet when I get a chance.
As I remember a certain evil corporation attempted that. They result was that apps would store everything from logs to movies in the registry which resulted in major ram depletion and instability.

not informative!
/.ers would understand it, but no.
/me thanks goodness that bsdgames isn't installed in Mandrake by default.
This writes morse code out in ascii text directly onto the primary ide hard disk. I figured
Any Linux admin knows this will write dits and daws in ascii text to the primary hard disk.
Is the variable for the players name in many of my games.
Did you just call my comment stupid!?

Try it, it really works. You must be root of course.

It's called Debian GNU/Linux, and it is the best distribution I've ever used.

Your kid could call home drunk with a cell phone. A radio tracker would not be necessary.
As a tip, get you kid hooked on caffeine(as I am) and they won't touch a drop of beer for fear that it will negate the good stuff(caffeine).

There is a difference between me saying that you shouldn't track your kid and me saying that you shouldn't have the right to track your kid.
You should wear your seatbelt, but as Libertarians I hope we agree that you shouldn't be forced to wear your seatbelt.

and they make up the vast minority of parents by doing so.

And as I said here, I'm only 16.

And don't forget my classic Switch Article.
I'd add to your rant, but your arguments kick enough ass to stand on their own.
There aren't enough people like you in the US; it's a miracle that thing aren't as fucked up here as over there or in red China.
I added a card the size of a stampt to get 256mb of extra storage and I can still use the cf slot for ethernet on my Zaurus.
That said, I recently replaced my first zaurus ($300) with a new zaurus ($250) only to be given a heart attack by this article.
I wholeheartedly agree. The day the professor died is the day it started to suck.
