    Bzz .. wrong!It's a (minor) hassle for programmers to embed this to the browser plugin.

    > I think it's great that there will be a domain for children's web sites.

    What about other existing sites? Do you think that you should deny your kids access to all existing kid-sites on the internet? Non-US?

    Only people living in 1994 are still trying to play the "I'll just block dangerous ports" whack-a-mole game with their firewalls.

    Right, IMO.
    But why I have yet to see a Firewall-HOWTO using --policy DROP?

    There are plenty of good and useful VB applications out there, same as there are plenty of crap and bloated C and inline assembler applications out there.

    I disagree with you here. It takes much more time to create a bloated application in assembler than it does in VB. The ratio of bloated VB and assembler applications around us, reflects that.

  12. Re:Dubious use of technology? on Pro-Active Furniture Assembly · · Score: 1
    Hell, how difficult is furniture to put together anyway?

    I've seen a story on germant TV asking the same. The experiment is:
    - ask IKEA shop assitant to put together a bookshelf - takes 15 minutes
    - take the disassembled bookshelf to middle Africa and give it to family of bushmans - they enjoyed it a lot, but it took over 4 hours to put it together.

    Your milage may vary.

    In fact there is an European internet project called SATI@home, or Search for American Territories Intelligence, that is listening for intelligent life in North America.
    I wish them lots of luck. I've lived in America my whole life, and have yet to encounter conclusive evidence of any Intelligence here. I mean, "Will and Grace" is a hit show in the US. That tells you about as much as you need to know.

    I've heard they got whole Agency dealing with Inteligence Centrally.

    Customer: Uh. Oh. I don't remember my own number. But I'm sure it was in my backpack, that I left here in the corner.

    Shop-assistant: Well, it's not there. Perhaps the guy that walked out five minutes ago stole it.

    Customer: Oh my god. I'm going to call my husband right away! He is a cop you know... Wait, I don't remember his number I had it in my cell phone ...
