The thing about 10th place is probably true, but California taxes are way more progressive then average. Marginal tax rate is what, 9.3%? And you get in that bracket if you income is more then $40k.
All of this is probably off-topic, though.
You deserve credit for letting you kids browse the web on their own - I think it is in most cases correct thing to do. You talked to them that they can (and will) encounter both good and bad things there, didn't you? In my experience, the biggest danger of Internet is wasting time (kinda what I am doing now), not being poisoned by porn or whatever other stuff you can find.
Stay away from 15 years old - my parents would really discredit themselves in my eyes if they tried to snooped on what I regarded as my private life at 15.
Deal with time they spend surfing just like you'd deal with TV time (but I think TV is way more evil than Internet), especially if you see that gets into the way with reading, sports or non-virtual friends.
Supposedly you have a router in your home network. Many routers keep an access log. Keep an eye on it - just in case. Also occasionally you could look in the browser history. You should be concerened not to be too invasive, but in most cases it works automatically - from the access log you'll get an equivalent of the phone call log, but without their passwords you will not get to their content (which is good).
The main reason it is XML is so it integrates well with other W3C standards: SMIL, XHTML, XSLT, XSL:FO and CSS. Actually SVG itself relies a lot on these formats. For instance, styling is done with CSS, SVG can easily be generated with XSLT, a lot of SVG text layout attributes came from FO and SVG animation is basically an integration with the SMIL animation module. SVG is not supposed to do everything by itself, and, for instance in Adobe SVG Viewer v6 preview you can embed a pieces of XHTML in SVG and SVG in XHTML.
And verbose it is not. Actually after gzip compression (support for gzip is mandated by the spec) it is one of the most compact graphics format.
Being the guy quoted by Boiotos, I can only say that we can post Linux preview release only once we feel that we are going to get meaningful feedback with it (whether it is short or long while - or at all). If it is too unstable, there are too many bug reports and it's simply too time consuming to sort through them (and frustraiting to the users, of course).
Because it is really hard to build any sort of social system if most people are allowed to just stay lazy. It might be a perfectly happy way of living, but it hardly will be a new era of innovation and creativity.
It seems to me that the Roman empire already illustrated what the problem with this approach is. Does 'Bread and Circus' tell you something? The problem is that in the society where you don't have to work or do anything to survive most of the population just deteriorates to the subhuman level. You have to have something that would make us to overcome our natural laziness.
Yeah, you can do this kind of stuff in PostScript. When I was learning it I have written this little Postscrpt file that prints a new maze every time you send it to the printer.
It depends on what you call open. It is definitely not open in W3C terms:
You have to accept license agreement to get it (and you should ask company lawer if you can accept it before you click "Yes" - it has some real implications, it is NOT simply "you should know that we hold copyright" type of things -read section 3 "Restrictions").
The license effectively says that it is Macromedia implementation that is normative and the "spec" is informative.
Where is patent policy?
Can I participate in the future SWF format development?
Otherwise, yes, you can write your SWF player or save to a "Macromedia Flash (SWF)" format.
You are wrong on two counts:
1. There is a full syncronization between animation and graphics in Adobe SVG Viewer. Adobe audio element works just like SMIL audio element with all synchronization stuff available for it.
2. There is already an agreement that it should be perfectly legal to embed SMIL audio element in and SVG document and it should work just the way Adobe audio element does now.

BTW, kudos to KSVG team!

Note that beta is Windows only, and it does not crash at least in my install of Mozilla.
