I agree, you should make sure you stay away from films and video games in particular. And wear a big sign that says implores bad people to stay away from your line of sight lest you be influenced by their misdeeds.
I personally first got drunk when I was.... *way* too young:) but I got drunk a handful of times more between then and erm.. 15 and started having a life at about then that involved going out and drinking regularly. By the time I was 16 1/2 or so I'd grown out of getting drunk and these days I drink about... 3 times a year, sometimes less. Soft drinks taste better anyway:)
People have the ability to do a hell of a lot more harm to themselves when they can easily walk into an off-licence and buy stupid amounts of alcohol with that readily availably money they happen to have.
As for drinking young doing harm to a developing body... well, I'm sure it stunted my growth or something... *cough*
As with you I had parents who were willing to let me make my own mistakes, despite this I made surprisingly few. I think this was mainly due to them respecting my opinion from an early age and allowing me to develop the ability to make a decision based on the facts at hand, as opposed to the proverbial "hand of god".
Personally, I plan to make my kids - should I ever have any - aware that I'll be logging everything they do on their computer until the day that they move out
Nice to see a parent of tomorrow planning the education of their children in proxy servers... or maybe tunneling.
Unless your children are terminally stupid I doubt you have much to worry about, this kind of thing is usually self regulating. Porn for example, children too young to see it generally just think it's funny or gross (hell, at the age of 20 I almost universally feel the former, often hilarious) and by the time they get turned on by it what's the problem? Afraid that masturbation will make them go blind?
Someone would have to be a complete idiot to do most of the stuff that can get someone in trouble on the net (with the exception of filesharing, but let's face it, most people doing that are over 18). Sadly of course most people, adults and children, are completely stupid. I propose a solution to this: stop idiots having computers.
This "get out of my house if you want to do $thing" attitude has always pissed me off immensely, they *can't* get out of your house, they're not legally allowed to. Even if they were, society has gone around making age an eligibility requirement for independent living, try getting an apartment at 15 or 16, or a job. Stop acting like they have a choice.
When will people learn that children are people too, and (most) can make sensible and mature choices given the chance, definately by the time they're into double figures. If your particular 16 year old keeps sticking their fingers into electrical outlets you might want to ask yourself who's fault that is.
Not that gbit ethernet is going to get anywhere near peak theoretical, but it's nice to not be insanely theoretically contended./me kisses the 64bit PCI slots on her G3, and looks angrily in the direction of the 32bit ones in her Athlon
If your definition of fine is having 56mbits of bandwidth for all the other peripherals on the system, including the IDE controller which is typically PCI bus mastering, sure.
Every man I know taller than me is dating someone shorter than me... if you have normal women to choose from why pick the vertically freakish few;) I've had men say they'd have less sore necks with me, but they must like neck pain...
I dunno, but feel free to tell me if you find out, I seem to be suffering the very same affliction... I suspect it may have something to do with being a student but I can't be certain.
Hmm... average female height=5'6" average male height=5'9"
How exactly did you come too "equivalent to a 6'4" or 6'5" male."?
I'm 5'11" and whilst it's pretty rare I do come across at least one other woman as tall as myself most days walking around major cities, even more in London, the place is full of them, most tube journeys I've been on have included at least 1.
It feels intensely shallow, but yeah, going out with a shorter guy is... *sigh*... odd, having done it before... it's a real problem though because it rules out most of the male population, which makes the odds of finding someone who's also compatible really low.
Or if you're a profesional doing video editing that needs insane space you get two of these and RAID them together and poof, they're already faster than a single 7200 rpm HD.
As another poster said, you don't really need anything special these days when it comes to video, uncompressed "normal" broadcast video comes out to about 20MB/sec, a datarate that pretty much any modern drive can do (thanks to density), and that's the highest bit-rate you're possibly going to encounter before you go to HDTV resolutions, of course *then* the numbers all start getting a bit silly:)
I have a very similar issue with a KT-133 based board (Abit KT-7), but it's seemingly down to my Geforce 3, it always boots fine with an ATI rage pro in but always fails to boot first time with the GF3, I stick a non-bootable floppy in to stop it booting and wait for 10 mins or so and then cycle the power and (as long as I've done the ritual in the prescribed way:)) it always boots fine.

Yes, let them cherish every scar on their body as a lesson from their kind, wise, noble parent.
*nod*

It's nice to hear a voice of sanity in a discussion about parenting, rather too rare.

Hah, you'd still be unsupported :).
Apple only supports from the factory CPU configs, it doesn't care if you put a G4 card in.

Sorry, just noticed you said megabits... well, that's pretty shitty.. ;)
This RAID, is it by any chance IDE?
If yes:
Is this IDE controller, or the gbit ethernet controller, by any chance on a 32bit 33mhz PCI bus?
I've always wondered about that, I suspect people with Marfans syndrome skew the number somewhat.
Considering the heart is a muscle I can't imagine it having to work harder over a lifetime would do it harm as such.
There are clinics that do that sorta stuff... also very high heels :) she might not be all that happy about the idea though ;).
Thankyou for adding another supportive datapoint to my theory of all tall men being attached, heh..
Every man I know taller than me is dating someone shorter than me... if you have normal women to choose from why pick the vertically freakish few ;) I've had men say they'd have less sore necks with me, but they must like neck pain...
Shrub is 6'0"!?!?!
I find that deeply unlikely, or else he has very bad posture and hangs around with very tall people
I dunno, but feel free to tell me if you find out, I seem to be suffering the very same affliction... I suspect it may have something to do with being a student but I can't be certain.
It's not a be all end all thing... a bonus...
Most people even have some height as a requisite threshold, although usually height=>me or me
Oh, btw, the female equivalent to basketball question is "are you a model".... equally annoying...
Yeah, it's always hard to avoid stepping on them, and you feel so guilty afterwards! :)
apart from myself :)

Yes, but, Tyr!
Admittedly a Sci-fi series is probably in a reasonably bad way when the sexiness of it's actors has any particular impact on how much you enjoy it...
Panther DP is as fast or faster than 10.2.6 (guess who avoided 10.2.8 through laziness and 56K :)) for everything I've used it for.
I run a 450MHZ G3 Power Mac and I can't say I've ever noticed the OS being sluggish.
