Been through all of this. First thing I showed my kids was that I can see what they're doing and have done on my network, even while I'm at work. Have pretty much left them to it since then with the knowledge that there would be consequences (Son's PC spent 20 minutes on the nature strip for collection one night).
I've always said "If you're doing something on the net that you would be too embarassed to show me, think about not doing it".
Pretty happy with the outcome, although I still have to bitch about bandwidth near the end of the month - youtube is banned - by family concensus - otherwise ISP turns it down to a dribble.
I believe that showing your picture id (e.g driver's licence) for a credit card purchase increases the liklihood of identity theft - name, birthdate and to a lesser extent current address are the starting points for identity theft. This information is easily skimmed with just an eyeball.
Absolutely! This is the only way to peace of mind. When watching footage of families being evacuated from bushfires, tornadoes etc they will usually carry only their pets, and a couple of family albums. I have code from 30 years ago, and when I look at it now, I reckon it can be left behind in the hope that nobody discovers it and wonders what this guy was on.
Get the best of your photos onto archival paper and into an album, forget everything else.
I'm with you, HappyDrgn. I went to Uni for three years, but didn't graduate. This was because I went for a job where 150 of us sat an aptitude test. After the results came out, I reckon they wouldn't have cared if the top 20 of us were in the prison system.
I'm a pure techo, and Uni didn't teach me anything new about computers, although I use the higher maths that I learned every day.
Having said this, I reckon I'd be a pretty crap manager, and a few extra courses might have smoothed off some of the rough edges, but hearding sheep has never really appealed to me.
There are people in my field (performance engineer) that I respect for their higher learning, usually in the statistices field where the sort of discipline required can only come from Uni, although I personally wouldn't spend the extra four years to get to that level.

Well I know that we're not strictly talking about sets here, but it should still spark some debate.
And what if the above page ends up in Deletionpedia?
The paradox will become part of the paradox!
I agree, Dad took me in to his work when I was 7 to see an IBM 360 reading cards and paper tape. He even presented me with a punched card with my name printed along the top. From that time I was not going to be doing any other type of job.
I recently brought my 2 kids in to see the setup that we have here in the lab (we do Performance Testing and tuning of Windows and Unix apps for a large telco), and they were pretty nonplused by it all. I was disappointed in a selfish way, but I can understand why.
Imagine the enthusiasm that a television technician would have had back in the 40s/50s (i.e. the early days of TV). When I was a kid in the 60s, TV was no big deal, just a window on the outside world.
Today's kids see computers the same way - just a tool to enable them to perform all of the tasks that we dreamed of programming.

Nah... They don't. I just wired one of these up and blew a fuse.

Pretty cool huh? it shows in clear to you, but stars to us!

.. although it's going to take an awful large layer of 1-atom thick carbon to remove all that CO2 from the atmosphere.
I thought the original MQSeries that ran on IBM mainframes had its code base tangled up with DB2 code (Same address spaces, same 2pc code).
If I was them I wouldn't be giving away trade secrets from my flagship product with something ilke MQseries.

Maybe we should get power distribution right on this planet first
