I said "properly administered". The fact that your parents used violence with you for no reason doesn't change the fact that a smack on time can help shape the character of children. I only ever got smacked twice, and looking back after all those years I see that they were well deserved. I wasn't the pain, because it was not painful. It was the shock. I learned I shouldn't do whatever I did or there would be an outcome, and that was enough because you can't reason with a 4 year old. Years later I understood why I was smacked. And here it is the difference. No matter how intelligent you think your child is, you can't reason with him over certain limits. Don't get me wrong, children are not stupid. They are clever little buggers. There is a logic on everything they do. But that logic is not the same that the one that governes your life. Therefore you cannot impose your logic by reasoning alone. In the same way he can't impose theirs on you. The more complex the issue, the older they need to be to grasp why they acted wrong. Obviously any punishment needs to be proportional to the wrongdoing, and a smack needs to be the very last resort.
You cannot be a parent and a friend, all at the same time. When you act like one, you stop being the other, and if you do that often you're going to confuse the hell out of your children.
If parents were allowed to discipline their kids properly, this problem would be much smaller in the first place. But the politically correct wankers that fear anything that are said about them on the press not only habe taken that away from the parents, but also the teachers.
That said, I can hear the bloody thing and i'm 28...
It's great, kind of a mixture between a resource-based strategy game and a FPS... one master player controlling gathering of resources and directing strategy from above while other (real) people control the grunts and the soldiers from a first person perspective. Very innovative.
Actually, I believe that earth's magnetic field protects the planet and surroundings from solar flares that happen ocassionally. I wonder if this is the case, and what effect could it have on us and all machinery we have spinning on orbit.
Yeah, and everybody knows the great support of these technologies you mentioned that IE has built in... I agree, tho, that there are heavy changes on the underlying technology, that is, Windows itself... IE6 has become part of 4 different versions of the MS Windows IS atm.

I agree. For some listeners, the anticipation and participation on the music they're listening to enhaces greatly the music experience. Mike Oldfield used to argument that the almost total absence of percussion in Tubular Bells gave great character to that piece of music, because "rhythmic drums tend to balance the real music".

Someone please ring 0-800-ANALOGY-POLICE.
I was disciplined (in the common sesne of this word) TWICE in my whole life, yet I know what's good and what's bad
You just proved my point. Discipline, when properly administered, doesn't need repetition.
Kids nowadays have no limits, no responsibilities, no consequences to their acts, and yet they feel they've got all the rights.
If parents were allowed to discipline their kids properly, this problem would be much smaller in the first place. But the politically correct wankers that fear anything that are said about them on the press not only habe taken that away from the parents, but also the teachers.

Clint is a great character and somehow a genius. Surprising considering his past though.
YOU ARE BREATHING.
The analogy police will come after you.
Only because there was none to be confiscated.
So, essentially, a computer is an extension of my body?
You'd love that when watching dirty videos, wouldn't you?

Started days ago...
Distrowatch counts Kubuntu, Xubuntu and Edubuntu, so all 4 share the first spot.
Will it be able to run Doom?
Stop breastfeeding piglets. You know they don't understand.
Just for some people. Won't show up on my gmail.
Yes, it is. Eyeos has less fancy stuff but seems to be more stable though, I have had many Java exceptions on AW so far...
A photo would be enough mate.
They deliberately omitted Harvard because Prof Nesson's other activities. They don't have so big a pair of bollocks as to defy the power of the Empire.
This.

Art is not in the notes that one play, but in pauses among them...

I would not envy the boot time of that thing.
