Most likely reason for this might be that, there might be a loose connection and the phone detected the connection as a data connection instead of pure power connection rather than anything sneaky happening.
This is done b shorting out the D+, D- pins through a ~200Ohm resistor which indicates to the phone that it can draw more than 500mA from the source (500mA is the maximum current a standard USB port can provide on a computer).

We too require to scan our finger (right thumb) whenever we punch-in and punch-out. I guess this is a reasonable arrangement to thwart proxy punch-ins.
Your Time.
Don't just give them the kit (any kit) and leave it at that. Sit with them and YOU start making stuff with them looking and get them more involved as you go along.
I remember my first geek activity. It was when I was 4-5 years old . My father took apart an antique clock apart and cleaned it and later asking me to do small things to do. That is what got me hooked to DIY. Later when I was about 7-8 years old my mom used to read short Sci-Fi stories to me and that's what got me hooked into reading.
Spend time with your kids, they will be far more involved with whatever you do.
As for the kits, anything from Chemistry kits to making models are equally simulating the important thing is getting started at an early age.
We did something similar but on a tiny scale when we were kids.
Take a model boat hull and stick a small soap piece to it at the back such that at least some part of it sticks out below the water line. Place the whole thing in still water and the desolving soap provides the forward thrust for the hull. I believe this is due to the difference in surface tension of soap water and the surrounding water.
That is the reason I like the Symbian platform.
It has two good torrent clients
1. SymTorrent (GPL)(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SymTorrent) and
2. Wizbit (www.s60bt.blogspot.com)
and for controlling Azureus Opera will do the job over GPRS/3G
I completely agree with the parent.In my openion the most usefull feature in Vista is superfetch.Just let the Os figure out what applications and documents you use and see how fast they open up after the OS is done cacheing them.Some software like the office 2007,Opera,foobar etc. basically the stuff I use regularly evry day open up in less than 2 seconds.
Ofcource if you dont like it,you can allways disable superfetch.

If the LASER is anywhere in the visual spectrum, the whole house could become a perpetual disco ;)

May I suggest a mouse that I have been using for the past 1.5 years? The Logitech VX Revolution. It is one of the best (if not the best) notebook mice around right now. http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/mice/devices/165&cl=US,EN

and, here are a couple of high-res renderings of it (from the parent's linked article: http://www.scitech.ac.uk/PMC/PRel/images/PhoenixMars.jpg & http://www.scitech.ac.uk/PMC/PRel/images/PhoenixMars2.jpg
If you are OK with torrents, mvgroup.org is a highly recommended place to look for educational documentaries.
