"I, for one, believe kids (and adults) should play outdoors and get dirty to help boost their immune systems and reduce the likelihood of allergies.
Eat more dirt"
I happen to agree 100% with you, but I could not resist...Sorry!
If you want to grow a strong, healthy child, you need a lot of dirt, fresh air, and sunshine to allow for strong roots. It also was way cool to grow up on a farm with room to explore and discover my world on my own.
Sadly, this is becoming a rarity for kids now.
I guess times change though, and before I start a 'Get off my lawn!' rant... I have always kept in mind something my grandfather used to tell me: (rough paraphrase)' Life is like a river- water and life are connected for a reason- a river has falls, slow pools, eddies, whirlpools, boulders, sandbars, rapids, all of those things and more. Remember, stagnant water breeds mosquitoes. Who wants that?'
That wisdom he passed to me has enabled me to keep faith in the good overall fate of the human race lately.
'John, WR, USA' had me looking for the 'reply to' button: "Does anyone not notice how often evolutionists change their stories to fit the latest finding?"
I think he misses the point that science works this way. "Elementary, my dear Watson!" Sherlock Holmes would say.
Bah! Most of my fellow citizens are scaring me now days.

After four years, Jake Cardigan is prematurely awoken from his fifteen year cryogenic punishment to a world very different than the one he knew. Much more than before 'Tek', the highly-addictive electronic designer narcotic of the 21st century, seems to be prevalent. His wife has divorced him and disappeared together with their son. He wants them back and he wants justice for those undercover policemen who were murdered by unknown conspirators which led to his imprisonment for a crime he did not commit. He links up with his ex-partner Sid Gomez, now also an ex-cop, and they go to work for the mysterious Bascom who owns and runs the giant Cosmos security corporation. Their first job is a seemingly easy missing persons case trying to locate a missing scientist who may have developed a crystal to destroy Tek chips. The more the two men investigate the more the dark and powerful forces of the hidden Tek lords are sent to thwart them. What is the connection between this case and his wrongful imprisonment four years ago? Will he ever be able to trace his lost family through the infinite twists and turns of this new technological age? In a race against time Jake struggles to come to terms with this new world where nothing is as it seems and his place within it. Written by Mark Smith {msmith@osi.co.uk}"

That sounds nice, but there's a lot to be said for the old cliche: 'variety is the spice of life', in this scenario.
Perhaps better yet, having the ability to reprogram/make changes on the fly...hopefully not by command line interface though.
Ah hell! Some fellow *nix fanboy will jump on this codemonkey style, create a f*ugly UI that will first tell you to RTFM, then RTFFAQ's, then 'Google it' before you can start the app. *disclaimer* The above should be taken as 'tongue in cheek hyperbole', not as a serious flame-if you can't poke fun at yourself, then you have no business poking fun at others!
BTW: I too, am looking forward to my 'tek' overlords! Or, 'Necromancer' style plugging in. Either one/both would be fine with me as long as it's NOT Microsoft OS support only. It needs to be truly cross-platform: Windows, Mac, *nix, *bsd, etc. (Hp-Vax, Sun, IBM?-over my head in this class of OS!), or better yet, OS agnostic.
"The New Zealand Labour government - ostensibly centre-left in political leaning - finds itself somewhat out of touch with its constituency, having furthered some very sinister policies (believe it or not, it is now actually illegal to smack your child for discipline in NZ). "
The far reaching implications are indeed scary. I frequently joke about getting spankings as a child like vitamins: One A Day (tm). But I would also acknowledge the fact that I never received one undeserved-I worked hard for every one of them! I have also 'officially' thanked my mother for my upbringing...she has had quite a few unknown compliments over the years. Gotta pass it on!

If you are a 'SciFi" fan, Keith Laumer wrote a series of stories about advanced AI in armored vehicles ('tanks' to us). The tanks were labeled 'Bolo'. After Keith died, several authors continued the series.(by way of Baen Free Libraryhttp://www.baen.com/library/ One of the books:"The Road to Damascus" 'by John Ringo and Linda Evans, created by Keith Laumer', addresses this very thing by way of a political party that gains power that goes by the moniker of 'P.O.P.P.A.'
"Plus, who are you going to replace them with? Honest people don't like government work very much."
That is one of the more profound statements I have encountered here (on slashdot) about politics for quite s while!
I hope some moderators are here and share some '+insightful' love with you.
That is the situation with the upcoming Presidential elections here in the USA.
It seems to be a choice between a turd sandwich, or a shit casserole. Does it really matter at this point? You already know it will taste like crap!
I guess all you can do is vote as you think is best, and hope it will work out.
Another option would be a revolution, and overthrow of the existing government. This has not worked out well in the past, as the incoming 'party/gov't.' has not planned much farther ahead than getting 'there'.
I, for one, do not have the answers to the questions that have/can/will come about...just more questions.
The only thing even remotely scary about your 'bot-like' post you have been spamming/. with, is the incredulous scenario of you becoming the 'ruling power'. That would only be a very short victory, as I (or someone like me) would skillfully (and with experience from service with Uncle Sam)apply a solution to your existence with a Cranial Injection of High-Speed Lead.

I used to get lunch close by at Taco Bueno everyday, and would have all kinds of problems:
Paint peeling off the walls.
Window rattling at random intervals.
Cow-orkers entering my office would keel over in a dead faint...had to call 911 often to revive them...alas, some could not be revived.
The smoke/fire alarm going off every afternoon several times.
Arrested by the DHS 63 times in 3 months for 'biological weapons attacks' of a 'terrorist nature'. (funny thing, none of the investigators survived to trial, so charges were dropped!)
And worse of all, frequent headaches and hallucinations.
So... I consulted with the IT Dept. to find out where they got lunch and changed my habits to match theirs.
Now, no one comes to my office unless they have problems, and I am not bothered with party invitations anymore!
Only half of them that actually bother me need CPR.
There is no paint on the walls to peel.
I now have a Big Red Button(tm) to push to set off the alarms.
Now, if I could only find an innocuous way to deal the 'Fart of Death' at will to PHB's.....
Yes, I did notice! I made it a point to date the proverbial 'Preacher's Daughters' and usually scored bigtime!
Hell, I even managed(by coincidence) to time it just right and snagged one of them when both of us were finally ready to settle down into a stable marriage. Happily married now for 13 years, and going strong.
In the USA it generally takes one of two forms with the public school systems(note:the number of variations and combinations of Middle School and/or Junior High School for grades 5 through 9 is astounding):
grades 1 through 5=Elementary School, or in some areas Primary School grades 6 and 7=Middle School grades 8 and 9=Junior High School (commonly referred to as "Junior High") grades 10, 11, and 12=High School
or...(as when and where I went to school: southern Maryland-graduated High School in 1976)

P.S. I hope this post is taken as the tongue-in-cheek nature I had intended!?!?:-)
I tend to agree with you in general, though. If developers are pushing 'eye candy', then by golly, give us the means to see some serious 'eye candy'! Quit playing around!
Reminds me of the ole 'Tigger' sound clip (Winnie the Pooh?): "The wonderful thing about Tiggers, is Tiggers are wonderful things. They're bouncy,bouncy,bouncy,bouncy, fun, fun, fun! The wonderful thing about Tiggers, is I'm the only one!"
*off topic* Scratch the '...I'm the only one!' part! I was fortunate enough to go to high school in the earl/mid 1970's- grad'd 1976- when halter tops and mini/micro-mini skirts were the current fashion trend.
I can attest from observation (and the 'rise in my Levi's' factor) that: "bouncy, bouncy fun, fun, fun!" can make a powerful argument while hanging out in Mom's Basement(tm), or anywhere for that matter. Maybe it's just me.....I digress... *back on topic*
There are always the Duke Nukem series to explore. Mine has strippers, pole dancing.....excuse me, I've got to go now.
Same here. I have found some third party mod tools, but even on a recent Fallout DVD (has FO, FO2, and FO:BoS, all with official patches), no mod tools.
Hell, I still keep an old Dell Optiplex GX1 with Win 98SE that has all three FO games on the network...I was playing FO2 on it this past weekend!
And before one of you fellow FO+ *nix zealots sound off about FO running perfectly on WINE-I know, and have it running so on my day to day Kubuntu Hardy PC- I also have some older Win 95-98 games that I still play that are not compatible with WINE, DosBox, Or VirtualBox.
I expect some mod tools will come out sometime after FO3 is released, either from the publisher, or as in FO and FO2, third party/fanbased tools. The 'No Mutants Allowed' website would be a good place to check for this, IMHO. Who can forget 'falche.exe' and 'falche2.exe'?
You sir, are delusioned, as I have countless pairs of left socks....and have patent AND copyright privileges on the 'concept of having only left socks' via my/. profile....oh, wait...let me get to the USPTO!....PLEASE!?!?!?!?!?Dammit, too late! UHMMM.... Nevermind. *crawls back under rock to consult with RIAA lawyer????!!!!???*
All joking aside, until we have a chance to study this seemingly new data, it is all speculation.
This should open new doors to check out. (so to speak)
Yeah, just call it the Universal-Self-Programmable Roomba. *looks at possible acronyms...Hmmmm?-I must lack imagination!*
