Drop your damage down to one and leave hers at full. I used to play with my eight year old brother and it was very easy to balance the abilities. As she gets better nudge your damage back up.
The Barenaked ladies have always been at the forefront of using tech to get their music out there.
I've bought their last three CD's online (including a solo project by Steven Page) with great ease and little expense. The last two were available in flac format so no lossless problems there. They even came with all the album artwork and lyric sheet info available in PDF format.
When 'Maroon' was released they were one of the first bands to provide dummy versions of the song on file sharing networks. (You could download a 40 meg uncompressed file where the song started up but then to band members came on and started shilling their CD in a good natured way over the top of the tunes)
When 'Everything to Everyone' was released a few years ago, I recall trying to get a copy of it from a file sharing network because here in Australia I couldn't get my hands on the CD for months. They flooded the network with all the tracks from the new album without the vocal tracks, so I had to wait. Now, because of their embracement of selling on the web, I don't have to.
The major change from this research is as follows,..
Far out in the unchartered backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western bar arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant blue-green planet whose ape-descended,...etc etc etc
From the Director that brought you Pearl Harbor and Armegedon, the writers that bought you Goonies 2, and the Producer of League of Extrodinary Gentlemen comes the greatest robbery of your childhood by hollywood since they messed up Ninja Turtles 2.
Michael Bay was quoted as saying that the reason he wanted to do this film was because he "wanted to get his hands on a family franchise". Apparently he didn't realise that original transformers fans are now 30 years old.
In Australia we have to constantly battle with people forgetting to put a 'u' into 'colour', people who write 'center' and 'theater' instead of 'centre' and 'theatre', and people who write 'organise' with a 'z'.

People are getting better at considering accessibility on web pages but blind people still miss out on the joy of web comics. My recent web comic is dynamically created and with a little tweaking I've been able to make it work sensibly with a screen reader.
Douglas Adams actually said that he may, in fact, write a sixth book. He collected them all together and killed them so that they were all in the same place if and when he'd do another book.
He was oft' frustrated that he'd spend the first half of each book collecting the characters together.
Plus he always loved to put himself in an impossible situation to force him to find an impossible rescue (improbability drive anyone?)
I once heard Douglas Adams respond to this question.
He said, "I say Disney, and people get very concerned. But you've got to remember that that same company who runs Disney also distributed 'Pulp Fiction'".(Buena Vista)
>> Any spam defense model that analyzes the text is doomed (until the advent of bona fide AI).
Actually, when bona fide AI comes on the scene it's going to be nigh on impossible to filter spam. Do you have a friend who you've only ever met online? Would you trust their judgement if they told you where to buy online?
Maybe the turing test should be changed. If a program can convince you to buy Viagra online, then it passes.

It's a bit old but it's heaps of multiplayer fun and you can play a round in five minutes. No long attention span required.

Disappointing days ahead for Transformers fans.

If you've got speech software setup, try having it read (and narrate) the comic.

Sadly, no such book is coming.

Now if someone could write a virus/spyware that installed this on every window's users computer,...
Use it for good, not evil.
