Safari 2 is most definitely not beta. It's been released, it's in Software Update, it's included in every box of Tiger. Quite simply, that page is out of date.
If she started using the drive on Windows, it may be in a Windows-only format. Backup the data and reformat it as FAT. This will allow it to be read from and written to on Macs and PCs.
I'm going to go ahead and assume your "18+ rule" is referring to IQ, not age. There are plenty of smart teens, and more than enough extremely stupid adults who can be just as bad as your average 14-year old.
As a matter of fact, it does. These people are senior citizens. They won't be able to tell a Linux program apart from a Windows one. The fact that he's confident he can find an alternative is proof that it does work. Sure, you may not be able to buy the latest crapware from Wal-mart, but an experienced user will be able to find an alternative (which may possibly be even better) on the Internet.
For your information, you can have Software Update ignore those updates. Simply select the iPod Firmware Update and hit delete, or select Update > Ignore Update in the menubar. Not the most intuitive of interfaces, but at least they give you the option.
Not sure if this is really the reference he's getting at, but there's a Marathon 2/Aleph One level called "Kill Your Television". That, however, may also be derived from something else.
As for a solution to this? I have no solid idea, it is a tough one to decide.
Don't shop there. If you want a book, hit Amazon.com, BN.com (Barnes and Noble), Borders.com, or any other online book retailer. Sure, you may have to pay extra for shipping, but you won't have to submit to the heavy-handed policies of Chapters/Indigo.
The Jack Rabbit at Kennywood Park in Pittsburgh is quite rickety itself, jumping off the track and slamming back down, shaking all the supports very visibly. Now that gets your adrenaline running.
Not to mention the fact that you're held in by a loosely fitting strap of leather. Whee!
Ah, but this is only a theory. The far more "useful" theory tend toward creating this toast-cat mixture, then strapping magnets to its back, thus creating a generator of unlimited power! Enough cats and enough buttered toast, and who needs cold fusion?
Here's what my parents did, and I think I turned out fine.
Introduce computers at a very young age (I was almost, but not quite, 3 when I was introduced). Show them that computers are fun, then make it a privilege to play on the computer. (They have to ask you every time they want to get on). From the beginning, play games with them. This makes sure you have a strong bond with your child while doing something they like. Also, make sure you let them no which are good areas of the computer (games), and which aren't (system folder, daddy's work/porn). If they ask to play on a nice day, make them a deal. Tell them if they play outside for an hour or two, you'll let them on the computer for the same time. This way, they'll know that there are fun things to do outside as an alternative to the computer.
When they are a more responsible age (10, maybe), allow them to get on without asking. Also allow more access (the Internet, possibly). This shows that you are acknowledging their growing up, and trusting them with the computer. Because they feel trusted, they won't try to abuse the computer privilege (at least, not yet).
Last but not least, do not buy them/allow them to play game consoles (which are always counter-productive, as opposed to a computer, which can be used for school/learning) until teen years. (At friends' houses are an exception, as there is then a social attribute).

have you seen the *size* of the Apple human-interface guidelines book
b -hig-2006-02-06-11-30.html
Speaking as a Mac developer... the HIG is obsolete. Apple doesn't follow it, the third-party developers don't follow it. Apple has a "do as I do, not as I say" sort of thing going on. http://www.rogueamoeba.com/utm/posts/Thoughts/iwe

Odd, that looks like a mailing address, not an e-mail address. Are you using Hotmail?

I watched that show, too. I even have the soundtrack (with a bunch of Rockapella music).

Heil Webster!
The word he used was "intrauterine". As in uterus. As in, where the egg lives whilst developing.
Is that a Mac mini or a Mini Cooper?
"grammar nazis"

Actually, The Warriors is based on a movie, so it's not really "breaking new ground".
it's kinda like Slashdot RSS except with audio
You mean Slashdot Review?
Which is why Apple sales have suddenly dried up due to the fact that they're seriously boosting the line in a year.
Oh, wait, they didn't.

A caramel mocha frappuchino is not coffee, and it should not be called as such.
Ah, but what about the tobaccocino? Surely it must be real coffee.
