Well, I wasn't saying your particular example was bad. I was just saying that if you let your child lie to you and always think she got away with it, it may result in a varying degree of issues down the road.
The difference however is you can reliably teach a teenager the imminent danger present in such a situation. A child as young as my sister was hasn't yet developed enough skepticism to discern that sort of danger. The concept of a "stranger" may be present but it isn't solidified yet; they can still be convinced they're a friend of some sort. A properly taught teenager should be able to remain skeptical and opt not to follow a stranger.
A teenager is better equipped to take care of itself than a 3-year-old is in cases of momentary separation. He may be worried, but I doubt it will be the gut wrenching fear of losing someone so young.
I remember one time about 15 years ago when my father was in the hospital and I was a ~14 year old. I was walking my little sister who was around 3 about the hospital because we didn't want to be in the hospital room. We decided to goof off in the elevators. As we went into the elevator, she decided it would be fun to run back out, and just at that time, the doors started closing. So I was stuck in the elevator and my sister was out on her own. I instantly got out of the elevator on the next floor and jumped down the stairs to get to her, and she was gone. Panic stricken, I ran about like a chicken with my head cut off asking everyone if they'd seen her and one guy said after about five minutes of searching: "Yeah, I saw that little girl with a man. He said he'd take her where she thought she needed to be." So I spend another 5 minutes even more panic stricken and finally found her with the man.
Had she been a teenager this would have been a laughably pointless story.
By never catching them in their lies, I guess you teach them to be terrible liars as what they think is sly and clever ends up being obvious to the rest of us, because they never had to improve. I guess that could be a good or bad thing down the road.
There's no way he seriously believed this was a sly test the recruiters were sending out to weed applicants. He's just saying that to cover his ass if Google actually peruses him legally for what he did.
But really though, all this system is for is for certifying that mail actually did come from a specific domain, not a specific sender. I'm not seeing the huge misuse here.
Unless I'm missing something, no he didn't. Patches suck, yes, but he talks about going from fresh Windows 7 to SP1 (which have patches in between), then to patches.
He could just download a Windows 7/w SP1 ISO straight from an official Microsoft source and then his only workload will be the patches after SP1.
You're obviously missing that calling the hospital could have been easily implied here, like that they put pants on before they left the house. He was making a summary about the ordeal. You don't expect his story to say "I called the hospital, pressed 1 to get passed the main menu, then 0 for the operator. Waited on hold then talked to someone who told us we might as well come in," do you?
We also don't even know what the "story" on the news said. It might have said if you or someone you know might have been exposed to get them tested at the nearest facility.
I like that you guys seem to have a sound plan for dealing with this, though I wonder why they use a hierarchy for disseminating information to smaller and small scale pharmacies. Wouldn't it make more sense that all pharmacies should be notified by one central body both for expediency and for reducing the margin of error that one of the links in the chain might goof?
What in gods name made you think they saw the report, panicked, he rushed over there in his car, grabbed their relative and dragged them to the ER based on that post? They could have done exactly what you said and deemed it important enough to make a trip out there.
They never said they didn't use it. They said they didn't pay for it. Your second thought mirrors the rest of their examples, that it's something you shouldn't need to pay for when something is done to you out of your control, like the kid getting hit by a cop car and the mother being billed for the car damages.
A begrudging notice that they will no longer record that you are dirty pirate, however this notice does not represent their opinion that they were wrong about you, just that they're removing the entry.
I don't think so. The ISPs will do everything they can short of disconnecting the user or harming their connection because all that will do is result in losing customers. ISPs only put up with this shit as much as they do because it's not losing them business. If they have to start giving up customers, you damn well better believe the ISPs are going to start fighting, kicking and screaming.
Wow actually is kind of demanding, just not for the same reasons a lot of other games are. Most of the strain is on the CPU rather than the GPU, and even that is catching up slowly with all the new stuff they keep bolting onto the frankensteinian codebase.
I think the worst part of that laptop will be the video card. He's going to need to set the draw distance to near minimum and turn off some of the fancy effects so that wow goes back to looking explicitly like a 2004 game again.
Blizzard always underestimates the demand of the game on older systems. If he runs modern wow on a T400, he will probably be playing at 30fps or under.
What possible program would need to create thousands of files, delete them, then recreate them ad nauseum?
This is such an insignificant issue. AFAIK, It's not even advisable to do this sort of thing in the first place, but to randomly generate your temporary file names instead.
MSE keeps itself up to date on its own, downloading new signatures daily, and taking care of infected items automatically. It also schedules its own system scans. You can easily forget about it without much to worry about.
Your hours probably weren't equal to or beyond what adults would consider full time, were they? And just because in Canada the legal working age is lower than 16 has no bearing on laws in China.

Why would you let your users harass people with these features if you could just as easily disable them once they've reached this imaginary threshold?

That sounds like just good natured southerners than true stereotypical rednecks.
Anything can be abused. That is never a valid reason to not make it available.

The odds of that working are astronomically low. They probably don't want you personally that badly.
As far as the framework is concerned, they actually are the same thing and merely wrapped with syntactic sugar at the source level.
Not that I'm implying they should be used the same way.

I had assumed he was making a euphemism for STD's. Whoops.

You breaking the law in another way that the officer can see isn't an excuse.

You are the perfect personification of what is wrong with this case.
That wasn't really the implication I was making, either.
