Be involved with your kids and actually take a look at what they're playing/downloading and act accordingly. Take it upon yourself to rate their games/apps.
We have been instructed to encrypt all laptops and portable media devices. Some of our machines are slow as it is, the encryption software only increased the number of issues we have had to deal with.
Our biggest issue that the encryption software is setup with a single sign on, so if a user hasn't used their laptop in a few months and has updated their password they won't be able to login to their encrypted laptop because it doesn't recognize the new password. This means one of us admins will need to figure out which admin password is current on the machine and waste time going in and changing the users login credentials to match their current set.
We're getting ready to install portable media encryption software that will encrypt all data moved from the computer to a USB device. I can only imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth that will occur when the first iPod is bricked. Of course I won't feel too bad because they aren't supposed to be used on our network anyway.
I'd suggest not making it mandatory, but giving some sort of credit towards a scholarship for high school kids and/or some sort of college credit for college aged folks. Making it mandatory isn't a good idea IMO.
I'd also suggest letting kids meet this requirement through their local church activities. A lot of kids are already performing community service via church mission work, etc.
I also find it sad that current launches go off with out much fan fare or press. It's like we as a Nation have become spoiled to the fact that we send folks into space these days.
I think most people don't realize (or have forgotten about it) the danger these men and women face during a mission.
Great. The idiots I'm forced to follow who have a cell phone can barely talk and drive at the same time. I'm sure this idea of mobile TV on your phone is going to go over really well.
I mean seriously, do we need more distractions while we drive?
People are going to believe what they want no matter what. Man decided what qualifications something had to meet to be known as a "theory". To a lot of folks, this is limiting what they believe God can do and implies that man may be smarter than God.
Your ignorance is amazing. Have you spoken with any veterans . . . ever? You owe everything you hold dear to gentlemen who fought and gave their lives for the US. Because of that you have the right to act like an idiot. Anyone who bases their opinion on war and fighting for freedom hasn't got a clue.
"Fundamentalist Christians" aren't the only people to watch Fox News. You don't have to be a fundamentalist or a retard to want more than the liberal viewpoint on news.
CNN or MSNBC throws out a liberal viewpoint that you may agree with and that's just fine, but Fox News takes a hard and fast conservative approach on the same topic and they're suddenly faux news?
Whatever.
Back to the topic at hand . . . it's a frickin' video game. I don't see people making such a big deal out of movies and tv shows with similar themes.

Hackers and pirates beware . . . Bruce Willis won't be there to save you this time . . .
Can't you just use the cool lighter app to melt the ice?
Exactly. I may have to go back and read the series again in order to be ready for the next book.
People still shop at Office Depot?
How about a book specifically for people who post on those same online forums?

DOH!
And naturally, as criminals, they would never ever do anything they were not allowed to do.
That's why gun laws have stopped gun violence.
Stopped gun violence where exactly?
First Google Earth . . . then Google Mars.

Luckily, the only time I've left my laptop at home it has been on purpose . . . .

One Red Ring to rule them all!
and bailing wire . . . don't forget about the bailing wire.

Wow . . . thanks for that worthwhile moderation.
I hope it was worth the effort.
Are you sure?
Why not just crack the garage door a little?

Amen
You can have my basic human rights when you can pry it from my cold, dead hands . . . oh wait.

So what, your idea of real news is CNN or MSNBC?

If they can reproduce this situation it'll be huge.
If in fact they do reproduce it, do you think the doctors/researchers will get some sort of Nobel Prize?
