I can't drink coffee anymore, besides being horrible on my body it doesn't seem to keep me awake these days- on the contrary, it just makes me crash that much harder.:(
Microsoft will have to bomb every phone company out of existence before I think of getting a MS-based phone. Why did you say that? Now we're all fucked.
My seven year old cousin is pretty web savvy, and since his older brother uses P2P I'm fairly sure he's started, too. Of course some of those programs are ridiculously easy to use, and others just need a bit of explaining, so it shouldn't be much of a surprise.
First, is your teenager aware of your snooping? If they are, do they not like what you're doing?
Concern and worry yourself silly if you so wish, but when you start to force your way into people's (be it child, teenager, or adult) private lives because of it you need to stop and take a step away. Nobody enjoys it, especially when it comes down to 'busting' them for something. If you have a problem or concern then how about trying the direct approach and asking said person yourself instead of going behind their back? Even if your teenager (good for them) is fine with your snoops, I'd suggest the above anyway.
"It has become obvious that the kids today (unfortunately) are not too bright about their trust in adults," apparently. Though generalizing for the entirety of 'kids today' wouldn't be recommended, as there are quite a few out there who do, indeed, cover their digital tracks [as best they can].
Kids post the things they do for the same reasons that adults post the things they do. We all have working minds, opinions, and views. Wording something that someone else will disagree with doesn't make it ridiculous, amazing, or surprising. Rather, it shouldn't.
I guess you'd have to cure cancer, but in a really stupid way. "The anti-carciogenic effects of wearing funny hats, standing on one foot and singing the national anthem while engaging in sexual self-stimulation."?
Then watch as that ends up happening one day. I will laugh so hard.
Diamonds were never my friend. I'd drool over a new graphics card before I ever drooled over a rock (though I will say shiny things catch my eye, but that does not nescessarilly mean gold or diamonds). On V-Day this year I was given a book and a new game. For my birthday I'm getting a new hard drive (and possibly 2GB more RAM).
Guys always react with wide eyes whenever they find out I do something even remotely connected to computers besides IMing and posting on my favourite sites. Tell me, why is it such a surprise? And why on earth did they (Oxygen Network) take so long to finally figure this out?
Because that will quite obviously change everything and stop downloads. Who on earth thought of "Captain Copyright" in the first place? Besides that, isn't it legal to download, just not to share?

... but napped instead.
Logic has nothing to do with it.

Space sperm ftw!
At least among the people I know, movies seem to be "holier" than music, people think it's a completely different thing to yoink a movie for free.

As if the sugar by itself wasn't bad enough.

Sleep.. during high school? Never heard of it.
Or "Oh my fucking god-zors what the fuck", for some.
I've generally shouted things that were a little easier on the tongue. But I have been known to get annoyed and use versions of "OMFGz0rWTF!?!?"
Cheers. :)
I suddenly have the urge to hunt down a shiny keyboard and buy it.

Tech over diamonds? Hell yes, any day of the week.
