    Give her a private office - or grab one yourself. If you live in a cube farm, find somewhere where you aren't. ;P Anna :rose: Tech Blog | Visual Lint "Why would anyone prefer to wield a weapon that takes both hands at once, when they could use a lighter (and obviously superior) weapon that allows you to wield multiple ones at a time, and thus supports multi-paradigm carnage?"

    Well how does the saying go. Old enough to bleed, old enough to breed. What I read into that is that as soon as a girls body is ready to have children (at age 13 in most cases) the girl will start to experiment with sexual activities. The only thing we can do is to inform them of the possible consequences when they do it in an unsafe manner. If only closed minds would come with closed mouths.

I know that. jschell wrote: The proposed law would have restricted it as you are stating. I also know that. GenJerDan was commenting on the fact that although the proposed regulation would permit children to work on farms owned or operated by their parents, they would not be allowed to work on farms owned or operated by Grandpa, or Uncle Bill, next door. Hence my comment, which was to GenJerDan's post, and hence, to the point. My own view was: IMHO, if the kid is capable of the work, they should be allowed to do it. Only one caveat: Safety Training. Which, strangely, is the route the administration appears to be adopting. All that is necessary for Evil to succeed is for Good Folks to keep voting for their Party. - Cornelius Thirp

    My problem with this DRM stuff is that it only punishes the honest customers. They have to jump through all kinds of loops and have to live with various restrictions while the dishonest ones have their ways of removing the DRM. To add insult to injury, the honest customer also has to pay the bill for those totally ineffective protection mechanisms. Unfortunately too many people prefer to be treated like fools as long as they get the next new thingie quickly enough. All it would take would be to completely ignore one of the publishers who went a little too far. Let their stuff collect dust in the shelves and watch how they get more desperate with every day and the others quickly let their great ideas disappear before they get the same treatment. Companies are like dogs. The snarl at you, they try to find out how far they can go and quickly become tame when they notice they have gone too far.

    I'm beginning to find it humorous that you spend as much time as you do debating because you can't see things that are implied and/or get hung up on a detail that was trivial to the actual point. If it moves, compile it
