I did have high hopes for this: Sony RM-KZ1 Universal Children's Remote Control[^] Even the features looked good:
Kid-tested, mother approved
Worry free parental control
Built for kids
Volume limiting functionBut then I realised: it was a remote control for children, not a remote control of children. :sigh: Pause. Mute. That's all I ask - though "rewind" would be handy.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

In the interests of internet bandwidth reduction, perhaps this should be added as an extension for HTTP. The returned error code would be in the 4XX range. Older servers could implement similar functionality at the back end by returning either 426 UPGRADE REQUIRED or 428 PRECONDITION REQUIRED. If no one else will volunteer to write the RFC, I'll try to get it done with a target date of 1-Apr-2016.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

I'm not talking to you, ever since you tweeted about Twenty the other week I've had a lot less time to do life.

Just stalked you both on Twitter after reading this - I'm guessing you voted Labour last general election.

Just been reading through my tweets, mostly retweeting funny stuff and about Derby, forgot about the UKIP photoshops. The UKIP candidate was the only one of them I actually liked, and I'm going to his 70th birthday party on Sunday cos I've known him a long, long time. I'm just pleased that he failed so miserably. Politically my views are Bill & Tedian - be excellent to each other.

Pub Landlord if I remember rightly - you can't hate them.
Yep, even if he is a Blues fan. My mum and dad are thinking of taking my brother's 7 year old to Portsmouth for a few days to take in the Carling Cup match in August. Not sure what the poor little sod has done to deserve that.

So what's your best score? Mine is 7 twenties.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

Mine too. Just the once, got 6 a couple of times. I find it a lot easier on the computer with a mouse than on my phone, best score with the app and touchscreen is 4 twenties, just the once, and a few 3s. Installed it on my dad's (mum's really) tablet a week ago and he keeps texting me every few days when he gets to a new number. Last one was "have now reached 18 a horrible salmon pink colour" 2 days ago so expecting him to get a 19 any time now.

I've reached Twenty x 10. ;P Time well spent. (I have a screenie, but since it's HTML5, that's kinda moot.) The trick is to build 3 towers, on the left/right/center, and move all the joined-together ones on top of the towers. And just play it endlessly whenever you're not sure of some code, with some music like Ayreon's The Human Equation.
