I'm not a parent, but do you think that is acceptable behavior? (Regardless of the product, service, or situation.) I can't imagine wanting to be the teacher or classmate of said 11 year old if he/she is always "bitching

When I read the ASK HN headline, I immediately thought of stealing. Petty theft, that is. To make stealing a career, I imagine it would take a lot of work if you don't want to be caught - probably just as much as a legitimate job. I&

I wonder what happened to the tens of millions of kids that used to play Cowboys and Indians or Cops and Robbers... Today, instead of running around outside getting exercise and learning social interaction, they're all in their rooms o

You have a point. In the grand scheme of life, you are right. While I do volunteer to help others, I also like to occasionally do things for myself. That is what I was asking about. Interesting article too, thank you for sharing.

The problem is, the United States is tying its own hands by not allowing the development of newer, safer, more efficient nuclear power plants. If we could, we would be able to retire the older, not-as-safe, less-efficient nuclear power pla

Yes, because it's more economical and better for the environment to improve efficiency. There is a good correlation between economic efficiency and what's good for the environment. Right now it is more harmful to the environment

Indeed. I would have run CCleaner first and use IE (which I never use) to make sure they didn't get any new info out of me. The only thing they could get at that point is my IP address unless I went through a trusted VPN.
