Re: Also, Ethernet sockets & USB ports...

In the early mid '90s I worked at a computer place that I will only refer to as "Chinaman Joe's PC Emporium" to protect the guilty. One day we got a PC in for warranty repair for a defective floppy drive. Sure enough, we could not insert a disc. After removing the drive from the computer, we decided to take it apart to see what broke. Upon removing the cover we saw a gray plastic gear sitting in the middle of the drive, completely unconnected to any sort of geary mechanism. As we stood there contemplating this paragon of malfunction our Chinese coworker came by, looked at the whole thing and exclaimed "Rego! My kid pray with that!" We turned the gear over and, sure enough, it said Lego.

Re: Maybe 13 is the problem

"Why is online safety not part of the curriculum from the first day of school?"

Several years of pointing out the stupidity of giving all one's personal information to a socially maladjusted man-child so he can give that information to faceless corporations so they can try to sell you stuff you don't want or need is how we raised a teenager with no interest in Facebook.

Yep, they're preparing for everything except the thing that'll get 'em. My guess is that it will be some now, wonder food additive that will be found (too late, of course) to turn everything solid in the human body to liquid. Those of us who try to avoid weird ingredients will suffocate from the stench.
