Right now, you have to guess which time zone they're talking about
Or ask, which is what any sensible person would do.

I'm sure I'd like having access to some kind of sandboxed Internet service where they could access Sesame Street and Disney stuff (and whatever else) without risk of stumbling across porn.
K9 (and likely most other internet filtering software) have whitelist filtering so that the only internet accessible to the person on that account are the sites on the list. It's a bit annoying to configure and requires a few days to fine tune, but most of the filters are designed to be simple enough for none computer savvy people to use.
It looks like they're trying to advert their emergency preparedness campaign, and this is a great creative way to do it.
In one report on this, commentators hypothesized that it was because most (all?) of the titles that were removed had a story (or side story) where at least one of the partners were underage, so it really may be a child porn thing.
The 13 limit has to do with COPPA, so even if Facebook wanted to allow under 13s it can't legally without the guardian's permission.
Speaking of children's books, while they do generally give an age range, there are a number that cover topics that often get certain types of parents or 'interested adults' up in a snit.
So those parents should google the book they plan to give their child, or at the least skim it in the store, as the only books that come in plastic wrap are porn and manga (which has age ratings and a breakdown of the content/reason for the rating). Every parent I know who really cares about what their kid reads makes a deal with their child that the parent will read the book first and if it's ok, than the kid gets it (and yes, most of these people's kids bypass this censorship in one way or another-oh the wonders of the library).
So to answer your question, I'd support voluntary ratings for books - but not mandatory ones.
There essentially are, or at least if you look at hardcover children's books, many of them do give an age range on the front book flap. Also, children's books tend to be separated into age categories in the actual book store. The only category that seems to not be differentiated (though I'm starting to see it) is the teen section, but I think that's also 'cause publishers tend to lump all teens (from 13 to 19) into the same broad category.
Technically, so long as you cite the exact revision of the wikipage you're using (using the link from the history) and the page you're using is well cited, it's not a terrible source. The most basic problem with using wiki as a source is the same problem with using any encyclopedia or textbook as a source-it's a tertiary source and therefore a compilation of (often uncited, though that's not the case with wiki) primary and secondary sources rather than original work.
I think he just hasn't been exposed to much math and science above a high school (and sometimes undergrad) level, which *shock, horror, gasp* is to be expected of a high schooler, even one who's done some cool work and has the potential to do some really cool work in the field. I don't see the problem with saying celebrating achievements in science or math, especially considering that we readily celebrate achievements in the arts.
The screen, CPU and system board are often FRUs too, and the assembly instructions are even in the manual (which could be better, but at least exists). You can pretty much do a full gut/rebuild if you're inclined to (or like me and like your thinkpad tablet and don't much like the other options on the market.)
I doubt I'd ever go to even the minimal trouble just for more space. I'd just wait until it was time for a new machine.
Or buy a portable for the things that were taking up piles of space (pics, vids, etc) that I really don't need to carry around all the time anyway. I'm not even all that squeamish about taking apart my laptop (just replace the fan actually, which as the video illustrates is quite a process) and I've got thinkpad with a pullout drive, but it's not worth the cost or hassle of transferring things from one hd to another.
I run vista and I'm installing it right now, using windows update. I think the summary's just bad or people focused on XP 'cause so many of the attacks are geared towards it (the computers at my school get infected all the time through USBs).
Planned Parenthood doesn't use government funds for many of the abortions it performs as it can't per the Hyde Amendment.
Side C: It's a human, but the killing is still justified for any number of reasons. mother>child and all that.
*shrugs* that's the approach my religion takes, that it's murder in self-defense*-which makes abortion a mix of a civil liberties issue and a redefining legally allowable murder issue.
And I'm sure that there's a Side D and E and F and
*self-defense from psychological trauma and the like too, so not limited to mother's life.
I build a lot of the libraries I use from source and use a lot of the dev versions, so I end up at sourceforge a decent amount of time. Actually, considering that two of the biggest python libraries are hosted on sourceforge (scipy/numpy) and I really need to update my local versions, this even kind of affects me.
