Comment Re:After losing the carts and the cost of each gam (Score 1) 425

Exactly. I bought the DS for my daughter when she was 3 and have used it to teach her how to treat electronics. She's still got that DS, and it is in great shape. She also hasn't lost any of the games. I had to replace one stylus, but I actually don't think that was her fault. If you don't teach a child how to treat the things they care about, they won't ever learn. I've seen far too many people of all ages abuse their portable devices and then blame the devices for their failures.

Not sure what your specific requirements are, but for open source projects, you should at least consider SourceForge, Google Code, Fedora Hosted or another FOSS project host. SourceForge and Fedora Hosted can handle simple websites. These also give you the opportunity to give others the ability to take over maintenance, if you so desire.

Part of TFA focuses on the decompression. Thorough science (and the MythBusters episode) have shown that this is not an extreme danger. With a large enough hole, wind and other forces present far greater risk of dislodging passengers.

As for the health risks, I wonder if they even looked at the research and equipment behind HALO jumps. Obviously, folks aboard a passenger aircraft aren't going to be prepared and aren't going to have 'chutes, but some of the health concerns and physical dangers have been closely examined to ensure the safety of high-altitude insertions.

Also, "my guess" and "or something" aren't the kinds of things I would expect someone that had really considered the matter to be saying.
