Get rid of the web entirely OR get rid of everyone on earth

Just a note, but NAB has made an effort to get every who has lost money due to the glitch compensation. No one, or very few should lose money due to the glitch. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/business/nab-cash-woes-all-weekend/story-e6frfh4f-1225961904137 "The bank also said it won't leave customers out of pocket through any penalties as a result of the technical glitch."

Maybe so, but it will probably work, to an extent. If the government can stop the mass media from reporting anything from wikileaks, most people won't find out. Of course most people will have heard about the new leaks, but unless it comes on tv or in the paper, most people probably won't bother to go through the information and find out what's what. If the government let the media do what they please, the media would build up to the leaks, then give nice and easy to understand summaries of the leaks letting people get the leaks without them having to do anything they wouldn't usually do. Without the media, by the time the leaks actually come out, a lot of people will have forgotten about them. Of course it also makes the government look bad, but no worse than we already knew they were.

Yes, yes minecraft looks boring with it's shifty graphics and seemingly limited possibilities, but really it isn't. I've had tons of fun with it and still playing. I would definitely recommend it :)

Recently North Korea has accused South Korea of attacking first. To me the whole thing kinda makes North Korea sound like a young child without enough attention. Just a child with bombs and military.

I don't really see how this is like the Cold War. That would involve Soviet Russia. Seems to be closer to terrorism. Cyber terrorism...I think I've heard that one before...

I'm not exactly an adult, so I don't know how long I'm going to use them. However, I would recommend anything that let's them build stuff. e.g.Lego is always good :) Don't know for sure, but I think it can also be good to get them a fancy kit or two that uses fairly regular blocks, just so that they can see how easy it is to build something with those blocks themselves. Then get a large amount of various regular blocks. It's best though if you decide on a single main type of building material to use (for larger constructions). Only thing necessary is plenty of ideas. Good luck =D
