that parent almost got away with parenting their own child! Glad a nanny from the state was there to make sure that didn't happen.

You could just allow blanket access, require everyone using a connection to get MAC address filtered access (so you know every device requesting access) and then log everything. Then provide stipulations that any live chat or forum use is forbidden. Anything except reputable / academic sources is forbidden. To make it extra fun, tail the log of the access point live (projector?) and grep it through a few good regex to weed out junk and find any terms associated with IRC, forums, etc etc. Allow them to ask for white listing sources, or provide your own (allow wikipedia, but not the discussions on each page which can be used to carry out conversations, etc). Or just allow all net access but restrict access to just the sites you think are of use (wikipedia, specific journals, publisher's reference information, google for unit converting on the search bar, etc).

From all those americans that tried to prevent this from happening here, I'm sorry the disease spread to your shores. At least some of us are not brain dead. RonPaul2012.com

that was my second train of thought was harassment charges

But then if children watch porn on library computers, is the library liable for allowing access to age restricted content on their systems? If the man was viewing porn on a computer in a public place, then he could be thought of the same as showign porn mag to kids.... and that is pretty much a endangerment or Lude & Lascivious crime right there.

wow, finally a /. article that hits home for my state and industry. I was part of the supporters of 2 of Luna's 3 proposals this legislative year. This was the 1 proposal I was not in favor of. Partly because it shifted money out of the state for expensive gadgets / technology. And partly because teachers are already hampered enough as it is with idiotic curriculum dictated by district wide contracts with textbook grant related subsidies. Technology isn't by itself a magic bullet. The use of it and efficiency of how this plan is implemented will determine if this was forward thinking, or just pandering to a few computer makers looking for a big contract.

I just use the unix epoch + a randomized year + randomized month + randomized day for all DOB requirements. Why provide useful info?

Ron Paul baby. The only candidate not obsessed with policing your thoughts, your bedroom, your wallet, and your way of life.

Yes, HP's UI panel sucks on virtually all its printers. It would be vastly improved by using a webOS based display. If nothing else, it wouldnt' be ay worse.

The major media creators of the world (with the exception of animation house render farms) are all created on Windows or Mac. Until Linux gets THOSE applications in native form, then the content creators will not be using Linux. Everyone else may have a better shot as things transition to a browser based application stack with Google-everything. But my video NLE will not be on Linux any time soon, neither will my audio mastering be done on Linux. it is all about the application stack.

and that multiply circle is in the process of deciding what to do about G+

I know it is a PITA, but duplicating across pairs of hard drives is cheap per GB, and allows you to move the data to an offsite location / *SNL Al Gore Voice* lockbox. I have ~2TB of video project data that I store using this method.

CI was going to be my question as well, since I spend my time at work managing a multi-site Jenkins CI system for ~100 jobs.

When are they going to fix their CAPTCHA so that scammers can't get unlimited gmail accounts with which to flood my forum with bogus registrations?

well that might be cause for me to blow the dust off a reference book (or just hit up google) and try some c++ again... but it has been so long since I bothered with it.... 10years actually. but I'm also not in low level device control / OS level coding.
