Comment Re:Placing children on the wrong bus? (Score 2, Insightful) 1092

While I would give the same advice, let's not forget that ultimately the child's safety comes down to one or two people: the parents. They will be the ones who will suffer the most if something bad happens to their child. So, the OP doesn't trust his school system to get his daughter on the right bus and wants to take extra precautions. I don't blame him for that. Some of us would react differently, but to each his own. I would probably change school districts. If that isn't an option move to a new town or city. If that isn't an option, go to every school board meeting until everyone is aware how serious you are about your child's safety, and the other children in the district. Bad things could have happened if the daughter had been dropped off in a completely foreign location and tried to find her own home, or panicked, etc. So maybe this parent isn't so over-the-top in his decision on how to protect his child.

How about the obvious? Sometimes, babies need to eat wherever they are, regardless of social setting. No one NEEDS to have sex at any particular time. And, I'll add that if you think watching a couple have sex is as equally disconcerting as a mother breastfeeding, you may want to move to the nearest monastery. Nothing there should ever disconcert you.

Submission + - I Am Legend: Will Smith (blogspot.com)

RalphLong writes: "This fresh look to a classic book that has been made into a movie is just that, our kids generation of computer generated graphics so all that is not real can be seen on the big screen. Will Smith does a stunning job of bringing his character to life on the big screen and gives us a desired hope for the last man of the human race. He does an outstanding job of holding the attention of the audience, in a single actor movie that we have not scene since Tom Hanks in Castaway."

Submission + - Street Fighter 4 Early Images and a Blogger's Role (popzara.com)

Bonewalker writes: Over at Popzara.com there is an interesting exclusive interview with Douglas Pereira, the blogger who initially released images from the upcoming Capcom title Street Fighter 4. Apparently, EGM, owned by Ziff-Davis, wasn't too happy about that because they were supposed to launch the initial unveiling and accompanying imagery. Needless to say, Mr. Pereira doesn't divulge his source(s), but it is interesting to note the knee-jerk reaction by EGM editor-in-chief Dan Hsu, claiming that Mr. Pereira must have hacked his way in or used an old password to ftp in and steal the images. Here is the initial story with the images in question.

Submission + - University of Kansas will not forward RIAA letters

Bonewalker writes: Looks like the University of Kansas may not be as pro-RIAA (or anti-student) as initially assumed last week from this recent Slashdot story. Of course, this doesn't make that "one-strike" policy any less flawed, but it shows that they aren't simply throwing their students under the RIAA bus, as one poster put it. As an alum, I am happy to see this. I wonder if they needed to get a story like this out to help combat the backlash and stigma from that previous article, though?
