What are you using your connection for?

If you're sending emails, then 300 is perfectly fine.

Turn based games would be fine. Real time games would be rough.

I just bought a hybrid car. When I drive, it shows me my current MPG, and when I get to my destination, it shows me the MPG for the trip. If I get over 35 MPG, I get a little "Excellent!" message that flashes.

It's not much, but I'm surprised at the effect this has had on my driving. I notice myself driving differently when I have this feedback.

Now imagine we all had cars that published (tweeted, for example) our total MPG, and some sort of public leaderboard/ranking system. I think that alone would change the way a lot of people drove, and save a lot of fuel.

He wouldn't actually sit down. He would stand next to the table.

Hmmm....

Holy crap. Control K. And here I was using my mouse like a sucker. Thank you!

Totally.

"I sort of hate having to tell him 'no' when he wants to explore a computer."

This set off a red flag in my head. Learning how to say no is important. Otherwise they'll walk all over you.

It was my first and last lesson in the subject.

This video exactly describes my situation:

I remember buying Ikari Warriors for the PC, way back in the day. The box had killer screenshots... the game looked exactly like the arcade game!

I loaded it up, and was met with horrific 4-color (white/black/cyan/magenta) graphics.

When I looked more closely at the box, it had small print that said something like "Arcade-version images shown. PC images may be different", or something to that effect.

I was pissed. :(

Touche.

On a certain Anonymous web image board, someone posted an image of a female rear end with a sharpie sticking out of it (aka "sharpie in the pooper").

Enterprising individuals examined the EXIF data on the picture, and saw that it was taken with an iPhone, including lat/long data. This was quickly plugged into Google maps, and all sorts of hilarity ensued.

Beware, indeed.
