"By now you have likely read about the 'alien life forms' discovered in the upper atmosphere over Yorkshire, via the mass media reprinting a press release from the University of Sheffield.

Comment Re:It helps AMD fanboys feel better about themselv (Score 1) 148

I have tried a small handful of ATI/AMD cards over the years and have never had good results. Performance in Windows was always mediocre and I had massive stability or features not working on Linux. I will admit my last attempt was several years ago (less than 4 though). I'm not talking about embedded or mobile chipsets either, but dedicated AGP or PCIe.

(before you go all AMD fanboy on me (I'm hoping you wouldn't but just in case), I should mention I've been using AMD processors since I abandoned my old Pentium 3 back in the day, and my first few processors were cyrix)

I think you might be underestimating how much of a liability this could be on a child in 10-15 years. Think about those folks who "don't know nothing about those computers" - it's only going to get worse. Would you want to force that on your progeny just to make your job as a parent easier?

Now I'm not trying to trivialize physical or emotional abuse - don't get me wrong. I would argue this is intellectual abuse however, and it all falls under the same "abuse" umbrella.
