Thanks for the link, big bruiser. Kind of an interesting lesson this week. Most people are hesitant to dig into the internals of their computer, so hopefully this'll encourage a few of them to grab a screwdriver and have at it. Given that all the jacks and cables are 1-way and different shapes, it's almost impossible to do something wrong and break anything, so why not have a go?
That story about the Soham killer was just amazing. You'd think they'd leave a big noose in his cell and tell him, "Now, don't touch anything!" and slam the door shut.
Regarding your question about what's SFW stateside, if it shows more than 1 square centimeter of skin between the neck and the knee, it's NSFW in America. On the Puritanical Scale, I believe it's Indonesia first, America second, and Victorian England third. America's the country where people protest because store mannequins are wearing lingerie! Oh, the horror! The shock! Quick, cover the childrens' eyes! The paradoxical thing about being an American is that you're either exceptionally proud or exceptionally embarrassed, subject depending. Or maybe that's true everywhere?
