If you read ecology books printed in the 70s and 80s, they were absolutely convinced that whales and tigers would not survive the century. There's a whole plot in Star Trek about how whales are extinct actually. Here in Argentina, we were sure that yaguaretés would have gone extinct. It was thought that rainforests would be forever lost, because there was no way that such complex ecosystems would be restored.

If you wonder how this witchcraft is achieved:

disks are "hard sectored" more or less like older style hard disks and floppies were. This essentially turns the DVD-RAM disk into thousands of individually addressable "mini rewritable dvds"

The DVD drive can easily find the correct little bit of the disk to erase and overwrite.

This is how the disk can appear like any normal block device!

A really weird fact: DVD-RAM is predates DVD-RW or DVD+RW!

I would love to hear from parents who have set up a home network with parental controls for their kid's (kids') computer(s). I started digging but became immediately confused. Most pages I found assume a shared computer. I want to set up a computer for my ten-year-old daughter that I can monitor. Boosts very much welcome.
(If you want to come and tell me I'm horrible parent for even thinking about using parental controls, you can do that, and then I'll mute you.)
