Re: Yes, Passwords...but...

One thing to keep in mind when you're dealing with any information from kids under 13, in case you aren't already aware:

Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998

"The statute and rule apply to commercial Web sites and online services directed to, or that knowingly collect information from, children under 13. To inform parents of their information practices, these sites will be required to provide notice on the site and to parents about their policies with respect to the collection, use and disclosure of children's personal information. With certain statutory exceptions, sites will also have to obtain 'verifiable parental consent' before collecting, using or disclosing personal information from children."

It's a little unclear if your project is a specific school project or if it is for an Internet Web site. So, depending on your situation, just be careful.

If we have to make assumptions, let's assume that: "g'evening and g'day" points to Australia and not the US. And being in a time zone 8hrs later than me in LA points to Western Europe, probably UK since they're happy with colloquialisms in English (unless they didn't state their time zone when they set up their account :). So my assumption is a tired Australian in London crawling to bed just after 4am asking a bleary eyed question. But hey, that's just an assumption too. You may be eager for the 'World Government' to become a reality, but 'til then, let's not jump the gun :) cLive ;-) ps - IANAL (I Am Not A Lamellibranch) - most of the time...	[reply]

NorCal Developer who GET'S UP at 4:00AM, blearly-eye'd from 4 hours round trip to Monterey, driving in South Bay Traffic from a 6 hour meeting. Asking question before falling into bed.
