A support band for Madness. To call them crap would be an insult to all the genuinely crap bands out there. They went through crap and came out the other side. Then they went through whatever level of shitness that was and came out the other side. I don't think anyone applauded them, except when they stopped making whatever ungodly racket they were making and went offstage. I've never been more relieved to hear a bunch of unmusical talent-free potty-mouthed morons finally STFU.

Your rights as an adult are that you now get to make your own rules and everyone else has to respect them. But the flipside of that is that you also have to respect everyone else's rules, especially those of a homeowner.

That homeowner might have rules about whether or not you can wear shoes inside, or whether you can smoke inside, etc. When you own your own place you get to make rules like this yourself, and you will be within your rights to expect your visitors, tenants and offspring to abide by them.

If for example you make a rule that says "Don't tell strangers my address" then you would be right to expect your children to abide by that rule.

This is your mom's rule and you have to abide by it. Tell your dates to pick you up and drop you off somewhere nearby without giving away your home address, and when you want to invite them home you need your mom's agreement first, because it's her house and her rules.

BTW the "I want it my way!" attitude is that of a kid not an adult. Grown-ups make agreements and stick to them. If you want different rules you can try to negotiate with her, but you have to accept if she won't change them. There are good reasons for not letting unknown people know your address.

Probably significantly fewer. Here in the UK someone's salary is about half of what it costs a business to employ them. It might be more than that in the USA but there will be other non-salary costs per employee.

No, just a Cory Doctorow. Didn't you hear they now come in six-packs?

Or perhaps it's a level of intelligence beyond your limited comprehension.

Yes, and it took less than a minute of googling to find "I'm paying, why do I still see ads?". There's also someone in this thread complaining of the same.

Yes, because Windows doesn't run on a C64.
