Sex video: What's wrong with youths?

What disturbs me in 'Student in sex video: 'We didn't intend to be porn stars' (ST, Feb 24) is the remark by the female student: 'I have done nothing wrong... Everyone does it.'

I've followed the articles about youths these days. They are more exposed to technology and the new age. The problem lies not in the tools of technology but the very basic value system of today's youths.

I am disturbed to know that the value system in youths has not improved. I am not sure if we should blame society, parents, schools or peer pressure for making youths what they are today.

They think in a very different way that's influenced by many factors. I wonder if the youths are equipped to handle the many problems of today's world.

My five-year-old son is able to argue with me issues I find difficult. He said exactly the same thing: 'I have done nothing wrong. Everyone does it.'

I tell him that even if the whole world is rude, he does not have to be. As a Christian, I refer to the Ten Commandments and prick the conscience, mine and his, and explore what is right and wrong.

I tell him that when he does something, he has to think of the consequences and learn about responsibility. I believe I have an important role to equip him for the challenges ahead.

As the book 'Parenting with Love and Logic' by Foster Cline and Jim Fay puts it: 'Children who grow in responsibility also grow in self-esteem - a prerequisite for achievement in the real world. As self-esteem and self-confidence grow, children are better able to make it once the parental ties are cut.

'Let's love them enough to allow them to learn the necessary and crucial skill of responsible thinking and living.'

Who pays for service via Malaysian network?

I am a StarHub subscriber and I have a problem faced by all mobile phone owners.

When I was in Pulau Ubin or Changi Village, I had to answer incoming calls and SMS. When I switched on my phone, I noticed 'DIGI' or 'CELCOM' which meant that I was using signals from the Malaysian service provider.

Though I am in Singapore, I am compelled to use the Malaysian service. In such a case, who pays for the service provided by DIGI and CELCOM? If it's me, do I pay the local or overseas rates?

I hope StarHub can enlighten me. How can I avoid using the Malaysian service when I'm in Singapore?

1. The sound quality isn't very good. Kelly Clarkson did not sound like herself. There were some tones the player could not reproduce. It was not due to the earphones, because I tried using my Panasonic earphones with the same results. Compared to my old Panasonic, the sound quality of the Nano Plus was pretty horrible.
2. Once again, there's a problem with the shuffle play function. When you first start playing, the first few songs would be random, then you'd get a chunk of tracks which are always the same, in the same order. After this chunk, the tracks would be random again. This really pissed me off. This means I need to manually skip a huge chunk of tracks everytime I turn it on.

1. The Zen uses a regular AAA battery. The iPod uses a non-user serviceable battery.
2. The iPod doesn't have FM reception.
3. The iPod's freaking expensive!
4. The iPod scratches easily.
5. The boss of Creative is from Singapore, and he attended the same polytechnic as me.

A 41-year-old businessman was shot dead early Wednesday morning in his flat in Serangoon.

When police arrived at about 7.10am at Block 223, Serangoon Avenue 4, they found the man lying face down and bleeding on the floor of the study room.

Police say a man, armed with a gun, had entered the flat at about 6.55am.

The victim's wife, teenage daughter and the maid were tied up and the house was ransacked.

A few shots were heard and the man then ran out of the flat.

A manhunt is currently ongoing for the suspect who is believed to be a Chinese man in his late 30s to 40s.

He has been described as being plump and about 1.7 metres tall, and was last seen wearing a black round necked T-shirt, black pants and black shoes.

He also had a black cap and appeared to be blind in his right eye.

Police add that he had fled the house carrying a blue denim handbag believed to contain cash and jewellery taken from the flat.

The police have advised members of the public not to approach the suspect as he may be dangerous. - CNA/ir

"Historically, subnets composed of all ones or all zeros were reserved. Therefore the minimum number of subnet bits allowed was two, which allotted for two usable subnets (01 and 10 in binary, subnets 1 and 2 in decimal) and two reserved subnet addresses (00 and 11 in binary, subnets 0 and 3 in decimal). However, RFC 1878 abolished this practice because the reserved subnets were generally not being used for any special purpose and was considered wasteful. Thus the minimum number of subnet bits is now one, allowing for two usable subnets (0 and 1 in binary, and decimal). This info can be helpful for students preparing for the MCSE 70-216 exam."

"He shouldn't have wore purple. No good comes from wearing purple. Just ask Tinky-Winky."

"Oh my God! Is that Tatanka!? He still looks the same! [I told her that the last time he was on TV, he had a pot-belly. But he's lost most of it now.] Oh yeah, you're right. He looks fatter. I wonder why he doesn't do the (war)dance anymore. No wait! I know! It's because he'd jiggle too much!"

1. After clicking "DONE", your pictures don't show up in your Post Editor.
2. The above problem tends to happen more if I upload multiple images. It happens less when I upload a single image, one at a time.
3. Would the pictures you've upload successfully appear in the Post Editor (the code generated shows up) under "Edit HTML", but when you look at the "Compose" tab, all you see is one red "X"?
4. It seems that you have have a maximum of 35 images per post. Beyond that, the image won't show up.
