When it comes to sex, tech and teens don't make the best bedfellows. As tech-savvy teens become increasingly fluent with new technology, from social networking sites to tricked-out new cell phones, research finds the negative consequences stacking up.

According to the results of a survey released today by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy and CosmoGirl.com, 22 percent of all teen girls — and 11 percent of teen girls ages 13-16 years old — say they have electronically sent, or posted online, nude or semi-nude images of themselves.

And these racy images are also getting passed around: One-third (33 percent) of teen boys and one-quarter (25 percent) of teen girls say they have had nude/semi-nude images — originally meant to be private — shared with them.

That’s how bad it is! LOL

Hey, it’s how I stop unwanted calls on my cellphone. Works every time.

You said — “That said, I will never let a hard drive leave my possession again.”

Ummmm..., do you have an oxyacetylene torch? That should work... LOL..

It is amazing what they can recover even from a warped drive.

I think you misunderstand. A bearing heater is a tool used in machine shops to heat bearings. It doesn't work by burning gas or with an electrical heating element. Heat is generated when the atoms in a metal are moving a lot. A bearing heater causes the atoms in a bearing to move quickly (thus heating the bearing) by exposing it to an *extremely* powerful oscillating electromagnetic field.

This oscillating magnetic field would scramble the disk platters faster than you could say s**t. Exposing the disk for several minutes would make data recovery hopeless.

If you did that — it would end up just about 100% secure no matter what... LOL...

Many of today’s teens view sexual activity as being with on par with getting a hamburger and fries.

Tenns generally only do one half of a cost/benefit analysis.

What I know and have seen would curl your hair... LOL...

If it would grow me some hair, do tell!

P.S. If the pic also shows her, uh, “interacting” with Bill, I’ll double the offer.

If "interacting" includes lamp throwing, start writing the check.
