    Recommend me a book, thankyou!

    OK - how about Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. It's set in various times and places, including the Pacific Theater during World War II, in England. Lots of interesting characters and some hero - type computer geeks.

    "You have entered an invalid birthday."

    I enabled the COPPA registration. There is a law about protecting under 13 users and it requires verified parental consent to participate online. So... what this really means is that if you never entered a birthdate in your profile when you registered and you update your profile info, you...
