...that was plugged on slashdot recently. It's very 80's-arcade style. I can't even tell that it's about emacs and vi (no, keep reading! seriously!) when I'm playing it.
What I do know is that it has a heavy metal soundtrack, explosions, wireframe graphics, spaceships, lasers, shit blowing up left and right, and MORE.
I haven't been able to get more than, like, a minute into the first level, but just playing it cracks me up. The geekiness of it (e.g. bumping into "kernel space" at the top of the screen) makes it funnier too.
C) It is quite possible, very common in fact, that unprinted yet books can be on order for a library and that their contents can be widely anticipated a priori.
As Walter Sobchak said, "for your information, the Supreme Court has roundly REJECTED prior restraint!"
I read Slashdot because it's a place where a comment about the British rule for placement of punctuation relative to quotation marks is modded "informative."

Remember to never split an infinitive. The passive voice should never
be used. Do not put statements in the negative form. Verbs have to
agree with their subjects. Proofread carefully to see if you words
out. If you reread your work, you can find on rereading a great deal
of repetition can be avoided by rereading and editing. A writer must
not shift your point of view. And don't start a sentence with a
conjunction. (Remember, too, a preposition is a terrible word to end a
sentence with.) Don't overuse exclamation marks!! Place pronouns as
close as possible, especially in long sentences, as of 10 or more
words, to their antecedents. Writing carefully, dangling participles
must be avoided. If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a
linking verb is. Take the bull by the hand and avoid mixing
metaphors. Avoid trendy locutions that sound flaky. Everyone should
be careful to use a singular pronoun with singular nouns in their
writing. Always pick on the correct idiom. The adverb always follows
the verb. Last but not least, avoid cliches like the plague; seek
viable alternatives.
And where does he get the 3k from? The same place that doesn't give him the 30k? Yes. MasterCard will give him 3k. It is the same place that will not give him 30k. The point is simply that 3k is much easier to come up with than is 10 - 25 times that amount. A student can work off $3,000 in a summer. He can't work off $30,000.
You have a point adding some debt to what is already a lot of debt. The problem is: whereas student loans are relatively easy to get, where is a student going to come up with $30,000 or more for a lawyer? Even if taking on that amount of debt is trivial to the student, he can't necessarily do it.

Up to what? I assume this is supposed to be a time. Also, these birds are awesome.
I would like one of the red-backlit keyboards they have in the control room pictures.

For what it's worth, you're correct. mfh's use of "post hoc ergo propter hoc" is misplaced and incorrect. Why can't people just say "Oh, my bad."?
Oh, that's right. It's the internet.
I mean, it took 15 years to reach 1.0, maybe with this development we'll be at 2.0 by, like, next month.
Yay, anecdotal evidence thread!
Where can I find parts/info on convection cooling a PC or server?

This is fantastic.

No, I came here to ask this very question. If the joke's on you, then it's on me as well. What is the meaning of the "signed" tag?
Usually the problem is too little ram for the processor speed - this sure turns that on its head.
Search for "cuil sucks" or "cuil is just spam and it sucks" (without the quotes) in both Google and cuil.

Seriously. It's actually pretty nice out there, or at least it was the few times I've had to go out.
Jesus, that flash video player is abhorrent. Doesn't work for shit for me.

Imagine standing next to a crowded street at rush hour, with all electric vehicles stopped at a red light. Total silence.
It won't happen, it's just a thought.
It would be quite eerie.
