Weapon types that aren't allowed in the normal class include electricity and electromagnetic weapons (no EMP or Tesla coils), weapons that require significant cleanup (sand, oil, liquids, ball bearings), weapons intended to obscure vision (smoke, strobe lights), thermal weapons (no explosives or cutting torches, although you can use explosives to, say, drive a piston), mechanism fouling weapons (nets, tarps, caltrops), and no mutually destructive mechanisms.
There are also restricted weapons. Projectiles are allowed, but must be on a tether of no more than 8' in length. Covering weapons are allowed, but must be rigid and controllable. Airbags are allowed, but must conform to the rules for pneumatics, and can't be used as mechanism fouling weapons when deflated. Flywheels need to be installed properly, so that they don't fly off or apart while spinning. Large springs (20 lbs of force to extend or compress) need to be armed by the bot, not manually, and need to be able to be released manually without causing damage to the person doing the releasing.
It could have been legitimate. Plenty of channels are making their shows available (for free) through their websites. Normally you have to wait a day, so this could have just been an aggressive marketing technique. Up until the lawyers came out, there's really no way of knowing if the whole thing was intentional or not.
If you don't know that you were the target of an improper phone tap, I agree. If you know or suspect that you have been phone-tapped, there's almost certainly going to be some evidence of it, especially if it's still in place. At that point, you could probably show some attorney what you've got, and best odds are that it is going to be enough to start something.
Most of those are useful for peer review of your work. Once someone has created a creative work, they have become the least effective reviewer of that work, and additional eyeballs are going to be needed to make the essay or paper as effective as it can be. Now, I don't know whether or not tuition costs are weighted based on equipment costs, but even if they aren't, the university is a single entity, and using material-light classes to subsidize the material-heavy classes is a valid strategy. There are certainly going to be bottlenecks where the universities could become more effective, but in my experience, those are going to be the professors who have trouble adapting. I know I had more than a few "this is how I learned it, so this is how you're going to have to learn it" instructors, and I would say that this is without a doubt the biggest issue facing students.
Information is not the same as understanding. Besides that, there's something to be said for having someone else pay for some of the more expensive/dangerous equipment that you'll need to use, including, but not limited to, a wide variety of acids, oscilloscopes, software licenses, mass spectrometers, and all manner of other things. Even if you're the sort of person who can learn from the book without the teacher's help, the university still provides materials to you.
No, you have to prove you were the subject of an incorrect phone tap before you can collect damages, which typically happens after the legal action has started anyways. I wonder if you can bring a civil suit against the Feds if you're improperly tapped...
My grandmother used to leave the TV on for her dog. Back when I was younger and more obsessive, I also had some long video game sessions (12 hours straight on FFIX comes to mind most readily. My brother and I could easily go through a weekend (or summer vacation) with the TV turned on more than turned off.
I'm against universal health care, and I don't have health insurance. Yes, this does have the potential to screw me if I get hit by a car or something, but I'd rather that there's an incentive for only the best and brightest to become doctors. Universal health care has a tendency to lower the average skill of the doctors, and I can only see such a thing as being detrimental to society.
Preventing nuclear terror is easy, just invent a better and more easily accessible weapon for them to use. Home gene-splicing labs would probably do it.

This guy is going to kick ass in the experimental class.
The rules are here, if you don't mind pdfs.

It wasn't bad in WWII, from what I've heard.
Actually, my old high school had more cameras than the county jail did.

Aperture Science: We do what we must, because we can.
For the good of all of us, except the ones who are dead.
Even better, it could be just like the B Ark. I already have several candidates in mind.
Because you pissed off someone who has mod points, and now they're taking petty revenge?
Or undead creatures that never see the sun.
Yeah, it's the difference between just starting high school and post college. It's a fairly significant gap.

Except ceramics.
Also, the reaction puts off enough UV to ruin your eyes if you look directly at it.
No. CNTs are only strong in one direction, and you need at least two directions for a space elevator. If you tried, it would crumple or fall over.
Ian Malcom, is that you?
I'm sure they'll have gotten the hang of it after the first few virgins.
Keeps a cattle prod in his office.
OK, I'll bite. What part of Team Fortress 2 makes me unreasonable or abnormal?

He's making sure that you understand that 'the past year' doesn't just include 2008, but also 2007.
