If you're really planning on doing conduit (as opposed to just cable trays or whatever they are called), then make sure there aren't any weird turns in it.
That will screw up an installer's day right there..../hacked through a conduit once because of an S-shaped curve in the ceiling above the telecomm room.
Thanks for the replies - and, no, the Sony server hacks hadn't slipped my mind. They just don't apply to me. I'm not opposed to fun, I'm just not seeing how I could justify spending gobs of money on it (however, I suppose in a few more years my boys will be gaming and I'll have a reason) and so I don't really follow the scene.
It had totally slipped my mind that online games charge monthly fees (I'm slow this morning).
Oh, sorry, let me add this: I'm not trolling, I really don't know - so if anyone can point me to something (outside of really obvious "your server got hacked and now all of Slouchistan is using my credit cards")
Outside of the game causing your console to overheat and burn down your house, why would anyone sue a game manufacturer? Outside of the Atari 7800 Impossible Mission fiasco, I've never even been all that upset with a game.
Am I missing something? I probably am, since I also miss why adults sink so much money into games. Don't you people have children? Don't you drink?
When you write a headline and you're trying to be "hip" by using "buzzwords", please try to put them in the order in which they are actually relevant to what's going on.
I had to read this one twice to figure out it wasn't about "crowdsourcing", or "evolution", but rather about the fact that "3-D Printable Objects are Evolving faster thanks to Crowdsourcing"./pedant
Down here in good ole' South Cackalack (lack, as in, we ain't got nothing) last year, people through on good ole' hizzy fit over the Charleston County School System wanting to buy sumthin' like 20 of them iPads.
I shore do wish mah boys was being raised by one of them Communist Republics like Maine.
Everyone deserves respect. If you don't want to talk to someone, then you kindly but firmly state that you are busy and aren't available to talk right now. Or, if the person keeps pestering you, you firmly state that you don't want to talk to the person again, and then ignore him or her on future occasions.
Faking or arranging a cell phone call helps nobody. The person who is talking to you might not even know that you don't want to associate with him or her and would never learn otherwise. (S)he eventually ends up confused and feeling bad. Meanwhile, you keep wasting your time as the person continues to contact you about whatever problem you're putting off with these fake or arranged calls. It's just a sign of disrespect that you won't look the person in the eye and tell the truth.
First off, the entire notion of "six degrees of separation" is based on a study that was later partially discredited. Milgram's study was flawed in a number of ways, later described by Judith Kleinfeld and others.
Secondly, even assuming that the "six degrees" effect was accurate, using facebook is not the same as the initial experiment at all. Facebook is a radically different method of connecting people.
It's interesting that Duncan Watts is mentioned in the article but that he isn't allowed to actually expound on any of these issues. I mean, it isn't like he wrote a book on this topic or anything.
This is pop culture science posing as something else entirely.

That's an incredibly accurate way to describe the nonsensical way he ran that brand into the ground.
Makes you wonder how they'll handle the scene in the reboot.
If you were buying albums with 1 good song for every 5 bad ones, then yes, the local store's stoner's taste is probably better than yours.
Even though my Mac wouldn't play anything from the last bundle. /shakes fist at OS 10.4
But you know why....so why should they tell you? :P
It appears Google's Jedi mind tricks won't work on the US government.
That I've rebooted my cerebellum
Gonna get my PhD....
Recovered from lobotomy!

Yea, that last line about "outdated results" really beefs up your point, there.
Yea, gifs are totally dead.

$200k / 250 students is $800...why would you pay more for less?
Anyone mention this yet?

In the ICD-10 it's x:78 - Intentional self-harm by sharp object
Although I wonder if that applies to scarification...sounds more like just going all stabby-stabby.
ICD-9 had codes for masturbation.
Go ahead and think about why I might know that. Scar yourselves.
Thread over.
Maybe that's they were worth? If the executives were not satisfied with their compensation, they could have left.
That's what workers could do as well, except instead they engage in corporate sabotage aka, strike and try to extort the company.
HAHHAHHAHAHAAHAHAH!!HAHAHHAHHAHHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH!
Oh, wait. You're serious?
DIAF.
Will turning them *off* first help prevent this from happening?
And that is still wrong.

Lighten up, Francis.
but I have made certain that someone would call me at a certain time in order to extricate me from a situation.
