That sounds almost identical to my situation. My C programming class (Syracuse University) is taught by a woman with a very heavy accent. This alone does not make her a worse teacher. She cannot teach. Her lecture notes are given so fast it's virtually impossible to write them down (and I write very quickly). Her handwriting is an illegible scrawl. She does not know how to focus the overhead projector. Our lecture (4 weeks into the class) is just now getting around to If-Then statements. 4 out of 5 questions relating to the subject will be answered with "I don't know". The TA's are no better. The TA for my lab session needed a reminder from the students how to compile and execute programs. The Head TA for the class cannot seem to figure out how to send an e-mail (Each week we get 8-10 e-mails from him, most are exactly the same).
UScan? I thought those were those things in the grocery store that let a person scan and bag their own items, rather than waiting for a cashier. (Yes, you still have to pay) Or is that a different UScan?
I wonder if you could find some way to attach a:;::Cue:Ca:t to one of these. Set up a maze, but instead of using touch sensors, have a barcode along the bottom. When it scans barcode A, it would go left, Barcode B to go right, C to go back, etc.
I watched part of THX-1138. I did not like it. The camerawork was reminiscent of the Blair Witch Project, and the plot was not really developed that well. There is only one major character. Granted, the character development on the major character is wonderful, something that if Jar Jar is going to stick around, needs to have happen.
Another Lucas film, American Graffiti (his first film) was, pretty much lacked a plot. However, some of the camera angles and underlying messages were pretty cool.

Except that you can get 2 pounds for $3.20 and each additional pound is $1.10 (up to 5 lbs.) After 5 lbs. it gets really screwey, with zone-based rates.
Also, generally, an envelope with a single letter in it weighs roughly.5 ounces. With 16 ounces to a pound, it would be roughly 32 letters.

There's a reason that it's known as Ameridrech or Ameritrash.
Personally, when I had DSL installed at home, Ameritrash missed their first loop date. They didn't bother to respond to the ISP's requests to set a new date. They eventually came out and installed the loop, but didn't bother to tell anyone about it. The only way I found out was that my neighbor said "Have you been having phone problems? There was an Ameritech guy out here doing something to your box today" I went out, looked at the box, and sure enough one of the circuits was tagged "Covad" I called my ISP (speakeasy) and within 2 days they were out to install (it was a Saturday too). Since then, no problems.

I remember reading somewhere that if someone mails you something that you didn't order/request, than it can, under U.S. Postal Law, be considered a gift to you.
That was Airplane! 2 - The Sequel. The original Airplane! had Captain Clarence Over and Roger Murdock, and Victor (lastname?)4 The exchange went something like this:
Tower: "You have clearance Clarence"
Over: "Roger. Clarence has Clearance"
Murdock: "Huh?"
Over: "Ok, Roger"
Murdock: "What's the vector Victor?"

Right now, the ad that is displayed on my AIM is for ADP, a payroll service. I'm FAIRLY certain that ADP is not an AOL service. Since AOL does not seem to be the type of company who would give something away, I would guess that ADP has given them some money to have that ad there. So, AOL is getting direct revenue from these ads.
The campus police at the State University that I'm most familiar with are actually deputies of the local County Sherriff's office that are given new uniforms. The University pays to rent the employees from the Sherriff's department, but I don't believe they're actually employees of the University.
I may be misremembering here, but isn't M-Net/Arbornet a part of the lawsuit to overturn some Michigan law about Online Protection or something?
Isn't it slightly wrong to be suing the state and asking for assistance from them at the same time? Or is it two totally unreleated issues? (I admit my ignorance here, don't remember any of the details of the lawsuit, just remembered seeing it on/. a while ago)

You will never have a trigger with no dead zones. It's a conspiracy.
Less seriously though, why do you play triggers? You'd never have triggering problems if you just played accoustics.
