Makes you wonder if those fields have such a high percentage of atheists because
1) the knowledge the fields bestow makes people into unbelievers, or 2) those fields are less likely to attract unbelievers who don't want their beliefs challenged.
That's pretty typical of post-revolutionary societies, really, and pretty good for that class. Lots of them forget their revolutionary principles within a generation.

Indulge me while I try to get into the headspace of the audiophool who'd buy such a cable.
I'd assume that such a creature would have a dirty great line conditioner plugged into his mains (thus removing the "problem" from the high-voltage lines), and then he'd plug the $7k power cable into the conditioner, and then the device into his overpriced cable, and let his mental condition do the rest.
Based on the rather "premium"-sounding description, and that b&m stores typically have an insane markup on their cables, no. I could perhaps believe it being a $109.50 cable, and even the stated price is believable if you take hardcore audiophools into account.
How do you think your precious Soviet Union would have done if the western allies (the US and UK) hadn't kept it supplied with war materiel, hadn't fought the Battle of the Atlantic, had left it entirely to Hitler's tender mercies?
Blind adherence to nationalism cuts both ways, pal.
I'm coming at it from the angle of it giving too much power to the executive: the constitution give Congress the power to declare war, full stop, and the president should on no account start a shooting war with someone else without congressional approval.
It's partly because they have to pay so much more in healthcare and pay than Japanese companies, so they aren't cost-competitive without cutting corners.
I'm not anti-union, quite the opposite, but I'm necessarily in favor of how they operate.

You'll want to lock them down like that if you're just doing a typing class, or a beginning programming course. If you're doing something more advanced then you might want to back off the security a bit.
Some of the students will have ideas, but only a few of them will be good, and most of the students won't even have that.
Good suggestions otherwise, though... but I'm not sure what you expect them to learn from Slashdot, other than that editing and fact-checking are unimportant.
I doubt they'd take asthmatics, myopics, or those without binocular vision, much as I'd love to.

Don't know about you, but I don't think most people want to hear fans running at full tilt.
You too are invited to get a job at Intel. Or, you know, maybe it's not so simple as you think to keep a high-wattage CPU cool.

I'll tell you the same as the other guy, but with less snark since you're not being a dick: if you can do a better job at cooling ~150W than Intel, by all means apply for a job there.

You seem to have a serious case of the gays for me, so let's save you some time: I'm happily heterosexual.

Och aye? You might want to look for a job at Intel. They couldn't find a good way to deal with 150W or so from the late Pentium 4s, so your genius should find a well-paying job there.

Nae true Scotsman!
You're throwing a lot of assertions my way. Lots of assertions. No backup.
Or I could go into a trailer park and end up with a different result. Did you have a point besides "lol niggers"?

Very brave of you to post this anonymously. I bet you're a poor middle-aged chickenshit living in a trailer with your parents.

That's typical of the submitter, though; he's full of fringe political opinions.

That would be an affront to the Free Market (pbui).

Money.
Makes you wonder where we'd be if Kennedy and Johnson hadn't gotten us into Vietnam and all the money that cost.

s/union member/nigger/ and you're proving the parent's point.
We warned you people that Bush's grubbing for power would come back and bite us in the ass later on. Once power is gained, it is seldom let go of.
We warned you that the War Powers Act is unconstitutional.
Eisenhower warned us about the military-industrial complex.
When will enough people listen and act?

Absolutely. Use security screws on the cases, and use cables to secure the desktops, monitors, etc. to something immobile.
Depending on your plans for the course, you might want to disable the USB ports and optical drives, and look into software like Deepfreeze.
