You would think that they'd have an editor give a piece like that a once-over before publishing it. Why the hell do people use apostrophies to denote pluralization?
Since I live on a college campus there's really no reason for them to be calling.
Unless, of course, your school is like mine and sells your contact info to marketers. Their defense is that it's public information, and that they only charge for it because of some mysterious cost to package the data on some 25,000 students and dish it out to companies, but that's crap. Which is why I went in every fall and signed up to make my information not publically available. Didn't receive one piece of junk mail or telemarketer phone call afterwards. My roommates, though... that's another story.
I'm glad to see the guy fired as quickly as he was. As a photographer, I personally find this kind of action dispicable and unacceptable. Hopefully other editors will follow suit in the future, further deterring this sort of practice.
I saw that site about a month back, and while I'd never fork over the dough to buy one of the guy's sabers, it'd be damn cool to have one of them.
But I agree that they need to be made functional. Maybe, for the avid fans who might be willing to spend a little more, the sabers could be made out of that nifty new transparent aluminum?
This type of occurance should be expected. All chip manufacturers have had their own setbacks. Just because Crusoe is putting out chips that are parts of some damn cool gadgets that everyone wants doesn't mean they aren't vulnerable to the occasional flaw.

But do you think if it were setup as a server, it could survive a slashdotting? :)

It's probably due to conversion of English numbers to metric.
I can't believe www.whatthedeuce.com hasn't been registered.
Am I the only one looking forward to the James Cameron-less T3?
Hahaha! Just kidding.

Maybe they just want another way to monitor the public in the UK.
yeah, but this one is a lot more colorful.
giddey-up!
...not 20th.
When cloning becomes common practice, I want my very own clone of Cindy Crawford.
I'm pretty sure I saw this teaser last fall.

(yes, that is my question)
Apparently by spelling it 'RAMUS' they're implying 'ram us' as in 'God forbid we make a spelling error.'
Oh joy.
Cheese, damnit!
