That's why I have a Kensington USB mouse plugged in to my Macbook right now. I love my Mac, but the design on the Mighty Mouse is God Awful. Definitely a case of form before function.
I'm no engineer, but I'm assuming the current life-support modules will be left installed as a backup or failsafe. I would assume that removing the other life support systems would be a waste of time. Despite their more well known failures, NASA usually builds a backup for the backup of the backup system.
I love the Bonjour integration too. I just turned it on and all my network printers just show up. So much easier than getting the IPs from every machine individually and then plugging it into a browser just to access the printer's EWS.
After years and years of dedicated service a sysadmin is getting fired. He has one day to train his replacement. He says to the guy taking over his job "This is the only training I think you need. In the file cabinet there are 2 envelopes. The first time you get in trouble bad, open the envelope marked 1. If the crap hits the fan again, open the envelope marked 2. That should be all you need to know."
So months go by and the new guy does his job diligently, but as we all know sometimes things just go wrong. He gets in hot water and fears for his job. Luckily he remembers the envelopes in the cabinet. He grabs the envelope and it just has one slip of paper in it from the old Sysadmin. It reads: "Blame it all on me."
he does, and management buys it. He keeps his job.
Unfortunately later in his career things get bad agian and it looks like he's going to get fired. He remembers envelope number 2 is still in the cabinet. Excited, he get the envelope and tears it open. Another note is in the envelope from the old sysadmin. It starts : " You will need 2 envelopes and some paper..."
A moderately sized EMP generator would work. Of course when everything else that runs on electricity went off in the pub as well you might get unpopular.
Not with me though, Beer taps are purely a hydraulic system, no electricity needed.
Only if your relative velocity is 10 KPH or less to it. Imagine for a second this object and you are traveling towards each other at Mach 5. You would never see it and most likely the impact would cause you to explode, or worse.
Only if you can unload a whole clip toward the bad guys without hitting a single human, animal or public property....flipping their car is also a plus.
I thought I remembered that some of the cellphone transcripts from the hijacked planes said that the hijackers claimed to have bombs on board.
If they were telling passengers that, coupled with the fact that most hijacked planes up to that point were just flown to a unfriendly nation and held for ransom, the passengers really had no way to know that risking their lives would have saved thousands.
Oh, how long can trusty Cadet Stimpy hold out? How can he possibly resist the diabolical urge to push the button that could erase his very existence? Will his tortured mind give in to its uncontrollable desires? Can he resist the temptation to push the button that, even now, beckons him ever closer? Will he succumb to the maddening urge to eradicate history? At the MERE... PUSH... of a SINGLE... BUTTON! The beeyootiful SHINY button! The jolly CANDY-LIKE button! Will he hold out, folks? CAN he hold out?
According to the UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice, the Law as far as an American Soldier, Sailor, Marine or Airman is concerned) No member of the Armed Services is required to follow an illegal (according to the UCMJ, not civilian laws) order. However you should be very sure that you are in fact being issued an ILLEGAL order. You are bound by law to obey an UNETHICAL but legal order.
tl;dr: You are responsible for following an illegal order.
Sorry AC. I too own a PS3. Fortunately I also own a 360. I originally had Orange Box for PS3, I loved it. Portal, and even the HL2 games were a blast. Then I picked up playing TF2. It was more fun than I've had on a FPS in a long while. Eventually though, the glitching and balance issues got to me. Neither Valve or EA has any interest in patching. There is not a big enough user base of FPSes on the PS3 to justify it. So I sold my copy of TOB to Gamestop for $10. One day when valve issues the 360 update for it, I'll probably pick up a used copy.
TF2 is fun on the consoles, sure. But it really shines on the PC. I don't have a PC that runs it, but even I know that I miss the best features (modding, diverse community of players) by "settling" for the console version.

You could have fooled me. I've been to Chico, if that wasn't from a bomb, then DAMN.
~still better than Eureka
Probably it has something to do with the layman equating
Evolution = better
Bigger = better
therefore: Evolution = Bigger
False reasoning, but easy to do.
No, as long as we reconfigure the graviton emitters to release an inverse gravametric pulse, the effects should be minimal.

And when Microsoft discontinues something, you know it sucks.
Several other voice actors, such as
Phil LaMarr
John DiMaggio
David Herman
Maurice LaMarche
and Frank Welker?
Yeah, its too bad they lost their jobs.

What about Juno? Free internet in exchange for a Banner ad in the address bar? AWESOME!
I read your acronym as Liquid Crystal Display 3 times until I realized you were saying Lowest Common Denominator.
We so need a "commonly used acronyms on /." refresher course.
Of course this is coming from a guy (me) who still reads IANAL as "I anal"

I'm also going to complain on Digg, thankyouverymuch!
To correct your correction:
A system designed to keep incumbents in office is the problem.
Only if your relative velocity is 10 KPH or less to it. Imagine for a second this object and you are traveling towards each other at Mach 5. You would never see it and most likely the impact would cause you to explode, or worse.
To paraphrase Einstein: Relativity is a bitch.
I prefer the Chewbacca defense
They also changed the $5 wiper blades and charged you $50 as a "service fee"
You never heard how Nero clicked as Rome.exe crashed?
That's nothing! I just sacrificed my life to start up Project Purity! Where's my Article?

I think that only works if the black hole looks like a small upended Italian bistro.
