People sometimes ask me if I could put up with a whole day where I'm cut off from my up-to-the-second news sources, my RSS feeds, my constant torrent of media.
I say to them, yes, I do it every April 1st. And I end up with the shakes and it strengthens my resolve to never willingly unplug.
At least there are video games. Sweet, blissful, calendar-unaware video games.
It's "venerable" because, despite its flaws, it's extremely memorable. I remember so much from that game, and I can't even remember what I played yesterday. There are a half-dozen scenes from that game permanently burned into my brain.
And because of that, I am totally going to fire the game up in ScummVM, suffer through some warts, but enjoy the heck out playing out the scenes that I've been remembering for years.
Adding to the brain drain is a problem with slow US visa processing, since last November or so, that has been driving desirable students and scientists out of the country.
I like my protectionism like I like my women: passive aggressive!
If by "a lot", you mean "a little", and by "ammunition", you mean "small arms ammo like Remington rifle cartridges, which aren't explosive, and by "secretly" you mean "it was on the damn cargo manifest", then you're on the money.
Or do you have any sort of legitimate proof that there was some kind of other munitions stowed away on the ship that is actually relevant to its sinking? Anything besides empty "I said it's there" claims?
Imaginary things are now real!
Imaginary people now have all the rights of real people!

You know, I'm thankful that when I go to a sports website and read an article talking about a quarterback that throws too many interceptions, there aren't morons in the comments complaining that the article doesn't explain what an interception is.

Checking the form submission in script is like the sign outside a stadium that says, "don't bring knives into the stadium."
Checking the form submission on the server side is the burly guy with the metal detector at the entrance.
The latter can do the job all by himself. The former, by itself, can't be trusted - but the idea of it is to (hopefully) cut down on the other's workload a bit.
In the big picture, there's a distinct trade-off between security and usability.
That doesn't mean that, in the small picture, every security improvement comes at the cost of usability. But when you're talking big picture, to get the kind of security you're talking about, you have to rethink what it means to use a computer/OS/etc. Things you currently take for granted (like, as someone else said, plugging a USB device in) become "holes" that have to be closed.
It feels like the only reason half my co-workers talk to me is because I'm the only one with tits in the place... not because I'm smart, not because I can code with the best of them, not because I'm funny, or cheerful or anything else.
To be fair to your co-workers, they're really nice tits.

This is the problem, not what the rest of your post describes. Fix this and the rest of the problem goes away.
Use that money for other, more useful puposes.
Provide (or upgrade) campus-wide wifi, provide an on-campus "geek squad" that actually knows what they're doing, etc.

Sorry, but tentacle porn and pedophilia is not mainstream in the US.
Look, I said I'm still working on it. I can't do this shit all by myself.

I'll be having children in a few years, and I'm not thrilled about bringing them into a world that is without Construx.
But it's going to get funny again, when a bunch of kids who have never even heard of dial-up modems start asking WTF a "NO CARRIER" is.
