Change the question some, and the answer would be yes. I would pay twice as much for a washer or dryer that would last 20 years, unfortunately, they are built to last 5 years if you are lucky, they actually have a component called a spider in washers that is designed to break.

Damnit, he has my dream life...where did I go wrong?
Unless something has changed recently, the US only has control over.com,.org,.net... which are the only TLDs they have been mucking with. Your country can muck with their TLD as they own it, and we will muck with ours. If these gambling/counterfeit sites want to operate in their country where it is legal to do so, they can get a domain name under that country's TLD and operate under it, and the USG can't do anything about it.
The idea is to have fuel depots in orbit around the Earth, and in the Lagrange points. You launch a ship into orbit, then immediately refuel, head to your destination where there is fuel waiting for you for the return trip.
Friction is why you do it on a mountain, you get to the less thick atmosphere area. Heck, building one in Bogota CO, or most of Chile would work great.
Comcast makes Netflix crawl to make their VOD service look like it is a better deal. Yes, it is intentional, Netflix wants to put a server on Comcast's network, but are not allowed to, and Comcast's outgoing pipes to the internet are perpetually full because they refuse to upgrade them, even after L3 offered them the upgrade for free.
Second this. It helped a ton, even on my 32" 1080P LCD. The sound is so much better through optical as well, no more noise picked up from the video, or on the video.
I will have to pick up those books, when I initially read the name, it made me think of DragonLance, but when I googled it, I came up with Anne McCaffery, and I have not read her work.
I am not a light user either. I run legal torrents as well, and use Netflix almost constantly while playing four clients of Eve Online, and keeping that patched on two installs (around 4 GB of patches a month there) and running my own Teamspeak, Ventrilo, and Web servers.
So what? This is at a school, do you really think giving the kids 3g is really needed when they could much easier run a wifi network?
no Google apps (like Maps, Gmail, etc), no Android Market, etc.
Actually, it is quite easy to root a Nook and add the market to it. Also, the nook is designed to run an image from the removable flash on boot, so it is trivial to run your own image there from a class6 or better flash card and have a complete Android system. I also heard recently that B&N is looking at adding in the market, so that will be a moot point at that point.
the low-end and the high-end. At the low end, you have Nook, Viewsonic and Archos model
What makes you say these are low end? They are quite comparable with the iPad1 and some are comparable to the iPad2 (which really only added a second core and more memory/storage). The only way you could particularly call the iPad2 High end, is if you think being aluminum is somehow a good feature, and don't miss the expansion slots every other device has.
What law school did you graduate from? The only hardware "piracy" that is even possibly illegal would be producing the actual hardware from your home shop and selling it as the real thing. Emulating has been proven legal previously, so until you can show me court cases saying it is illegal to emulate a currently sold system, you are full of shit.
This is not piracy, you have been told this repeatedly already. Get your head out of your rear and wake up. Just because people can use something for an illegal activity, does not mean that legal uses are suddenly illegal.
If there are people using it for pirating, by all means, prosecute them, but don't be implying that emulating is piracy, as it is not. I would gladly emulate Chrono Trigger, it was a great game, and I still have the cart, just no Super Nintendo for it. This does not make me a pirate. It would also be nice to have all the Wii games be able to run from a hard drive. I have kids, and they have a tendency to leave the disks out to get scratched up, no matter how many times I yell at them for it they still do it. But because of the possibility if piracy, I am automatically labeled a pirate for it. The above poster also offers up the emulation option to allow Wii games to not look like shit on a HD screen, and brkello automatically labels him a pirate. We as the intellectual elite are the ones who should be pushing for intellectual honesty, sure some will pirate, but that doesn't mean the good reasons for things shouldn't be allowed. I like my DVD burner, it doesn't mean I copy DVDs that I rent, nor should I be accused of it.
I get paid child support, and I am the father. Was kind of funny to see my ex get chewed out for not paying child support for a year when I took her to court.
Except when you buy a luxury car, you kind of actually get luxury features. When you buy a Mac, you get an ok computer with older video cards and overpriced components.
Actually, Comcast is known for their problems with Netflix. As they are a cable provider, they refuse to let a Netflix server onto their network (it would compete with their offerings), and their uplink connections to the internet are often saturated.

Do you have links to these "many" modern routers? I would be interested in this if it means I don't need a separate linux box for it.

Yep...specifically the Goons.
Just like you...stagnant is your middle name.

Just make sure the internet connection isn't through Comcast, they intentionally make Netflix unusable.
Which is why forcing net neutrality is important.

Can you link me a site for this? I hadn't heard of it, and having kids I would very much agree in the need for it.
Nice :)

Android, so it is open to being modified with a "school image" to allow them to lock it down and add software they deem usefu
So you really think that the school system has the technical know-how to do that themselves?
So what? Contract with someone to do it for you, this is not rocket science, you don't even have to be a programmer to do it.
No 3G option
So what? This is at a school, do you really think giving the kids 3g is really needed when they could much easier run a wifi network?
