Careful. Last century Mercury was called for cheating. Luckily Einstein was able to get him off, but there's just something dodgy about that planet and god of thieves.
E.E. "Doc" Smith's Sunbeam was a weapon that would concentrate the entire output of the Sun into beam focused onto a (relatively) small spot like attacking space fleets or squadrons of planets.
We're eventually going to run out of gods to name things after, so why not LOTR-themed solar systems? (Looking forward to the TOS system with planets Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Khaaan...)
Students will be required to use the school district issued laptop for school purposes.
Indeed. When rarely powered up, use the issued laptop only for school purposes.
This is necessary to ensure that students have a computer that gives them network capability and the ability to run the software that students will need in their classes.
Translation problem. Exactly how is the spyware needed in their classes?
For these reasons, other computers will not be used on the Kutztown Area School District network.
Surely there's a non-Kutztown wifi within reach?;)
Steal another player's cab and drive it around. (Yes, stealing a data-linked cab with GPS would be stupid. So what? Plenty of stupid crimes every day.)
I'm sure the cabbies wouldn't mind massive attempts to fix the game that way.:) The site didn't say if the 18 cabs were marked in any way, so you might have to take a lot of rides to get the right one.
I find that switching on the distributed database causes a cosmic buttload of ICMP host/port unreachable packets coming back, and I hate to think about how many people I'm pestering who picked up an IP address after someone else got it dirty and dropped it.

At airport security, it would probably trump the guy with a steel plate in his head.

But that doesn't leave anything! Hmmm .. wait, chocolate!
That'll go well with the new iSophagus.
I still use the little TV that came with it.

That's smaller than a dime at arm's length regardless of which one.
Pretty much but from memory. (Although Star Smashers might have had something similar.) The Eich descriptions were great too. Mmm, strawberries...

Beams, rods, corkscrews, knives, forks and spoons of force! His largest beam would have been the Sunbeam.

The school administration didn't know it, duh! ;)
What if you bring in your own laptop?
No problem, he's chipped for it. He has the new Mac iBrain from Apple.

I'm sure it's been a while since Hywel Williams' excellent site was last slashdotted, so Underground History - Disused Stations on London's Underground META NAME="KEYWORDS" CONTENT="london underground, ghost stations, history"

It'd only be truely classic "rip your eyes out" stuff if it had turned out that Luke had killed his father and married his mother.

"Shut down all the Slashdotters on the detention level!"
Could someone create a torrent of the torrent?
