But the prisoners are resistant to having all the water extracted from them, so you have an unsustainable, open system.
And assuming you get over that hurdle, wouldn't you have to ship up more kg of prisoners than you ship down kg of wheat? Or could you get close to a 1:1 ratio if you freeze-dried the wheat to recover moisture before shipment?
Now that they have your DNA, they can make copies of it and frame your ass for a crime you didn't commit! It's technically possible now, and just going to get easier, cheaper and quicker. So much easier than actually, you know, like, solving crimes.
He must be talking about rifles. And I still don't see them fully consuming the firearm, what with all those hard metal parts. Unless they're some sort of radioactive commie SUPER BEAVERS with admantium teeth. Another reason to hate those damn Canananadians!
"yay, we're so damn inept, we can't even serve the students who want to learn.
let's shove them out to clown college so we don't have to pay to edumacte them and they can't make us look stupid."
Some infrastructure the government should contract out to business. And then mandate free access to all competitors. Like roads, water, sewage. For some reason, phone, cable and internet didn't follow that philosophy.
Actually, the cost of the upgrades should come out of the $200 Billion pbs.org that Hatta (162192) mentioned below. The BIG problem with this is that it would seem the money was handed out without:
(a) A mandate with a specific goal.
(b) Mileposts clearly specified for progress toward that goal.
(c) Follow through by Government regulators (wait, could this be that?)
(d) Payment per milepost acheived, due upon delivery not upon agreement to consider delivering.
What absolutely boggles my mind is: didn't any of "our" "representatives" have the common sense to realize that just handing out LARGE SUMS OF MONEY without any sort of enforceable performance requirements was a bad idea?
And make the same mistake several times over.
They can't all be that stupid.
no wifi, less storage than a Nomad, lam... oops, what?
what's up with the laptop form-factor for a system with games designed to have you jump around the room waving your magic rod like an idiot?!! Come on, at least toss in one of those newfangled LED projectors like the kids have in their cellamaphones these days!

Why can't Apple let the market decide. Set up some sort of rating system so people can filter out stuff they don't want to see.
oh, dear, didn't they read that story about the babelfish?!!!
4Chan's gonna cause WWIII with this.
Yeah, much better to keep people ignorant so they're incapable of making informed choices!
holey crap, for a school that's only been around for 20 years, they've got a remarkable number of fucked up incidents

anyone who grew up before the 80's can tell you how fascinating slide-shows are.
Did you just say " The Dot " ? With capitals? sheesh

I hate you.
oh, ghod, no, please, not "twobbery" . It's enough to make one give up the English language.

Careful underestimating how stupid congress-critters can be.
The implication being that the alternative is that they are corrupt. Or at least the system as a whole is.
Can you say eyesore?
