Considering you nick, the interview with Alan Cumming was quite a riot, especially when he introduced his line of personal care products. Maybe it was just a particularly good 2 weeks but I also found the one with the gentleman who wrote a book after going out on a fishing schooner funny/informative/sobering.
I have a revision 2 PS2(out of the 12 models cylon^H^H^H^H^H) and I never used it for movie playing. It seams to play all type media (even runs film discs is I putthem in to test) just fine after all these years. I do agree that SONY makes cheap crap for consoles, my PSX wont work unless at a greater then 45 deg. angle (the upside down trick dont work). I know people who have gone through several PS2 units.
Not that i think a million (or any number) of people being killed by terrorists is a good thing, but why exactly would such an attack crash the entire american economy to the point that people in the "mid-west" be affected as it the great depression was happening again?
The sky high attrition rates of DeVry are NOT a good thing. Some courses will have a certain level of attrition but the rate I ahve seen , you quote, and what I still hear as the norm are not sane.
I forgot to add, the last intern we hired from DeVry wound up stealing hardware from the company. Was escorted out by police. Again YMMV, I know a few grads who I would trust with my life, but I have seen some ugly stuff as well.
There are a lot of good and bad reasons to bash DeVry. Some people are doing it for either or both. You will not I tend to bash the school and how it is run, not so much the students (one intern specifically). I had some awesome teachers there who really cared about the students and the subject they were teaching. Others were lets just say about as close to opposite of those good teachers you could get
As a pround DeVry droupout (I couldnt borrow enough to keep going in my EET course). I have to say for every hireable person they show in some commercial there are 10K people who are not such sucess stories, probably about 1K out of those have normal sucess stories. I know of 2 grads who did well/ok out of 10-20 people who went. A number could not finish for financial reasons and we all hated the BS DeVry was. They lie to you to get you there, charge insane fees, and rape you in every way possible. The Columbus Ohio campus made it impossible to see anyone useful in administration if you had an issue to discuss. Frankly I am doing better for myself in the tech industry I went to DeVry for then I probably would have if I had somehow come up with the money to keep going.
On the bright side, it led me to my wonderful wife, some good friends and set up the circumstances for me to be earning way more then 2x the wages they claim a grad will make.
YMMV, but they are a bootm feeder of educational institutions. The character from the FOX TV show The PJs said it right "Hold on now. Not all of us graduated from DeVry." They prey on the people of any race who are not able to get into better schools. If they hadnt lied so much I'd be less bitter, and if they had treated students a little better I would have better things to say about how they run the place.
I give em credit, but realize how bad a problem is if the cords are so poorly made that they heat up to the point of melting carpet.
They are lucky no one was killed after falling asleep with the Xbox on.
I think they should have sent a bit extra making sure stuff like that never happened by getting power cords speced for handling a higher load then what they expected to be drawn by the machine.
The internal fuses are whats supposed to die in the event of a short not the power cord.
So you are saying that the power cord shipped in an Xbox is incapable of passing the current necessary for operation without generating large amounts of heat (enough to burn you after a number of hours). This is just bad design and might even legally be an issue for them.
I hope everyone remembers the most description of Ford's looks is his hair and smile. I am suprised they didnt re-name him to Ford Escort so people would get that joke.
Enterprise does not have shields like the Vulcans, Romulans, Klingons (and just about everyone else). That have armor plating that has some minor energy deflection, but basically it's just ablative armor.
Here in the "World of the future" for all you people so upset by a song, we have this magical technology called mute. You can safely never hear something you dont like and still enjoy the stuff after. It's not that hard folks, like banging the rocks together.

I know burnout 1 and 2 use it, I dont know about 3.

How much for just the planet?
"Seriously though... how many /.ers have to pay taxes, raise a family, pay a mortgage, and pay off student loans?"
My wife and I (whoa are in our 30s), and somehow we still think it's wrong to behave like so called "conservatives".
I believe you will find upon further examination that without some drink the sustenance will be inadequate.
I could be wrong, but American chicken factory farms also used to (I do not know about now) do this as well.

You do realize that we can not nuke some of the most holy to Islam places ebcause that means nuking Israel as well. Or are you ok with that?

After the 4th of april you have to learn to drift and float my friend.

For construction reasons, why would we want them to be humanoid. HAve a robotic back hoe, robotic dump truck, robotic welder, ect.
For the welder, I think a more non human design would work better for dealing with high steel.
Mr. Dent, do you know how much dammage this construction robot would suffer if I just let it roll over you?
Your idea of the arm to mke you feel more comfortable sounds like something Douglas Adams would have come up with.
That's an accurate description of what happened to my financial aid and personal income when I was going to DeVry.

Shouldn't you report back to the guide's editorial offices for a new assignment.

"Mackenzie Calhoun"
For some reason all I can hear is Mike and the bots saying "Calhoun!" in that angry police sargent style voice.
