I wish they wouldn't have censored the story the FCC captain was telling his son at the end ofthe pirate radio episode. That and the white debbie wants a baby episode. I just about puked when they mentioned 'A Modest Proposal'.
F-14 have taken over for the A-6 as the fleet bomber and they in turn will be retired when the Joint Strike Fighter comes online. It would be cool to see someone use one of the new cargo zepplins to carry a gross of 2000kg bombs to do some serious carpet bombing. You would be rather vulnerable to AAA.
I am surprised that you are not an ee as you seem to be as anal as most of the guys I went to school with. It is a rule of thumb and since the original poster didn't seem to have much knowledge of electricity I used a colloquialism that he/she may have heard of. You may consider a pico amp something that may adversely affect your health but I don't. I would bet that the saying came about after we learned to harness electricity. This way the average person wouldn't be afraid of having electricity in the house. Seriously you should become an ee. You will fit right in.
There is no way in hell that they would admit failure. A couple years ago Lockheed had china try to launch a satalite into gso. The thing got up a thousand feet or so and exploded. The US said that the debris landed on a city of 10K probably killing a number of people. The chinese say that it did not land on the city and that no one was hurt. Coincidentally Lockheed was not allow to go look for the sat for several days and when they were allowed to look they found out that a military encryption component of the sat was missing. Sounds oddly familiar.
The hardware was supposed to cost somewhere between $500 and $600. They were going to charge a fee for making a game for indrema. Even if you wanted to make your own game and not charge for it, they were going to charge you a small fee ~$100, to make sure the game worked correctly, then you could give it to anyone with a electronic certificate that lets the machince run it. If you were making a commercial game then the fee would be much larger. Only dev boxes would be able to play any game with out Indrema's OK'ing the game. That is still alot better than the closed development on xbox.
Game developers can't come out and support Indrema until it launches because of microsofts closed development for xbox. If a company made its support for Indrema public prior to launch and then Indrema failed, microsoft could decide that none of that company's games are worthy of being an xbox game. Even if it is the next great game microsoft can choose to screw them. They already admit they are going to eat 2 billion on it. What is one or two games compared to that? Even if Indrema is a huge success microsoft can still choose to screw developers since they don't seem to see anything wrong with that.

Now they will be able to see the big board!

Remember that electricity takes the path of least resistance and zero resistance is as low as you can go.
