Ruining a laptop is so much more expensive than wrecking a textbook. Plus how are you supposed to draw mustaches and balls on all the pictures for the next class to see?
I have certainly noticed a general move away from Intel in the past few years. I think they may have had a run of bad press and serious competition from other manufacturers lately.
They just aren't the juggernaut they used to be. There was a time when they built it and people came. I presume choice is what's keeping the sales down.
"Cape Canaveral was chosen for rocket launches to take advantage of the earth's rotation. At the equator, the centrifugal force of earth's rotation is the maximum. The direction of earth's rotation is such that to take advantage of the rotation, rockets should be launched eastward. It is also highly desirable to have the downrange area sparsely populated, ideally an ocean, in case of accidents. Thus rockets should be launched from a continent's east coast as close to the equator as possible. For the United States, Florida is the most southerly east coast location."
Why, again, are NASA launches based in Florida? They always seem to schedule launches during the 'hurricane season'
Why don't they pack up shop and move to Texas or New Mexico? If they can set off a nuke there, I think a rocket accident is the least of their worries.

Maybe that shoud be 1692 called ?
Perhaps google maps can find your sense of humour?
It's not really a 'saying' if you are the only one who uses it...
Format clients computer and leave them with a BSD install disc. Tears will flow.
Oh wait...that's fun for me, not them.
Get Lewis and Clark out there. It's not like they're busy these days.
BBC should have called it Dalek!

"A cure for AIDs has existed for quite some time, it's called abstinence"
Dear fuckwit,
A cure is what you give someone who already suffers from an ailment.
Perhaps you mean a prevention?
Save your retarded preaching for Sunday School.

I would imagine this could have many uses. My first would be to put one on my phone. And my keyboard, now that I think about it.
I'm sure there's a ton of people who would appreciate me doing so.
