Actually (and this how how much of a geek I really am) if you reference the early Star Trek Technical manuals, the 1701 was designed with a saucer section that could be used as a "lifeboat" for plantary landings. The saucer was seperable like the 1701 D, but the main difference is the technology had not been put in place to allow simple redocking. For a 1701 era ship to redock with it's drive section required a major overhaul in space dock. That is the reason you never see the 1071 split like the 1701D did, you don't seperate a 1071 unless you really mean it!
UIUC grad myself and as said, it has 40k+ full time equivalent and a normal population of 120K+ in Champaign and Urbana.
UIUC is great for any kind of computer or engineering. It is also the cutting edge/testign grounds for alot of new technology. Several years ago when I was moving out, a company was in the process of wiring a large portion of Champaign Urbanan for fiber optic phone/cable/broadband. C/U gets alot of that, almost the whole town had broadband capability 10 or so years ago. C/U is a great town, life drops off outside of it, but picks up when you hit Indianapolis of Chicago, depending on direction of travel.
Rose Hulman is not a bad school, but like mentioned it has no graduate programs.
Another big draw back to Rose is location, IT IS IN TERRE HAUTE INDIANA!! Enough said, if you don't get that, consider yourself lucky.
Also, never met a person from there that had any form of social skills.
Final thing, if you are in the Midwest and staying (Rose decent name recognition in the MidWest) Rose is not bad to come out of, but has been said, there is alot to name recognition and alot of people ingnore schools, no matter how they do, unless that have grad programs.
Destroy all the wind mills, you have it wrong. Don't destroy them all, turn them all around! If they are slowing the planet down now, they will speed it up if we turn them all around! Think before you go destroying all the windmills, GEEZ!!
