...because if I did, I'd never have noticed girls! Robots are just that damn cool!
Based on what I've seen from similar posts like this from other people, you're fibbing. Slashdotters never have anything to do with girls... that is unless they are girls.
If this post offends you, feel free to do one (or more) of the following:
1 -:1,$s/girls/{women|boys|men|opposite sex}
2 - Start your own Ask Slashdot question about how this bothers you and how you had problems as a child.
3 - Go out and {drink|eat|compute} until you pass out.
4 - Hit *YOUR* computer with a hard object such as a baseball bat.
How else are all those {student|personal|classified|confidental} records supposed to get out in the wild to be used for identity theft? If there's no laptop full of that info to be stolen, you're depriving some nice, dishonest, person of making a living.
To me this makes the students "authorized holders" and/or "authorized possessors" of the computers. According to the law in question, they are allowed to do what they did to their own machines.
Why not ask the firewall people if they have an NTP source you can use? If they don't, ask them to set one up for you that way they don't have to open their firewalls to your NTP needs.
$10k = scientist to develop the inside of the container.
$500k = team of engineers to figure out how to make 10 million containers per month.
$24,490k = marketing guys to decide on shape of the container and what to print on the outside of it.
You forgot the part where they spend a great deal of time and money figuring out how the product would fail resulting in one of those mega-lawsuits then engineering to avoid it. Those lawyers can get expensive, you know.
Slashdot Mirror
You forgot something: Beowulf running on BSD is dead as confirmed by NetCrap.
Do you loose packets when there are fires for smoke signals in your area? :-)
Can you imagine a Beowulf cluster of these??
I'd settle for a regular cluster of these little gems.
Wisecrack alert...

Just don't walk anywhere near the automated weapons systems contest wearing that badge. The targets each had IR LEDs in the center.
:-)
Then again...
How about a Beowulf cluster of these?
Someone had to say it.

Being an armchair attorney can be fun.

Oh and of course Marathon will replace Halo as the defacto multiplayer game on the XBox... Did I miss anything?
:-)
No, no, no. NetTrek.
