Maybe a 91 ford escort woulden't be running, by my 91 ford falcon sure is. and with ~260Mm's (convert to miles yourself, i'm too lazy to use google) on the clock it's still going strong with only a bi-yearly service.
The books are cheaper here in Australia as well, all of my textbooks for 1st year uni were only about $100AU each, and from that we get a few percent rebate from the government plus co-op discounts which end up being about $20 off the marked price for a $100 text.
personally i woulden't call COD realistic, it's more of a very atmospheric game. the AI is way to scripted in order to be a realistic game, like they always wait for you to keep moving even though your not the commanding officer. that combined with the fact that your commanding officer is generally invincible really takes away the whole "realism" aspect.
However, one thing the game really does do quite well is put you in the middle of the action. This is the first WWII game where the single player element has AI that, however scripted, is good enough to be really fun to play alongside with. also the sound in this game is just truly awsome! they really took the best sound from medal of honour and made it more intense....and simply put more of it in i guess:p. there's alway so much happening, along with the incredible detail to boot (the echo from the MG42 for example).
like seriously, how good would one of these be for hacking from a laptop outside? hard to trace it back. i can just imagine the ads "Disposable cell phone when combined with Intel's Centrino wireless technology..."
hmm, makes me glad i'm doing electrical engineering at uni then:)
in the scary future maybe they will brain scan all the students and refuse entry to anyone with a possible tendancy to rebel...then anyone in the previous generation becomes a greatly desired individual in order to create devices that fool the scanners.
but yeah, even if the equipment itself recognises that it's being used to copy music and people start making there own then the purchasing of components such as our humble capacitor/transistor/resistor will probably be made illegal. but then someone will start illegaly leaking them from the powers above or making there own etc....it's all just a big circle, a digital arms race where finally the geeks get the upper hand.
If you can put it through speakers, you can copy it. Simple.
It's only a matter of time before someone with high quality gear decides to make a copy for everyone. Sure it might slow down the spread of stolen music, but it can't be stopped.
I have never studied chemistry (save what my high school gave me...not a whole lot anyway) but that molecule they have spinning at the top of the website looks oddly like the caffing molecule that's on the ThinkGeek T-shirt. How did they know most of the world's geeks would be viewing there site? I wonder if they sell bags of the stuff, or is it just false advertising?
Already been mentioned but deserves repeating:
Metallica - Ride the Lightening
also: Nevermore - Dead heart in a dead world
Offspring - Ixnay on the Hombre
And some stuff that few people would have head of
Immortal Souls - Under the Northern Sky
Biogenesis - The Mark Bleeds Through
Mortification - self titled
Tourniquet - Microscopic View of a Telescopic Relm
Countries surrounded by water? Does the isolation drive us crazy or something?
The Japanese make weird gadgets
The English can't cook vege's
And me and my aussie mates can't speak english!
...and it is, hubble has some type of cryogenic cooler onboard. At least according to an article in Sky and Space magazine (it's an australian one AFAIK) a while back that talked about all the extra stuff that was put on hubble last time a shuttle stopped by to maintain it.

Didn't the monkeys come back super-intelligent? I think your crossing stories there...
The most secure home workstation is one that isn't connected to the internet, that's why I always recomend AOL.
Maybe people just dont want to sit at there computers all day long.

this will create a huge problem for the internet in the future and they will send someone back in time to stop it....crap, didn't happen.

I'd check but the site is too slow as it is...
Well if you can't you will just have to go above the system and get the divx.
they probably won't be checking LANs for a while yet, stock up while you still can!

2) There really needs to be a way to turn off that damn drippy sound!
two words: reverse and engineer.
...a linux port. if they get enougd spam hopefully they will port it so we can run it on linux legally (screw their patent!).
