In Real Genius they didn't use lasers to shoot down missiles... They used them to make popcorn (but had planned to use them for political assassination).
Reactive armour has no electronic control, it's just a sheet of explosives sandwiched between two layers of steel held off of the vehicle hull. When a HEAT shell detonates on the surface, the explosive sheet also detonates, disrupting the jet.
HP Officejet 6110. Automatic Document Feeder, decent scans, and under $800. Just don't walk away and leave it scanning or it'll do 3 pages at once and jam. We've used them for over 10000 pages where I work.
But really... If you have the negatives, always scan those (with a filmscanner) rather than prints. Prints almost always have less information than the negatives, and deteriorate faster. A good enough filmscanner (if your slides and negatives are dust free) should only cost $250 if you need to scan only 35mm. One that can handle 35mm and medium format, with dust and scratch removal will cost ~$900.
And get VueScan. Having to manually save each image in photoshop really really sucks when you've got a few hundred images. VueScan saves directly to file, rather than sending the images back to an interactive program. And it works on Linux, MacOSX, and Windows. Watch for scanner compatibility though... the CanoScan models need drivers not available for Linux, but the Epson, Nikon, and Minoltas work in Linux.
Unless Perl, Python, and all the other stuff needed for portage to work are included in your definition of bloat. Which for this project they probably should be.
Speaking as a gentoo user, I think it's a particularly unsuited distro for this project. The users have no computer experience, and installing a package can force a mountain of dependencies if you don't know what you're doing with the use flags.

This may leave you with a stable, useable system, but a whole lot of bloat. Gentoo can make some really bloat-free systems, if you know what you're doing. By some people's opinion, existance of a compiler is bloat on end-user systems and production servers. I see there point, and agree with them under many situations.
Many current CPUs don't have built in clocks, but still need them. This architecture is very different. It doesn't need a clock at all. All the timing is based on the propagation delay through the gates. This is extremely difficult to do right.
The moderation of this post is a prime example of the need for a "wrong moderation, should be..." metamoderation category. It is indeed funny and deserving of +5, but not insightful.
Can't you just make things people need and find useful and if they need it they'll come to you?
Yes, but that's not where the money is. The money is in making the consumer dissatisfied and convincing them that your product will satisfy them, then not satisfying them so they'll buy again.
Marijuana is especially less dangerous than methanol, which is more likely to cause blindness than drunkenness. That said, inhaling partially burnt hydrocarbons from any plant is bad for you.
Palladium (also RIFTS) blow chunks if you have anything but a min/maxed combat monster. There's too much spread between a combat focused character and a more rounded character.
All those who can tag, Tag this one as "true"; I already did. Oh but wait... then people would actually tag the d20 My little ponies story as true.... argh.

What if I really wanted to go to goggle.com? (don't, it tries to drive-by install something when you leave.)
Professor Nutt the psychopharmacist who writes about alcohol that doesn't get you drunk? Well named!
Intelligent Design is not a theory. It's not even a hypothesis. It's an assertion.
Up here, quarters are just under twice the area of dimes.

Translation: It's a machine gun. Probably 5.56mm NATO standard, as it's just big enough and the ammo is cheap.
Basically the same as a scaled down Phalanx.

Can of tuna packed in oil $0.65 . Garden soil: free. Warm spot on top of your refrigerator: free
... I have no idea. Maybe that's where the $9999.35 comes in.
Some way to aerosolize the resulting cocktail of anthrax and botulotoxin:

Opium, or ethanol, perhaps?
But silver solutions are such an effective anti-fungal!

1) Put up a sign reading "Don't go down this road, even if your GPS tells you to; Dangerous conditions ahead".
2) Stabilize the slope above and install a guard rail.
Tar/gzipped rcs repository... so original.
Install a version that's not badly outdated.
Except the the "habbit" can't be stopped. And has a profound detrimental effect on a person's life, if not their health.
Just free as in radical.

Nobody in their right mind uses pen for them anyways... It's pencils all the way.
I'm a big fan of the GURPS game system, but everyone around here just wants to play D&D. I bought two new basic set biooks, but they just sit there.
