Actually decided to brave the comments section to post just this - the headline is wrong.
This system (at least where I live in Northern California) works something like this:
1. Parent finds "objectionable material" in a book their child was assigned.
2. Parent ignores the packet they got before the school year started that tells them the reading list and letting them know that if they don't approve of any book/material for their child, they can work with the teacher for an alternative.
3. Parent goes to local school district and files an official complaint.
4. After processing said complaint, the district must pull all copies of said book while it is under "review".
5. Parent feels morally justified.
6. Book returns to shelves for the whole cycle to restart.
That's probably the kind of "incident" the article was originally referencing.
I don't know if anybody else has said this, but I noticed that the stuttering bug occurs ONLY during saves. Not at any other time have I seen them. When you hit the quicksave button, it happens, and Every time it would stutter, and then I'd die soon after, I'd look back, and the stuttering happened at the last save...
Just my 2 cents.
I've made mistakes plenty of times, shorting my system and having it reboot just fine.
I've got a switch on the back for the inner light, but I've never properly mounted it, and because of its design, the contacts can touch the case, causing the thing to short out.
I also, while overclocking my system once, caused my video card to overheat and die.
I've done a lot to this system, but it still works!

Interesting. Maybe I'll try it out, too. I use firefox and I sometimes wonder what the other two programs are missing.
Much like ball park nachos: Ya don't buy 'em, you only rent 'em.
