I just checked the tripod mount on my S90, and it looks like it's smack bang in the centre of the lens.
As for the pop-out flash, it's motorised. I don't know if that makes it more os less robust, but there you go.
I've read that the S90 is basically the same as the G11 but with a different body and lens, which gives me hope that CHDK will be available for the S90 soon, since it already is for the G11. It does shoot RAW out of the box, though. You won't need CHDK for that.
As others have pointed out, CHDK isn't supported on the S90 (yet, but it's being worked on). It also doesn't support 720p; video resolutions are only up to 640x480 @ 30fps.
(But it's a great camera otherwise, and is widely praised as having good image quality and manual control, while being compact enough to carry around very easily.)
Your professor also seems to have the whole concept of "statistical significance" wrong. A significance level of 0.05 doesn't mean you have "95% confidence" in the results, it means there would be a 5% chance of the observed data being generated if the null hypothesis was true.
Tech Support: "How much RAM do you have in the computer?" Customer: "32 megs." Tech Support: "Are you using any RAM doubling software?" Customer: "Yes." Tech Support: "So you have 16 megs of actual, physical RAM?" Customer: "No. I have 8 megs. I installed [a RAM expanding product], and that gave me 16. I liked it so much I went out and got [another RAM expanding product]. So now I have 32."
Ha. Getting way off topic here, but did you know there's a Canadian clothing retailer called "Roots"? It's stores for children's clothes are called "Roots Kids".

"The soul of music has nearly vanished"? Surely, you must be joking. Either that, or you haven't been listening to enough Tween Wave.
"Important news story"? Depends on your news source.

Hundreds of years before the dawn of history
Lived a strange race of people... the Druids
No one knows who they were or what they were doing
But their legacy remains
Hewn into the living rock... Of Stonehenge
Okay, point taken :). I guess I'm just a pedant who hates to see statistics misused.

the vast majority of us want to be able to throw up the latest episode of family guy
Just like Seth MacFarlane does every week!
(kidding, I love the show)
Agreed. He's just like Jackie Harvey at The Onion.
Bah, this has been the common gripe since the beginning of time.
FTFY
[full disclosure: I just copy-pasted that quote from here. I'm pretty sure that should be "toffee-nosed", not "coffee-nosed".]
Shut your festering gob, you tit! Your type really makes me puke, you vacuous, coffee-nosed, maloderous, pervert!!!
(I have the entire flying circus on DVD bought and paid for... what a wonderful waste of time.)
I believe you meant to say "what a senseless waste of human life."
I'll bet Weird Al is aware of this
If you RTFA, you'll see that what he wants to do is release the parody while the original is still number one.

And one more: "buddy" is American for "mate".
And the fax machine is nothing but a waffle iron with a phone attached!
I'd love to see a Usenet 2.0

Is this it?

I watched a movie about this recently. "RoboCrop", I think it was called.
