I don't think I've ever seen a Diabold ATM. It's probably best to avoid those the same way you'd avoid home electronics made by Sorny or Panaphonics. And it's not a great idea to use Diebold ATMs either, though that's a bit harder to avoid.
Gotta agree. This one is a great modernization of the classic slashdot look. It'd prolly even look decent with the IT section's shitbrown color scheme.
And while they're at it, they should enact a law that makes it illegal to use a cell phone to make or receive a phone call. Don't they realize that the internet is all about communication? If you remove the aspects that allow people to communicate using it (forums, webmail, etc), then you clearly don't understand why the net exists. Imagine working on a research project, but not being allowed to use the net to communicate with your colleagues in remote places. And then remember that that was one of the key reasons why the net was developed in the first place...
I realize that you're doing this as an independent study project for which the repair aspect is certainly a valuable learning tool. However, is repairing these machines particularly necessary? Will you power them up and leave them running in the display? I mean, unless you've got some decent demos running (and maybe I'm missing the point and that's exactly what you're asking for here), the machines will be sitting idle behind some plexi. In which case all you really need to do is clean them up to be presentable.

Crap. I was told it would happen in 1980...
I have every reason to be confident that this will work exactly as proposed with no problems whatsoever. After all, it's coming from Microsoft.
When's the Pacific Northwest going to secede? I may need to head out that way again sometime soon...

Nuff said.
How true. Good point. Thanks.
Doesn't radon tend to accumulate in the basement/bottom floors of a building? These guys were on the top floor of the building.
I suppose you're going to tell me that it's a bad idea to stick my head in a running microwave oven, too, eh?

I think you've answered your own question.
But I thought finally we got rid of hanging chads...
Been a while since you've done any trigonometry, huh?

As everyone always says, the pr0n industry decides what new technologies take off. I can't wait to see their novel uses for the Wiimote...
Microsoft, first give me the Halo series on the Wii (complete with Wiimote control scheme) and then I'll start taking you seriously.
That's very true. And it's probably best if we keep it that way.

I can't wait for Zonk to post his Wizard of Wor impressions roundup.
Great googleymoogley!
...and that your agility to aim while in cover was much different from when you were not in cover.
Huh, imagine that.
Damn! I thought you were just kidding about the 45 pages, then I clicked the link for TFA...

Pfffft. What we really need is some mouse-resistant cancer.
I'm suprised nobody's mentioned the obvious solution to this problem. We just need to make an ODF import/export plugin for The Gimp.
I know. It was just an ill-conceived attempt at humor.
Nintendo FTW? WTF?
