The 'muricans have violated the jihadi's values.

Conflict is easy to manufacture.

As has been said, the minecart is amazing.

I was looking at some of the other ones, and I managed to break the ball drop one - once the ball goes beyond the bottom of the screen, it continues infinitely.

It isn't. There's absolutely nothing stopping you from seeding a torrent of your drm free copy and distributing it to millions. It doesn't change the fact that you are still violating the copyright of the developer and are being a massive dick. To me, DRM-free means "if you own multiple computers, go ahead and install it on all of them without issues."

They explain why they are doing that in the kickstarter. They don't want to lay off their concept artists while they finish WL2 because they actually have 1.5 development teams.

I ran into the bug with the FastIron over 6 months ago. They only just fixed the bug and it took way too much effort on our part to even get them to acknowledge the bug.

Compared to Cisco, Brocade equipment is noticeably lower quality. I've run into two new brocade switches with bad ports on them as well as one linecard. Furthermore I found a software bug with a brocade chassis that could potentially cause it to become unusable with the only way of fixing being wiping the config. I've only seen one DoA Cisco switch.

Oh and Brocade documentation sucks (granted I haven't had to look too much at the Cisco documentation too often).

I know of places at a top US university that are still using thicknet.

Half duplex is more alive than you think.

So what will happen if NK truly opens themselves up to the internet (not like China) and gives its citizens unfettered access?

The illusion will be shattered for the citizens of NK, they will begin to demand more from their government and openess will come.

From the video it seems that they were rifle rounds, not birdshot.

So I found the ignored article and I was none to surprised to find that there was some incredible extrapolation.

"During weeks 12 to 25, total deaths in 119 U.S. cities increased from 148,395
(2010) to 155,015 (2011), or 4.46 percent. This was nearly double the 2.34 percent
rise in total deaths (142,006 to 145,324) in 104 cities for the prior 14 weeks,
significant at p 0.000001 (Table 2). This difference between actual and expected
changes of +2.12 percentage points (+4.46% – 2.34%) translates to 3,286 “excess”
deaths (155,015 × 0.0212) nationwide. Assuming a total of 2,450,000 U.S. deaths
will occur in 2011 (47,115 per week), then 23.5 percent of deaths are reported
(155,015/14 = 11,073, or 23.5% of 47,115). Dividing 3,286 by 23.5 percent
yields a projected 13,983 excess U.S. deaths in weeks 12 to 25 of 2011."

I would expect an article to be ignored when the authors pull numbers out of their ass like this.

Whoever upvoted your post needs to be more skeptical. First of all, they just give a number without stating over what period of time. Secondly, the total deaths aren't stated so for all we know the death increase could be statistically insignificant. Third, fallout doesn't kill you like that. You don't just keel over and die; you get cancer that later kills you. Lastly, the "mostly among infants" claim shows that this is pure FUD.

Oh and correlation != causation.

I'm not surprised your 10 year old switches still work. I'm a member of a team doing network hardware upgrades for my uni and I've been pulling out plenty of gear of that age or older.

The High School that I went to had something like this. I never had to take it however because I was in the magnet program and they shoehorned the test into the first week of the intro CS course.

Poe's law may also apply here.

Well you're quite the loon.
