or they could allow the F-22 to be sold abroad - OR EVEN JUST WITHIN NORAD - where it would be a far better fit for Canada's Arctic Patrol requirement than the single engine F-35 - after all that's what USAF themselves fly out of Alaska to intercept pesky Russian varmints flying too close to Sarah Palin's house. (Although RCAF would probably want a probe and drogue refuel which would complicate matters)

Nokia are still "gauging demand"

That's nice. We might be deploying Nokias if they actually just got off their ass and made some, but instead we'll continue to wait on Blackberry Q10 as the only other enterprise ready device with a physical keyboard, which is what our USERS want.

and give your students eyestrain while they learned because DAMMIT MY PROF COULDN'T PRINT OR DRAW EITHER.

I had one prof who spoke in a low voice and thus half the class became disinterested and talked among themselves so you really learned nothing unless you snagged a chair in the first three rows. Naturally, they promoted him to Dean.

Comment Student ID number? (Score 1) 383

Student Joe P. Bloggs enrolls in 2013 and receives Student Services ID 13123456, IT therefore gives him:
username jpb.23456@college.edu

You're not giving away the store by embedding the full ID number but 3 initials (could use X for those who don't have one) and 5 digits would probably have few collisions
