Kinda makes the whole "bigger oreo" example moot.

If I was an intern, I think I would be more emotionally impacted by cutting into what used to be a living person, rather than staring at some innards on a monitor. The loss of this may hinder the education of medical students.

Or take the advanced class, RedPower 2.

Caveat, it is hard to get into MC modding, due to the relatively difficult learning curve, and getting the environment setup (Eclipse, MCP'd Java code, etc) so, although fun, its not my first pick.

There was a game released a few years ago though (5?) that involved landing on a planet and writing small scripts for controlling robots used in exploring the planet. I cannot remember the title, but it was easy to learn the scripting, I think it was based on Java...

No! don't re-integrate it, it's cursed!

I envisioned you saying this in the comic book guy voice...

Define "tracking". If it is an RFID (near field, like HID cards) then this cannot be used to pinpoint some kid walking around town while he should be in school. Likely it is a card reader that must be swiped by the student... so big deal. We used this in university to gain access to labs. The uproar is more likely parents who just don't RTFA. Caveat; I didn't RTFA either :)-

SVN/TortoiseSVN will do a 3-way merge (for conflict resolution) on a MS word document, at least for the newer releases of MS Word (2010+). I am not sure if the document has to be a .docx or not though.

I see a bright future for this man.

Does it have a finger that lights up when it extends its "neck" ?

Ah, MIMO... ok its slightly less ridiculous.

Brain damaged monkeys... High on cocaine. ... playing MMOs.... ... Are you sure its not April 1?

I play with virtual Lego, AKA Minecraft. Then I write mods in Java and create my own blocks. I suppose you could mod real Legos, but I don't want to glue my fingers together.

Missing option; kind of like a robot maid, with some extra features.

I'm pretty sure they are running HollywoodOS http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?HollywoodOs http://nand.net/~demaria/hollywood.txt

This issue could have had to do with TCP/IP stacks placing closed ports in a limbo state for ~ 60 seconds (for catching late data or FIN packets) . When you only have 64535 ports (not counting any below 1000) then having most of them in limbo is a big deal when you are cycling through millions of connections, with short connect periods, per day.
