I can see this MAYBE in a private school, but NEVER in public schools. Having graduated from HS 2 years ago, I am able to say it is ridiculous how stupid kids are, and how little they understand concepts, such as money.

The chairs would be destroyed within a month. A chair isn't really going to motivate someone to do better in school; students will either do well or they wont, it is up to them to not fuck around and be little show-off pricks for their friends all the time.

Though, as I am sitting in my Aeron right now, I can say I would have loved to have them in HS.

Phase change cooling is not really that extreme of a cooling system for benchmarking... go to Quakecon you will see quite a few people with it.
LN2 (or even better liquid He) on the other hand could be considered an unfair advantage.

Why is this any kind of news? I saw and used this years ago demoed by NVIDIA at Quakecon.

Now the tables have turned:

I am an American prince and I need your help to access my millions of dollars being held in a bank, and in return I will let you keep 10%.

All you have to do to get you share of the money is to wire me $3000 for the unlocking fee at the bank.

Just wait until the first time they accidentally brick some systems.

But why, oh why, would you want to give the most intelligent beings on Earth (mice) cancer?

"A free demo is a luxury we have in the game industry that we don't have in other industries such as film" what are trailers? they provide about the same relative amount of the product before paying for it

This will still leave you vulnerable to DNS/ARP spoofing, for example if someone is on your wireless.

Ethernet cable pairs are not simply "4 pairs ...of approximately the same length" it is 4 pairs twisted together in a precise pattern such that NEXT/FEXT is minimized and optimum signal quality is obtained. The pairs each have a different tightness in their twists resulting in (especially in longer runs approaching the 100m limit) significantly different wire lengths. I recommend using the existing coax to pull Cat5/6 through and leave one or two coax in case they are ever needed later.

Being a college freshman living in an apartment with 3 other guys I find it staggering how little life skills some people have acquired prior to leaving home. I think that some of people's issues with operating in the 'real world' may be attributed to laziness, but some things just amaze me such as them wondering "why do I have to run the dryer 3 times to dry some jeans"; I go look at it and they have been running it on the lights setting and have a carpet in the lint trap.
