The problem with the NSA
The problem with the NSA is the same as all other problems: They Exist.
Government agencies have long since proven they can't be trusted with secrecy. A secret oversight committee just moves the problem around.
Pretty much, but there was no chimney, just Sid and a bunch of broken things being put out of their misery, and the magic smoke was blue.

Calculate Pi in 10 steps without Guns, only Zombies!
Step 0: Kill a zombie by removing its head or destroying its brain. In a pinch you can lure one up high and shove it to the ground below.
Step 1: Detach one of the bigger bones of the arm or leg. If you have access to a cooler or are far enough north or south you may use the whole frozen zombie.
Step 2: Create your unit of measure. Detach a small straight segment of zombie -- the little bone at the end of the hand or foot will work. This will be our Zinch.
Step 3: Spin the larger zombie part while anchoring one end to create a circle of blood upon a flat bit of ground.
a. If the ground is uneven and you have only the corner of a wall, stand the zombie part in the corner and let it fall over to create a quarter circle arc.
b. Repeat 3a if you have a flat wall but no corner, falling the other direction to create a half circle.
Step 4: Place the Zinch on the edge of the whole, half, or quarter circle. Count the number of Zinches along the perimeter of the circle or arc.
a. For a quarter circle arc multiply this zinches by 4.
b. For a half circle arc multiply the zinches by 2.
Step 6: Count the number of Zinches of the larger zombie part. This is your Radius.
Step 7: Calculate Pi using the Radius and Circumference from step 4:
Circumference = 2 * Pi * Radius;
Thus:
Pi = Circumference / (Radius * 2).
Step 8: For accuracy, each Mathematician present should repeat the above with a different zombie / zinch then average your values.
Step 9: Congratulations! You have managed to distract all of the other Mathematicians long enough for them to be eaten by Zombies!
Step 10: Enjoy rebuilding society using the superior Tau constant!
There are Tau radians in one circle
Tau = Circumference / radius
I am still getting my PDP 11/70 ported to Raspberry Pi. RT11 and RSTS.
Not all "support specialists" are "Bob" in the callcenter talking to lusers about downloading the internet. Even medium-sized companies often have an internal support department. From some I've seen firsthand, $28 is doing pretty well, but not so well as to be in "pipe dream" territory.
Those laptops are likely going to be something like 50% of laptops sold by 2015 or so.
Having actually used touchscreen laptops (as opposed to tablets), I question that assertion. They've been saying that since touchscreens entered the consumer market, and it always comes down to the same problem: ape-arm. Even more, now that tablets exist to fill the "touchscreen media consumption" niche, touchscreen laptops don't even have a real use case anymore.
So, like Kim Kardashian giving Kris Humphries a blowjob?
This is SO WRONG!
It's more like Hugh Grant and Divine Brown.
Please drop this idiotic phrase.
Besides, total lunar eclipses aren't red at all, at least, none I've ever seen. They're a neat copper colour.

The out-of-doors is alright for some chaps. That's why we allow them to be game preserve wardens, and North Sea rig crews.
Let's consult the NIST algorithm, shall we?
You'd have to consider that the Constitution guarantees the right to free speech and wonder about transitive principles - where's the free money?
And if the US Government can confiscate money as taxes, aren't they suppressing free speech rights?
They would only need confidence in the random distribution of holes in the target.
Goddamn mathematician wasting precious ammunition to have a statistics wank-fest after MY goddamn zombie apocalypse?
I'd put a random distribution of holes in his worthless head!
I agree. People who get their medical advice, especially for their kids, from celebrities are destined to have Darwin knock at their door sooner or later.
What celebrity did this Jenny person get medical advice from?
With your bare hands?!?
