Reminds one of the scene in Burn After Reading where Chad tries to blackmail Osbourne Cox:
Osbourne Cox: If you ever carried out your proposed threat you would experience such a shitstorm of consequences, my friend, your empty little head would be spinning faster than the wheels of your Schwinn bicycle back there.
Chad Feldheimer: Y-you think that's a Schwinn?
To avoid offending anyone, I've taken to calling it "Oh Ess Eks Ten".

Whether it applies to situations outside the school is an interesting question.
One of my roommates in college was in the pharmacy program and had a *lot* of parties at our house. It quickly became clear that the they were in the program because, duh, "That's where the drugs are".
It took 8 hours and 18 minutes to warm up its systems, get a location fix, halt the spin, turn towards the sun, and, finally, point its communications antenna at Earth. Bah, I do that in 15 minutes *every* morning.

I use a Case Logic AUA-311 which holds (inventorying it as we speak...) a Chromebook, Nexus 7, iPod gen 4, flashlight, flash drives, magnifying glass, pen, pencil, a couple of small screwdrivers, etc. Plus a Kindle Touch when I might want to do some reading without a backlight. With all that stuff, it's still lighter than a laptop in a bag.
Universal Service is administered by the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) http://www.usac.org/about/.
"To implement the 1996 Telecom Act, the FCC established four programs:
- High Cost, for rural areas (transitioning into the Connect America Fund)
- Lifeline (for low-income consumers), including initiatives to expand phone service for Native Americans
- Rural Health Care
- Schools and Libraries (commonly referred to as "E-rate")
Money to pay for universal service programs comes from the universal service fund (USF). The USF is paid for by contributions from telecommunications carriers, including wireline and wireless companies, and interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol providers, including cable companies that provide voice service, based on an assessment of their interstate and international end-user revenues".

Kind of interesting how they don't explicitly state that "money to pay for universal service programs" comes from customers (it's a line item on phone bills). Actually, it used to be two line items, one for universal access (phones for the poor) and one for E-rate (Internet for schools, libraries and rural healthcare).
My dad used a wooden dowel rod or broomstick to listen to the hard-to-reach spots.
