Do they run Linux? Can I get a Beowulf cluster of these? :O

The possibilities for awesome here are astounding.

Blizzard? Is that you??

Reading this thread while drunk is very difficult to do while NOT giggling uncontrollably like a grade schooler.

I'm sure we all knew rule 34 would not fail humanity. Or all of jellykind.

Luckily I was able to take a course like this in my junior year in high school (admittedly this was back in 1998/99). While I can't remember every project we did, the teacher was really into it and the class was very enjoyable. The three biggest things we did that I remember were watching (and/or reading if a film and book were both made, to compare the versions) Blade Runner, Ender's Game and 1984. Those three have stuck with me and made a very big impression, so I'd wager they're a good starting point. Most of the students really enjoyed them and class discussion was always a lot of fun when so much genuine interest was present.

Why do I read that in a Baldric voice from Blackadder the Third? Tony Robinson cracks me up.

Thank you for summarizing the entirety of Computer Stupidities - it's reminded me to check for updates!

What will happen if a furry convention comes to town?

I drive a Camaro and resent that comment you piece of crap! .. wait, I see what you mean. Damn it.

There is plenty of irony. You totally missed it.

Thank you for the clarification. I seem to have been modded flamebait when it was an honest question because at first glance things did not seem right to me, but I stand corrected!

You don't even need to be a musician to make music nowadays!

It's amusing you bring that up. Why isn't apple getting into deep shit with the DOJ for antitrust practices? Microsoft included IE with windows forever and they got in a lot of hot water over it - just imagine if they had FORCED users to use IE.
