$50 - $250 for an NYPD Detective's email login and password? Ack!

I meant no disrespect to Seymour Cray, I just didn't think the company was still all that relevant any more.

Cray is still kicking around??

of if that is too intimidating, DD-WRT or Tomato.

Visuals are nice and all, but I'd prefer to buy a game console that actually has some fun games available for it.... *cough* unlikepsvita *cough*

Just because you're not in the target audience, doesn't mean there aren't fun games on a platform.

The Xbox 360 is still a flop in Japan and it debatably has some fun games available for it.

The difference was in the early days the market wasn't so competitive (saturated.)

Why choose one of the two when you can have both content _and_ hardware?

Fear will keep them in line, for everything else, there's the Patriot Act, that is, until the Death Star becomes a reality.

An example we were given in my Intro to Stats module once upon a time used the Space Shuttle Program.

The numbers following the decimal point are very important when it might mean the difference between a Space Shuttle failing catastrophically instead of leaving / returning through the atmosphere intact.

And the vast differences in manufacturing costs between a 99.9%, 99.99% and 99.999% fault tolerant component and why
it would be necessary in the bigger picture of the complete system.

The next steps are fairly obvious..
1) Figure out how to write data to said mapped brain.
2) Attach USB Interface to organic storage unit.
3) Profit!!!

Except for the part where this Paper CEO of a not real company still makes more a year than 90% of the population.

This is similar to dropping a Sega Dreamcast into a network as an inexpensive hardware backdoor.

If your company has been physically compromised you probably need to start sweeping for bugs and bringing in the bomb sniffer dogs as well ;)

Why make rear projection TVs when you can just omit all the bulky injection molded plastics and just manufacture HD DLP Projectors! :D

They wanted to do this in 1958...but they missed the moon entirely in the first 5 attempts to impact it from 1961 - 1962 during the Ranger Program.

So..yeah hitting the moon was not as easy as you'd think, but they were 5 for 5 as far as escaping Earth's big gravity well.

Or the easier alternative would have been to not be so paranoid and psychotic and all just try to play nice in this little sandbox we've been forced to share..
