I'm pretty sure that "Operation" has always been a battery-powered game.

At another job I supported Apple Xserve and RAID. We had a "spare parts kit." It had one of every part in n xserve, "the RAID had it's own similar kit." When anything failed I swapped out the part myself with the spare parts kit, then Apple overtightened a replacement part with a pre-paid shipping for sending the failed part.

Actually TFA wasn't about people believing things the researchers didn't agree with, it was about people believing things that are simply false.
Do you have personal knowledge of where Obama was born? I mean, you were there and saw it with your own eyes? If not, you believe the claim he was not born in the US is false because you believe someone else who told you that, or because you choose not to believe someone who told you the opposite.
And here's the real problem with Fox News. It subverts the very idea of there being an objective truth in order to push its agenda. Obama's birth certificate is publicly available, copies have been displayed in multiple news sources, but the Birthers always require "one more level" of proof. Hey, it could have been forged, etc, etc. At some point you have to accept secondary sources unless you're doing the research yourself.
Let's say you had a uncaught labelling error on a source file (foo.c) when you create your baseline label. I know, you're checking for that, but just for the sake of argument, let's say it happened. With a

Full body scanners were floating around in 2005, they were aready installed in airports in 2006/2007... orders have been placed, contracts signed, contractors hired, training done, policies and protocols written, multitudes of careers exist around these infernal things... you don't just step in and undo all that with a snap decision.
Actually, you can. fire the contractors or give them other jobs, tear up the policies and protocols, issue a big mea culpa and move on.

I was responding to your assertion that a five year old has the capacity to ignore scary, nightmare-inducing stimuli simply because it is "bad". You see, when something is disturbing, it is difficult for even an adult to ignore it.
A child does not have the defenses that an adult may possess. The world is already a scary place when you're less than four feet tall and there could very well be monsters under the bed. Some of the shit that is on broadcast TV would give him nightmares for the rest of his childhood. And I'm talking about stuff that is on before bedtime.
Now, as for you, DarkKnightRadick, you've demonstrated that you're just flamebaiting. Is this how you would talk to somebody in person? Grow up.
