When I toured the campus a few months back, I was more interested in the 3d lab they have setup across the hall. http://um3d.dc.umich.edu/

Cherry Juice. Get the good natural stuff that's not full of processed sugar and drink a glass each day. At our Chiropractic clinic a lot of senior patients have gotten really good results with reduced arthritis pain in their joints from this.

Then there's also the geek project to solve the problem... build a small robot system together that he can use for soldering. Something that can tolerate slightly trembling hands while still offering solid and precise control. I imagine a simple robot arm that can attach a soldering arm, controlled by a joystick system with varying motor speed for more precise movements. Add in a large magnifying glass and an adaptable vice to hold the board and you have a precise soldering workshop.

74% of all statistics are made up.

Hey Australia, it's not all about you.

Now keep buying our stuff and be quiet.

A couple of months back my family and I were having a debate whether falling thirty feet would break your legs or kill you, so we asked Siri. She responded back with a list of buildings we could jump off in our area over thirty feet high.

I'm all for scientific tests... but ouch.

Expectation of shared childcare is a load of crap. Expectation of shared workload is what's expected out of sensible adults.

That means if the wife is spending all her day taking care of her children (by choice) then the man should be spending all of his day working. Same difference vice-verse for stay at home fathers.

If the couple wants to build a house for themselves, then the wife can easily watch the children while the husband works, or they can simply trade positions and he can watch them while she builds the house, or they can do it together.

When a couple wants to accomplish something like building a house, it's fully expected of both people to sacrifice and commit to the endeavor. The wife in the above example wasn't at home suffering, she was pulling her fair load so the husband could put his effort into building her a home.

Blah blah blah, one country is an ally, so we should turn on them in exchange for trying to win another country that's attempting to manipulate us. Yeah, smart choice there.

Your response also has nothing to do with NK, who would rather starve their citizens and grow opium than improve things for their own people.

I love it when people post smart-alec comments while they themselves are misinformed. Slashdot isn't auto-correcting anything, it's your browser.

I also love how chrome wants to correct smartalec to smartypants. :)

This is exactly how I feel. I am more than willing to give up a bit of privacy for free quality products. I know exactly what I'm giving up, and frankly for the free products I'm more than willing to trade.

They can track my websites in exchange for a free product. It's my form of payment, I trade them information that advertisers are willing pay for the privilege of custom advertising to me.

Your problem is CenturyLink. They bought-out verizon at my parents home and became the only available provider. Though my parents pay for 12Mbps down, they get 2Mbps. We've seen 4 different techs come out 6 times and try and fix the problem. 1/2 the time they've come out, said they were gonna do some tests, and then left saying it's fixed. The latest tech actually ran a line across the neighbors grass and into their outlet. Needless to say, the problem isn't fixed, the solution is incredibly stupid, and I can't wait for the neighbors to start mowing soon and rip the wire apart.

Century link says if they can get my parents to 3Mbps then they are meeting their minimum standard for that package. They aren't willing to try and get even close to the 12 advertised. The problem is squarely with their equipment as previously my parents got 12 down perfectly fine when they were paying verizon.

If you can, run from CenturyLink.

Lol... Neither GeekSquad nor Best Buy work on commission.

But employees will push for the sales that bring in the most money to the store. Unfortunately, sometimes the employees decide lying and scamming customers is worth the few extra bucks (ex geek squad).

Stupid people do stupid things all the time.

I was purchasing some wine for my wife and had my 12 year old brother with me in a grocery store. After carding me (29) the teller asked my 12 year old brother for some ID...

If I've learned anything from anime, it's that space battles will consist of giant armadas of robots piloted by people who all get slaughtered until a random girl in a giant robot suit with infinite capabilities eventually achieves the self esteem she needs to take the fight straight to the bad guys and wipe them out, escaping at the last possible second.

I'm a junior attending a pretty decent private school right now for Computer Science. Excluding my CS classes, every professor has banned any electronics equipment (i.e. laptops, cell phones) use during the class period, and I completely agree with them.

Even when you use a laptop correctly for taking notes, your clicking is disruptive to other students. Beyond that, the vast majority of students just screw around on facebook or other sites. Some are exceptions to the norms, but I would easily wager that 95% of all students who use laptops in college courses would do better with just paper and pencils.

From what I can gather, the only students crying about the bans are a bunch of whiny high-schoolers who don't take college seriously anyway.

When I worked on the AWACS as a computer technician, we checked out all of our tools from a tool shop. Every toolbox has an inventory of all the tools inside it. Each area of the tool box has a foam cutout fit perfectly inside with shapes cutout of the tools that goes in the spots. Every single independent piece has it's own location. Every toolbox has the same layout and every tool is etched with a serial number that's tracked in a database and on paper.

When you checkout a toolbox, the tool shop inventories the tools, looking in every spot and touching every tool with their fingers while they count the total tools found per area. It's really easy to see if a tool is missing because of the cutouts and the count is a double check of the inventory checklist.

Then the technician takes the toolbox and re-performs the inventory, checking every level of the toolbox, counting the tools, and when all the tools are accounted for then the tool shop scans the box with the airmen's ID number. The airmen is now personally responsible for every tool, which is why they double check in case the shop screwed up.

When they check it back in, the same thing occurs backwards. If a tool is missing and they can't find it on them, they immediately report it to their shop. Every airplane they went to is "unofficially grounded" and they have one hour to find the tool. If it's not found, then every plane is officially grounded that they went to and it's reported to the squadron commander. Needless to say a lot more brass begins to get involved at that point which puts a lot more pressure on the shops and the airmen. It wasn't common every few months to see 30 airmen walking in a line down the flightline looking for a single screwdriver. A friend lost a flashlight when it fell down a hatch and ended up buried in insulation along the belly of the jet. That stupid flashlight took 15 airmen 2 hours to find.

This doesn't just occur for toolboxes, but every tool used for aircraft maintenance.

The USAF has very high standards of Q.A., their subcontractors however are the idiots in this scenario.
