As far as i recall, it's was around $5 fixed price per manufactured copy for the PS2 (manufactured - not sold!).

Xbox was at a similar amount. I don't think this figure has changed much for the later consoles.

greenrainbow writes with this excerpt from Inhabit: "The material shown in the picture above is just ice, right? Look again. Elastic water, a new substance invented by researchers at Tokyo University, is a jelly-like substance made up of 95% water along with two grams of clay and a small amount of organic materials. As is, the all-natural substance is perfect for medical procedures, because it's made of water, poses no harm to people, and is perfect for mending tissue. And, if the research team can increase the density of this exciting new substance, it could be used in place of our current oil-based plastics for a host of other things."

My experience has been that there are different tiers. Generally speaking, going to any school within the top 50 or 100 for a field will result in a good education.

You sound like you have a lot of experience in this matter. How many universities did you attend? How many of these were in the top 50-100? Did you attend the same courses on them all, or did you diversify?

Just trying to figure out the grounds for your claims...
