Just as an anecdotal data point, I requested coupons the day after the last /. article about their running out. I got them in the mail last week. I'm guessing you were asking rhetorically, but just in case; folks who couldn't wait are boned.

Nop stupif. And nonody likws a smattass.

ianal but I'd guess failing to pay is, itself, the crime. fun how they make it all work out, i'nt it?

I guess no one is cross checking the orbits of all satellites?

Yes, of course, they certainly ARE watching all satellites!

So why, oh, why didn't somebody point a fleet of telescopes at the expected collision/spread area and get us some of the best news-as-it-happens, stuff that matters, scientifically-useful video footage ever!?!slash! In all seriousness though, getting video of these events seems a no-brainer good idea. A shame as this one sounds like it was spectacular. I suppose at this rate there's always next time. and the time after that. and...

Doesn't this deserve to be under idle?

Also has a bad summary (par?) and even has "I did my job though, and you clicked on the headline" quoted in the summary. C'mon... how do you miss an editing layup like that?

"The Hammer" ...Maybe that can be your nickname in federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison. article

Huh... the way you phrase it, it doesn't sound news-worthy.

Your point is well taken. It does make me wonder though, if we imagine an scale of immersion into violence; from talking about irl genocide at the water cooler, to really getting into singing along with a heavy metal song about all the killing in war, to reading a violent spy book, to D n D, to watching violent movies, to playing today's most immersive and violent games (to playing them in 3D?); I do see that this scale has a top and that we're crawling toward utterly-convincing, but still not real, violent experiences. I hate video game legislation as much as the next guy, but frankly, I pause at the thought of tomorrow's kids who'll go to school with the kid with no parenting and easy access to purchase "Stabby McGee; Reign of the High School Shank-Master III" to go on an utterly-realistic random stabbing-spree, in a school, for four hours a night.

Of course the other half of me is screaming all of those concerns are idiotic, that his inability to handle a video game is, in fact, the parents fault and that by the time immersion like that is possible, it will be just like books and today's video games--easily separated from reality.

wow. wii remote controlling your flashlight in a legit-3D horror game. *wets self*

multifail. As the other said, you say the Express cannot send audio; it can. Your link is to the higher-ed Apple Education Store, which requires filling out a form (and lying in my case) to click through. You link to the Extreme not the Express.

drifting OT here, but just... WOW. I'd not seen that. How sublime.
