If you read the lawsuit PDF, you can see that they are suing the school for $250,000.

You just caused a serious flashback by mentioning the Data I/O 29A (with UniPak) ! I programmed many chips with that workhorse.

My favorite way to take notes, or to design something, is using yellow pads and a stack of sharpened pencils.

I've played dozens of shooters, but I always come back to Serious Sam if I have some time to kill. It's simple, and funny as hell.

Why don't you tell us what you REALLY think?

I love Clifford Simak. The writing sometimes comes across as deceptively simple, but the stories are memorable.

All you need to do is combine specific gestures with spoken keywords, and you've got yourself a magically controlled laptop. Required equipment for Hogwarts comp-sci 101 course. If this had come a few years earlier, they could have used it for spell casting in the the Harry Potter PC games.

I agree. I just bought a "Collector's Edition" of Charles Dickens stories. Nice leather binding, gold-edged pages, etc. I'm looking forward to sitting in my comfy chair with a cup of coffee and re-reading these stories. I have so little time to sit and read these days, it has become a special ritual to sit and read a paper book like this, turning the pages, smelling the leather and new paper, and getting lost in the story...

He's nobody's buddy, chum.

Don't be shy. Tell us how you really feel.

Best comment I've seen all day. Nearly lost my lunch...

Wow. That brings back memories. I loved that program.

Don't these damn scientists watch TV? On a Doctor Who episode, a sample of blood was sent out on a probe, and the evil aliens used it to control everyone on Earth with that blood type. Now, with brain wave samples, they come back and turn us all into brain-sucking zombies just for their amusement. It will be the ULTIMATE zombie movie!
