I fully agree with this for a few reasons. 1) Teacher workstation. Excellent idea we use on my campus. I set up a teacher podium with a desktop computer. In the necessary rooms, i mounted a projector on the ceiling connected to the teachers computer. This works great. the teacher has access to resources on the network needed for teaching, the students are not distracted by myspace and youtube during class. 2) We have a computer lab on each floor(2 floors) with fat clients. We really dont need the fat clients since these labs are generally used for typing and simple internet browsing. ive brought thin clients up with management and we might migrate to thin eventually. 3) Laptop carts. A good idea. Remember to use sign out sheets complete with the name, date, and time periods of laptop check out. Number the laptop carts as well. LP1, LP2, etc. Keep the carts in a location where you can keep an eye on them and are able to enforce and check the sign out sheet. Its critical when you have laptops floating around campus on a cart to have a sign out sheet to keep track of them. people dont like to have to return the carts. trust me on that one. Got me running around campus trying to find laptops. Also lock the laptop down to the cart, and lock it down on the network as well. maybe even keep it off the domain depending on the needs of those using it. a laptop floating around can easily be snatched up by anyone.

uuuh people might be reluctant because we dont want to, oh, maybe, die if we give away our brains?

I don't understand why people would take a picture of themselves when theyre breastfeeding their baby and actually want to show it to people. just seems like something you do in privacy.

Not like they have a choice. They can't fire people for losing in a game.

I agree with you. No way i'd buy a Wii just to play another "adult" game that i could be playing on my 360 or even my computer. I think Nintendo should just stick primarily with it's family friendly games. Maybe release some teen or mature shooting games, yeah. But to make a headline of it is kind of pointless for the reasons you stated.

Whats even more impressive is that fact that it is still free to use.

$700 million more taken away from schools. Absolutely pathetic when the government makes cuts to facilities of education, where people are supposed to go to have materials to further their lives in the best way possible. Absolutely pathetic government and i am disgusted and embarrassed to live in a country that cuts funding to schools in any way. Education is the only thing we have left, and to take away from that is the suicide of the country we(whoever lives in the US) live in. No education, no future. Period.

MIT people are just insanely brilliant. Who comes up with this stuff? The thought process is astounding. "Hey Bob, let's inject some nanotubes into cancer patients to study the effects of chemo." "Good idea Phil, i'll build the prototype on my lunch hour." "Thanks Bob, i'm going to go make some coffee that cures AIDS real quick. BRB."

There isnt. besides the fact that this study is common sense, its a pretty worthless study. if youre jumping in line, you probably wouldnt care either way about what the people behind you think. i guess their "social psychology" degrees were bought on the internet for 3 dollars.
