When I read the title, I totally thought they were ricing out the workstations with gaming heatsinks.

At 220W, it'd be running too hot. It'd be perfect for a dryer, high-BTU space heater, or an oven.

Just like the original FP-45 Liberator!

The 3D printer is $30, but a 1lb flour cartridge? $300.

I feel sorry for the guys flying the drones. Being a drone operator isn't anywhere close to being as sexy as being a fighter pilot.

Americans are fat
Americans are people
Therefore, we can conclude all people are fat.

When I did paperwork screening for the government, I had the documents on the 90* screen and my terminal on the regular rotation.

Enjoying paying out the nose for something I can get for cheap? Also: I can jump carriers as I like without ETFs with my Nexus.

DRM is totally an issue on Consoles, especially with EA's grudge against GameStop. Want to take your copy of Madden/FIFA/NHL/NBA/Basketweaving 2013 to your friends house to play during a party AND play online? Not gonna happen unless you want to scrounge up the 10 bucks to get a new online pass code for each friend's console.

The big issue is that Marijuana is currently schedule I. Because of this, the ONDCP isn't legally allowed to do anything but keep opposing the attempts to legalize it.

Responsibilities. –The Director– [...]

And it'll maybe... just maybe be about ISDN speed.

Who the hell decided to not do the format conversion when they phased out the old system?

Not only are there security ramifications of opening your network like that; but there are also legal ramifications as well. Do I really want to be sued or have my house raided by the police/FBI because my jackass neighbor or some random person decided to use torrent or look at subversive material on my connection? No.

Yep. Not to mention that Government IT is heavily limited by bureaucratic bullshit. The contractor I currently work for is barred from using Wi-Fi on our laptops with the government image on it (they're disabled in the BIOS). But we're for some stupid reason allowed to use cellular air data cards. It really fucks up our employees who must connect in a hotel since most hotels are dropping the Ethernet connection and going pure wireless.

I use old burned out DDR3 sticks for a mirror decoration. They even have a little convenient hole to put a thread through.
