About six months ago I was working for Nextel's government employees branch, and I can tell you right now that they DID have ETFs.

Government agencies themselves don't have ETFs, but if you didn't get your phone through your workplace, then you're bound to an ETF. This is also the same with quite a few corporations.

Personal accounts, regardless of employer, generally get ETFs; corporate or government agencies do not.

That is assuming that you already have the Adapter, which is around $200 plus shipping. So really you're looking at spending something like $400 for a 48GB SSD.

Does that picture even make any sense?

The guy's entertainment set is facing the outside door, and there is no couch or anything even facing it. Where exactly do the people sit while watching that, outside?

There is a place to sit BESIDE the set, but that doesn't help to actually watch the thing, nor would it help when trying to control the players that are facing the outside as well.

That living room setup is terrible.

You have a interesting point there...

If you apply that to this machine as well, the tubes used to transport the cool liquid would also condense the water in the air. Running something like that for long periods may end up trickling water into your machine. That can't be too good for your electronics either.

One question springs to mind: who needs a refrigerated liquid cooled PC to power a WoW client? And more over, what WoW player has time to put something like this together?

And you know that WoW is like heroin; either your machine is a dedicated WoW client, or it's WoW free.

From Wikipedia:
--
Darwinism is a term for the underlying theory in those ideas of Charles Darwin concerning evolution and natural selection. Discussions of Darwinism usually focus on evolution by natural selection, but sometimes Darwinism is taken to mean evolution more broadly, or other ideas not directly associated with the work of Darwin.
--

Notice that it states that Darwinism is slightly ambiguous, and is sometimes used to refer to the process of evolution through natural selection. So the usage of 'Darwinism' by the OP doesn't seem incorrect to me.

On a side note, there is the Darwin Awards that these people might want to try out for... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_awards

Not that I really want to pick apart your joke, but I don't think brain damage implies sterility. In fact, lower intelligence is usually correlated (perhaps spuriously) with larger family size. If you want to sterilize the people walking into these poles, then you're going to have to look to something other than just leaving them un-padded.

Well this should certainly anger the Animal Rights Abolitionists.

Not entirely sure what this might mean for animal welfare... at least they're making animal exploitation for efficient, I guess.
