Safety razors are ceraitnly a good choice, and when they are too dull to shave with you still have a relatively sharp throwaway utility blade. Several taped together can be useful for all sorts of things.However, don’t just throw these in your preparedness kit and not use them. Although quite good, there is a learning curve in comparison to common disposables, and an emergency situation is not the time for added cuts and scrapes.

Comment on Game Downloads: The Next Step in Console Gaming? by Amoo

To start off, I loved the base game of Fallout 3, I got it when it first came out, and sure it had its fair share of problems, but it was still great.And so the story ctoninues with 5 new DLC’s, which add new items and locations to your already large choosings.But alas, this game feels as though little to no testing was done in the game. It is plagued with glitches, frame rate issues, lag issues, freezing issues, amongst other annoying problems I hadn’t experienced in my initial Fallout 3 experience. I believe that the game froze my PS3 at least 15 times across all 5 DLC’s, this also included exploring some areas from the the original copy. These problems occur often, inspiring a new found hatred for the game. To be short, the problems are terrible, annoying, and large in number. But despite its problems, the game does manage to do a lot of things right:1) You can use you saves from the original copy if you still have them!2) New weapons and items are (mostly) very useful and powerful3) Point Lookup ctoninues the game’s-experience with many side-quests and sandbox gameplay4) The level cap is raised to level 30.5) The game can now continue after the main-quests are over!6) You can find a lot more ammo for the Alien Blaster!7) The quests from the DLC (while they are nothing special) add a few more hours of gameplay $110 worth of games for $60 is a great deal!The DLC’s are solid, but are not great. They feel like the main game’s side quests to me, as they feel unimportant, but the rewards are worth playing for. My favorite weapons and apparel are from the DLC including: Winterized Power Armor, Tesla Cannon, Gauss Rifle, Samurai Armor, Samurai sword, Auto-axe/ Manopener, infiltrator/perforator, tribeam laser rifle, double barreled shotgun, level-action rifle, Alien Disintegrator I would have like to have seen more length and depth to each DLC, as no single DLC took more than 3 hours to complete (with the exception of Point Lookout’s side quests and exploration)I’d be hesitant to recommend this to anyone but hardcore Bethsda and Fallout fans, until a patch comes out that if not eliminates the problems, at least minimizes them.

Twelve years, thank you very much. haha. If I remember coelrctry, there were about 300 people at the conference the first year I worked it. I’m really glad to hear that you enjoyed it, and that the dorksplosion in size hasn’t harmed the impact the conference has always had. Hope to see you back next year.

>Are you counting on thngis going wrong with your Ipad?Actually, no but I have heard of failure rates of as much as 30% from districts that have gone with Netbooks and that’s what I’d like to avoid. The true cost of ownership is never just the cost of the computer, you need to consider the cost of the computer and the cost (time and money) in terms of support. >If I want my students to create written work I would much rather they worked on a device that would not cause eye strain.Oh, please. I’m on a computer creating written work all day long and I’m doing fine. If what you want is an e-book reader then I’ve already agreed there may be better options but if you’re talking about blogging and presentation creation there is no disadvantage to a backlit screen. In fact, with elementary age students I am sure part of the allure comes from that color screen. I was impressed by my mom’s Kindle but I doubt my first graders would be. > If I wanted to create audio what are my options?The built in microphone.> limited or expensive keyboard optionThe keyboard on the device is built in. There are classrooms using the iPod Touch for blogging and their output is quite extensive. The larger keyboard on the iPad would only enhance their productivity. An additional keyboard really isn’t necessary. Here’s a sampling of educational apps available already for the device. Most of these are free or 2-3 dollars for up to 40 iPads:

Another great podcast srignps into view.Count me in among the many who have plummeted to their doom due to a faulty’ joystick.And yeah, it’s good to see Burger Time get some love (maybe too much?), even if it is amidst list-making controversy.We had trouble with Q*Bert controls at first, but the quirky gameplay, insane characters and hilarious sounds kept us coming back ’til we were succesfully average.And yeah, Gottlieb, bring it back to physical reality, willya? Instead of those dance-dance machines at the plexes I could go for some jumping games where I stay put.

Hello Jesus, thanks for your cemomnt.I would say its the eternal battle innovation and power. Today its the social networks and the mobile shareholders, ten years ago it was the search engines and ten years from now would be something else. The most difficult thing is exactly that, to know which fights are the critical ones.
