That's a great deal! I paid $229US for mine, on sale, but it didn't come with the ice cream maker ($99) or the pasta set (~$400). 
I'm waiting for the ice cream maker to go on sale, and I can live without the pasta attachments, but I really want the slicer/shredder unit.

One word of warning; when mixing dough, be careful not to make it too stiff--they use nylon gears which strip. Found that out the hard way. (The ex got ours in the divorce. I now mix my pizza dough by hand, which is how I did it before we got the thing. Problem is that good dough needs to be stiff and that can get tiring.)

I had to go to the doctors today, as I had a banana stuck in my ear, and a sausage up my nose!
He told me I need to eat properly.

That would be your guess, I'd say he's still drunk.

Long before the coming of iDevices, and Win Metro/Modern, the U.S. military pioneered friendly user-interfaces [^]:"To give you an idea of how secure the PAL system was at this time, bypassing one was once described as being “about as complex as performing a tonsillectomy while entering the patient from the wrong end.“ This system was supposed to be essentially hot-wire proof, making sure only people with the correct codes could activate the nuclear weapons and launch the missiles.
However, though the devices were supposed to be fitted on every nuclear missile after JFK issued his memorandum, the military continually dragged its heels on the matter. In fact, it was noted that a full 20 years after JFK had order PALs be fitted to every nuclear device, half of the missiles in Europe were still protected by simple mechanical locks. Most that did have the new system in place weren’t even activated until 1977.
Those in the U.S. that had been fitted with the devices, such as ones in the Minuteman Silos, were installed under the close scrutiny of Robert McNamara, JFK’s Secretary of Defence. However, The Strategic Air Command greatly resented McNamara’s presence and almost as soon as he left, the code to launch the missile’s, all 50 of them, was set to 00000000."

That revelation really annoyed the terrorist hacker who had spent the last 3.6 years patiently entering every number - unfortunately he started at 00000001

So you better not use VB?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
I hold an A-7 computer expert classification, Commodore. I'm well acquainted with Dr. Daystrom's theories and discoveries. The basic design of all our ship's computers are JavaScript.

In the 60's the RAF and USAF had British-based Thor missiles.
The RAF wasn't supposed to launch without USAF personnel turning the key.
Of course, they worked out how to hot wire them.

I was contemplating buying Eric Schlosser's book Control and Command. I believe he digs into the nuclear arms industry and some of the close shaves they've had.

The book is a thriller for a physics major. We've come so close to annihilating this world. The worst part is that things haven't gotten much better, but no one seems to be worried.

Once you are in front of a nuclear device all systems of control are useless.

Well.. The one that choose that combo was already using 12345 for their luggage, and was smart enough to not re-use passwords across different systems (or at least different system types).
Damn. Now I need to go change my luggage combo.

For the birth of my son, I asked Loungers to send me one issue of their newspaper. I got ... one answer, but a great one, from that part of the planet where people are living upside down.
So many thanks to Damian[^], who sent me a piece of his local news from the 7th of October. When my son writes his first K>> lines (This is going to be the new fashion programming language in 2028), I will show him that newspaper and tell him: look, this was sent to me because programmers are great people!
And in case you wonder about the date, yes, for obscure reasons, this letter took aaaages to reach my letterbox.
