...Each prototype designed by Palleroni and a team of University of Texas students has both a practical and symbolic function. The cypress table, for example, pays homage to the Crescent City's fame as a foodie heaven. The pews evoke places of worship, nearly a thousand of which were destroyed in hurricanes Rita and Katrina. "After the storms, churches were the one part of society that really worked in New Orleans," says Palleroni. "The government collapsed. The police disappeared.

Unless you worship every soul-crushing scream that escapes Trent Reznor’s lungs, you probably won’t like the new Nine Inch Nails video “Survivalism,” at least not the first time you see it. Sure, it’s got style—just look at Reznor’s scarf—but its execution could have been stronger. The song itself is also iffy at first, but in typical Nine Inch Nails fashion, it inevitably grows on you.

But that forecast had to be hastily revised last week, when officials discovered that a computer glitch had thrown off the prediction. As programming errors go, this was just slightly less catastrophic than the NASA mistake that caused the $125 million Mars Climate...
