...is simple. There seem to be a plethora of users there who relish intellectual masturbation. I bet a lot of these folks would give God a "B" for creating the universe.
Worst job - ever - was being a cable guy. I worked for a cable contractor company and it was the worst 15 months of my working life. The people in charge had no people skills - the hours were crap - and the customers were gratingly annoying. I installed cable modems and digital cable for a number of cable companies.
I still think that this job was the tech equivalent of working at McDonalds...
is for them to invade a few of the loud car stereo amplifiers some of the obnoxious twits like to play for everyone to hear. Then, they'd be doing us all a public service...
If I were the medical examiner I would be so tempted to tell the judge to go p*ss up a rope. Or I'd say, "OK, your honor, I don't provide legal opinions so please don't provide medical opinions."
Then again, there's that whole contempt of court thing.;)
Oh, wait, that was 640 KB when he said this back in '81.
Considering how software tends to keep up (and usually surpass) hardware, as soon as one hardware "bar" is set, software will find some way to surpass it.
And I bet not too far into the future, we'll be talking about what to do with one petabyte of RAM.
Maybe I'll start writing down the license plate numbers of cars from which loud music emanates and report them to the RIAA. That'll show those obnoxious twits who think everyone within a 100-yard radius wants to hear their hip-hop music. Maybe the RIAA would sue the cars' owners for illegally performing the music - and the makers and installers of car stereos for enabling said activity. Ahhh, the possibilities...
Maybe I can get Rush Limbaugh to sue my co-worker because he listens to Rush's show every day and Rush would consider it a "public performance"....:)
Seriously, this does seem kind of ridiculous....

I think it's, "Obscenity is whatever gives the judge an erection."

pot, kettle, black!
smells to me like the reincarnation of Tipper Gore and her crusading about 15-20 years ago...
