Removed from a command module. He worked fro NASA, during the Apollo project. This is what we were told.
He could have been making it up. But I prefer to believe I held in my hand part of the Apollo project.
Vacuum tubes my fat ass.
Back in high school my electronics teacher brought in one of his prized possessions. (He had worked on the Apollo project.) An IC removed from one of the Apollo command modules. (I do not remember which.) It was a defective module, but I remember it clearly. White ceramic, dripping with gold.
Little known fact: The Apollo project was one of the first practical uses of integrated circuits. (For weight savings.)
BFG-9000 was perfect in every way. Powerful enough to kill everything in the general direction you point it, but so little ammo on any level that you almost never got the chance to use it... But when you did.:)
1) I'm bald (women are never looking for talk shiny and handsome)
2) I don't drink
1. Shave off whatever is left of your hair. then get a new photo of you doing something fun and/or exciting.
2. Lie. OK, fib. Put yourself in the "socially" or "rarely" categories, then just don't feel like drinking.
I wear a buzz cut, in a photo I look bald. But my picture is of me out having fun in the mountains in my Jeep. I thought it was a lousy photo, but it has certainly attracted attention for me.
every time an article comes out touting some new enhancement of the Microsoft Windows Operating system, I just feel compelled to say "Who fucking cares?"
I thought it was just me.
I use a Mac, and it isn't much better. The most hated words on my Mac. "Preparing to Copy." Gets me thinking of:
Dark Helmet: "Your Preparing, your always preparing, just Go!"
Truth be told, I do pay someone to mow my lawn. Costs me $25 every 2 - 3 weeks. Worth every penny.
Not a kid, (I tried that, too unreliable.) but the mentally challenged guy from down the street.
Honestly I know he does a better job than I would.
I always wondered why he feel the need to do that body cavity search daily. Just how the hell he was probing my cavity with BOTH hands on my shoulders, I will never know.
If you can't inspire children to learn under a harsh regime of terror, you aren't using enough terror! I suggest a fully fueled chainsaw on each teachers desk.
If they sell of their computer business what do they think they can sell? Companies that don't make anything, can't sell anything, and can't make any money.
There is still OS piracy. Believe me.
But on the other hand at $29.99 I went out and bought Snow Leopard. I have not yet seen a compelling reason to upgrade to Lion.

I weep for the future. Because what you say is only too true. We are becoming Idiocracy.
Almost exactly the premise behind the "Black hole Travel Agency" series of books, By Jack Mckinney
I will be endlessly polite. Then send them to HR, or the CEO.
Did I mention that he is a passionately religious, born again christian CEO.
It's a space station.
The book was SO much better than that crappy movie.

Give up now, and sell your remaining stock at $99 a shot.

Is that you Bill? :) Long time no see.
You would probably still be in jail.

Who you callin' a "Spade"?!?
Damn, racists are everywhere.
I missed that part. Good, at least I won't have to find a new server supplier. :)

Did anyone else hear Grandpa Simpson saying "Virtualization is evil I tells ya. EVIL!!!!" in their head while reading that?
Perhaps I really am strange then.
