Why is it that Science is always trying to keep up with the inventors and then "explain" how it works when previously they (the scientists) said it was impossible and would violate all the known laws of "whatever"?
Oh Geez, I completely forgot Punch Cards. I remember doing the entire high school's registration with punch cards and that thing was loud!
Then there were bell bottoms, modified VW Bugs, Metal Shop with real equipment, taking your rifle's to school and leaving them in the rifle rack until school let out so that you could get in some hunting for a couple of hours, calculators worn on the hips like cell phones, pocket protectors, OMG I could go on and on.
And what about that new thing where the government is trying to create a new country by merging with Canada and Mexico? Open the borders, give away the Constitution, limit speech because it might hurts someone's feelings.
Remember Popular Science? Back in the 60's & 70's they were sayin' we were all gonna be driving in wheel-less flying cars and houses made of plastic and eating food that was replicated or some such nonsense.
At 23, Pojut has never used a rotary phone, probably never used a record player, doesn't know what leaded gas or a carburetor is, and probably has never seen a TV that didn't have a remote. Yeah, Pojut's young.
This is gonna sound worse than it is, by 2033, I'll be like 75 or something and probably dead from from all the Global Warming. And then there is that thing about December 21st, 2012 that's supposed to kill us all.
Heck, we might all be looking like overly cooked eggs by then anyway.
Or nearly frozen and living underground. My kids already don't know what a rotary phone is, have never seen a record player, and my grandkids probably won't ever have experienced analog TV.
China kinda reminds me of the dog running in circles chasing it's own tail and then yelps when it catches it.
And then does it all over again oblivious to anything around it until the stupid dog twirls it's own self into the hot fire place. The look on it's face is priceless.
Then it grows up and starts chasing parked cars... and misses.
Perhaps we could get Florida to count the votes in Ohio. We should have an answer about this time next year, unless there are lawsuits.
There are always lawsuits in Florida.
Even Florida sues Florida, it's their number one sport and they're trying to out-do California and the 9th Circus.
Like the ACLU is the shining torch bearer for all that is right and good in this country. How is someone's "civil liberties" encroached by using a paper ballot?
Next they're gonna be gluing chicken feathers on bullfrogs and trying to teach them to fly.
Yeah, truth IS a defense for libel, but not an absolute defense. If you hold someone up to public ridicule, regardless of the level of truth, you can still be guilty of either libel or if it's spoken, slander.

Who pee'd in your wheaties this morning?
I'm not. Vista is the Edsel of the computer world.
You can dress it up all you like, but it's still only good for comic relief.
You have to wonder what they'll do next.
Maybe claim that if you share ear buds with your friend, that you're "stealing" the music? That you should be prosecuted for theft?
Abraham was/is the father of both Christianity (Issac) and the Muslim Religions (Ishmael).
Of course, Abraham, kicked Ishmael out of his tent and maybe that's where the animosity comes from.
Is Futile!

I stand corrected, I thought rotary phones had left the US about 20 years ago for touch-tone. BTW does your Dart have a slant 6 in it?

Anybody got any ideas of what phrases are being poof'd by cox?
Nano Technology - we'll probably be assimilated by then - CyBorgs R Us.

Of course I could be talking about our own infallible US Government too.

Are they gonna next want you to sign over your first born for a lifetime of servitude?
On the other hand, maybe they'll take the ex-wife?
Yep, two goes out behind the woodshed, but only one comes back - guess who'd that be?
Hint: Daughter couldn't be without a Daddy, now could she?
And remember, Democracy is two wolves and a lamb sitting down and deciding what is for lunch.
Liberty is a well armed lamb contesting the vote.

Because the US Marshall's are tasked with it. I don't remember how they got that way, but they take it very seriously.
