I did a job a few years back in AU on a PDP-11 that is still being used by a very large concern. They still used RT-11, TSX, and doing all of their in house WP on LEX-11. I kid you not. It was like stepping through a time warp with Vt-52's and 100's running. They never upgraded their stuff as the custom written software was still doing the job required of it after all these years.
Give it a few decades and all that can happen behind the scenes and computers will just automatically perform even the most complicated data conversions behind the scenes. "Computer, scan the 1997 floppy and put the data on screen."
Really? Do I need to insert my credit card so that all the different patent and rights holders get their cut as I pass through their digital territory?

If you want to worry about what history will think of THIS time, perhaps you should be a more careful custodian of previous ones.
I dread to think that archives of youtube twitter and facebook survive into the future. We will be looked back upon as a bunch of retarded idiots.

We're still able to restore cars from the 80s and earlier as the cars were fully mechanical or hydraulic. No computers.
We won't be allowed to drive it though. Unless of course it is after the EMP and then we will all be rich cab drivers
I'd like to party with you
Someone should have lost their life let alone their job for that
Can I keep sharing needles with them?
Makes your eyes red just thinking about it
Is there a wumpus inside?

You scientist types are all perverts, aren't you?

The fact that she boils the screaming lobsters alive before using their tails for these wanton acts of depravity just adds to her inhumanity.
Did the police break the law building this gun? If not, why not? I am asking you as you sound like you have an understanding of the issues.
History has been rewritten since that time. Please join the long queue for a 16oz kool-aid.
Consider your idiocy screamed to the world.
It's lack of oxygen to the brain that creates liberals
It is a history of American education. I do wonder though if your cursory glance looked at the table of contents.
It is only 7.75 inches long. So that might say something.
I am not a dad. I have two dogs and a chicken though. Very clever.
And... yeah, I think you know all the possible explanations for why the school system is broken already, so I won't bother rehashing old threads.
I assure you that I don't. The Underground History of American Education is well worth a read. Or at least listen to what he has to say.
