"...within easy reach of Winston's arm, a large oblong slit protected by a wire grating. This last was for the disposal of waste paper. Similar slits existed in thousands or tens of thousands throughout the building, not only in every room but at short intervals in every corridor. For some reason they were nicknamed memory holes. When one knew that any document was due for destruction, or even when one saw a scrap of waste paper lying about, it was an automatic action to lift the flap of the nearest memory hole and drop it in, whereupon it would be whirled away on a current of warm air to the enormous furnaces which were hidden somewhere in the recesses of the building."
There are two San Francisco bridges - among the most used and photographed in the world - built within 6 years, during the 1930's.
The Golden Gate was a WPA project - approved and built in 4 years. The Bay Bridge, not formally WPA, benefited immensely from the large-scale mobilization of labour and planning that WPA enabled.
There are effective monopolies. Do you think you can browse more than 10 different properties on the web, without becoming hopelessly enmeshed in Google "services" that you did not electively consume?
I went over to the Sargent, said, "Sargent, you got a lot a damn gall to ask me if I've rehabilitated myself, I mean, I mean, I mean that just, I'm sittin' here on the bench, I mean I'm sittin here on the Group W bench 'cause you want to know if I'm moral enough join the army, burn women, kids, houses and villages after bein' a litterbug."
He looked at me and said, "Kid, we don't like your kind, and we're gonna send you fingerprints off to Washington."

Call it what you like. I was using "Brahma" and "Reality". :-)
Both are the same thing, which is infinite.
Time and space are illusions*. Try to prove them and you will only produce paradoxes.
* lunch time, doubly so.
Signed, the Necrophiliac.
It'd be fun.
I wish xorg had framebuffer support for these old Indigos.
Then? You could get a Linux or BSD going.
True about the Irix libs for the C compiler.
I have an Indigo R4400 Elan and an Indigo2 R4400 MaxImpact. They are elegant space-heaters, that also run antique FIrefox versions.
I miss Irix. :-( And Indigo Magic.

When all the records are locked in 8x11 filing cabinets, sealed in Manila envelopes?
And the FOIA headache!
Destroying those records is hard, and some turn up - years after they were declared not to exist!
Save the world! Destroy America, before it's too late!
Oh no! Now Slashdot will be listed as a TERROR SITE. Don't delete us, Joe!

Belatedly. Thanks. :-)
In Corporate Amerika, Bank robs YOU! :-)
Heh.
Maybe between the two of them, they can find a business model.
MEEEPT!
Right. This isn't propaganda. You refute me, irrevocably.
So "Rant" is the term you use, when presented with an analysis with which you disagree?
You are a stunning rhetorician.
There are effective monopolies. Do you think you can browse more than 10 different properties on the web, without becoming hopelessly enmeshed in Google "services" that you did not electively consume?
There are commercial interests that also operate without your awareness. What about CarrierIQ? http://mobile.slashdot.org/story/11/11/23/0032233/carrieriq-tries-to-silence-security-researcher
You are a hidden, downstream OEM relationship away from "services" that treat you like a human crop, to be harvested without compensation.
Oh, and "Thanks" for the ad-hominem. My day wasn't complete, without someone lowering the level of discourse, as you just have.
The government is now nothing but a Rent-A-Cop for those corporations.
I know.
A noble sentiment, without effective representation or recourse.
See Michael Hudson.
Don't take the brainwashing, just because it's free.
There are more AMERICANS of Christian background that deliberately reject Darwin.
OK. You are inspired!
It don't got Rothschilds or Warburgs, either - but you know, they the ones who really pwn3d the shit.
Mr. Liberty? As in USS Liberty? Cheers!
No mods? Why not donate to the victim's fund instead? This economy is really putting the hurt on some of us: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/22/business/22yachts.html?_r=2&hp
