Then we could put steam vents at 90 degree angles and spin the earth faster. The increased spin could then be used to generate power off of the magnetic field of the Van Allen belt.
For this to work we'd may need to have a "hindmost" central world that was almost all arcologies. Nothing we need to worry about soon. I mean, I've been to Montana.
Considering that my 1998 Volvo V70 wagon (versatile) should last me another 20 years, and I'll be 73 then, this will come in handy when I'm ready to buy again. And if that dies, I still have my 2001 S60 to putz around in.
Ford sold the Volvo Car Corporation in 2010 to Geely Automobile of China for $1.8 billion, following on from their sale of Jaguar Land Rover in 2008 and Aston Martin in 2007.
On original POTS circuits the ring tone was actually the 25Hz signal sent to the phone with the phone's bell coils supplying some of the ringback harmonics along with a ring generator. With a good ear you could estimate how many phone sets were ringing. The audio path was already set-up while the phone rang. If the called party was too near an AM broadcast transmitter you might even hers some of the program between rings. The off-hook condition on the called party just disconnected the ring generator at the CO and started any billing equipment.
Of course this all ended with the last of the Stroger and crossbar offices.
I use to be a Sr. Network Engineer in 2000 for Amazon. I could only drink the Kool-Aid for about a year. Then went on to work with smaller companies and burned out on that. Worked almost 2 years installing DirecTV, I was 2 stone lighter on that job. Then ran around as a service tech fixing strip mall stores and big box stores... go tired of all the driving.
Now, at 53, I'm working for a medium size aerospace firm and learning MS. We got bought out by the French and will be switching to Zodiac and having to renumber the whole shop. I'm getting paid half of what I got at Amazon, but much better healthcare. I have a very short commute and love the people that I work with. My job title is SysAdmin, but really it's network engineering, facilities, plumbing, help desk, electrician, cable monkey, and AV club. I love the verity and am very happy.
Look for a smaller place where all the little things you've learned over the years come in handy.

Do whatever you want after that. They don't know or care what you're doing. Not their job. Need to get to a POS? Just unplug the Ethernet at the patch panel and then go "service" it. Act like you're on a bluetooth talking to NCR while you're at it.
Low quality laptops? What the hell are you talking about? We send people all over the world with HP laptops. The EliteBook series is a freaking trooper.
I don't know what low end you are buying but don't put all their laptops in one basket. We order these with 16GB RAM and 240GB SSDs. I've never had to have one returned for service that is under 3 years old. Like I said, these are traveling all over the world and used by on-site aerospace engineers.
As far as support, I've never experienced more that a three day turn around.
We buy PCs from HP because they are dead easy to work on. They come with a bit of crap but still a basic Windows 7 Pro build. Don't matter, they also come DVDs for both W7 and W8.1. We do enough machines that we have our own image anyway. The SFF (small form factor) case is the best I've ever had to use. I hardly ever touch a screwdriver anymore. I've also not yet had one die on us, out of a few hundred. The commercial HP stuff is actually quite nice and affordable.

Profit!
Yes, we become a world of programmers and gamers. The whole is is our mothers' basement.

A mini Dyson Sphere around the earth?
I think you stretch it with innate talent. Far more important are connections.
Yeah, but when you get both working together, that's when the world changes.

Neeerrrrrt! That is incorrect. The correct answer is, "Who is Greely of China."

What does the "D" in ISDN stand for? "does."

Old telecom joke.

Not much stop and go in a motorcade.

'twas a joke.
I've seen mine go from 5 to 15 and back and forth. Never seen a 10 though.
5 digit UIDs are far beyond caring about mod points.
4 digit UIDs have unlimited mod points anyway.
3 digit UIDs can take mod points away from users.
2 digit UIDs.. well, there's only one still posting and he bought his so he gets jack shit.
And Biggs Junction! If that is gone where am I going to pee after driving over Satus?
But Rocky Reach has a cool electrical museum. Anyway I always thought that Wanapum was closer to Matawa than Vantage.
Hey! Was that on-topic? What a way to kill a rant.
This law is looking to have all the carriers actually implement a lost/stolen no-fly list..
And with a simple typo your $500 phone is now just an MP3 player.
I'm with srobert on this one. I use to host images.slashdot.org back when Rob's T1 got full. I could find some pipe if there was a cause.
Remember, it's slashdot.ORG. We need to get back to the non-profit days.
and that from a high three digit number ;)
