And I will stick with my old Panasonic 24 Pin printer. I just re-ink the cartridge every once in while. I even have an older Citizen GSX 140. Columbus brought it over on the Santa Maria.
I hate to be a complainer but if it is that accurate then would it not be more impacted by the strength of the local gravitational field? It the gravity is weaker in Fort Collins as compared to Fort Walton Beach and there was a clock in each then they would not keep in sync. With older less accurate clocks, perhaps it does not matter??? Maybe that would be a plus? Testing General Relativity? I don't know.
My GPS can display my speed. If a GPS was built that ONLY displayed or output speed, then it would be a simple matter of integrating over time to get distance with the information about precisely where the car had been being left out. Of course internally, the GPS would have to know location, it just would not have to report it. Would they do that? I doubt it.
So could renewable energy sources. Nuclear is another BIG thing. That's what the government wants. BIG things. Lets try a whole bunch of small things. Distributed diverse power sources.
Much better for the economy - though possibly not good for Bush's friends. Much safer, much better environmentally.

That's baloney. I've known programmers older than him that were good programmers. I've know programmers younger than him that were terrible programmers. I don't like the word programmer anyway.
Why do they have to come up with these stupid solutions. Storing Carbon underground. What is wrong with storing it in trees like they did in the old days. There are millions of acres of land that have been deforested by people that could be put to use doing this.
Distributed power systems is what we need. Not big power systems. Distributed and varied. Not single kind. coal/nuclear. We need all kinds of power systems. Diversification of power sources.
This is what industrial type people propose. Big, Large, Humongous. Why not many small? Why not try conservation too. How about intelligent wall warts that would automatically disconnect from the wall when they do not need the power? How about better lighting systems?

I remember many years ago I used to have a 40 LB Schwinn bicycle that I used to ride a lot. I put toe clips on it but that was all. I used to ride with other riders who had 20 to 25 LB bicycles that were all Campy and expensive. I could keep up with them as I was a stronger rider. It is not all Tech. Tech might give you the edge if you are all equal but if you do not practice and ride a lot it is not worth it.

If I got paid what I get now as an IT worker, I would rather drag a blanket through the woods singing songs.

"Move back to Wisconsin. We're not kidding."
Hum, I thought Wisconsin was one of the Blue states?
That makes it NOT part of Jesusland.
Sorry, the USA is too concerned about Moral Values.
You know, keeping the sanctity of marriage and keeping the oil companies in the money.
"Ray - wife, and 2 1/2 kids - must consult with wife before buying - tendency to look for bargains "
That's me - except for that part about the wife.
