When I first got TLC it was great. They had shows like The day the universe change and Connections. Both of these James Burke shows were great. TLC even produced their own version called Connection 2 and Connections 3. They made you think. But now all that is on there are people redecorating other poeples houses and some guy building weird cars. I guess you have to program what the public wants more stupid "reailty" shows. just my $.02
I have a friend who works for c0x cable and I have been trying to tell him this. He swears that you WILL buy a new TV by 2006. I will belive it when I see it.
He sounds like an aging hippy that got cut because he wasn't the new kid on the block anymore. I agree some people need to get over how much thet hate Bush and direct their anger,or energy some where else.
Also Check out "The Making of the Hydrogen bomb" by the same author. Teller was the scientist most responsible for pushing for the "Super" or Thermonuclear weapons. Very smart man, staunch anti-communist. He was one of the main people who pushed to revoke Oppenhimer's security clearance.

I have owned a 1966 mustang since I was 15. I still have it. It has never helped me get a girl in bed. Where are these girls? They weren't at FSU when I was there. Could there be another problem? Hmmmmmm? It couldn't be me? Note to self: Never ask sex questions on Slashdot.
I Know I may be thought of as a TROLL but, really. People are not going to pay extra for a radio, then pay a subscription to listen to the radio. People will point out that Cable tv is the same basic model. I disagree. I watch TV when I am home. I listen to the radio in may car. I am not in my car enough to PAY for the programming, yes I know I pay in different ways. But you see my point. Who are you customers. Just a little rant.
I know that this is off topic but "carrying a machine gun is legal in the USA" is not a true statement.
I am assuming that you mean fully automatic by "machine gun" and not semi-automatic as in your basic hunting rifle by Remington or Browining. Yes it is legal if you have the necessary permits and follow the letter and intent of the law. Which, BTW, are very hard to get since the Clinton administration. (Which I don't think is a bad thing)
I know I sound like a troll but it really makes me mad when people spout off about things like that.
It worked right after first boot on my Thinkpad 600E. I am running version 8.2 of mandrake and a US Robotices wireless card I bought from Tiger Direct for around $40.00. Good luck.
If you think about what you just said, it makes perfect sense on the surface,but let's say that no one had to go into work. With no employees at a certain bulding there would be no need for your company to own,lease, or what ever. Now your company sells that bulding, just like every other company that "doesn't need " any employees at there buldings anymore. So there is no one to rent old buldings. Now what is the owner, bank that holds the title to the land and bulding going to do for income. Banks that cannot get money back out of real estate will begin to fail. Something else, Car makers, since no one is buying cars they dont need any employees. More job loss. I think that I have made my point. Things are never as easy as they seem.
At the plant where I work at now. I heard of a story a few years back where the guards were going to start checking bags on the way out the gate. Upon hearing this one of the "Old timers" who had been there for years, and was not to be intimidated, spent the entire day makeing confeti at an old fashion blade cutter. By the end of the day he had a grocery sack full. When the guard asked him what was in the bag, he dumped in on the ground. They tell me that it looked liked it had snowed there for about two days.
I also agree that we, The United States Goverment, has created two 700 lbs gorillas. And let me guess who will run the companies, Gates and Ballmer? Nothing will change. They are the same person.

It would be a shame to blow it up.
I wonder how many people got that reference.
Mad Max, The Road Warrior.
And people wonder why California is called the Land of Fruits and NUTS.

Amen, brother. hp 28s
I wouldn't give anything for my hp 28s. Once you learn RPN you just can't go back to a "normal" calculator again.
Yea right, Like they would give the job to a person who posts messages here.
