Don' worry. With your ever extending life span (74 years male in US?), you'll have plenty o' time to get sick and die. Aren't you bummed you don't live 500 years ago, in a time of natural products and an average life span of 37?
Hey, I'm a blue collar, white trash, perennial collage student geek who works tech support. Games are meant for me? Cool! Where can I find SMAC/X for GBA?
Oh man, I haven't thought of Katz for ages. Because of that cartoon back then (when Foxtv was cool), I always viewed his posts through squiggle vision.
I work at a gubberment location, with smart cards out the wazoo. About 10% of our calls are for locked smart cards or forgotten 4 digit pins. Sigh. And the people I support are supposed to be some of the brighter folks of the US.
Vonnegut's explanation of the sublime, after experiencing the Dresden helped me make sense of the bombing of Iraqi positions in Desert storm. It was so far beyond my comprehension, watching a bomb go off 20 miles away and feeling the ground shake, that I could only relate it to Vonnegut's and Tolkien's descriptions of war.
I like having a choice from all my music, depending on my mood. It's not about trying to listen to all my music all at once. I also have a 1GB shuffle and it sucks when I want to listen to a song I didn't put on it. I suppose it's the same reason I have several thousand books in my house. Choice is cool!
After seeing a presentation by Intel and Apple, concerning how Parallels is using the virtualization tools built into the Core Duo chips (allows Windows and Linux to run at full speed, within/over OSX), I can see OSes become more like Window Managers. The Intel guys were talking about putting more device driver tools on the chips as well. Once most of the low level stuff is hard coded and apps just have to be written once, it won't really matter who makes your GUI. In ten years time, it's likely most folks personalization will be hosted online as well. People will favor their computers with as much regard as they have for their cable box today.

A hard light hologram? Who'd go for that?
Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
Considering the Prime Meridian runs through the middle of Greenwich, UK...
Maybe we should move that puppy over to Iceland?

Didn't Squirt My Vinyl open for the Ramones in '78?

Was that the show where Air Force guys went through a star donut and helped the Jews conquer Rome?

And the old Sony Handicams.
But I'd prefer anything to those shitty-ass white buds.
Ah, that's where you're supposed to wear them.
You might remember HD209458b as a 'hot Jupiter' that boils under the glow of its very nearby star.
I'm Troy McClure HD209458b. You might remember me from such extra-solar planets as a 'hot Jupiter' that boils under the glow of its very nearby star.

I still have my Newton 2100. Suite!
It turned inside out?
And then it exploded.

Asimov shot first?
Corinthians: Sounds Latin. Did Virgil write this? An early novel? Never heard of it.
No, Cat's Cradle!
Ice-9 rocks!
Can I recommend a Stephen King novel for your next read? How about Anne Rice?
Matsushita sounds more American than Panasonic. Same with Datsun.
I want monitor paint, that I can just splash on the wall and that'll be my monitor. That would be cool.
I thought the joke (I first heard on brit bikes site) was;
Q: Why don't the British make computers?
A: They haven't figured out how to make them leak oil.
That out of the way, I wonder how long it'll be before they require Whitworth sockets to work on these things?

Speak for yourself non-melted eyeballs boy! Some of us are old. We're out on our lawns, yelling at the kids don' cha' know.
